F COURSE we all believe that there
a time and place for everything.
"ind that In the anteroom of a church It Is
5not seemly to discuss which particular
leverage one would like to have. However,
Kit happened thusly: The bride, you see,
LVas several minutes lato and the brides
'maids' frocks wcie made of tulle nnd It
as chilly, so some facetious bridesmaid,
' or, was it one of tho ushers'' spoko his
R. mind very clearly on the subject of tho
K, cold and damp atmosphere of this ante
room and suggested that nn well, lets
say "appetizer," would go to the spot.
Perhaps he only meant to bo kind and
i thoughtful for tho poor V.hlverin; femi
nine members of tho bridal party. Bo
that as It may. the Idea was greeted with
cheers, when suddenly, to the horror of
th party, tho door opened and the tall
and magnificently dlgnlfl".l figure of the
clergjman appeared, and with hand up
lifted said In a hushed whisper: "Ladles,
ladles, please be more quiet. EVERY
VTOIJD'can be heard In the chinch!"

This little word takes more courage to
sa.v than any word in the English language.
Such n simple word, too
Let me set down a rule, much as I halo

once.
Alwajs be ready to say NO. Have your
lips all puckered up ready to say It.
Here come a lot of boys let lis ffy, who
are going to "play hookey."
Will you go?
NO!
oh, the scorn they throw at joii all be

Ono afternoon It was a bit chilly, so
BUIv Bumpus curled up In tho sun back
of a tree out of tho wind and tried to
Ko to sleep. Every time his eyes closed
ho heard n, noise
Tap, tap, tap '
Blllv closed his cjes again and again,
only to bo nwakened by tliu noise. "
Tap, tap, tap'
Finally he got up and walked around
the trees, looking In all directions.
He saw no one
"Whero there Is a noise, there must bo
a nols,o Quaker," bo said outy loud.
"You mean, where there Is smoke, there
Is suro to bo fire," said a voice In tho
tree.
"Bight 'ou are, whoever jou are. but I
am no poet To whom am I Indebted for
all this terrible noise? ' Billy looked dp. .
"You are indebted to me, the Wood
pecker. But I am not making a noise, I nm
looking for worms nnd ns I do so I send lovo
messages to my wife, who is sitting on her
nest. We havo a code "
"I don't know what a code Is is It
something to f" raid Blll who was
alwajs thlnklng'of his stomach
"No, It Is 11 sj-stem of signals, like they
uso in wireless telegraphy See! Two taps
means, 'I love jou' The answer Is threo
taps, which means. 'I love you, too.' Two
short taps followed by two short taps
means, 'Look out " '
"It does, does It?"
Billy butted tho tree two butts and then
two more. ,
"Thank you, Hilly, you shook out two
nlco worms for me"
This wns too much for Billy Bumpus, so
ho trotted off In the direction of home, think
ing to himself. "Great Idea! I will havo
a eode with my own dear wife, tho precious
darling. When I am away I will butt a
tree, and If she Is listening sho will know
I (ova her more than llfo Itself and she
will answer me
Billy -soon nrriveu
nt the door of hla
Tap, tap tap. tap'
No answer.
Tap tail tap, tap! Harder this tlmo,
Just as Billy gave the last tap, Mrs.
Bumpus opened the door ho went In head
flret'so fast It upset Mrs. Bumpus und she
tumbled over her husband.
"Didn't you get my code?" shouted
"No but you get this broom. If you don't
watch yourself," answered Mrs. Bumpus
angrily. , ,
I was sending you a wireless message
of love. Two short taps and then two
"WHAT I" fairly shouted Mrs. Bumpus.
"That meojia ')Look out' I" and with that sho
swung ths broom at Billy's head, and ha
dodged out 'the door Just in tlm and 41a-

STILL we did not try to approach the huts,
not knowing bow we should be received
After my sojourn In Slinba Town I had
become possessed of 11 lovo of life In tbn
open.
For another two hours I limpid forward
with pain and grief by now I was hailing
on Haus's shoulder up an endless, nncul
tlvnted rlso clothed with tui.i.orbias and
fern like cvcails. At length wo leached Its
top and found ourselves within rllle shot
of n fenced native village 1 suppose that its
Inhabitants bad been warned of our coming
bv runmrs frorti the huts I have mentioned
At any rato tho moment we appeared the
men to the number of thirty or more,
poured out of tho south gate nrmed with
spears nnd other weapons mid proceeded
to ring us lound ami behave In n viry
threatening manner. I noticed at once that,
nlthough most of them were comparative!)
light In color, some of these men pal look
of the mgio 1h.1r.1cterp.tl1s nf the Black
Kendall from whom we bad escaped, to
such an extent Indeed that tills blood was
cleailv pieilomliiiint In them. Still, it was
also ili.ir that they win- all deadlj foes
of this people, for when I shouted out to
Hum that we weio the friends of llarul
and tlio'-e who worshiped the Child, they
veiled bail: that wo wile liars. No f 1 lends
of tho Child, the) said, imiiio fiom the
countrj of the Black Kendall, vhu wor
shiped the devil Jnn.i I tried to explain
that least of nil men lu the world did we
woisblp .lana. who had hem hunting for us
for hums, but the) would not listen.
"V011 are spies of Slmb.i's. the smell of
lana Is upon jou" (this may have been
trim enough), they yelled, nddlng: "We
will kill oti. whlte-facfd goat. We will
kill )ou, little ellow monkey, for none
who aro not enemies minis heie from the
land of the Bkuk Kmdah. '
"Kill us then," 1 answered, "and bring
tho curse of the Child upon you Bring
lamine, bring hall, bring war!"
These wolds weie. I think, well chosen;
nt nnv 1 nte they Induced 11 pause In their
murderous Intentions, For a while they
hesitated, all taking together nt mice At
last the advocates of violence appeared to
get lb" upper hand, and once mote a num
ber of the men began to dance about us,
waving their spears and ujlng out Hint
we must die who caine fioni the Black
Kendall.
I sat down upon the groupd, for I wasi
so exhausted that at the timo 1 urn not
gieattj onto whether I died or lived, while
Huns "diew Ills knife nnd stood over inc.
cm sing them as be had cursed at Jana. By
slow degrees they diew ueaier and nearer.
I watched them with .1 kind of Idle
curlositj-. believing that the moment when
they came within actual spoai-thiust would
bo our last. but. as I have said not greatly
earing because of my mental and physical
exhaustion
I had nheadv closul my cjes that I
might not see the Hash of the falling steel,
when an exclamation fiom Hans caused nm
ti open Ihein again Following the lino of
tho knife with which be pointed, I per
ctlved a troop of men 011 camels emerging
from the gates of the village at full speed.

dreamed a long nnd vorj-. troubled
di cam com rinlng nil sorts of curious things
which I cannot remember. At last t opened
my cjes and observed that 1 laj on a low
bed liilsed about three Inches above the
lloor. In an Eastern-looking loom. large nnd
cool It had window places lu It but no
windows, only grass mats hung upon n

on a rough, wooded hinge, or rather pin,
that euahlfii the ilirt.llli to be tinned back
against the wall. ,
Through pne of these window- places I
saw- at 11 little dlstanco tho slope of tlm
forest-covered hill, which icminded mo of
something to do with a child for the life
of ine 1 could not lemember what As I
lay wondering over tho matter I heard a
shutlllng stiji which I recognled. and, tinn
ing, saw Huns twiddling a new hat mado
of straw in Ills fingers.
"Hans," 1 said, "where did vou get that
new hat?"
They gave It me here. Bans." ho nn

Then I did reinember more or less, while
Hans continued to twiddle tlm hat I beg

fidgeted me, and then Inquired whero wo

In the Town of the Child, Bass, where
I Iny lanlcil vou after you had Eceined to
illc down jondei 1
" very nice town whero there Is plenty
to tat. though having been usleep tor thice
days, vou have had nothing excert n, llttlo
nilik and soup, which was poured down your
throat with a spoon wbenever you seemed
to half wake up for 11 little while"
"I was tired and wanted 11 long rest,
Hans, and now I feel hungry Tell me. nro
tho Imil und llen.i here also, or were they
killed after nil""
"Yes, Baas they aro here safe enough,
and so aic all our goods Thej- were both
with Haiut when he saved us down by the
village yonder, but vou went to sleep nnd
did not see them Thev havo been nursing
jou over since. Baas"
,Iii.t then Siv.ige himself entered, carrv
Ing some soup upon a wooden tiny and
looking almost as smart as bo used to do
at ltagnall Casile
"Hood day, sir." lie said In his best prnfes
slnn.il manner. "Verv glad to see jou back
with us, sir. and getting well, I trust, es
pecially after we had given you nml Mr.
HaiiHUiP ns dead "
I thanked him and ill. ink the soup, nsk
Ing him t" cook me something more sub
stantial us I was starving, which he de
parted to do Then t sent Hans to Jind
Lord ltagnall. who It appeared wis out
walking In the town. No sooner bail thej
gone than Ilarut entered, looking more dlg
ullled than ever and. bowing gi av el) A seat
id himself upon the mat In the eastern
fashion.
"Some stiong spirit must go vvltl you
Lord MacumaiEiiiia." ho said, "that you
should llvn today, after wo were smo that
jou had been slain"
"That's whero you made a mistake.
Your nuigk was not of murh service to
vou tbeie friend Harut "
"Yet my magic, ns you call It. though
I havo none, was of some service after all
Mntunuuniin As it ihauced I had 110 op
pot tunlty of hic.ithiug in the wisdom of
the Child for two ilajs from the hour of
our. arrlvnl here, because 1 was hurt on
the knee in the light and so weary that I
could not travel up the mountain and seek
light from the eyes of the Child On tho
third da), however. 1 went and the Oiacle
told me nil Then I descended swiftly,
gathered mm nnd 1 cached those fools In
time to keep you fiom harm. They have
paid for what thev did, Lord"
'I nm sony, Harm, for they knew no
better, and, Ilarut, nlthough 1 saved in.v
self. or lather Hans saved me. wo have left
)our brother behind, and with him the
others "
"I know. Jana was ton strong foe them :
vou nnd jour servant alono could prevail
against him "
"Not so, Harut. He prevailed against
us; all wo could do was lo Injure his eye
and tho tip of his trunk and escape from
him "
"Which Is more than any others have
done for ninny geneiatlons, I,ord. But
doubtless ns the beginning. wns. so shall the
end be. .lana. I think, Is near his death
und through )ou "
"I don't know." I lepented "Who and
what la Jana"'
"Have I not told you that he Is an evil
spirit who Inhabits tho body of a huge
elephant?"
"Yes, and so did Marut ; but I think that
ho Is Just a huge elephant vvlh 11 ery bad
temper of his own. Still, whatever be Is,
he will take toino killing, nnd I don't want
to meet hint any more by that horrible
lake."
"Then you will meet him eluewhcre.
Eord. For If you do not go to look for
Jana, Jana will come to look for you who
have hurt hlnv so soiely
"Bemember that henceforth, wherever
go In nil this land, It may happen that you
you will meet Jana."

In my llfA I mself have seen him upon
tho Holy Mount, though how he came or
how- ho went none can tell "
"Why wns ho wandering there. Marut""
"Who enn say, Lord" Tell me why evil
w nailers ttuough the world nnd I will
answer vour question, only 1 repeat let
those who have harmed Jana bewaro of
Jana."
"And let Jana beware of ine If I can meet
him with 11 decent gun in my hand, for
I have 11 Bcore to settle with the beast.
Now lint tit. there s another mutter. Just
tieforc be wns hilled. Marut jour brother,
began to tell me something about the wife
of tho Lord Hagnnll I had no time to
listen to the end of his winds, though I
thought he said that she was upon )onder
Holy Mount. Hid I hear aright?"
Instantly Harm's face bernmo like that
of a stone Idol, Impenetrable, impassive.
"Either )ou misunderstood. Lord." he
answered, "or my hi other ravid in his
fear. Wherever she may be that beautiful
ladv Is not upon the Holy Mount, unless
there Is another Holy Mount In the Land of
Death Moreover, Lord as we are speak
ing of this- matter, let me tell you the for
ist upon that Mount must bo trodden by
none save the priests of the Child If
others set foot there they die. for it Is
w at, lied by a guardian mou- terrible e-ven
than Jana. nor Is ho the onlv one Ask me
nothing of Hint guardian, for I will not
answer, and. nbove all. If jmi or )our com-
Jdcs value life, let fliem not seek to look
upon him "
I'ndei standing that It was iiultn useless
to pursue this subject further 11 1 the mo
ment. I turned, to another, rem.uklng that
tho hailstorm vvhlih had smitten tho coun
ti of the Black Kendall was the worst that
I had ever experienced
"Yes." nnsweieil Harut, "so I have
learned That was the fltst of the curses
which the Child, through my mouth, prom
ised to Slmb.i nnd bis pcoplo If they mo
lested us upon our road The second, you
will remember, was famine, which for them
is near at hand, seeing that they have little
corn In store and none left to gather, and
that most of their tattlo are dead of tho
hall."
"If they have 110 corn while, ns I noted,
).m have plenty which the storm spared,
will not they, who aro so many In number
but near to starving, attack )ou and take
.vour coin, Ilarut?"
'Ceitalnly they will do so. Lord, and
then will fall the third curse, tho curse of
wnr All this was foreseen long ngo, Macu
inazan.i. nnd you nro hern to help us In
that war. Among )our goods j-ou have
many guns and much powder nnd lead.
You shall teach our people how to use those
guns. Hint with them we may destroy the
Blnck Kendall "
"I think not " I replied rpiletl)-. "I
came hero to kill n certain elephant and
to receive payim-nt for my service lu ivory,
not to fight tlie Black Kendall, of whom
1 have nliend) seen 1 nougli Moreover the
guns are not in.v property but that of the
Loid ltagnall, who perhaps will ask his
own priio for the ui-e of them "
