* ProgressiDe * Fractions. *
A RECESS GAME FOR GIRLS.

In these autumn days, when 1t is often too cold and stormy to go out of doors at recess, all sorts of indoor games are In demand The old games soon get tiresome, ana great many of our little friends write us that they study all during recess, some times because they have not prepared their lessons. but usually because they have nothing else to do that Is any fun It Is wrong to study during recess, unless you really need every minute to keep from taii- ing Tn coming recitation, because recesses were invented so that you will be all the fresher afterward and study and recite pe'- ter than If you kept at hard work.
 Here is a game that Is long enough to last all recess and still can be stopped any time the bell may ring which calls you back 10 your desks. It is very simple one, too' and, besides giving you the very best or practice in addition of fractions, Is great fun, and will sharpen your wits finely. As many as 20 girls can play or as few as nve, but 10 or dozen is the best number
 The players all sit In row, and the girl at the right-hand end, or 'head," of the row gives fraction of one, say one-fourth. The girl next to her adds another fraction to this, and she may give any part of one

The weather was very warm. and by the time Billy Jack had reached the park he vas very tired. He dropped Into s seat znder the shade of great tree and ia few minutes was sound asleep.
 Billy Jack dreamed a most delicious dream. He saw a vision of wealth that amazed him. He was a millionaire. Ills secretary stood at his elbow and explained how he might make still more millions. It was splendid. He awoke as q gIItterIng pile of gold was laid before him. Billy Jack rubbed his eyes and looked around. It was twilight now, and that part of the park was deserted, except for two very we'll dressed, middie-aged men, who sat by his side. They were talking in low tones. and of millions It was probably their conver. sation that had prompted his delightful dream. E T tell you." said the elder man, that the deal Is bound to be successful. No one knows of our combination. The i've of us who make the pool will realize ten times the money we have put in."
 But the B. & H. line has bad history. .'s objected the other.
 Exactly" asserted the first, land that Is just why we can manipulate it as we please"
 Good" was the reply. You can count on me to the limit" And the younger man arose and hurried away, while the cider smiled faintly.
 Billy Jacks head whlrled. Just think If he was only in the pool he might make 10 times his four dollars. That would be s4Ot Why, that would keep him three monthsi He plucked up courage and touched the gen. tleman on the sleeve. Please, sir, will you 1 let me come in the pool7'' he asked The man started violently. whst-what pool?" 1 he asked.
 ."The B. & H." ventured Billy Jack. l The man looked serious; this boy could ruin his plans by telling what he knew to the first passerby. ''Who are you7" he asked at length.
 Billy Jack" was the prompt response,

to be Of any use. Where are your" he asked, and the voice replied: Here in your ieft ear, and am going to begin biting you in minute unless you surrender"
 Grandfather Jumbo tried to get his trunk in his ear, but the end was too large. Then he tried to poke Mr. Mouse out with little stick, but he only succeeded in hurting his ear. At last he felt terrible pain In his head. Mir. Mouse had begun to bite! The pain was so severe that Grandfather Jumbo went almost crazy. He began to beg that terrible old man Bitem-Bitem to come out of his ear and leave him in peace.
 Not until you surrender,'' replied MT. Mouse.
 That I will never do," answered Grand father Jumbo, and MT. Mouse gave another bite. That was more than Grandfather Jumbo could stand, and he promised to do anything Old Man Bitem-Bitem said.
 "Go down to MT. Lion's house, com handed Mir Mouse, land hurry along. too. or I will give you another bite." So Grand father Jumbo started off at a great rate. and soon reached the place where MT. Lion lived
 Knock on the door," ordered Mr.. Mouse. and Grandfather Jumbo did.
 MT. Lion came out half asleep. with his nightcap on his head.

one ear was entirely out of MT. Mouse's reach, while the other was pressed close to the ground.
 Mir. Mouse trembled and shook, but started to climb up Grandfather Jumbos trunk Suddenly he heard great explosion, and found himself lying on his back on the grass several feet away. Grandfather Jumbo had sneezed.
 MT. Mouse lay quiet for some time, rub ping himself tenderly, for he had been badly bruised. Then he sat up. He heard a loud rumbling like distant thunder. Grandfather Jumbo was snoring MT. Mouse shook his fist at him, and running quickly up his trunk crawled into his great ear.
 Mir. Mouse reached his goal just in time, for his little feet had tickled Grandfather Jumbo's delicate neck, and an immense trunk came whisking through the air, just missing MT. Mouse's coat-tails. Now, how ever, he felt safe. and shouted in loud yoice: "Get up, you old Lazybones Get up before I kill you" Grandfather Jumbo sprang to his feet in great hurry, and, snorting fiercely, looked all around, but could see no one. Then, thinking he had been dreaming. he heard the same voice say; Surrender! Surrender, you old five

 "Who are you?" he cried. Show yourself, so can break every bone in your body
 ''I am Old Man Bitem-Bitem," replied the voice. 'I have. twenty-seyen thousand and three teeth, and intend to use them all on your head in minute"
 Grandfather Jumbo charged all about in the woods looking for old man Bitem-B -Bitem, but, not finding anyone. came back to his wife, who had been awakened by the noise. She acted just like the cook does when she is angry and you have tracked up the clean kitchen floor with your dirty boots. She told Grandfather Jumbo he should be ashamed of himself, awakening people at this time of night and disturbing all the neighbors. Grandfather Jumbo kept get ting more and more frightened. MT. Mouse continued to threaten terrible things, and nothing the poor elephant could do seemed

What do you want at this time of night?' he growled, when he saw who 1t was. Cant you be satisfied with chasing me around in the daytime without coming here to disturb my sleep like thIs?'
 .'I have come to surrender" answered Grandfather Jumbo.
 ''Kneel down." commanded Mir. Mouse, who was still in his ear Grandfather Jumbo hesitated for a moment, for he was very proud. MT. Mouse gave him little bite just to remind him how things stood, and Grandfather Jumbo fell on his knees in a great hurry before MT. Lion and surren- dered.
 "You can be King of Beasts" he said to MT. Lion. You can be anything you want to If you will only take this terrible Old Man Bitem-Bitem out of my ear.''
