but thinking for moment he said:
your majesty perchance thou has
a mount l shall search for her,
neither shall l return without her"
The king gazed up into the deep
black eyes above him, he noted the
pale face and said: Yea you shall
have a horse, and calling one Of the
stable servants told him to saddle
"Tilmote" one of the kings fastest
mounts and so saying farewell, this
brave youth rode away even in his
servants dress of short coarse
black tunic with the coarse black
sandles on his feet and sitting erect
on the black horse Tilmote he was
all blackness indeed but his pale
handsome face and the silver bride
of the horse he rode.
Quickly forgetting he had no
breakfast and was thirsty he rode
thru the hot hours Of the morning.
Mile after mile passed him and still
following the raiders horses feet
in the sand he came to the side of
a sparkling stream dancing thru
the forest. He drank and so did
the steed Tilmote and then resum-
ing his journey he saw in the dis
lance the town of Gaze and knew
the Puppets were there and sure
enough the sun shown down on
the white tents close to the city
for men feared the Rupees and
never fought them unless necessary
and Zen Mok knew he must wait
for the friendly darkness to do his
deed. So pausing by breadfruit
tree ate his fill, feeding the horse
also and sitting down fell to watch
ing the tents with anxious eyes; at
last darkness fell and spread her
black wings over the city. Mok
was satisfied. Slipping on his
stomach he moved slowly towards
the largest tents Qeaving his horse
tied behind him to the tree) and
thinking perhaps Bemtatza would
be in that tent as that was the
chiefs, he slipped quietly behind it
and heard loud conversations, one
loud voice was saying: II say she
Is the Princess Bemtatza and a
great ransom thou whilst have for
stealing her" And another lower
voice: yea, she is fair dost thou
know her to be the Princess"
YEA" came the loud voice, he
heard a strange noise in the tents
as though someone moving.

HIS SONG.

When the nuthatches call, it
sounds as if they were saying,
"Yank, yank, yank," and this is true
both of the white-breasted and the
red-breasted birds of this species,
says the American Forestry AS
ISOLATION of Washington, which is
conducting the national birdhouse
building contest for school children
that is arousing much interest.
These birds have a clever manner
of cracking nuts. They will wedge
them in the crevices of bark on the
tree and then peck at them with
their bills until the nut is opened.
Woodpeckers use their tails for
support as they climb the trunk Of
a tree but the nuthatches usually
climb with their head down and
their tail pointed toward the re-
NTH.

The men snarled: Get back
thou witch, do not move or thou
will surely die" and a sweet voice
proudly answered them from the
back of the tent. "Oh, men of
Satan whilst thou not take me back,
my father whilst reward thee rich.
ly?" NAY, charmer," said the soft
voice, then both men came out of
the tent, it was the chief and his
man. Now as their voices died
away it was Mok's hour!

and there they stood looking at
Bemtatza pulling on their black
whiskers. Bemtatza knew it was
no use to try to get away because
they were five thousand men in
this one section of men but she
started to scream but one OF the
Puppets put a large dirty hand over
her mouth and dragged her strug-
Cling out the window. She tried
to bite the Puppets hand, he ours
ed and took a large handkerchief,
bound it around her mouth. She
was taken out and put on horse
and tied.
Morning dawned bright and the
King and his household were up.
One dark handsome young man
had laid awake nearly all night
thinking of Princess Bemtatza and
early in the morning fell into a
troubled sleep and dreamed huge
crocodile ate the Princess and he
could not save her; he cried out
and woke himself up finding out
it was all dream he prepared for
his daily work. He went out into
the garden thinking maybe the
Princess would be there as she al
ways was in the mornings but no!
She was not there; he went into
the kings presence to get his Or
ders and just as he entered he
heard the king order Bemtatza's
old nurse to wake her up and call
ed her "a little sleepy head" but in
a few minutes the old nurse ran
into the room crying she is gone,
the window is wide open. The old
kings face grew white and he
chung on to Mok for support but
Mok said quietly to him: your
majesty perchance she has wan
dered out to the garden or around
the castle, shall l go and see?"
"Yea, boy, go and search for her,
dost thou think thou art right?" 81
do not know, your Royalty, but l
shall search and / will try to find
her for thee" and saying this the
young man ran thru the open door
out into the garden, making a trum-
pet of his hands, he called Princess
Bemtatza, Bemtatza, but nothing
answered back. Everywhere was
the same, no voice came back in
answer, naught but the echo Of his
own voice.
He came back and told the king,

THE FALL OF WARREN

An Englishman was being shown

can who was proud of his knowl-
edge of American history.
AS they neared the monument
the American said: "You know,
this is the place where Warren
fell"
WAS he seriously hurt?" asked
the Englishman, who was staring
at the gigantic column of stone.
"Hurt?" said the American scorn.

you don't like it. So if you are not
fond of it don't plan to become .
chemical engineer. One great
chemist when boy worked for a
living during the day and studied
at night in a little laboratory which
he set up in a shed. Thus he got
his training. 1t is easier for most
boys. A high school education, by
all means, and college education,
if possible, followed by a course
in technical school should be the
aim of the young chemical en-.
gineer. In addition some training
in general engineering is valuable;
the work of the chemical engineer
is often associated with that Of
other engineers.
After he finishes his training,
the chemist may follow the exam
pie of Tex Bradford's brother and
enter the employ Of some chemical
company. From this position there
is an opportunity for promotion to
chief chemist or even to an execN-
tive position in the business.
He may set up as consulting
chemist. This is risky business
unless he has sufficient capital Ito
carry him through till he gets a
practice established. The oppor-
tunities are many and varied and,
with the increase in the use of
chemical processes in industry,
these opportunities are continually
increasing. You will not 60 beg
ging for job, if you have a chem
ical education.
For further information, write to
the head of the department Of
chemistry in any large university
or technical school or to the secre-
tary of the American Chemical So
oiety, 1909 G ST., N W., Washing
