Among these, the one most interest- ing and etlucat'onal is the one called the hBridge Builders.H This is a story of the buildingr of a bridge across an unspanned stream in Egypt or India. This was a very large undertaking which had been at- tempted many times before, but never successfully This special enterprise was put under the control of one of Englands most energetic young men, who was a resident of London. This particular man craved success and fame above all else, and being backed by the English Government, he set to work all by himself to figure out the amount of material, laborers, etc., that would be necessary for the construction of the bridge, He made the plans of construction by himself and did the laying out of the site by him- self. It might be said he furnished the mentality for the whole construction. 011 the arrival of the material for the bridge no man ever went into any thing- heart and soul as this man did. With an unsurpassed amount of success in getting things done the. bridge was speedily put into form, and the work lacked only a few days necessary work to complete it, when a telegram was received of an immediate flood that was the greatest ever known. as there had been successive rains for many days. The men, working like tigers, cleared the river bed and did what they could toward securing the bridge and retired to their bunks in time to escape a mighty onrush of water. But our hero stationed himself by the large stone boats on which the safety of the bridge depended if the water got high, that were above the bridge. If they had become loose they would have knocked the bridge off its piers. and while aboard one of these, which were all fastened together, the cable broke and in its mighty rebound struck our hero and knocked him unconscious upon the deck of one of the boats. Drifting out from their moorings they went with the current straight away toward the bridge, but happily for our champion he was unconscious and the boats,.clearing the bridge. drifted down stream about three miles and lodged on an island. Here he seemed to gain semi-consciousness and in his dreams he imagined the hrir'ge is destroyed and a total 1055. Thus his one aim in life was destroyeltl :mrl imaginary spirits seemed to hoot at him and torment him over his iailure to accomplish what he set out to do, and after many hours of this suffering which can be understood better by reading Kiplinls own descrip- tion than that of anyone else, he was rescued and told that the bridge was

DAL LE VON 29 The seven lean kine are seven years of famine, which will follow 21d eat up the abundance of the years of plenty. Therefore let the king choose a wise man and make him ruler of Egypt so that he may fill the public qranaries with grain during the years of plenty? i This advice pleased Pharao and he chose Joseph to be the governor of Egypt. During the years of plenty. Joseph stored up great quantities of grain. XVhen the famine came it spread even to the land of Canaan, where the brothers of Joseph lived. Then Jacob told his ten older sons to $0 to Egypt 11ml lmy grain. x The brothers, arriving in Egypt, met Joseph, but they did not rec00'11ize him. Joseph. however. knew his brothers. He wished to see if they bwere still hanl-hearted and cruel, so he accused them of being spies. They de- clared that they were once twelve brothers, but now one was dead and Benjzmlin. the youngest, was at home with their aged father. Joseph then said that he would keep Simeon in prison until they should come hack. bringing their brother Benjamin. So the brothers went home, but Simeon remained in prison. After a while the brothers returned with Benjamin and Joseph released Simeon. Joseph treated them very kindly but still they did not recognize Joseph. XYhen Joseph saw how kindly the brothers treated Benjamin, he could restrain himself no longer and he cried out: tlI 3111 Joseph! At first the brothers feared greatly, but Joseph said to them, tlFear not. l was sent into Egypt for your preservation. Go back and bring my father to Egypt? 50 Jacob came to Egypt, overjoyed to see his son alive. Joseph gave his father uml brothers portions of land and costly presents and they all lived very happily in Egypt.
