It'll tell you," answered.

Bobby. :

Triton" said I, was a Greek
deity"
"I guessed that" said Bobby
proudly.
EYES," Itcontinued, "he was a
marine god"
"A submarine god. I suppose"
chuckled Bobby.
Exactly" I laughed. He
lived under the sea, Now, before
I go further, Bobby, do you
remember who was the great god
OF the sea-"
Eyes, SIR" responded Bobby;
Neptune"
"Go to the head Of the class" I
declared, patting Bobby's fair
head.
Neptune was the real god Of
the sea, but Triton was his her
aid. When Neptune rode in his
chariot over the waves, Triton
rode on ahead Of him to an.
nounce his approach.
"And sometimes Triton and his
family-for there were many
Tritons-swam on ahead Of Nep-
tune"

THE STORY OF TRITON.

''You swim very we'll, my boy"
I said, but you could never swim
as well as the Tritons, because
they were not made hike us.
They were only half like human
beings. They were like men and
women to the waist, but then
they did not have legs. The rest
Of their bodies were like great
fishes"
Like mermaids,." suggested
Bobby.
EXACTLY" said I. $50 you can
imagine how they could swim.
Now, Triton had a great conch-
shell. That was his trumpet. And
how he did blow it!
when Neptune wanted the sea
to be smooth and quiet Triton
blew a sweet, gentle blast on his
trumpet. But when there was to
be rough weather or storms
Triton blew for all he was worth.
Then how the waves did rise!
Sometimes when Triton blew too
hard the shores became danger
GUS. This happened once, and
Dionysus and Hercules get after
him and there was an awful
fight"
THAT must have been fine"
said Bobby, Ito ride around in a
chariot on the ocean or to be
able to swim like a fish: but I
don't think 1t would have been
so nice to live in the wafer all
the time. don't mind being wet
sometimes, but I wouldn't want
it all the time"
"Oh," said I, Triton didn't live
in the water. He lived in a pal
ace Of gold under the sea-"
That's different" said Bobby,
gazing out on the blue ocean.
