FARMER SMITH, Children's Editor. HILLY BUMPUS AND HOVER By Farmer Smith One afternoon when things woro too Quiet for Billy Rumpus, tho goat, ho started out for a walk. Ho had not gone far when ho met Hover, tho big dog. "Morning," said Dllly Rumpus, ns saucy as eouia do, ior no nau nover lined Rover, anyway, "It's afternoon, by tbo shadows." replied Rocr. "Anything, except a goat, would know It Is afternoon." "Excuse me, I forgot to look at my wrist watch," said Billy with a laugh. "Wrist watch!" "That's what I said. You have big ears. Why don't you listen when you are spoken to?" "I do, when somebody worth whllo Is speaking," This nettled Billy so that be bad to stand still for a time until ho could think what to say next. Then ho said slowly, "Your tongue Is always banging out nnd I think If you would talk less It might-bo glad tu stay In your mouth." "Just because my tongue sticks out It Is no sign I am always talking," answered Rover. "How do dogs perspire, if not with their tongues?" "Don't know. Nover was a dog. aiad i am not," snapped Billy. t , "Do you know I would llko to seo you get a good beating, but I haven't time to give It to you myself. If thero Is pno thing the hired man loves to do, It Is to BEAT you." At the word BEAT, Billy Jumped, for ho was still Bore from tho last beating tho hired man gave him. Rover 'looked at hlm'from tho corner of his eye, while Billy enturod: "That hired man Is tho meanest man I eer knew, Ho is so mean " "You Judge people by the way they treat YOU. Now, I Judge them by the way I want them to treat me, and they aro gen erally very kind to me because I am kind to them." "Who ever heard of a dog being kind?" asked Billy. "I would like to be kind to you for once Just to soe If you know what I am talking about. I advise you to get out of thl barn before you eat something which does not agree with you." Rovor looked at Billy warnlngly. "Everything agrees with me," answered Billy. "I don't," said Rover. "You better skee doodle)" A . Just at that moment a etone came whiz. ing through the air and hit Billy on his aide, almost knocking the Mrma out of him He scampered away as fast as he could' but not too fast to hear Rover say: ' 'My tongue Is some good, after all v.n It you, didn't heed my warning."

When 1 opened them again it was to see poor Mai ut higher in tho air than ever he Hew before I thought that ho would never come down, but ho did at last with an awesome thud, .lana went to him and very Rentty. now that he was dead, puked him up In his trunk. I prayed that ho mlgHt catry mm away to some biding place and leave mo n peace. Hut not so With Mow and htalilv strides, rocking tho deceased Mnrut up ami down in bis trunk, ns a nurse might rock a baby, he marched on to tho very stono where I lay, behind, which 1 suppose bo bad seen or R-iielt mo nil the time. Tor quite, a long whllo, It seemed more than a century, bo i-tood over me, htudvlng mo as though I Interest d hi in very much, the water of tho lako tilckllnK In a refresh ing sticnm from his great eats nn to my back. r Had It not been for that water I think l hhould havo fnlntcd. but ns It was I did the next bet thing prt tended to bo dead. I er haps this monster would scoin to touch a dead man. Watching out of llio coiner of my tye. I haw him lift ono vast paw that mi of the size of tho cat of an nrm-chalr and hold It over me Now good-by to tbo world, thought I Thin tin. foot detcendid as a atiam hammer does, but also a-i a steim hammer hometlmes does when ui-ed to crack nuts, stopped ns It touched mv hack, and picscnt ly camo to rnith again alnngbldo of me, perhaps because .lana thought tho foothold dangerous At nny rate, ho took another and a better way. Depositing tbo remains of Mai ut with the most tender caio besldu me. ns though the nuipo weio putting the child to bed. ho unwound his yauls of trunk, and began to feel mo all over with Its tip. commencing nt tho back ot my necw. im i the sensation of that chimin), wriggling tip upon my spinal column r Down It went till It i cached the rent of my trousers. Thcie :t pinched, presumably to asceitaln whether or not I wero ma lingering, a most agonizing pinch llko to that of a pair of blacksmith's long! So sharp was it that, although 1 did not stir who was aw nro that tho (.lightest movement in mt death, It tote a pleco out of the .-.tout cloth of my breeches, to s,a) nothing of a portion of tho skin beneath This seemed to ns-tonis-h the beast, for It lifted the tip of Its trunk and shifted Us bead, ns though to ex amine the fragment by the light of tho moon. Now Indeed all was over, for when It saw blood upon that cloth ' I put up ono short, piteous prayer to heaven to ave mo from this terrlblo end, and lo, It wns an swered I For Just ns Jaija. tho lesults of tho In spection being unsatisfactory, wan cocking 'his ears and making leady to slay me. thero rang out tho short, sharp report of a rltle fired within a few yards. (Ilanclno; up at the Instant, I saw blood spurt from tho monster's left eye, where evidently tho bullet bad found a home. He felt nt Ids cyo with his trunk; then, uttering a hcienm of pain, wheeled round nnd lushed away. rilAI'Tllll Mil The I'linno I SUPPOSE that I swooned for a mlnuto or two. At nny into, I remember a long and very curious drenm, such a dream as Is evolved by a patient under laughing gas, that is very clear nnd vivid nt tho time, hut Immediately afterward slips from tho mind's grasp as water does from tho clenched hand. It was something to tho effect that all those hundreds of skeleton elephants rose nnd marshaled themselves before me, making obeisance to me by bend. Ing their bony knees, because, as I quite understood, I was the only human being that had ever escaped from .lana More over, on the foremost elephant's skull Hans was perched llko a imhout, giving words of command to their seirled ranks nnd explain ing to them that It would bo very con- venlent If thev would cat rv their tllBkn. for which they had no further use, nnd pile them In a certain place I forget where that must be near a good road to facilitate tlidlr LUbscquent tianspoit to a land1 where they would bo innde Into billiard balls and tho backs of ladles' hairbrushes, Ne.M, through the figments ot that retreating dream I heard tho undoubted voice of Hans himself, which of course I knew to bo ah surd, as Hans was lost and doubtless dead, saying: "If you are alive. Baas, please wake up "TAU AND .FEATHERS" -.' f j. 'i ' ,", -J ' -, ,jHi fV. i i l ".. . U . "5? .r . ., .

I think I hit .lai'.i In the eve. but so big n beast will soon get over so tittle a thing as that nnd look for us, nnd the bullet from Intnmlil Is loo small lo kill him, Haas, especially an It Is not llkdy that cither of us could hit him In the other eve." Now I mt up nnd staled. Yes. there wns linns h.niself, looking Just tho same ns usual, only perhaps lather dirtier, engaged In setting a cap on to tho nlpplo ot tho little I llle lntombl. "Hans," I said In a hollow voice, "why the devil nro you here?" "To save you from the devil, of course, Haas," bo tcphed aptly. Thru, resting the gun ngnlnst tho stone, tlv old fellow knelt down by mv side nnd. thinning his arms round me, began to blubber over me, cx-ilalmlng- "Just In time, Haas! Only Jut In time, for as usual linns mado a iuoh of thlng.i nnd Judged baill) III tell ou bow after ward .Still. Just In time, thanks be to )our icverend fnthei, tho prodikimt.

Haas, and Hint king of the devils, ,lnna, will bo hack nfter us presently, as soon ns ho has wiped the blood out of his eye " I didn't make any remark, having no tasto for conversation Just then, but only looked nt poor M.uut. who lay by me as though he were sleeping. "O Haas," snld linns, "there Is no need to trouble about him, for his neck Is broken nnd he's quite dead. Also, It Is ns well," ho added die i fully. "For, ns your rev erend father doubtless remembered, the camel could never cm ry threo. Moreover, If bo stops here, peihapn Jnna will come back to play with hlm instead of follow ins us" ' Poor Mntut! This wns bis requiem as sung by linns. With a last glance nt tho unhnppy man to whom I had grown nttached In a way during our timo of Joint captivity and trial, I took tho aim of tho old Hottentot, or mtber leaned upon his shoulder, for at (list I felt loo weak to walk by myself, nnd picked my path with hlm thiough the stones nnd skeletons of elephants across tho pla teau oastw'atd. that Is, away from tho lake. About :00 yards from tho scene of our tragedy was a mound ot rock similar to that on which Jnna had appeared, but much smaller, behind which wo found the camel, kneeling ns a well-trained beast of the tort should do and tethered to a stone. As wo went, In brief but Hulllcleiit lan guage Hans told mu his story It seemed that after be had shot the Kendall general It camo into his cunning, forese, lug mind that bo m ght bo nf more use to mo frqe than as a ompanlon In captivity, or that If I wero killed he might in that caso llvo to bring vengeance on my sln)ors. So ho brokn away, as lias lison de.su lbod, nnd hid till nightfall on tho hillside. Then by the light of tho moon hu tracked us, avoid ing tho villages, and ultimately found a placo of sholter In a kind of cao In the fotest near to Kimba Town, where no peo plo lived. Hero ho fed the camel at night. IN THIS COLD WEATHER f'J Copyrlcht, Life I'ubllahlni; Company. "Can't you move over and let me warm my feet, too?" concealing It nt dawn In the cave. Tho days ho spent up a tall tree, whence ho could vvntch nil that went on In tho town beneath, living meanwhile on somo food which ho carried In a bag tied to tho saddle, helped out by fcreen mealies which ho stole from n neighboring field. Thus ho caw most of what passcel In tho town, Including tho desolation wrought by the fearful tempest of hall, which, being In their oavo. both ho and tho camel escaped without harm. On the next evening from his post of outlook up the tree, where bo had now somo dlfllculty in hiding himself because the hall bad btrlpped off all Its leaves, he saw Marut and myself brought from the guest house and taken away by the escort. Descending and running to tho cave, he saddled tho camel and started In pursuit, plunging Into the forest and hiding there when ho perceived that tho escort wero leaving us. Here ho waited until they had gono by on their return Journey. So closo did they pass to him that ho could oveihenr their talk, which told hlm they expected, or rather were sure, that we should both bo de stroyed by the elephant Jana, their devil god, to whom tho camelmen had been already sacilflced. After they had de parted he remounted and followed us. Hero I nsked htm why he had not overtaken us beforo wo came to the cemetery of ele phants, ns 1 presumed bo might have done, since he stated that ho was close In our rear. This Indeed was the case, for It was the head of tho camel I taw behind the thorn trees when I looked back, and not the trunk of an elephant, as I had sup. posed. At the time ho would give mo no direct answer, except that ho grew muddled, ns he had already suggested, nnd thought It best to Keep In the background nnd see what happened, Long afterward, however, bo admitted to mo that he acted on a pro sentiment. "It seemed to me, Haas," ho said, "that your reverend father was telling me that I should do best to let you two go on nnd not show myself, since If I did bo we should all three be killed, ns one of us must walk whom the other two could not desert. "Whereas, If I left you as you were, ono of you would bo killed and the other escape, and that tho one to be killed would not be you, Unas, All of which came about as the Spirit spoke In my head, for Marut was killed, who did not Matter, and you know tho rest.

Kinm that moment ho wnlted for an op pnitunlly lo fhoot Jaua In tho only spot where so soft a bullet would, nn ho knew, have tho slightest chance of Injuring hlm vitally nninel).ln the e)o for ho wns suie tbnt Its penetiatlon would not be sulllclcnt to reach the vitals through that thick hide and tho mats of lle'h behind.

After all, while It Is no testimony to the genuineness of nrt to say that It la favored by tha mass, It Is no argument that a work Is not responslvo to the touchstono of art be causa It wins the applause of listening galleries. All great creators have wrought for nonularltv; oDcra composers certainly havo bad It much In mind If they considered nt all tho capaciousness of the auditoriums In which their works wero to bo staged, and Impresarios havo gnashed their teeth, rent their locks nnd chewcel hard on their cigars bceauso operas were not popular. Substitutions In tho cast which brought Hlccardo Teganl Instead of PaBquale Amato for the Amonasro, nnd Basil Ruysdael In stead of Glullo Hossl for the King did not mar tho performance. Nor did the fact that threo of tlv) principals belong to the bel ligerent Teutons and tho others to the bel ligerent bersegllorl, who cheer for tho re conquest of "Italia Irredenta" rufflo tho ar tistic harmony. Johanna f! ad ski's Ethiopian enslaved princess is a familiar impersonation, and sha repeated It with wonted clarity and volumlnousness of volco nnd admirable sense of tho theatrical, particularly in tha Nile nnd the entombment scenes. Ober Is a comparative newcomer as tho jealous Pharaonlc daughter, nnd sho proved as stalwait and vindictive ns opera-goers have learned to expect" from tho majority of her predecesssors In tho halrcomblng scene her voice seemed strident and 'forced, but thero was a gain In mellowness as the opera proceeded. Mlnnlo Kgcncr voiced the melodious orisons behind the scenes very beautifully. Olovannl MArtlnelll was in excellent vocal form ns Iladamcs, but though he has tho physical presence to de note the romantic figure of tho librettist's imaginings he falls In the freedom of pose and largeness of gesture that belong to the part, so that histrionically he did not make the Inipresslvo hero that belonged to his lovely singing. Teganl, new here In the role, gave a conventional but theatrically effective Amonasro, nnd Iluysdael's klnc nnd Dldur's high priest were duly resonant.)
