Bobby liked this place almost as well
as she did her home, especially the run
ming track. This was not really track
it was, indeed, only two long, smooth
ly graveled paths, running side by
side to the end of the lawn, where they
joined with a wide curve. But as soon
as the children saw it, they knew at
once it must have been intended for a
race track. This year--the year that
Bobby was eight-they had organized
a regular racing club before Bobby
and her mother got there. And that
day, after Bobby had had her dinner
and visited all her favorite hooks and
corners and trees, the children told her
about it.

Nell White, "for he's won all the races

When Mr.. Barry shouted "Gol" the
new boy and Tommy sprang down the
upper path like race horses. The peo-
pie cheered them on and the cheers
were redoubled when the new boy
turned the curve far down the lawn
little ahead of Tommy. On the home
stretch, as Mr.. Barry called it, Tom
my lost his foot for a moment, and his
friends were silent with the fear that
he would not regain 1t. But before half
of the course home had been covered
the new boy began to tire and Tommy
bounded ahead of him.
As the line was crossed Tommy was
three feet ahead, and there was a great
deal of shouting by his friends. 1t was
evident that Tommy was the favorite,
yet somehow Bobby felt sorry for the
new boy, and as she passed him she
said: II am SO sorry you lost; think
you run splendidly."

THE RACE THAT BOBBY LOST.
By EvERARD JACK APPLETON.

In the first place, Bobby was not
boy. Her name was Bertha, but ever
since her stout little legs had been able
to carry her, she had taken so much
enjoyment in playing as boys play, that
her father had called her Bobby-and
of course every one else did likewise.
Now if there was one thing that
Bobby liked to do more than another
it was to run. She had learned to hold
her arms close to her Sides her head
up, her chin out and to breathe through
her nose: and after you have learned
these things, practice makes the rest.
But the race that Bobby lost-Well.
here are the facts; you can see for
yourself what / was about to say.
Every summer Bobby's father. Mr..
Ward, sent Bobby and her mother away
for a month or more to a lovely old
summer resort up in the mountains.

to play all sorts of games in, for it had
many trees to hide behind when very

children, they threaten to send them
to THE land where the pepper grows. !"
That is most alarming to the German
children, and often they become quite
good almost at once.
Men have always wanted pepper so
much that long ago, when they still
knew so little about the world
that they imagined it was

to look for it. The old Arabian
sailors, much as they feared the DJinns
