A Little Kindness

A herd-boy once lying in field
tending his sheep, heard deep
groan. The boy started to run In
dismay, but voice stopped him
saying: Don't run away, but
come and help me, and / will re-
ward you handsomely"
The boy finding the voice to be
kind and honest, came and found
giant had hurt his foot in uproot-
ing large tree. The little shep-
herd took OF his shirt and tore II
into strips to bind up the foot.
After he had finished, the giant
got up, and began to limp telling
the boy to follow him.
He led him to an underground
hall in which large banquet was
being held. On the table were many
golden goblets and viands spread in
great profusion. The giant told the
boy to fall to. The youth ate and
drank Justify, and when he had
finished the giant gave him loaf
10 stow away under his tunic, and
to eat when he felt hungry.
The next morning the boy being
hungry, at once thought Of the
loaf the giant had given him. TAX
ing it from his tunic he tried to
cut 1t, but all in vain. then he bit
into 1t and out rolled a piece OF
gold, the second and third time
the same thing happened, and he
saw by biting in it, he made no
dint in the magic loaf. Seeing he
was the possessor of large
amount of money, he went to
big city and spent it in useful
way.
The people who knew him Won
dered how he had grown 50 rich in
such a short time and they came
to him to get the prescription.
The only answer he would give was
by little kindness we can OBJ
tain many things, do unto others
as you would have them do unto
you, and you shall have your re-
ward here and hereafter"

their mother was weeping for him.
Paul hushed them all as quickly
as he could, being fearful lest his
patient should be disturbed. But
there was not happier boy in all
6riquland or indeed In the whole
Cape Colony, than he was then,
for he knew he had saver JAMS
life.
The fat storekeeper and his wife
knew it, too, and nearly over
whelmed him with their gratitude.
He did not get much rest that
night, BECAUSE he was so afraid OF
sleeping beyond medicine time.
But for once disturbed slumbers
did not matter, and he devoted him
self to his patient with as much
carefulness as If he had been an
experienced doctor
When he set off at sunrise next
morning it was with the assurance
that Jan was fairly started on the
road to recovery. This even con-
soled him for the humiliation he
suffered in being kissed by Tant
Melin, while a white man and
three Kafiiirs looked on grinning
at the spectacle.

Once upon a time there was q
lion from Africa which was put
into a cage with some other lions
at the Zoo. .. ~.
This lion was smaller than the
rest, and was always walking back
and forth trying to get out The
other lions soon grew tired Of this
and tried to make 1t quit
One night the Zoo caught on
fire and the keeper came with
wagon drawn by horses and let
the other animals out into cage
which was on wheels. All the an
imals except the small lion were
rolled away. Then the firomen
came and the Are was put out and
they saved the lion.
A small hole had been burned
in the small lions cage which the
keeper failed to see. One night
when all the animals had fallen
asleep the small lion crept softly
out and ran away to the woods.
When the keeper heard that the
lion escaped, he sent some men
to hunt for 1t, but not trace could
be found
Winter came on, and the lion
not being used to it, got very cold.
Again men were sent out to
search for it.
This time they found it and took
1t back to It's cage in the Zoo 1t
was very glad to get back and did
not try to escape again

the dark winkel to the crowded
living room beyond, which was also
the family bedroom, for father
mother and FIVE children.
Jan, who looked about 10 years
old, lay on a sort of settee near
the stove with white face and blue
lips, breathing in loud gasps which
frightened Paul.
But his father had said that
there was hope if only the medicine
were in time, and as 1t was in time
of course, there must be hope, so
he would not let himself despair.
Shivering little from cold and
excitement, he dropped on his
knees by the settee, and, slipping
the bag from his back, took out
the bottle of medicine and then
called for spoon.
ut Is Of no use," sighed Tant
Melin.
mo use at ALL" echoed the store
keeper who was as big and fat as
his wife, and who seemed too up
set to do anything but meekly fol
low her about and get in everyone's
way.
He is so nearly dead" sobbed
Tant Melin.
Then the four children who were
not i'll sat up in their bed, staring
curiously at the English boy in wet
clothes, and wondering what he
wanted to do to Jan.
II must have SPOON" insisted
Paul, then catching sight of a dirty
cup which had a spoon In 1t, he
reached for the spoon, washed 1t
on his wet sleeve, wiped 1t dry on
the blanket covering the sick boy,
and pouring out spoonful of the
medicine gently inserted it be-
tween the blue lips.
JAMS breathing seemed easier
after the first dose had been swal-
lowed. Then, as half an hour had
to elapse before the next could
be given, Paul turned his attention
to stabling and feeding Nell. When
this was done he begged the loan
of dry garments from Tant Melin,
and when he had changed into
them it was time to give Jan the
medicine again and he hurried to
his side.
No one suggested that it was OF
no use now, for already JAMS
was better, and soon aft
or the third dose had been given
he fell into quiet sleep
ut is a miracle!" cried Tant
Melln, bursting into such a noisy
fit Of sobbing that the four chill
iren bounced up in their bed, and |
all fell crying together under the

Nell's pace was slower now, and
1t was an hour before the light got
near enough for Paul to be sure il
was the place he had to make for
Even then he was only near enough
to recognize the winkel by its cor
rugated roofing, when suddenly the
light went out. But there was the
moon to guide him now, and he
soon rode up to the door and
knocked loudly for admittance
He was cold and tired, his wet
clothes chung round him in a hor-
rid clammy fashion, but his one
thought was that he had arrived in
time with the medicine, and moth
ing else mattercd very much.
A sloucl1ing step sounded on the
boarded floor of the store, and the
door was unbarred by an enormous
ly stout woman, who held an evil
smelling lamp in her hand.
What do you want?" she asked
in Dutch and Paul replied in the
same language:
II have brought the medicine
from the Doctor Thorne, and it is
to be administered at once"
ut is of no use-Jan is too near
ly dead for medicine" she said,
stolidly, her great fat face wrinkled
with grief she could not suppress
Paul gasped as II some one had
struck him in the chest and
knocked the wind out Of him. To
have come through so much, only
to arrive too late, was the bittercst
of disappointments. Then he re-
membered how ignorant country
people were about sickness, and
tried again.
"Tant Melin, let me come in and
see Jan, please. Father said that
il Jan got the medicine before
midnight there was hope, and 1t
isn't yet by long way"
by long way" ..:
mo, it Is ten minutes past nine
O'clock" replied.
Tant Melin, who was too fat to
deal with more than one fact at
time. Then she said, In her slow,
putting way. you can come in
and see Jan If you like"
1t never once occurred to her
slow mind to express any gratitude
to Paul for coming so far through
such storm to bring help to her
sick child.
But Paul was used to Beers and
their ways, SO this did not trouble
him. He was chiefly concerned to
gee that the medicine was given
o the patient, and guessed that the !
,nly chance for the boy to get it

Heroic Pag! Saves A Life


Paul can you upsaddle the little
f6an and ride out tn Riefonton with
some medicine this afternoon?"
asked the doctor. There liz a child
over there who will be dead be-
fore midnight IL no aid Is forth
coming and ! have had a call to
Cluckdrop."
III go, father. Is the stuff
ready?" said Paul. coming to take
his fathers horse, which was worn
sixty miles since dawn.
1T shall be ready In ten minutes.
Get some food for yourself and be
prepared to start by that time"
the doctor answered with an anx-
ious look at the sky, as he turned
in at his surgery door.
There was a storm coming up,
but when life and death were in
the balance, one could not walt for
weather, so Paul must go, and
make the best of 1t.
Paul unsaddled first The little
roam was apt to be difficult beast
to manage, and IL It took ten min
utes to get her ready, he would
have to eat as he went along.
1t was six minutes before he
slipped the bride over the hook
on the post Of the sto0p, and called
himself ready to start. Then he
hurried into the kitchen, where
his mother was looking after the
household Kaffir, and stuffing
big piece OF current loaf into his
jacket pocket, he spent his remain
Ing minutes in eating mealies hot
from the saucepan, which the grin
ling Kaffir boy forked out for him.
"Ready?" shouted the doctor.
SO Paul stuffed the last mealie
sealding hot into his mouth. hur-
ried into the surgery and had the
leather bag containing the medi-
cine strapped securely on his back.
Then, having received some last
directions as to his journey, he
went out to mount.
But the roam objected to the pro
cess, and kicked vigorously, until
Paul called the Kaffir to come and
hold up the near foreleg after
which things quieted down a bit,
and he was able to get his leg
across the saddle.
His mother came to the door to
see him start, and, waving his hat
to her. he was of, down the wide
street, the roam going at tremen-
dous pace.
Riefonton was thirty mile away
over the veldt, and Paul had been
there anly once before. While day
light lasted this did not matter, az
objects eight and nine miles dis
tant were plainly visible in the
clear air, so 1t would not be easy
to miss the way. !
For the first ten miles the jour
ney was pure pleasure. for the roam
swept along at racing pace, and
the fiercest heat of the day was
over.
But the storm was travelling on
behind. Happening to turn in his
saddle, Paul was STARTLED AT the
blackncss Of the sky.
1--WE are in for it, Nell, and no
mistake about I'll" he exclaimed,
Shaping the side of the little roam,
which responded with squeal, and
tore onward at top speed.

The laws of the state where she is imprisoned
provide that after ne-third of a prison term has
been served the prisoner who has made record for
good conduct may be recommended for parole, and
the time has come this case.
There is sharp opposition among the members of
the parole board to granting freedom with
parole restraint to any person guilty of this most
vicious ofense, and there will be many people
throughout America who will feel the way.
It may be that the youth Of this when
