and pushed it, but it did not, give. He
pushed hard, but all in vain. Then he
knew what had happened. Graham had
run with with his bag and Bob's. The
only thing he had was a revolver. He
knew that was no good, for if the jack
daws came he could not kill them all and
they would eat him. There was only
one thing he could do. He must climb
the cliff.
Running to the edge, he climbed,
down, down, down. All the way he
thought, if he could get down, he would
run to the entrance and play the same
trick on Graham that he had played on
him, but at this moment his thoughts
were interrupted by a loud "Caw, caw,
caw". The jackdaws were coming.
He turned around, and leaning on the
rock, he pointed his pistol at the on-coming
mob.
"Bang" !
Two jackdaws fell and the others
turned and flew away to their nests.
Putting his pistol back, he climbed
down. He wanted to ask Graham if he
would be friends and divide the money
between them. If he said "No", he
would pull out the rock and make him.
If he ran away he would chase himT and
if he couldn't climb down he would climb
back and get the other two jackdaws for
food.
Then he would climb to the top of the
big rock and try (some other place. All
this time he had (been climbing down the
side, and having nothing else to do, he
sang a song, running as follows :
"Off we go to take a ride, take a ride, take
a ride,
All the family jammed inside, Mercy what a
clatter!
Something breaks and out gets Pa.thenhe "
"Whew it's getting, steep and there's
only one foothold".
He descended gingerly.
"Ugh ! That's as far as I can get and
five feet more would make it so I could
jump."
Just then the only clutch gave way
and he almost fell. Now he could
neither go up or down, fifteen feet be
low, and no clutch above.

The Innocent Elephant.
Jumbo was so innocent, so guileless
and unsuspecting that if you told him
his tail was pn in front he would get
mixed and be tempted to believe it. He
was also absentminded.
"Why," said the monkey, "the other
day I told him that he was a fire engine
and that his trunk was the hose, and he
never knew the difference and squirted
water all overthe place till the keeper
came and pounded him."
"Let's have some fun with him now,"
suggested the parrot.
"By the way," said Jumbo absently,
"who is that peculiar looking fellow
with the straw sticking out of his chin
by the post over there?"
"Why, that's a 4Iey',Kube,' " said the
parrot.
"A hay Rube?" asked Jumbo. .
"Yes, a 'Hey Rube.' If you'd been in
the circus longer you'd have known
what a 'Hey, Rube,' is."
"Is it good to eat?" queried the inno
cent one.
"Most assuredly," said the monkey.
"He ought to be good," thought Jum
bo, "if he's hay."
He looked longingly at the jay with
the grassy whiskers.
"When no one is looking I will eat
him," he said.
By and by the chance came. Jumbo
stole up close to the farmer, who was
looking intently at the lady bareback
rider. Reaching out his long trunk he
wound it about the "Hey', Rube," threw
back his big head,opened his little mouth
and dropped the astonished "Rube"
into it.
But, oh, how different it seemed from
the hay he had been used to ! It kicked
and struggled ; it hurt his jaws ; it choked
him. He felt as the whale must when
he had Jonah inside. He must get rid of
it at once.
Around the tent he tore, looking for a
way out, while the feet of his novel din
ner dangled from his lips,and the people
scrambled to get out of the way. After
a deal of striving he broke through the
tent and managed to cough his unwilling
meal out on the green sod.
He never heard the end of his mistake.
All of which shows, Bill, that there are
different meanings to the same word.
