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. Then find out what
kind you aro going to get nnu see now
nulckly tho way opens lor you 10 gei a
now piano or anything elso which will
better you or your school.
The motner 01 R lumoaw wroio nna
asked me If I could get her a piano yes,
a piano for nothing.
I hear somo of you saying, "Some nerve!"
No, It was not "dome nerve," for I told
this mother to let me know If I could help
hnr in any way. nnd sho told me. TI1H
HIGHEST PRICE YOU CAN PAY FOR
ANYTHING IS TO ASIC FOR IT.
A firm gave away a lot of pianos which
were taken in exchange, and my frlond
got ono for her little girl through my recom
mendation. Nothing la Impossible If It Is really needed
to make somo ono happier or tho world

THE HERO
THE IVORY CHILD
Ry II. 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"

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 -. -

I closely you will find that the Cord Igeia

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!"
