he could easily unite the rope and just
say ssget up" and walk very gently by
the nursery window. So ne united the
knot very gently, and said "get up" still
more gently, and out stepped Dandy
very-but no, not gently at all. Who
would have imagined it would seem sc

"Whoa," said Freddy but Dandy
liked it too much to whoa, going into
the garden with only a fly upon his back.
And away they went, Dandy and the
poor little fly, who was holding Ga Tor

"Whoa," cried Freddy, "please
whoa oh, oh, oh ;" but Dandy paid no
attention, and trotted into the garden
and by the nursery window, though
Freddy did not look up-he was too
busy-and had Lulu looked down |
think she would have been more inclined
than ever to say, 'sYou did not.
When Tom came back there was no
horse and no Freddy to be seen. Down
the road, however, there was consider
able dust and little figure was bobbing
up and down on horses back.
Tom threw his coat in one direction
and his hat in another, and, crying out
to Mary Ann that Dandy was running
away with Master Freddy and shaking
the wind out of him." he started down
the road.
When Mary Ann heard this she threw
the milk pitcher into the -four barrel,
and calling out that s. Master Freddy

you would go away and never come back
any more.
And as she thought this over and over
again her feet were flying heller SHELTER
over the road after Tom and Mary Ann.
No Freddy to play with, no Freddy to
talk to after they were both in their little
beds at night, no Freddy anywhere.

shook him, but raised such cloud of
dust that she stopped and only marched
him home by the collar of his beautiful
new Jacket. About an hour later, when
a bath had revived Freddy, he and Lulu
sat together on the door step. care

"No," he answered doubtfully, looking
at himself "my legs are there, aren't

thinking while I was riding, that kind

"Why, children, what are you doing9"
asked sister Alice, coming in and seeing
them both bending over big book with
pens in their hands and ink beside them.
