WHAT CftN fVsRV ftNO JOHNNIE R0W !
The Mphiiix was a strange moi.stor
with the fin of a wouiau, and the
body and iluws of a lioness, bhe
crouched on a hill near Theboa wuit
lug to pounce upon and kill all the
men who should pass by, becauso none
of them could answer her riddle.
When Oedipu.i heard of the harm this
creature was doing to tueu he deter
mined to rid the country of the
Sphinx, so lie went boldly up to the
monster and aaid: "Tell um lour
riddle,"
Then spoke the Sphinx: "There is
a wondrous cn uiure and its like is not
found on carta, in air or in the wui.r.
i At first It goes on four legs, than It
koes on two legw and In the end It
goes oil three legs. What Is It?"
"It la Man!" cried Oedipus. And In
truui! Iu iniaiicy man crawls on all
(ours, then i, walks 0n two legs and
in old ae he leans on a stick as a
sort of a thud leg. When the riddle
wai guessed the Sphinx cast herself
over the side of the hill and wa
crushed lo pieces on the rocks below.
Great was the rejoicing of the people
of Theb.s on they welcomed Oedipus
and crowned him as their king.
Ono day Oedipus discovered that ha
was really the son of the man he had
killed. The sunshine went out of hla
life and lie was haunted by the awful,
ness of thn crime he had committed,
lie gave up his throno and wandered
blindly about the country, clothed In
beggarly rags. Nothing could console
him nor protect him from the pricking
of his conscience. Eut his last days
were made easier by the kind care of
his loving daughter who never forsook
him. but accompanied him wherever
he Journeyed and comforted him and
helped hlro.
