Ono bright morning the Knight of the
Blue Armor had loft his stronghold and
lay basking on the rocks. Ho enjoyed the
fresh breeze that blew away the curling
Leads of the roaring waves as ho had
blown away human sympathy. Like himself
the day was cold and brilliant in appearance
and the sun seemed to delight in striking
upon the fl uro that lay a shapeless mass of
glittering steel upon the huge brown bowl-
acre. His tall figure in Ito careless pose
looked as if it might be a piece of a blue
wave from the ocean lodged in the cloven
rock. Ineenslblo to tlmo loneliness of the
place , he was rejoicing in bin good luck to
have been so long unmolested , when Ida quick
eye detected a tiny , black speck drifting from
wave to wave midway between time island
and a ship , many leagues away , Yes , It
was coming toward him , very slowly , but
very surely , the little bark that rose and fell
with the heaving rolls of water seeking to
wash the shore. In it were two men-an
elderly priest and a etrong , handsome youth ,
who pulled time oars with a hearty stroke.

"It is he , " said Father Francis to Jean , as
a gigantic billow dropped them down Its
slippery side in full view of the rock on
which the knight rested ; "I thought the
sham Knight and the ogre were identical ,
Pull steady , Jean , and keep a stout heart"
The knight meanwltllo with a very angry
expression rose to his feet and stood shading
his eyes and looking intently upon the up-
preaching near now that the two
figure re visible.
"They shall ( mot land , " lme mumbled. "I
feel tltoy are my destruction. With this
remark lie crept down the rocks , dropping
frcm one to another , clinging by hand and
fool , now jumping , now swinging , now
scrm.nibling and now eliding , until he reached
the sandy beach ,
"Who lands ? " he cried to time intruders ,
"Who lade ? Is It peace ? Is it menace ?
This island Is mine ; neither friend nor foe
is welcome , Yo Iand , on porll of your lives. "

"We are messengers of peace , " said Father

reply ; "your blood will answer for your
crime of entering my rocky gates. Begone ! "
"I know you , Gaston de Mesquin , " said
the priest , undisturbed by threat and scowl
and furious gestures , "I know you , Have I
believed the tales of your disappearance ?
Do I not know that yonder castle contains
the treasures won by your greed of will and
strength of arm ? Listen : Your people , who
are my people , starve. Atone for your evil
deeds by giving your bounty to succor the
suffering once. Plague has visited them and
famine tarries a moree unwshed ( for guest

their sakes , for your trresent peace , for your
future reward , and for my Sake-a conae-
crated monk , who will call heaven's gifts of
mercy upon your path. Help them ! " '
"I would the plague had carried you off ,
too ; mayhap famine will , if ho abide long
enough. Were my prayers useful , I would
piece head of nation on to tail of vesper
and beg him starve 4hy stomach into dust.
Do you monks teach your sons how to invade
and harry thus the aotates of other men ?
Youth , you are bold In looks , Icavo the monk

of such manners. What land has escaped

for angry words , 'We come wltlen appeals for
charity , " and thdprlest ! related the sorrows
of his flock with ashih exquisite cholco of
words and so many ! illustrations of truthful
incident that tbolKdlght of the Blue Armor
listened in a mood akin to rapture , When
Father Francis had finished he exclaimed ;
"Your oratory is indeed due , Sir Priest ; you
have touched-my beadbut not my heart-
but not mN heart , " and'thon , as it ashamed
of conceding so much , be screamed : "Bev
gone , both of you ; begone ! ' '
Turning , lie started up' the beach with
haughty , swinging atridoe , , .
VII ,
"Melt , Sir Knight" called Father Francis ,
"halti Once more I give.you a chance to
atne for your past misdeeds of rapacity ,

to uelfishly guard with your grasping hand

empowered to bring you to pu sham
Choose , for in this hour your dQopl Is set ,
Whether you wish it. or not , your yfopprty is
mina-mine to divide among yout people ,
who are my people"
The strong , salt breeze played with the
white curls on the troubled brow of Father
Francis , for ho hoped the knight would relent -
lent , yield to his persuasive words and escape
his doom. But these could not pierce his
heart any more effectually than the sun could
dart its rays through the glittering armor.
"how blue the sea , how blue the eky , bow
hard the knight's face , how grieved the
mcnk ! " Such were the thoughts of Jean ,
who gazed wonderingly at the scene ,
VIII ,
A strange thing happened. "It is sad.
Joan , but I must parish this man , " said
Father Francis , as the knight walked away.
"We cannot spill his blood , yet we must seize
lia possessions for the hungry ones at henna
Watch ! "
As they overtook him again the Knight of
the Blue Armor turned with a menacing
glance , but was arrested by the monk , who
said slowly : "Knight of the Blue Armor ,
there are treasures in the sea-guard them ;
there are monsters in the sea-go live with
them. You wear armor , it shall cling to you
and become a part of you ; the sign and seal
of your greedy nature shall he a cumbersome
claw ; your eye shall shrivel in its socket ; and
your heart men ohall look for in vain , Be-
gone ! "
This was hardly spoken when the knight
vanished , and a huge lobster fell from the
rocks into the ocean with a great splash.
Father Francis and Jean sgnallod , their
ship to land , loaded her with time spoils of
time castle and sailed home ; ono to the charge
of his people ; the other to the gentle Adele.
So well does the lobster fulfill the charm
that , clad in his helmet and cuirass of mail--
a marvel of flexibility-he guards forever the
secret caverns of the ocean , One thing reminds -
minds the. Knight of the Blue Armor of his
greed-time avkward , grasping claw which so
often brings him into trouble ,
If you do , believe this story , examine
the next lobster you see , and tell me if be
doeanot , wear a wonderful suit of armor !

THE KNIGHT OF THE BLUE ARMOR.

I BY ESTIIEit SINGLETON ,
_
1 ( Copyrighted , 1896 , by the Author. )
Many hundred years ago a grim castle
frowned with surly aspect from a pile of
rocks upon a lonely ! eland. Rumor. said
an ogre dwelt horn ; but really It. was Gaston
ao Mesquin ( which translated means sordid
and stingy ) , better known as the Knight of
the Blue Armor , who had disappeared from
lala home 1n France to guard his treasures
'In this remote place.
This baron had robbed and plundered his
.Awn and foreign countries to so great an
extent that his life was not sxefe. Before
the lied to tlmis dreary island ho feared every
.aorvant on his estate ; and , to protect himself -
self , he ordered a suit or armor to be made
in Toledo. When delivered , he pronounced it
erfect ; for , after buckling traces and straps ,
YJio walked up and down , finding the metal
ease , despite its ponderous appearance , as
t light as his satin hoeo , and every hinge
and greave and plate eo flexible that no
enovprnent was Impeded. lie surveyed himself -
self with pride , for so strangely was the steel
, burnlshed than sometlutes ! t appeared bronze ,
sommetimes blue , and sometimes green , and

' a .III.
When ten years dad dropped their
petals in the Garden of Time a pestilence
swept over the country , leaving famine in
its wake ; and although the grief-stricken
remnant of humanity murmured prayers for
deliverance , no help came. In their distress
they turned to Father Francis , the benevolent -
lent , learned , sympathetic monk , whose little
church stood not far from the deserted can- .
tie. Around ! t time ivy grew as devotedly as
his loving thoughts for his people , and underneath -
derneath its graceful wealth of green the
solid church was typical of his sturdy character -
acter , Tender add gentle as was his nature ;
ho could be stern enough when time time
demanded it-and everybody loved and trusted ,
him ,
Father Francis could sit iii his little
rginlen Ia the shade of its high wall all
day among the spicy gllllflowers , the fluffy
red peonies , and time cloth-of-gold roses ;
wattling time green dragon flies and brown ,
speckled butterflies at play among tlid'velvet
petals , hearing the birds eing their songs in
the swaying trees ; and taking pleasure in
the bounce and buzz of the industrious bees
filling their honey bags ; or he could close
his eyes to theca delights and > itudy here ,
as well as in lmis bare room , old volumed
held together by heavy silver clasps and
filled whim the quaint lettering of patient
scribes. On dull days , when the angry
rain lashed the hearts out of his flowers
or when winter covered them with a cloak
of snow , Father Francis would take his
palette and brushes , patnto and bowls to his
tiny window , and spend hours illuminating
miniatures , delighting to see the pictured
story grow under his deft fingers ,
IV.
But in all these occupations , and even
when at lia orisons in the chapel , he was
always ready to listen to limo woes of lime
people , and , to help them by word or deed ;
for Fattener Fraucls believed himself nearer ,
heaven's blessings when helping mankind
than at any otimer time.
lie still believed the Knight of the Blue
Armor to be alive , and connected him with
time legend of the island , Uast could be seen
on a clear day like a golden dot on the sky
line across time sparkling sea. If he could
approach time tyrant , perhaps he might
soften his heart
Fathe Francis called his people together
In time little ivy-wreathed chapel "I go , "
lme said , "lo procure kelp to that island
which legend wills enchanted. De its
owner monster , dragon , wizard , or cruel
man , I will bid him aid you. my dear children -
dren , Who will sail thither with me ? "
The faces grew pale.
"Do not leave us , Father Francis , do not
leave us ! " was the cry ,
" R'lmo will go with inn ? " he repealed.
Timen 1n time silence oulspoko the bold
voice of Jean Is Ilardt : "I sin your unworthy -
worthy companion , Father Francis , 1f you
tvIll have mne. "
"One is all I need , " answered the monk ,
"and now 'fargtvell , my children ; we go today
day1 give you my blessing ! "
As ho stretched forth bls hands , that
looked like the white doves of peace and
promnise , the people bowed their heads and
sobbed , Time olu ones grieved to lose their
priest , but the young maidens sorrowed for
the handsome , dauntless Jeap , who had captured -
tured their tender hearts ,
As Adele du Bola Walked out under time
arched alone door , she fond Jean waiting.
He clasped her hand and told her in his orient -
ient gaze the secret she lied craved so long ,
She &hipped her scented rosary on ills wrist

strength to crush a man's skull or deem- !
bowel him with a single blow. Ile had heard
a gorilla's roar three miles off.
A TERRIFYING ENEMY.
The grown main is often shy and Du
Cituillu has Lunted one all day unsuccessfully -
fully , although sure that the ape was avoiding -
ing him. Once met , however , the animal
never retreats , and a life or death combat
canes. It is a terrifying thing' to see a
gorilla make ready to attack , its round , bullet -
let head , covered with reddish hair thrown
forward from the black body , its features
convulsed with rage , the small , deep-set eyes
gleaming malignantly , and the tangs of tlhe
heavy. Jaws showing between tensely drawn
lips. What adds to the excitement is the
necessity , owing to the denseness of the
jungle where gorilla's are found , of holding
one's fire until the last moment , a hunter
never discharging his piece from a longer distance -
tance than eight yards , while from fourteen
to eighteen fet is time ordinary gorilla range.
A final point is that gorilla meat , dark
red in color , is esteemed a delicacy by natives
and experienced -hunters ,
TIGER INTUITION ,
The tiger is the greatest lighter in the
jungle , and seems to know its superiority
over other animals , tun indicaticn of this
being found 1n the straight course it takes
in going to a watering place , its trail moving
ahead unswervingly , while the tracks of other
animals show breaks and hesitations from
various alarms. A tiger has all the strength
of time lion , with the advantage of greater
quickness and cunning.
Tigers might be called the cannibals among
wild beasts , hence It is a well established
fact that the males often devour their own
cubs and in some instances their females. It
is probably for this reaenn that the tigress
conceals Imer cubs from their sire as soomm as
they are born and leaves him herself as soon
afterward as may be.
There is united testimony that tigers know
the differences between natives armed only
with spears and white men carrying rifles ,
and they are tar rhore apt to attack time
former than the latter. A white man armed
is comparatively sate from attack in the
jungle unless the animal ho is hunting is
brought to bay or wounded , ' '
Trapping tigers is royal sport , and hero no
device conceived by wlito men has been
found guperlor to the native metlmod , which
is at once simple and effective , Half way
between the tiger's lair and its accustomed
watering place is dug a pit twelve or fourteen -
teen feet square nd somewhat deeper , with
sides sloping out after time manner of an
Indian cache , so that the bottom is some feet
larger than limo mouth , Every particle of
fresh dirt is removed and the opening is then
concealed by branches and leaves , over these
being erected a primitive tripod fifteen or
twenty feet high. From time apex , securely
bound , is suspended a live goat at a height ,
calculated to tempt the tiger's spring. And
there time animal is left an unwilling sacr111co ,
klekng ! and struggling until time great beast
shall come forth.
Attracted by time prospective feast , the
tiger creeps up within bounding distance ,
then gives a niglmty leap and-falls into the
pit. There ho is kept a r
days , his frantic efforts to escape fY serving -
ing to exhaust his strength , Meantime ttis
captors have constructed a bran new cage ,
whiclm is carefully let down over him , large
pieces of rattan being gradually worked beneath -
neath until ho 1s completely shut in , By
tlmis time the tiger is usually nearly dead
from exhaustion and wounds , n his
Iconditlon , a most miserable j t
bid cage are hoisted to the surface.
AN EXPERIENCE SVITH A LION ,
In regard to lions , it seems thorn is toun
datlon for the statement that these great
cats often refuse to attack a man , ovep

that he died within the ) tour.
