Samson, alas! The sound of the firing

they had come hurrying to discover

and pride Of my heart.
"And where on earth have you been,
young man?" he asked, laughing. did
Tobias kidnap you too?"
1t was very hard, as you will have
seen, to astonish the "king.'
But, though it was hard to astonish
and almost impossible to alarm him,
his sense of wonder was quite another
matter, and the boyish delight with
which he listened TO our several
stories would have made it worth
while TO undergo tenfold the perils we
had faced. Our stories. said the

''The Arabian Nights" dovetailing one

CALYPSO told her story simply and

When they had gone mile or two
from the house, he had had the gag
taken from her mouth. and, on her
promise not to attempt to escape
(which was, of course, quite impos-
sible) he had also had her unbound,
so that her hurried journey through
tbe woods was made as comfortable as
possible.
They were making, she had gathered
and as we had surmised-for the
northern shore, and, after about a
three hours march, she heard the
sound of the sea. On the schooner she
had found a cabin all nicely prepared
for her-even dainty toilet necessaries
and an excellent dinner was served,
ON some quite pretty china, to her
alone. Poor Tobias had seemed bent
