A Grateful Elephant.

In India elephants are as plentiful as horses in Denver. A certain elephant used to pass daily through the market of Ajneer. A kind-hearted woman who kept a stall used to give him a handful of greens. One day the elephant got into a great rage and dashed through the market, scattering the crowd in all directions. Alarmed like the rest the woman took flight, but in her flight left her child behind her. The maddened elephant came up to her baby, stopped in his wild flight, lifted the Infant gently with his trunk and laid it safely on a stall in front of a house in the neighborhood.—Denver Post.
