The bell on the Goatvllle town hall was striking three ns, Billy Bumpus climbed up the hill and met his wife on tho bridge. "Where are the soft bricks .you said you were going to bring mo for luncheon?" asked Mrs. Bumpus sternly. "You mean lunch, not luncheon," replied Billy, thinking fast. "You started from home to get soino soft bricks bricks that had been ruined on and here you are at :i o'clock In tho after noon wasting our time talking to a llsh when you should have been home three hours ago." "I have been learning things." said Billy. "If you will come homo I will learn you a few things," said Mm Bumpus, taking Illllv by the ear. "You can't Imrn anybody anything " "I can't, can't 17 Just you wait until we get home nnd I will learn you a few things." and Mrs. Bumpus gave Billy's ear un extra twist. "Ouch!" Billy kept right on. "I learned In the Goatvlllo Grammar School that I could teach you something, but couldn't learn you anything " "I know vou can't learn me anything, or teach me anything either. I want sumo luncheon and t want you to get It. When 1 am hungry I have no time to talk nbout grammar or learn or teach. Do you under stand that?" "Yestum." replied Billy meekly. "Just to show you what I am talking about, will you tell me what you learned?" "Leggo my ear. I can't think when some one's twisting my ear," said Billy. Mrs. Bumpus let go, but kept near her husband. "Go on," klia said. "I learned from Mrs. Hoptoad that a goat once starved to death and " "It wasn't you, was It?" "No," said Billy thoughtfully. "And I learned from the Little Fish that It ls better to be wlBe than otherwise." "I don't know what that last means," said Mis, Bumpus. "Of course you don't. You never went to the Goatvllle Grammar School. I did." "Did the Little Fish?" Hsked Mrs. Bumpus with a smilo. "But what does wise mean?" "Wise means knowing what not to say and otherwise means talking too much," said Billy proudly. Just then a truckloud of bricks passed and Billy looked at It longingly. "If you are WISE," suggested Mrs. Bum pus "you will follow that load and get me some bricks QUICK!" Billy started off after the truck, and Just as he got behind It there was a hissing noise and a loud explosion. THE WOHST BOY IN SCHOOL Dearest Children I had the pleasuro of speaking at a certain school the other day, and when I had finished the principal took me Into his office and showed me THE WORST BOY IN SCHOOL. He actually dared me to make tho boy better. Hera Is what I did: I was going to another school about a mllo away, and I Invited the boy to go wlth menb, I was not nfrald he would Bhoot me or stab me it never entered my head that he would do anything except what I wished him to do. When we arrived at the school, I was met by the president of the senior class, and I Introduced him to THE WORST BOY IN SCHOOL. He did not seem frightened In the lsast of course, I did not tell him anything abautjlie boy. for It did not con cern him whether the boy was (he worst or the best In school. ,,,"". . , Later I met the principal of the school.

I the 'famous shot, the renowned elephant hunter, hud four times missed this haystaW. of a brute from a distance of forty nriW. So gieiit was my shame I think I almost fainted. Thiough n kind of mlt 1 heanl unions ejaculations: "Great Heavens!" said ltagnall. "Allemagto!" remarked Hans "The Child help us." mutteied llarut. All tho rest of them stared at me n though t were a freak or a lunatic. Then somebody laughed nervously, and Immedi ately e erj body began to laugh. Even the distant army of the Bhu-k Kendall became convulsed with roais of unholy merriment, and I, Allan Quatermalu, was the center ot all this mocktry, till I felt as tliough I wero golrg mad. Suddenly the laugh'er f-eased. and once more Slmha the King begun to roar out something about "Jana tho Invinc ible and Invuliieriible." to which the White Kendall leplivd with cries of "Muglc!!" and "llewltclied1 Bewitched'." "Yes," yelled Slmba, "no bullet can touch Jana the god, not cen those of the white lord who was hi ought from afar to kill him." Hans leaped on to the top of the wall, where he danced up and down like an in toxicated monkey, and senamed: "Then where ls .Tana's left eye? Did not mv bullet put it out like a lamp? U Jana ls Invulnerable, why did my bullet put out blB left eye?" linns reaed from dancing on tho wall, and. steadying himself, lifted the little llllo lutombl, shouting: "Let us see whether, after all, this beast Is a god or an elephant." Then he touched the trigger, and, simul taneously with the report. 1 heanl tho bul let clap and saw blood appear im Jana's hide. Just by that vciy spot over the heart at'whlch 1 had aimed without result. (It course, tho stift ball driven from a small bore rllle with a light chat go of powder was far too weak to penetrate to thu vitals. Probably It did not do much moro than pierce through the skin and an Inch or two of Mesh behind It. Still, its effects upon this "Invulnerable" god weie of a maiked order. He whipped around; he lifted his trunk and screamed with lage nnd pain. Then oft he lumbeied back towatd his own people, at such a pace that the attendants who hold the chains on either side or lilm were thrown over and fenced to leavu go of him. while the king nnd the priest upon his back could only leluln their seats by clinging to tho chair and the rope about his neck. The lesult wns satisfactory so far as the dispelling of magical Illusions went, but It left me in a worse position than before, Blnco now it became evident that what had protected Jana from my bullets was nothing moru supeinatuial than my own lack or skill. Oh! never In my life did I drink of such a cup of humiliation as It was my lot to drain to tho dregs In this most unhappy hour. Almost did I liopo that 1 might be killed at once. And yet, and yet, how was It posslblo that with all my skill I should have missed this towering mountain of Mesh four times in succession? The question Is one to which I have uexer discovered any nnswer, espe cially as Hans hit It easily enough, which at the time I wished liemtlly ho had not done, since his success only served to em phasise my miserable failure. Fortunately, Just then a diversion occurred which freed my unhappy solf from further public at tention. With a shout and a roar the great army of the Black Kendall woke Into life. Tho advance had begun. CIIAPTIlIt XIX Allan -i ON THEY came, slowly and steadily, pre ceded by a cloud of skirmishers a thou sand or moro of these who kept ns open an order as the narrow ground would allow and carried each of them a bundle of throw ing spears arranged In loops or sockets at the back of the shield. When these men were about n hundred yards away we opened fire and killed a great number ot them, also some Of tho marshaled tioops behind. But this did not stop them In the least, for what could fifty lilies do against a horde of brave barbarians who, it seemed, had no fear of death? Presently their spears were falling among us and a few casualties began to occur, not many because of the protecting wall, but still some. Agnln and again we loaded and fired, sweeping away those In front ot us, but always others came to take their places, Finally, at some word MONEY WORKS WONDERS mam r ? , r HBH - X' -v iiiAv I, ' iiA'iiHsiU t'oniiMny UfprlnlMt tiy upeclnl nrranminpnt. th' job this sort o' thiiiR couldn't of command these light skliinlshers nn Islieil. except thnvo who weie dead or wounded, taking shelter behind the ndvanc Ing regiments which now were within fifty yards ot us Then, after a momentary pauw another command was shouted out and tho first regi ment chatged In lluee solid ranks. We fired a volley point-blank Into them nnd. us It was hopeless for llfty men to w!thtnnd such an onslaught, bolted during the temporary con fusion that ensued, taking leruge, as It had been arranged that wo should do. at a point of nntagii fuitber down the lln or fortifications, whence we maintained our galling fire. Now It waa that the main body of White Kendall came Into action under, the lead ership of itagnall nnd llarut. Tim enemy scrambled over the first wall, which we had Just vacated, to find themselves In u netwotk of other walls held by our spearsmrn In a narrow placo where num bers gave no gtent advantage. Hero tho fighting was terrible and tho loss of tho attackers gieat, for always as they carried ono intrenchment thev found another a few yards in front or them, out of which the defenders could only bo driven ut much cost of life. Two hours or mure the battle went on thus. In spitn of the desperate teslstnnce which vve offered, the multitude of the Black Kendall, who 1 must say fought magnificently, sUmned wall afler wall, leaving hundieds of dead and wounded to maik their dlfllcult pi ogress Meanwhile I and my rlllemou rained bullets on them from eel tain positions which wo had se lected befoiehaud, until nt length our am munition began to tun low. At half-past eight In tho morning we wen, driven back over the open ground to our last Intrenchment, a very strong one Just outside of the eastern gate of the tem plu which, It will bo lemembcred. was set ill a tunnel .pierced through thu natural lava rock. Thrice did tho Black Kendall ronih on and thrlco wo beat them off, till tlie ditch In fiont of tho wall was "almost full ot fallen. As fast us they climbed CAT! ''a- Oopyrlnht T.I ft rubliidiluK I'uinr-any. "For two doR biscuits I'd give this rope a good jerk!" to thu top of it the White Kendall thrust them through with their long spears, or we shot them with our rllles, the nature of the ground being such that only a direct fiontal attack was possible. In the end they diew back sullenly, hav ing, as wo hoped, given up the assault As It turned out, this was not so. They wero only resting and waiting for tho ar rival ot their reserve. It c.uno up shouting and singing a war-song, two thousand strong or more and presently once more they charged like a flood of water. Wo beat them back. They re-formed and charged a second tlmo and wo beat them back. Then they took another counsel. Stand ing among tho dead and dying at the base ot tho wall, which was built of loose stones and eaith, where we could not easily get at them because of the showers of spears which wero mined at any one who showed himself, they began to undermine it, lev ering out tho bottom stones with stakes and battering them with poles. In live minutes a breach appeared, through which they poured tumultously. It was hopeless to withstand that onslaught of so vast a number. Fighting desperately, wo wete driven down the tunnel and through tho doors that were opened to us into the first court of tho temple. By furious effoits wo managed to close these doors nnd block them with stones and earth. But this did not avail us long, for. bilnglng brushwood and dry grass, they built a tire against them that soon caught' the thick ccdur wood of which, they were made. While they burned we consulted together. Further letreat seemed Impossible, since the second court of the temple, save for n narrow passage, was filled with corn which allowed no room for lighting, while behind It were gathered all the women and children, mote than two thousand of them. Here, or nowhere, we must make our stand and coilquer or die. Up Jo this time, compared with that which we had Inflicted Upon, the Black Ken dall, "of whom a couple of thousand or more had fallen, our loss was compara tively slight, say two hundred killed and as many more wounded. Most of such ot the latter as could not walk we had mam aged to carry Into the first court of the teoipie, laying them close against the clois ter walls, whence they watched us In a srUxly ring. This left us about sixteen hundred able bodied men or many more than we could employ with effect In that narrow place. Therefore we determined to act upon a plan which we had already designed In case such an emergency a this should arise. About three hundred and fifty of th beat men were to remain to defend th temple till alt wer slain. The rest, to th number of over a thousand, were to with draw through the second court and th gates beyond to the camp of the Vernon and children. Thes they wtr tc conduct bv rt tisthi that wer known to then! to where th camel were kraaled, and mounting many,M,posioi yi them. on . 1917 It was a dreadful determination, but wo had no choice. "What .of my wife?" Itagnalt aoked hoarsely. "While the temple stands she must re main In the temple," replied llarut, "Hut xv lieu all Is lost. If I have fallen, do you, White !,ord, go to the sanctuary xvlth those who remain and take her njid the Ivory Child and flee after the others. Only I lay this charge on you under pain of the curso of Heaxen, that you do not suffer the Ivory Child to full Into the hands of the Black Kendah. First must you burn It with fire or grind it to dust with stones. Moreoxer, I gixo this commnnd to all In caso the priests In charge of It should fall me, that they set flame to the brushwood that Is built up with the stacks of corn. so that nfter fill, tlioso of our enemies who' escape tho spear may die of famine." instantly and without murMurliig. for never did I see more perfect discipline than that which prevailed among "these poor people, the oiders given by Hatut. who In nddltlon to his ofllce, ns head-priest was a kind of president or what whs In fact a lepubllc. were put III the way of execution. Company by company the men appointed to escort tho women nnd children departed tluougli the gateway of the second court, each company turning In tho gateway to s.ilnte us who remained, by rnlslng their spcats, till all were gone. Then we, the three hundred and fifty who were left, marshaled ourselves as the Greeks may have donn in tlie Pass of Tlicrmop.xl.ie. First stood I nnd my riflemen, to whom all tho remaining ammunition wns set veil out ; It amounted to right rounds per man. Then, ranged arrows tho coiitt In four lines, came tho speatmeu, armed xxlth lances nnd swords, under tho immediate command of Harm. Behind these, near the gate of the second court so Hint at tho last they might attempt the rescno of the priestess, weie fitly picked men coptnlned by Itagnall, who, I foigot to shv. was wounded 111 two places, though not badly, having recolxed a spear thrust In tlie left shoulder and a sword cut on the left thigh during Ills desperate defense of the Intrenchment. By the time that all was ready and every man had been given to drink from tho great Jais of water which stood along tho walls, the masslx-o wooden doors began to burn thiough. though this did not happen for quite half an hour nfter tho enemy had begun to attempt to fire them. i ney roll at length beneath the battering ot poles, leaving only the mourn! of earth and stones which we had piled up In tlie gateway after the closing of the doors. Tills the Black Kendah. who had raked out the burning embers, set themselves to dig away with hands and sticks and spears, a task that was made very dlllleult to them by about it score ot our people, who slabbed nt them with their long lances or dashed them down with btones. killing and dis abling many. But always the dead and Mounded were dragged off, while others look their places, so that nt last the gate way xvaa 'virtually cleared. Then I called back tho spearmen, who passed Into tlie tanks behind us and made ready to play my pan. 1 had not long to xvult. With a rush nnd a roar a great company of tho Black Ken dall charged the gateway. Just as they be gan to emerge Into tlie court I gave the word to fire, sending fifty Snider bullets tearing Into them from a distance of a few yards. They fell In a heap; they fell like corn before tho scythe, not a man won through. Quickly wo reloaded and waited for tho next rush. In due course It came and the dreadful scene repeated Itself. Now tlie, gateway nnd tlie tunnel beyond were so choked with fallen men that the enemy must drag these out before they could charge any more. It was done under the nib of myself, Hans and a few picked Bhots somehow It was done. Onco moro they charged, and onco more wero mown down. So It went on till our last cartridge: was spent, for never did I seo more magnificent courage, than xvns shown by those Black Kendah In tho face of terrific loss. Then my people threw aside their useless rllles and. arming them selves with spears and swords, fell bnck to rest, leaving llarut and his company to tako their place For half an hour or moro raged that awful struggle, since the spot being so narrow, charge as they xvould, the Black Kendah could not win through the spears of despairing warriors defending their lives and tho sanctuary of their god. Nor, tlie encircling cliffs being so sheer, could they get round any other way. At length tho enemy drew back as though defeated, giving us time to drag aside our dead and wounded and drink more water, for tlie heat in tho place was now over whelming. We hoped agulnst hope that they had given up the attack. But this was far from the case; they were but making a new plan. Suddenly In the gateway thero appeared tho huge bulk of tlin elephant Jana, rush ing forward at speed and belnt; urged on by men who pricked It with spears behind. It swept through tlie defenders as though they wero but dry grass, battering those In front of It with Its great trunk, from which swung tho Iron balls that crushed all on whom they fell, and paying no more heed to the lance thrusts than It might have done to the biles of gnats. On It came, trumpeting and trampling, and after It In a flood flowed tho Black Kendall, upon whom our spearmen flung themselves from either side. At the time I, folloxved by Hans, xvas Just returning from spenklng with Ragnall nt the gato of the second court, A little while before I had tetlred exhausted from tho flerco nnd fearful fighting, whereon ho took my place and repelled several of the Black Kendah charges, Including the last, In thla fray ho received a further Injury, a knock on tho head from a stick or stone which stunned him for n fow minutes, whereon some of our people had carried him oft and set him on tho ground with his back against ono ot the pillars of tho second gate. Being told that ho was hurt I ran to see what was the matter. Finding to my Joy that It xvas nothing very serious, I -was hurrying to the front again when I looked up and saw that devil Jana charging straight toward me, the throng of armed men parting on each sldo of him, as rough water does beforo the leaping prow of a storm-drlxen ship.
