Farmer Smith's Column GETTING A NEW PIANO My Dear Children I spoke to a number of children the other day on tho subject of music, and the music teacher told me that the school was badly In need of a new piano, and I asked thn children this question: "You want a hew piano ; where do you get It first?" Many of them said, "Tho store." I i lien told them of the little boy who KN'EW ho would get a spanking when he g't homo and explained to them carefully that the little boy got a spanking In his wn head bofor ho got one at home. Tho nolnt Is. tf you want a now piano, the placo to get It 1b IN" YOUR OWN' THOUGHTS. Fix firmly on the fact that you aro going to have a new plnno.

RIDER HAGGARD Author ot ".UflHr." "Kliio Solomon's Mints," "ghr. CIIAI'TUn XIX (Continued) mO TELL tho truth, althouuli 1 was never X fond of unnecessary risks. I rejoiced at the fight. Not even all tho excitement of that hideous nnd prolonged battle had ob literated from my mind tho burning sense of ehamo at tho exhibition which I had made of myeelf by missing this beast with four barrels nt forty yards. Now, thought I to myself with a kind of exultant thrill, now. Jana, I will wipe out both my dlsgrarn and you. This tlmo there shall be no mistake, or If thero Is let It bo my last. On thundered Jana, whirling the Iron balls among tho soldiers, who fled to right and left, leaving a clear path between me nnd hlni. To mnke qulto sure of things, for I was trembling rt llttlo with fatlguo nnd somewhat sick from the continuous sight of bloodshed. I knelt down upon my right knee, using the other ns a prop to my left elbow, and since I could not make certain of a heart shot becauso of tho continual whirling of the huge trunk, got tho sight of my blg gamo rlllo dead on to tho beast where thn throat Join tho chest. I hoped that the heavy conical bullet would either pierce through to tho spine or cut ono of the huge arteries In tho neck, or at least that tho tremendous shock of Its Impact would bring him down. At twenty paces I fired nnd hit not Jana but tho lamo priest who was filling tho oHlon of mahout, perched upon his shoulders manv feet above the point nt which I had aimed Yes ! I had hit him In tho head, which was shattered llko an eggshell, so that ho fell lifeless to tho ground. In perfect desperation again 1 aimed, and fired when Jana was not more than thirty feet away. This tlmo tho bullet must haxo gone wido to tho loft, for I saw u chip fly from the end of the animal's broken nnd deformed tusk, which struck out ln that direction several foot clear of Its side. Then I gave up all hope. There was no tlmo to gain my feet and escape; indeed, 1 did not wish to do so, who felt that thero aro some failures which can only bp ab solved by death. I Just knelt there, waiting for tho end. In nn Instant the gigantic creature was almost nver me. I remember looking up nt It and thinking In a queer sort of a way perhaps It was somo ancestral memory that I was a little apelike child about to be Main by a primordial elephant thrice as big as any that now Inhabits tho earth. Then something appealed to happen which I only repeat to show how at such mo iiicnts nbsupl and impossible things seem real to ua. Tho reader may remember the strange dream which Hans hnd related to mo that morning. Onn incident of this fantasy was that he had met the spirit of tho Zulu lady Ma mecna. whom I knew In bygone years, nnd that she bado him tell me she would bo with mo In the battle, and that I was to look for her when death drew near to me nnd "Jana thundered on." for then, per chance. I should seo her. Well, no doubt In J-omo lightning flash ot thought the memory of those words oc curred to m at this Juncture, with the ridiculous result that my subjectlvo Intelli gence, If that be tho right term, actually created the scene which they described. As clearly, or perhaps more clearly than ever I saw anything else In my life, I appeared to behold tho beautiful Mameena In her fur cloak and her blue beads, stand ing between Jana and myself with her arms folded upon her bieast and looking exactly as sho did In tho tiemendous moment of her death before King Panda. I even noted how tho faint breeze stirred a loose end of her outspread hair and how tho sunlight caught a particular point of a copper ban glo on her upper arm. So she stood, or rather seemed to stand, qulto still; nnd, ns It happened, nt that moment that giant Jana. either because Rnmothlnc had frightened him, or perhaps. owing to the shock of my bullet striking on his tusk having Jarred tho brain, suddenly pulled up, sliding a little with all his four feet together, till I thought ho was going to sit down llko a performing ele phant. Thei; :t appeared to me as though Mameena turned round very slowly, bent to ward me, whispering Mimethlng which I could not hear, although her lips moved, looked nt me sweetly with those wonderful eyes of hers and vanished away. A fraction of a second later all this vis ion had gone and something that was no vision took Its place. Jnna had recovered himself and was at mo again with open mouth and lifted trunk 1 heaid a Dutch curse and saw a little yellow form; Baw Hans for It was he thrust the barrels of my second elephant rlllo almost into that red cave of a mouth, which, however, they could not reach, nnd lire, first one bnrrel, then the other. Another moment, and tho mighty trunk had wrapped Itself about Hans and hurled him through the air, to fall on his head and arms thirty or forty feet away. Jana staggered as though he, too, were about to fall ; recovered himself ; swerved to the right, perhaps to follow Hans, stumbled on a few paces, missing mo altogether, then again came to a standstill. I wriggled my self round and, seated on the pavement of the court, watched what followed, and glad nm I that I wns able to do so, for never shall I behold such another sceno. First I saw Ragnnll run up with a rifle and fire two barrels at the brute's head, of which he took no notice whatsoever. Then I saw his wife, who In this Innd was known ns tho Guardian of tho Child, issuing from the portals of the second court, dressed In her goddess robes, wearing the cap of bird's feathers, attended by tho two "BRUSSELS SPROUTS" ' 7 'jj&r jMttuiitf i"a, mi MEETS THE HEROINE Copyrlnht Life Publishing' rt priestesses, also dressed ns goddesses, as wo had seoen her on tho morning of sacrifice, nnd holding In front of her the statue of tho Ivory Child. On sho came quietly, her wide, empty eyes fixed upon Jana. As sho ndvanced the mon ster seemed to grow uneasy. Turning his head, he lifted his trunk nnd thrust It along his back until It gripped thn ankle of tho King Slmba, who all this while was seated thero In- his chair making no movement. With n slow, steady pull ho dragged Slmha from the chair so thnt he fell upon tho ground near his left foreleg. Next, very composedly ho wound his trunk about tho body of tho helpless man, whoso horrified eyes I can seo to this day. and began to whirl him round and round In tho nlr, gently nt first but with a motion that grew ever inoro rapid, until the bright chains on tho victim's breast (lashed ln the sunlight like a silver wheel. Then ho hurled him to tho ground, where tho poor king lay a moro shattered pulp that had been human. Now the priestess was standing In front of the beast god, apparently quite without fear, though her two attendants had fallen back Ragnnll sprnng forward as though to drag her nway. but a doaen men leapt on to him nnd held him fast, either to savo his life or for somo secret reason of their own which 1 never learned. Jana looked down at her and she looked up nt Jana. Then ho screamed furiously and, shooting out his trunk, snatched tho Ivory Child from her hands, whirled It round ns ho had whirled Slmba. and at last dashed Slmba, so that Its substance, grown dnshed It to tho stone pacmcnt an he had brittle In tho passage of tho nges, shattered into 10.000 fragments At this sight a great groan went up from the men of tho Whlto Kendah, the women dressed as goddesses shrieked nnd tore their robes, and Ilarut, who stood near, fell down In a fit or fnlnt. Once more Jnna screamed. Then slowly he knolt down, beat his trunk nnd the scattering metal balls upon the ground thrice, ns though he wero making obeisance to tho beautiful priestess who stood before him. shivered throughout his mighty bulk, and rolled over dead ! Tho fighting ceased. The Illack Kendall, who all this while had been pressing into the couit nr the temple, saw and stood stupefied. It wns ns though In tho presence of events to them so pregnant and terrible men could no longer lift their swords In war. A vnlro called: "Tho god Is dead! Tho king Is dead ! Jana has slain Slmba and has himself been slain. Shattered Is tho Child j Bpllt Is the hlood of Jana! Fly. People of tho Black Kendah; fly. for the gods are dead nnd your land Is a land of ghosts!" From every sldn wns thta wall .hne,l. "Fly. Peoplo of tho Black Kendah, tor thti gods aro dead !" They turned; they sped nway like shad ows, carrying their wounded with them, nor did nny nttempt to stay them. Thirty minutes later, savo for some desperately hurt or dying men. not one of them was left In the temple or the pass beyond. They had all gone, leaving none but the dead be hind them. The fight wns finished. The fight that had seemed lost was won 1 I drugged myself from tho ground. As I gained my tottering feet, for now that all was over I felt as If I wero made of running water, I saw the men who held Ragnnll loose their grip of him. He sprang to whero his wife was nnd stood before her as though confused, much ns Jana had stood, Jana against whoso head ho rested, his left hand holding to th brute's gigantic .tusk, for I think that he nlso was weak with toll, terror, loss of blood and emotion. "Luna," ho gasped, "Luna!" Leaning "on the shoulder of a Kendah man, I drew nearer to see what passed be tween them for my curiosity overcame mv falntness. For quite a long while she rtared at him, till suddenly her eyes began to change. It was as though a soul were aris ing In their emptiness as the moon arises In the quiet evening sky, giving them light and life. At length she spoke In a slow, hesi tating voice, tho tones of which I remem bered well enough, saying: "Oh! George, that dreadful brute,". and sho pointed to the dead elephant, "has killed our baby. Look at It! Look at It! We must bo everything to each other now, dear, ns wo were before It came unless God sends us another." Then sho burst Into a flood of wonnino- and fell Into his arms, after which I turned away. So, to their honor bo It said, did the Kendah, leaving the pair alone behind the bulk of tho dead Jana. Here I may state two things: first, that Lady Ragnall, whose bodily health had remained perfect throughout, entirely re covered her season from that moment. It was as though on the shattering of the Ivory Child some spell had been lifted off her. What this Bpell may have been I am quite unable to explain, but I presume that In a dim and unknown way Bhe connected this effigy with her own loet Infant and that while she held and tended It her in tellect remained in abeyance. If so, she must also have connected Its destruction with the death of her own child which, strangely enough. It will be remembered, was likewise killed by an elephant. The first death that occurred In her presence took away her reason, tho second Beemlng death, which also occurred In her presence, brought It back again 1 Secondly, from the moment of the de struction of her boy in the streets of the English country town to that of the shat tering of the Ivory Child In Central Africa her memory was an utter blank, with one exception. This exception was a dream which a few days later she narrated to Ragnall In my presence. That dream was that she had Been hlra and Savage Bleeping together In a native house one night. In view of a certain Incident recorded In this history I leave the reader to draw his own conclusion as to this curious Incident. I have none to offer, or )f I hava I, prefer to keep It to myself. Leaving Ragnall and his wife, I stag gered off to look for Hana and found htm lying senseless nar the north wall of the temple. Evidently he was beyond human help, for Jana seemed to have crushed moat of hla ribs In his Iron trunk. We carried htm to one of the priest's cells and there I watched him till the end,, which came at sundown. Before he died he became quite conscious and talked with me a good deal. "Don't grieve about missing Jana; Baas." he said, "for it wasn't you who mtaaed him hut some devil that turned your bullets. You see, Baas, he was bewitched a gal nit vn, ihlta man. When you look at him cioseiy you will una tnai ina ru jeia -. - '..... -fayuk& I closely you will find that the Cord Igeia ,..j. AND Company, rteprlnteil by spi-clM arrangement. this proved to be the case), "and when you managed to hit the tip of his tusk with the lest ball tho magic was wearing oft him, that's all, But, Baas, those Black Ken dah wizards forgot to bewitch him against the llttlo yellow man. of whom they took no account. So I hit him sure enough every time I fired nt him. and 1 hope he liked the tasto of my bullets In that great mouth nt his. He knew who had sent them there very well. That's why he let you alone and made for me. as I had hoped he would. Oht Baas, I dlo happy, qulto happy, since I havo killed Jana nnd ho caught me nnd not you, me who was nearly finished any how. For, Baas, though I didn't say any thing about It, a thrown pear struck my groin when I went down among the Black Kendall this morning. It was only a small cut, which bled llttlo, but ns tho lighting went on something gave way nnd my In side began to come through It, though I tied It up with n bit of cloth, which of coureo means death In a day or two." (Sub- sequent examination showed me that Hans's story of this wound was perfectly true. He could not have lived for very long.) "Baas," he went nn nfter a pause, "no doubt I shall meet that Zulu lady Mameena tonight. Tell me, Is she really entitled to tho royal salute? Because If not, when I nm as much n spook as sho Is I will not give It to her again. She never gave me my titles, which nro good ones In their way. so why should 1 give her the Bayete. unless It Is hers by right of hlood, although I am only a little 'yellow dog,' as she choso to call me?" As this rldloulous point seemed to weigh upon his mind I told him that Mameena was not even of royal blond nnd In no wise entitled to tho salute of kings. "Ah!" ho said with a feeble grin, "then now I shall know how to deal with her. es pecially ns sho cannot pretend that I did not play my part In the battle, ns she bade nle do. Did you see anything of her when Jana charged. Baas, becauso I thought I did?" "I seemed to seo something, but no doubt It wns only a fancy." "A fancy? Explnln to me. Baas, where truths end nnd fancies begin and whether what wo think nre fancies nro not some times the real truths. Once or twlco I have thought so of late, Baas." I could not nnswer this riddle, so I gave him some water which he nsked for Instead, and he continued: "Bans, have you nny message for the two Shining Ones, for her whoso name is holy and her sister, anod for the child of her whose name Is holy, tho Missln Marie, and for your reverend father, the Predlkant? If so, tell It quickly before my head grows too empty to hold the words." I will confess, however foolish It may seem, that I gave him certain messages, hut what they wero I shall not write down. Let them remain secret between mo and him. Yes, between me nnd him nnd perhaps those to whom they were to be delivered. For after all, In his own words, who can know exactly where fancies end nnd truths begin and whether at times fancies aro nqt the veritable truths In this universal mystery of which tho Individual life of each of us Is so small a part? Hans repeated what I had spoken to him word for word, ns a native does, repeated It twice over, after which he said ho knew it by heart and remained silent for a long while. Then he asked me to lift him up ln the doorway of tho celt so that he might look at the sun setting for tho last time, "for. Baas." he added, "I think I am going far beyond the sun." He stared at It for a while, remarking that from tho look of the sky there should be fine weather coming, "which will be good for your Journey toward the Black Water, Haas, with all that Ivory to carry." I answered that perhaps I should never get the Ivory from the graveyard of the elephants, ns tho Black Kendah might pre vent this. "No, no, Baas," ho replied, "now that Jana Is dead tho Black Kendah will go away. I know It, I know It!" & (CONTINUED TOMORROW.) Delaware Society of Cincinnati Elects WILMINGTON, Del.. Feb. 23.
