TLbc TiUelleslcv Xcoen a. Late ill the afternoon he was directed to a Bull of ferocious aspect, bearing: a placard upon his forehead. By this placard he was referred, in peremptory language, to a Classic Rendezvous in the Fifth Forest, at the hour of 4.45. Some say it was 7.30. Arrived in the Fifth Forest, the Lion found himself in the midst of many flourishing oaks, which afl ' orded him ample material for his scepter. So he gathered a large bundle of twigs from the oak trees. They were young, vigorous, and green. Some were more flexible than others, but all of them tough. He returned jo fulIy to the Owl, and laid these twigs, one by one, before him. The Owl, with the help of his Council in the .Academe, took up a few of them, and, using prodigious energy, snapped them asunder. You see, my Son, he said kindly, but firmly, the fragility of these single twigs. Now weave the remainder together. The Lion did so. Now attempt to break them. This the Lion could not do. The Owl then graciously received the scepter, saying, Not even persuasion or argument, my Son, could force these oak twigs apart. Like Excalibur, the scepter was named, and its name was Unanimity. S

Zbc %ion. N days of yore, four beasts of the tleld made a compact to live together. They were the Lion, noted for superiority and strength ; the Gazelle, beautiful and grace- ful ; the Jackdaw, wise in his own conceit ; and the little, timid Hare. The Owl ruled over them with equity, and promulgated his decrees from his abode, called The Academe. On a certain time the Owl wished to possess a scepter, which might be the symbol of his sovereignty and strength. To the Lion, eldest, most privileged, and most responsible of his subjects, he relegated the task of finding him a suitable scepter. Through the Forest of Learning the Lion majestically trod. The l ' eautiful Gazelle he saw grazing in large numbers, for they are gregarious in their habits. It is said that in their sociable gather- ings they mainly discuss what substitute may be found for their regular Promenade, for the Gazelle is very lazy. He also startled many Hares, who tied at his approach, or watched him with large, startled eyes. The Lion took a pleasant nap under the Psychology Tree, but being awakened by a skull suddenly dropping upon him, he pursued his way. He was ol?liged to demolish a wall named Rhetoric, which obstructed his path, on the other side of which he found a few snaps of dainty morsels, Elective, which he greedily devoured. 4
