MOTI GUJ—MUTINEER By RUDYARD KIPLING One of the pleasures of life is to travel and see the world. If we are unable to travel far in reality we may at least see much of strange lands through short stories of distant places and ways of life different from the ordinary. _Moti Guj—Mutineer_ is a story of life in India, of elephants and mahouts and strange events. It has all the atmosphere of India, given by half-humorous realistic touches that transport us from the land of everyday. It is a story of animal life, told with an intimate knowledge that shows close familiarity with “elephanthood.” Beyond that, it has what every story must have,—close relation to human character as we see it in any land at any time. Even the elephant is made to act and to think as if he were a human being. The humorous style, and the quickness with which the story is told, as well as the vivid pictures it gives, are typical of its author’s work. Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay, India, in 1865. After education in England he became a sub-editor of a paper published in Lahore, India, where he lived for some years, becoming intimate with all the life of the land. He has lived at various times in India, the United States, South Africa, and England. He has written a great number of astonishingly clever stories, poems, and novels, all in quick, vigorous style, with freedom from restraint, with rough realism, and with genuine humor and pathos. Among his most notable books are: _Plain Tales from the Hills_, _The Jungle Book_, _Captains Courageous_, _The Day’s Work_, and _Puck of Pook’s Hill_. =Arrack.= A fermented drink. =Coir-swab.= A mop made from cocoanut fiber. GULLIVER THE GREAT By WALTER A. DYER There is a wonderfully close sympathy between man and the animal world,—a sympathy that is especially strong in the case of either the horse or the dog, animals that are the close associates of man. Ancient literature,—_The Bible_ and _The Odyssey_,—tell of the faithfulness of the dog, man’s friend and protector. In recent times writers have turned to the whole world of nature for subjects,—the stag, the grizzly bear, the wolf, and other animals, but stories of dogs still awaken interest and sympathy, and will continue to do so as long as the faithfulness of dogs endures,—which is forever.
