Her servants might have gathered the

for the poor animal had been deprived
OF food for twenty -four hours, and his

him a bountiful rcpast of what he liked
best to eat. This had to last for two

tied up; and then, half furnished, he

The journeys were always made at
night, the dor being sent from home at

the animal used, many valuable loads
were safely conveyed over the frontiers

immense gains to their dishonest mas

folly in mailing sudden display with

His artfulncss and the innocence Of
his aspect Were amazing. He would

How Alice and Her Nurse saw Victoria
Picking Flowers.
Alice will remember always with de-
light one summer morning when she
lived in Baden-Baden Baden-Baden is
pretty German town, and Alice's home
was in one of the prettiest parts of this
pretty town.
The house in which Alice lived looked
out upon beautiful grassy hillside.
Buttercups and daisies grew all about,
making the soft green appear like a
velvet carpet embroidered in rich flo-
raj design.
Alice had her play house at one end
of the long balcony, and here she
could watch the people passing by, and
see the handsome carriages coming and
going
One morning when Alice was out on
the balcony playing with her dollies,
she saw little fat lady, dressed all in
black, coming down the hill. Every
now and then she stopped to pick the
sweet pink and white daisies.
The little lady herself looked just like
any other little lady. She wore plain
dress covered with crepe, Il small black
bonnet with widows cap inside, and
long black veil pinned on the back.
A tall, stiif-looking lady walked be-
hind, and at little distance after her
