His small studio nportmcnt was full of Ivory elephants, some of them no larger than a wntch charm, bronze etc prmnts, poreelnln, plaster and wooden elephants; some of which be himself had carved, for Martin Brown was n>< mean craftsman—a sort of Juck-of-nll | trades person, .with n_ .fancy -for ele. : pbants. - The-elephant* Is a large animal, even so Is the. subject of the clepfinnt.

The affection of an elephnnt mny seem a ludicrous thing, bat to see thosi great beasts touching him gnresslnjil.t and feeling hlnfover with thplr deli cate trunks was not a funny thing m nil.

The United States Fuel Administration calls upon all users of anthracite coal for-the—utmost -conservation of coal this winter. Where a hundred per cent, supply had been anticipated for every user of hard coal as a domestic fuel, a grave slump in production because of the effects of the influenza epidemic has made it apparent that the most extreme economy, coupled with the use of all available substitutes, will be necessary to prevent discomfort to a large number of householders. Householders In the Middle Wcsi. hitherto accustomed to the use of on tliraclte coal, were placed on reduced allotments -of hard coal this winter in order that the northeastern section of file country might have Its customary full supply With distribution facilitated through the working of the zone system, tho amount of bard coal available 111- peared to bo more than ample far re quirements. The anthracite miners had maintained a steady level of pro duction during summer and fall months wblcb seemed to provide a con servative basis for estimates. A tremendous slump In production followed the sweep of the Influenza epi demic, however Hundreds of miners fell III from (he disease, and of those who recovered few were able to reach their former efficiency within several weoks. The \tons mined\ figures, after a slight upward treud from the worst of the \flu\ effects, fell ngulu when the miners Joined hands with the rest of the country la the two celebrations of the signing of the armistice.- Between the two Causes, the total anthracite production Ogures received a blow which will require the most ex treme efforts of all available anthra cite miners to remedy Even befon- the signing of the armistice tlie Fuel Administration was obtaining the fnr losgt: of st^hrsdre n^iers from TTIF army to as great an extent as possible In ortlerfto meet the situation. Pew consumers have sufficient an thracite conl to Inst them through thi en-tire winter If you are one of those fortuuotes It Is Incumbent upon you to make the supply In your cellar go as many months ns possible In ordei that less well SL led households will not ha've to do t bout. Aside from the most extreme econ- nmv in the, nsn. of domestic sizes of JUL thraclte Coal, the Fuel AdmlnlstraUon urges the following measures- The nse of No. 1 Buckwheat conl ti supplement the larger sizes. (Buck wheat size cannot \be used alooe.) The nse of wood to as great an ex tent as possible.

Whenever anything new came in that even so much as men- i tloned elephants, it was always called'' to bis attention. This had been the rule with bnt one exception. For more than a year past In several of tho magazines there had been occurring a most Interesting type of black and white drawings which fea tured the elephant In strange and pe culiar phases, and in most unusual sur roundings. There were sad .elephants, coy ones, comical, rollicking, devil-may- mre - elephants, abundoned ~nTnr Htgnt- fled elephants. | They strolled or danced along the streets, they looked curiously over gar den walls. Into or out of unexpected doorways, strolled up or down the steps of sunken gardens, sometimes In the most delightful company of dancing girls or nymphs in silhouette. , And when Martin Brown first saw those drawings he laughed and hunted eagerly for more. He found them, quite a few of them, signed modestly ID the corner, \S. B,\ He called tho attention of one of the librarians whom he had known for soveral years and asked her If she knew anything of tho artist She did t The artist \yas a girl who came there and pored over cleptmnt books and made quantities of sketches. \What kind of a girl?\ asked Martin Brown. \Bather young—and sort of ottrne- tlvo,\ reluctantly admitted thenibra those eyes were sail, Tor TbVre WOJTTI hint of humor In the curves of her mouth, and her drawings sparkled with fun. \I've often wondered about you.

It wns bnt natural that they should become friends, they hnd so mnrh in common At his Insistent Invitation she visited his studio and sketched his ele phants, and he gave her of his lore and such a companionship as she had never before known In the timidity of her dreams. Brown did not know, but that was the reason for the sadness In ber eyes, he loneliness of a shy but courageous tilrit fighting upward In the conton- tous competition of reni.>r>\les3 , Man hattan. But ns she reveled In the Joy of ber association with Brown the Idok of sadness lifted from her eyes and they began to reflect the dancing lights of her nuturu) spontaneous no tui-e that htld always revealed Itself In tho humorous quirk of her flexible mouth und the Jolly elephant* whirl tnvorted engagingly when depleted \i\ the genius of her rtnrwtng Together they went to the various zoos nnd one after nnother she met the friends of bis fancy.

But Sara Bnrstow was unafraid—delighted to feel that they trusted and loved her even as they did Brown. There was but one exception In this attitude toward Snrn Bnrstow among tho elephants oV New Turk, and that exception was Minerva, the mightiest l-enst of them all. Minerva had been taught In her native Africa in her early girlhood and brought to New rlan, vrbo was neither. \Why here she/ Yorlt - F °r years there had been no In comes now!\ .she added In surprise, flleatlon that she hnd resented this ln- and his glance! followed hers as a tall, tcrruptlon to her Jungle cnreei^.but Ml- sllm <lrl came toward them. | icrva was of tho species\ femthtue, and, .
