method in my apparent madness. Alf -
ter years of diligent searching and
prayerful meditation I ;have reached
a point where to me the entire subject
of education has -become one ,of come
neon ordinary horse -sense, devoid of
too much sentimentality, devoid of
too much, science, and .liberally sea-
soned with good ,humor and patience.
1 am gratelful for all that science has
taught us about feeding and about
fresh air and sifiisihine and teeth and
tonsils and hours Of sleep. Burt science
should stop at the door leading from
the nursery to the schoolroom and if,
perchance, it should enter the latter it
should not take itself so terribly seri-
ously. Abol e alt things, it should
learn to take ch'il'dren at nature's town
valuation, as the young of ju's t an-
other sort ,of mammal, not very differ-
ent from the young of any other
species and therefore to be treated as
such and not ars p'dteirti'al little gen-
iuses or the animated manifestations
of immortal souls which should be
reared as we rear a new species of
very delicate orchids, Kids are cab-
bages or sftdu'ld be. Orohidh are lovely

fered too match to he atble to forget.

completely and as thoroughly as the
miseries and hardships connected with
the picturesque stagecoach and the
even more picturesque .attd`even less
comfortable soiling 'vessel, We neer:not worry' our heads about the sort
of things to which I referred in the
first paragraphs .of this article. 'They
will never come back. But the inevit-
able reaction to the ,dull ,cruelty of the
old drilleecho'ols has dotted the land-

mothers who just shivered at the

A MIDNIGHT ADVENTURE

a tropecal forest at .noicbnight. The life
of the day has gone and left only sitar -
anew and silence behind, It is a dead
world,' full of ghostly suggestion, op-
pressive to senses and straining to••
nerves. Some time ago an adventure
,befell me„at such a ,•file and place,
which, though it reacted in a laugh, was
anion enough while it' lasted.
II was walking back alone to my
camp r in •tit Indian jungle, about mid-
night, by a ,p4ath seldom used by nat-
ives, none of whom went that way af-
ter nightfall, and only in the daytinhe
to scr•atc'h-a shallot•• hole in the, hill-
side and bury 'same unfot'buruate coolie
who was :generally dug up by hyenas
as soon as the funeral Party turned
its buck, Unpleasant things were said
of the neighborhood and any Tamils
would go many miles round sooner
than cross these haunted woodlands
by starlighlt, But it happened to be the
shortest way Bonne for me that 'event
ung, sor I fo'll'owed the gloomy track
little caring whether it was canny or
uncanny. e
'Profound dai^kness reigned in the
shelter of the trees through which the
yard -Wide path turned here and there.
`H'igh un in the stey rode a big moron,
whose rays, now and • then, came
through a gap in the leafy screen'ov-
enhead and made a rtehite patch on the
forest floor quite dazzling by compar-
ison saiith the obscurity around, The
silence was as profound as the dark-
ttess,' far dawn was yet far off and all
the forest creatures were asleep. Now
and then, the deep roar of a tiger
echoed in the distance, a bull-Erog
croaked in a stream, or an o'w'l (tooted
dis'mally frdm a dead branch some`
where ahead; but these sounds only
Made the intervening silence more
solid rand impressive.
Through this midnight gloom, in-
tent only on thoughts of supper in my
camp th.pee .nniles off, 1 strode along,
through inky shadows and across the
silvery patches, and thus presently I
came to an open part of the forest
where grecs were bigger and scattered
and more of moonlight consequently
carte dawn to the ground between
them. .
:Striding rapidly over one of these
:clearing -s, my ;path turned across to
where a giant fig bree, a great thaclk
pile of foliage Standing in the sur-
rounding ,brigh.tntess, blocked the
way. The path led right under its
branches. 1 was within thirty yard
of the trunk when, for the first time;
1f noticed something white reclining
against the stern. It was low clown on
the ground, looking curiously human
even at first glance, and I felt an in-
'stiuetive thrill pas.s tdn•ongh me such
as no common sight of the jungle
would have caused. It was .'not' the
outline of an an'inlal—1 knell' them all
too well—and 11 could not have been

vanviced along the ,path another few
yards. Proniptly, the stranger did the
same. There was me mistaking hint.
A fine anatomical study, he would
have been, a welcome addttion, as he
stood, to .the Royal College of Bur-
geotvs. We were so close now that I

spread feet on the dead grass, long

serried rib§s above, tilcely raduated in
size, like the scaffolding., of a house,

ly as he walked, and, to crowns ail,
the .masterpiece of skull on top, with
eyes in deep so'dkets that really seem-
ed Mercian. I even thought I caught a.
:flash of tight in them as he came
nearer and nearer. What was he' go-
ing to .do? Would he fight for the
path? Hlorw,d.o you fight a disembod-
ied bit of human scaffolding? You
cannot kill a skeleton. Was boldness
or flight tlie best policy iii such an
emergency? We took a step or two
closer together. ,A word of greeting
'was on. my lips when that strange
'thing stepped out into a row' of sil-
very moonlight and carte to a dead
:sto
lWp.e were within arms' reach now,
and the br•tght light ,brought him
more 'clearly 'into' detail than at any
time •before. I glared at hint, then
started, stared again hard, and, in a
flash, the truth burst icon tie. It
was no wandering spectre from the
cemetery yonder, no visitor from, an-
other world—brut a living man. I had
seem the same thing done before in
other circumstances. It was a native
fakir, or priest, on his wag to a fair
in the lowlands, ,and, to make his
sanctity more impressive,he had
painted every bone in his body white.
He wore nothing but a lo'in-cloth,
and, in the shadows, his dark skin
had been quite invisi'ble. N'obhing had
shown but that grim replica of a hu-
man structure. No w'onder I had been
deceived.
"odd! I said in Hindustani when
got my breath, "that's what you are
is it? What d,o 3011 want?" And the
thing, covering his face with his bony
hand's and bending low to bhe'ground
in salutation, replied that "he wanted
to bask in the sahi'b's magnificence'
"Well, I answered, "1 wish you
would 1101 bask at this time of night;
you might have frightened me. What
else do you want?" And the spectre,
salaaming again to the ground—the
queerest looking o'b'ject imaginable in
lois glittering pool of brightness with
black -shadows all about hili ana-
wered that "the 'sahib was the main-
