ing unusual liberty She had made mud
pies and mud cakes, with black beans in
them for raisi1ls, and spattered herself
literally with the mixture; she had built
houses OF tiny sticks; she had made a
garden by sticking flowers into the dirt,
and it occurred to her suddenly that she
should like very much indeed to see the
new piggies. She trotted up to Alice
and made known her wants, but Alice
was absorbed in her book, and only muir

Finally Alice said, 1mpatiently:

Trot's little scarlet lip quivered, and
the tears almost came as she said: --

Irot went out by the fence, and the
woodsraway of, miles it seemed to her,
though they were really not quite half a
mile away-looked SO cool and green to
her, the crickets and, the birds sang a
little sweeter there she was sure.

She had been to ride with her papa
once, tl,rough these woods,, to call upon
q gentleman who kept Guinea hens; she
thought therefore that this gentleman's
place was Guinea, and as she enjoyed
her first cali amazingly, she had no hest
tation about going the second time to
Guinea "a -t
She trotted along bravely for awhile,
but the sun was hot, and the little slip
per was full of sand, and she wished she
was there many times; she gathered all
the flowers she saw, and soon had both
hands full, then she transferred them to
the skirt of her little pink dress and
toddled on. At last she reached the
woods ~ FsBEXe-e

Her blue eyes soon spied bright, red

could see; she struggled valiantly over
sticks, briers and bushes. until she
reached it, and spied another still deeper

but she was asleep, with the stars
shining down on her sweet@face. Lots
of people were searching for Trot, but
no one thought of going to tine woods,
for they thought it impossible she
should wander so far-all but Rover,
the big, black dog. He barked, and
pulled his rraastv1 u,sst -uoy.as.-.--
Trot walked up, hearing a loud bark
ing, and murmured, sleepily:

The barking grew louder and louder,
and something came crashing through
the bushes close to poor, frightened lit
tie Trot, and, dropping her slipper from
his mouth, logan to lick her face.

my papa
Lit wasn't but few seconds before she
qua see her papa, and, held tight in his
arms, she was carried out of the woods
to mamma and home. She was kissed
and Rugged until she exclaimed indig-
nantly :
