sat in chairs opposite to him. A table with the charter on it was between them. In those days people burned tallow candles for lights. Several of these lit up the room where An- dros and the men were talking over the charter. They made a very poor light. When they were talk- ing. all of a sudden the lights went out. If that had happened nowadays a dozen matches would have been produced, but there were no such things as matches in those days. They made their fire with flint and steel. When the lights were lit once more the charter was not to be seen. The charter was taken and this is how it came about. While they were talking a young soldier named Captain Wadsworth came in the room. He threw his coat over the candles and put them out. And while the people were lighting the lights he took the charter, escaped through a door or window and ran the main street of Hartford, where stood an oak which had a hole in its side. He slipped the case which held the charter into the hole and it dropped to the bottom of the tree, where no one would think of looking for it. The charter was kept there until James II was driven from the throne. The tree was then called the Charter Oak.'l In the Revolutionary War the general let the soldiers cut down trees for tire, but he would not let them touch the Charter Oak. Nothing is left of it now but a piece of its wood. Page thirty six ' The Lucky Stone' ' NCE upon a time the birds and beasts talked and wore clothes. Timothy Titus knew some .of the animals. Timothy Titus was always kind and good but rather silly. The way Timothy Titus made his bread he went along by the roadside and mashed stones. He did not know one of them was a Lucky Stone and he hit it with his hammer. The first blow his hammer flew into pieces. I wish that evil stone were in the river, he said. Just then the Lucky Stone hopped out of his hand and rolled to the river. Timothy shouted, Stop, stop. He ran after the stone. He looked funny. The children said, Timothy Titus, Timothy Titus, Mind you don 't bite us I Billy Mouse had his tail caught between two stones. It pained him very much. Salt tears ran down his cheeks. Timothy Titus heard some one hol- lowing for help. He looked all around but saw no one. He looked again and saw a little mouse with his tail caught between two stones. Timothy Titus did not know whether to help the mouse or to get the Lucky Stone. He thought he had better help the little mouse. Along came a man leading a monkey. The mon- key was in great pain. Salt tears ran down his cheeks. Timothy Titus put his hand into his pocket and found he had a few pence. With the pence he bought the monkey. While he was helping the mon- key the Lucky Stone floated down the river.
