As for myself, I never had a more fear- ful hour than that we suffered before the light of -morning came. I made no outcry, but clung to my old eompanion, trembling. He did not stir for a few minutes, and then we crept cautiously into the small hemlocks on one side of the opening. "Keep stilt", be. whispered. "Don't ;neve er speak." Presently we. beard a .reove in the brush, and then quick as a flash 'Uncle Eb lifted his rifle and fired in the direc- tion -of it.

His rifle was always flattered with that pame of 91' Trusty when it bad clone him a. good turn. Soon as the light had come clear he went out in the near woods with dog and rifle and beat around in the brush.. He returned shortly and said he had seen where they canie and went. ° "I'd a -killed, 'em deader 'n a door- nail," said he, laying down the old. rifle, "if they'd' a -co* angenearer." - Then we brought i'vfticie from the Tiver and had ottr breakfast. Fred went on allead of us when we started for the road, scurrying -through the brush on both sides of the trail as if be knew what was expected of him. He fleshed a number of partridges. and Uncle Eb killed one of them on olio wag to the road. We resumed our lournee 'Without any fuether adred tlley Bad Shilt their fangs together.-Efe moved little by little as the other tug- ged at him and in a moment was out of the trap and could feel the honest earth under him. ,:iNrben they had got home and told their adventure some,were for going to slay the beetle. "There is never a pit in the path duty," said the wise old chief of the lite tie black folks. "See that you keep in the straight road," "If our brother had. not left the straight road," said one who stood near, -"he that was in danger would have gone down into the pit." "It matters much," he answered, "whether it was Idndness er curiosity that led him out of the road. Bit he that follows a fool hath Much need ef wisdom, for if he save the fool do ye not see that he hath encouraged folly?" Of caurse I had then no proper un- derstanding of the thief's coultsel, not do I pretend even to remember it from that first telling, but the tale was told frequently In the course of my long ae. qualatande with. Uncle Eh. The diary of my good old friend Ileit before me -its I write, tbe leaves turned yellow and the entries dim. • I remem- ber how stern he grew of an evening when he took Out this sacred little rec- ord of our wanderings and began to write in it with his stub of a pencil He wrote slowly and read and reread each entry with great care as I held the torch for him, "Be still, boy; be still," he would say wh.en some press- ing interrogatory passed my lips, and then he would bend to his work while the point of his pencil bored farther into Metimpatience. Beginning here, I • shall quote a few entries rom the diary, as they cover with sufficient de- tail an uneventful period. of our jour- ney: .. "August the 20th. • Killed a patridge today. Btled it in the teapot for din- ner. Went good. 14 mild. "August the .21st. Seen a deer this enorning. Fred fit ag'in. Come near spine the wagon, fled to stop an' fix the ex. 10 mild, "August the 22nd. Clumb a tree tbis morning after es-IId grapes. Come near falling. Gin me a little crick in the back.

Terrible hot. .Lay ID the shade in the heat of the day.- Gyp- sies come an' camped by us tonight. 10 mild." I remember well the coming of those gypsies. We were fishing in eigiit of the road, and our fire was crackling on the smooth cropped shore. The big wagons of the gypsies—there were four of them, as red and beautiful as those of a circus caravan—halted about sun- down while the men came over a mo- ment to scan the field. - Presently they went back and turned their wagons into the siding and began to unhitch. Theri a lot of barefooted. children and women • under gay shawls overran the field, gathering wood and making ready for night. Meanwhile swarthy drivers took the horses to -water and tethered • them with long ropes so they could crop the grass of the roadside. _ One tall, bony man, with a face al- most as black as that of an Indian, brought a big iron pot and iset it up near the water. A big stew of beef bone, leeks and potatoes, began to cook shortly, and I rememberhtt had such a goodly snaelht was mindett to ask them for a taste of it. A little city of strange people had surrounded us of a sudden. Uncle .Eb thought of going on, but the night was coming fast, and there would be no moon, and we were footsore and hungry. Women and children came over to our fire after supper and made more of me than liked. (To. be continued.) ‘DANGEIIOUS DIARRTWEA.7,.. • "Guilty!" he said peesently, corning back with it sober face.- "Thet's a dead bee. No tellite hew many was de- pendent on nliri eewhat plans he hed. Must 'a' en him e. lot o' pleasure t' fly round in the sunlight, workin' every fair day. 'S all oyer now." He had a gloomy face for an hour aft- er that, and many d time in. thEl days that followed I, bealid him speak of the murdered bee. We lay restieg fiWhile after dinner and watching a big city of ants. Uncle El) told mehow they tilled the soil of Itbe mound every year end sowed their own kind of; grain—a smell white seed like rice—and reaped their harvest in the late mintier, storieg the crop in their dry cellars under ground. He told me also the story of tbe ant lion—a big beetle that lives in the jungles of the grain and the grass—bf which I remem- ber only an outline, more or less imper- • fect. Here it is in myedwp rewording of his tale: On a, bright day one, of the -little black folks went of on a long road in a great field of barley. He nvas going to another city of Ids own people to bring helpers for the 'merest. He came shortly to a sandy place where the bar- ley was thin and the hot sunlight lay near to the ground. In a little valley close by the road of the ants he saw a deep pit in the sand with steep sides: sloping to a point in the middle and as• : big oround as a biscuit • Now, the. ants are a curious people and go lookleg for things thet are new and wondeeful as. • they walk abroad, so they have much to tell worth heaeleg after a journey. The little traveler was young and had no fear, so he left the road and went down to the pit and peeped over the side of it. "What in the world is the meaning of this queer place?" bp asked himself as he ran around the Tina. In a moment be had stepped over, and the soft sand began to cave and. elide bendath him. Quick as a flash the pig lion beetle rose up in the center of the pit and hegan, to readh for him.

Red Rose Tea is composed of what are known in the trade as "high -grown" Ceylon and Indian teas. These teas are grown at high altitudes on the mountain slopes, where the tea bushes grow more slowly and are more. carefully cultivated than in the valleys, where the climate is warm and humid. High -grown tea is not only a finer quality, but con- tains much more tea juice or extract than valley -grown tea. This can be easily proved by comparing a draw- ing of Red Rose with any other tea. By doing so you will find that a pound of Red Rose Tea will spend as far as rIA. to x% lbs. of other teas. The saving is most apparent in the, Blue Label and better grades—buy a pound and make the test. T. 1-1. ESTABIZOOKS, St. John, N B.
