There waa once a Ttttle baby boy
born lu I'erala, who wa called Cyru.
HI grandfather, who wa n king,
thought that when the boy grew up he
would want to be a king hlmaelf. o
be hud the poor little bnby carried out
into the foreat and left there to be eat
en by the wild beaata. nut a kind
hearted woman waa looking after her
beep that day and he found the little
baby, which aha took home with her.
A Cyr.i grew Into boyhood he eemcd
In aome way different from the other
boy around him; and o, whenever
they played at aoldlera, It waa alwaya
Cyril who waa general, and whenever
they played at king, It waa alwaya
CyniH who wa king, and they were hi
KtihjeciN. One day, when he wa play
Iiik king, he led the other boyn out on
what wc nhould call an apHte-ateallng
expedition; only, Inatead of applea.they
were pomegranate. They went Into
the ground belonging lo a poor man,
picked a great many pomegranate and
ran away before the owner could catch
(hem. Hut the next morning the man
wont to their achoolmnaler nnd told
him how much fruit he had loat, beg
ging him to llml out which of tho boy
had iftolen It and lo punlali them m
verely. One by one the boya were call

ald he knew nothing about the pom

and waa aeked whether he knew any

aid at once. "Let mo be punlahed. I

They hopped ao high and they tripped

"And I think Ifg a pity," she orled.
"don't you;
That they can't imulbly hear.
You know there waa only one ear for

And that they loat when they enme to

The pattering ended, the dance wna

And the hall waa emptied, too;

sperm whole and threo killers which
he mw off tho Island of Formosa.
A largo bowhond roeo nonr tho ship,

One leaped high In the nlr and de

killer leaped nnd fell, n If lo heat tho
whale Into iiibmlMlou by n suoceaslnn

Tho sea around boiled like a, caldron.
The worried whale lifted lu huge head
out of the foaming water. On cither

leaping kilter oxhausted the great

devoured his tongue. As soon ns they
had finished tliolr feast tboy swam
away, loavlng the whale, helpless and
dying, n prey to tho whalemen.
On another occasion Mr. llullen Haw
a combat between n bull sperm whale

whale's llonks. trying to divert his nt

This terrlblo foe. elxtoon feet long,

The whale turned rapidly over, settled
In tbe water, caught tbe swordfl.h In
