Jin and Hla Brother.
The car remained at a standstill for
ao long a time that every one wondered
If something were wrong. It was soon
een however that a sturdy little ur-
chin was very tenderly helping a lame
child aboard and as the car moved on
hla cheery "goodby" called a smile to
the'cripple's wan face.
The latter seated himself so that he
could look out of the window and ev-
ery few minutes he waved bis band at
tome one on the street. The other peo-
ple in the car became curious and look-
ing out saw a little fellow running
along the sidewalk.
"Who is that?" asked a lady of the
lame boy.
"Why. that's Jim. was the proud re-
sponse. "Yes dear but who is Jim?
"Why Jim's my brother of course.'
By this time every one was listening
and smiling in sympathy.
"Oh. I see." said the lady; "that's
the boy that helped you on the car.
But why does be not ride with you?"
"Why" he said "we only had a
nickel and Jim said I must ride. You
see" he added after a pause "I can't
walk well but Jim. be cao run fine."
"See! What is this?" the lady said.
With eyes big with delight the child
caught up a 5 cent piece that bad
miraculously appeared In his torn little
trap that lay on the seat between the
lady and himself. And then with fran-
tic gestures he hailed Jim who board-
ed the car at the next corner.
It would be bard to say who was the
happiest on that car during the re-
mainder of the trip but surely the boys
thought that they were.

I HOW LITTLE MILLIE g
S FOUND THE CALF i
ararVd
One night when Jamie brought the
cows Lome lie said iliore was a little
calf down in the pasture with Old Jer-
sey. Then." said Jamie's father "I must
po right after supper aud bring them
both to the barn."
"Please let lue go with you. papa"
cried 3-year-old Millie. "I want to see
the little calf just as soon as I can."
So after supper Millie and her father
went off hand in band down the lane
past the cornfield and the potato patch
BHS SAW A LITTLK CALF RHJvSIXQ TOWARD
HER.
and the clover field to tbe blue grass
pasture. There down in a hollow next
to tbe oat stubble field was Old Jersey
quietly feediug.
"Where Is the little calf?" asked Mil-
lie. "I dou't know" said her father. "We
must look and find it."
So they went into the pasture and
looked into all the fence corners and
Into all the places where the grass
grew tall but no calf could they find.
"Old Jersey must have hidden it per-
haps down in the swamp" said Mil-
lie's father. "You and I will Just drive
her back there and perhaps she will
show us where It Is."
So they drove Old Jersey beyond the
pasture into the swamp. But Old Jer
sey only browsed among tbe bushes as
If to say. "My little baby is safe and I
am perfectly contented to feed down
bere If you wish me to."
It was now fast growing dark and
Millie's father said Old Jersey must be
driven to tbe barn and milked.
"We will bring her back to the pas-
ture iu the morning" be said "and by
that time I think she will be glad to go
and see her baby calf and we can fol
low her."
Millie was disappointed and she felt
too that the poor little calf must be
left aloLe ail night. She made up her
mind to get up very early the next
morning so as to be ready to go with
Old Jersey to the pasture. When 6he
went to bed. she thought about tbe lit-
tle calf and cried. "Tbe little bossy is
all alone down In tbe swamp" she sob-
bed. Then bcr mother came and told ber
the calf was probably fast asleep now
and they would find it all safe in the
morning.
The next morning Millie awoke very
early and lefore she could open her
eyes she said. "I want to go and find
the little calfie."
By the time the was dressed and bad
had some breakfast her father was
ready to go. They went out through
the barnyard and Millie's father open-
ed the gate to let Old Jersey go into the
lane. Then Old Jersey walked away
very fast and they walked fast too
and followed ber back to the pasture.
But instead of leading them straight to
her calf she only mooed a little and
then began feeding on some clover that
grew down in the hollow next to the
oat stubble field.
"Well daughter" said Millie's fa-
ther "I will leave you and Old Jersey
here while I go and look through the
swamp for the little calf. She must
be bidden down there somewhere. I
think Old Jersey doesn't mean that we
shall see her."
But Millie's father was bardly out of
sight when Old Jersey stopped feeding
and began to moo. The mooing sounded
different from tbe moos she made when
she came Into the pasture. At tbe same
moment Millie beard a sound off at tbe
farther end of the stubble field. She
looked and what should she see but a
little rc and white calf running to-
war I her!
When the calf reached tbe fence. It
ran along to an open place where Old
Jersey stood. Old Jersey bad gone to
that open place to wait as soon as she
saw the little calf coming.
It was a hnppy time for Millie as she
watched the little bossy get Its break-
fast of fresh milk and then lie down by
Old Jersey's side to rest.
Wben Millie's father came In sight
half an hour later quite discouraged
bis little daughter ran to meet blm.
"I have seen the Vttle calfie papa!"
she cried. "Old Jersey called her to
come just as soon as you bad gone.
She wasn't afraid to let me see ber lit-
tle calfle!"
And then they went all fout up the
lane to the barn the little red and
white calf trotting along by Old Jer-
sey's side and Old Jersey keeping a
sharp eye on Millie's father. George

THE STORY OF
h'
a
THE MAGIC BUGLES
js!..:
Two brothers dwelt together iu Den-
mark in that faraway time over which
the mystic veil of myth aud romance
hangs. They wore all alone In the
world and ail that they Inherited was
tbe little but iu which they lived and
this contained nothing more than a
few old chairs a table and an old carv-
ed chest.
I It was certainly a poor fortune that
bad been left them but one was good
hearted and kind and 60 be did not
complain. But the elder of the two
said:
"It is not enough for two to live on.
What think you. brother T'
"We might take our chance aud cast
lots" the younger replied.
"That were Indeed foolish! ?"Ince I
am tbe elder. It belongs by right to me.
0:1 BELT me:"
so you had better go forth and seek
your fortune and. as you are going it
were well to go at once."
"It Is good: I am uothing loath" the
younger brother said. So he departed
and to the end of his days tbe elder
brother remained In his poor estate
which was good enough for his hard
heart and his low mind.
But the young adventurer Journeyed
far away and all hls'days were filled
with dreaming of the future.
"I shall be a great hunter." was the
burden of his thoughts and ho hum-
med gay airs that he composed him-
self and a hunters life was the one of
which he sung.
He fell asleep by a hillside one soft
summer night as the moon rose over
the fields of rye. waving In the mellow
light. The sun had gone down uot
long before and In the dying day he
bad dreamed again of glory. So lightly
he slept all night that the changing
light of the moon as it rose higher and
higher bad nfTected his slumber and
flitting shadows moved over him and
seemed to touch him with tangible fin-
gers. It was a night full of mystery
and of light and elfish sounds and just
before morning he suddenly started out
of bis sleep with all his senses alert.
He listened and sure enough be beard
a weak voice crying:
"Help uie! Oh. help me!"
"Where and who are you?" be an-
swered. "Oh. help me!" the voice repeated
and. starting up. the youth beheld at
bis side a dwarf but so small that a
man's ha nil might have covered him
from view.
He was a queer looking creature
with the body of a child and a head
three times too big for his height.
When he saw that he had attracted the
stranger's attention he said:
"I live under this hill but a cow Is
standing before the door and I dare
not pass her. Will you drive her away
for me?"
"To le sure I will" the boy replied
"but let me take a look at you first
you queer creature."
"No no!" the gnome replied. "Day-
light will soon be here and If I stay to
see It I sliall be changed into a spider's
web or into night's dew! Oh be quick!"
Tbe lad followed tbe fleeing dwarf
around the foot of tbe bill and wben
be bad chased tbe cow away he sud-
denly beheld the hill lifted up on four
great pillars red as blood and under
the portal thus formed he saw stretch-
ing away gorgeous caverns glistening
with gems and precious metals.
"Come!" the gnome said. "I am the
son of tbe king of the elves. You may
have three wishes and we shall grant
them. But enter with me that my
father may thank you."
; As he followed the youth beheld a
countless number of little creatures
weaving golden veins into the rock or
packing It with other metal ore. Here
be saw some picking out diamonds and
other gems while other little workmen
piled them into barrows that were
wheeled away to the great under-
ground storehouses. Again be saw
vast numbers busy at the forges shap-
ing beautiful begemmed swords and
scabbards and here be saw guns and
horns and coats of mail such as yet tbe
world scarcely knew for the time was
yet far back beyond that that history
can touch upon and only the tales of
(the great old fathers can tell of the
wonders of those days.
So past all these beautiful treasures
be was led from ball to hall until the
great council chamber was reached.
And here was a splendor that words
cannot describe in the midst of which
was the little monarch master of all
the forces of the underworld com-
mander of the countless little workers
that dug and delved for him.
i Tbe king thanked the youth for his
son's timely deliverance aud asked him
to make known his three wishes.
J "They arc easily made" the boy said.
"All my life I have longed to tie a hunt-
;er. So pray give me a shotgun a bu-
gle and a horse."
lit p'
"They are yours" the king of the
dwarfs answered. And the lad was
glad to be led from his presence for
his great head on his little body his
blood red eyes and loug nose which
looked like a stick made him want to
laugh so that he feared to offend.
He was now conducted into a hall
filled with all kinds of weapons used
by hunters. There were guns as big
as cannons and some as small as a
man's finger; some were of pure gold
act with gems but all these the lad
passed by and took a rusty old gun
that hung upon the wall.
"This suits me" he said and his
guide smiled assent.
Next he was led to a great hall
full of horns and bugles. They too
were of all sizes and metals set "with
gems. But the boy took an old born
that matched the gun. Then he was
conducted to the stables. Here were
thousands of steeds white red black
and gray from every clime. Here was
the steed of Odin the eight footed
Slelpnir and even the one footed horse
that flies past the window in the dark
when one is about to die was there
with war steeds and knight's palfreys
and horses of labor. The lad took a
little shaggy gray mare and led her
away saying "This gentle creature
suits my estate."
No sooner had he said this than he
found himself in the fields where the
sun was just rising. It was not long
until he came near the king's palace
when suddenly he paused to listen to a
little bird that sang very sweetly. As
it ceased its morning lay It flew down
to the pommel of his saddle and said:
"When you sound your horn all
whom you wish must dance to Its tune
nor can they stop until you cease.
When you point your gun the being
must die at whom you aim. Go to the
king and tell him that you will release
his daughter and her letrothed prince
from the power of the hill dwarf king.
But use your own judgment as to how
you will accomplish it"
"Ha ha ha! So you wish to be the
king's hunter?"
A crowd had gathered round the lad
when he reached the palace yard and
laughed at his steed at his guu and bu-
gle and iudeed at himself who was so
assured of success. The king heard
the tumult and came to see the cause
and when he heard the lad offer to re-
store his daughter whose bonny face
be had not seen for six years he said:
"It is a grave tiling you offer but I
will trust you and go with you."
They set out at nightfall the king
promising a half of his kingdom and
an earl's title if the qtiest were suc-
cessful. And when they reached the
bill for the first time the youth blew a
blast upon his horn. Instantly the hill
was raised upou Its four red pillars
and out came the hideous king of the
dwarfs.
"What do you want?" he roared as
only a dwarf" when angry can roar.
But for answer lie heard the bugle
Hound and down lie tumbled upou bis
long uose and went dancing around on
it until the king could hardly stand
from laughing so.
"Stop! Stop!" cried the dwarf king.
"Give me back my tla tighter young
and beautiful and innocent as when
you stole her away!" the king cried.
"Oil she is my lark ami sings sweet-
ly to me" the dwarf king answered.
'Then dajiee on!" the king said as
the lad continued to play.
"Stop! Slop!" again called out the
almost breathless dwarf king. "I will
give her baek!"
Ami as the bugle ceased down flew
the little sweet singing bird aud in-
stantly was changed into the lieautiful
princess who was soon folded in her
father's anus.
"Ami now where is the prince?" the
lad said.
"This is he." said the princess laying
ber hand on the patieut gray mare.
"Give him back his own form" said
the boy.
"If you will give me the gun and tbe
bugle." the dwarf king answered.
"Take them!" said the boy.
As he got them the dwarf king quick-
ly disappeared the four pillars fell
"WHAT DO YOU WAST?"
with a crash as the bill again closed
and instead of the gray mare there
stood a handsome prince thanking bis
deliverer.
"Now he shall have half my kingdom
and shall be my chief adviser and we
shall not forget to make an carl of
Liui" the king said.
"But I have not the education to be
an earl." faltered the lad.
"Bosh!" the king said and the prince
aud princess said:
"Certainly certainlyj
So. after all. he must have become
an earl but be sure he did not forget
to become too. a great hunter aud all
those that had laughed at him died of
envy yes every one of them.
