"It is plain to me that I am the queen of the field," she said to the Pumpkin Vine, crawling on the ground nearby. "I feel sure that I was in* tended to be queen, else why should I be so much above all others around here ?" "We each play our part, I think," replied the lowly Pumpkin Vine. "My day has not "come yet. I am sure when you behold me in my glory you will see that I am quite your equal, though I do not think I was made to be queen." "I should say you were fcot,D haughtily replied Miss Cornstalk, looking on Pumpkin Vine with scorn, ^^^^M(.-166 | Pumpkin Vine Had a Pumpkin.

But one day when Pumpkin Vine ; had forgotten all about the unkindness ; of haughty Miss Cornstalk. down fell j something close beside her. Pumpkin Vine now had a large Tel- f low pumpkin of which any vine should have been proud, but she did not brag about its gold. She knew that other j vines had golden pumpkins and that ; it was not the only beautiful thing in j the world. But what was it that lay on thi* j ground beside her? Pumpkin Vine looked and there was Miss-Cornstalk, 1 proud anu haughty no more, for her i silken tresses were gone and her ] green sash and all that was left of her former glory was a long stalk withiusks withered and dry. ^ow was the time, you think, for Pumpkin Vine to have revenge: but not in the way you may think did she ; take it. Very softly she spoke to poor. : fallen Miss Cornstalk. "The sun Is ; nice and warm, even if the nights are j cool," she said, "and it will not he j long before you will be taken into a , nic<* warm barn, so do not feel so 1 sad. "You are very fortunate to be able to see so much of the world, for from your lofty place you must have seen ! many things I have missed and I am sure you will see many things down j here that will make you glad you . came." Miss Cornstalk looked at Pumpkin ; Vine and saw the hijr golden pumpkin, i ''You were right. Your day of glory h;is come and you are my equal." she sighed, "and you should have been ! queen of the field instead of me. for , you know how to be kind to those who ' have been unkind to you. and the real queen is the one who rules herself | first." . Poor, foolish Miss Cornstalk; while she was beautiful she had no time for wise thoughts, but when her beauty was gone she found out that beautiful deeds count for more than silken tresses and haughtv manners.

WON OVER ALL HANDICAPS Famous Explorer Conquered DisabiJitiet That Would Have Daunted Big Majority of Mankind. The belated dedication of ft monument to Dr. Klislia Kent Kane, once u famous Arctic explorer, is a reminder of an achievement quite as remarkable as anything that Kane did to add to the sum of knowl *?d^e of tiie polar regions, jlius was his mastery of physical handicaps which would have daunted ninetynine men i:i a hundred. He was physically so frail that he was unable to complete his studies at college; he completed his medical education at home, became a surgeon in the navy, and while physician of the American legation at Peking began his career as an explorer which marked him for fame. It is less known than It ought to be that his polar researches, important though j they were, constituted only a small ; part of his work. He succeeded in ; descending into the crater of the Taal volcano', though several able-bodied adventurers had failed; he fought lU-cioiiins in Egypt; he crossed the Island of Luzon on foot, and he made . in early study of Alpine glaciers in j Switzerland. All this and more he : accomplished before lie died at the age of thirty-seven, sustained always by unfaltering pluck and by determination such as few men possess. !

"But the second man caught him in the act. He had the nerve, though, to deny his guilt, and he refused positively to give back the stolen salmon, "A pretty bitter altercation followed, of course, and it looked as if there would be a fist fight; but just as they were peeling off their coats the second man's guide?it was the second man who had been robbed, you know?the second man's guidtt drew him aside and whispered: "'Ah, let him have it, boss, let him have it.
