The Doings Of the Dolivers
THE INDIANS.
BY GRACE MCGOWAN COOKE.

The Delivers are family of dolls. The
country they live in Is the nursery. 1t
is a very fiat country, and the land is rich
or poor, according to the figures on the
carpet-some of them are faded, you know.
and some have bright colors. The house
they live in is a little low cupboard, and
that makes an upstairs and downstairs
for the Dolliver family. The nearest run
ming water is the washstand, away and
away over in the corner of the nursery,
where If nurse turns on the faucet there
is raging cataract, and a large lake.
The Delivers love to picnic over near this
natural curiosity. l suppose all children
know that when we go to sleep dolls wake
up and live their little lives, and have their
little pleasures and their little pains as we
do, but in the nighttime, when there Is no
body to see them or to know 1t. The king
or rather the queen-of the country in
which the Delivers live is Ethel, the dear
little girl who owns them. They love her.
but she often does things which distress
them dreadfully, and these stories of the
doings of the Dollivers will tell you all
about it.
The Dollivers had a strange adventure
with Indians soon after they got the
crumplyhOrned cow and the pigs. A knit
ted Indian came and desired to work for
them. He was short, squat, little creature,
with the most terrible eyes and an express
sion of great misery on his face; yet he
proved to be a good natured SOUL and, as
he and the crumply-horned COW struck up a
great friendship, he was extremely useful
to the Delivers.
He told the Dolliver family that his name
was Captain Jack, and he made matters ex-
tremely pleasant for them all by taking
charge of the three china pigs. who slept In
his bed and followed him about all the
time.
1t was in the middle of the night-as dolls
count night-abOut three weeks after Cap
tain Jack came to be a member of the
Dolliver household, that they were awak-
ened by violent shrieking.
1T Is war cry" Mrs. DolIiver moaned,
and TO. once she was exactly right.
The whole family arose and dressed
themselves. and found Captain Jack huddled
up in his bed with his three pigs about
him, his teeth chattering.
1T is my ancient enemy, Highup," Cap
tain Jack said. '"He has dug up the
Ratchet again. He'll never rest till he's
killed me-"
Dolly Dolliver peeped out of the window
and standing before the house a most
appalling sight. 1t was a jointed Indian
doll-two joints to each limb. which made
him very active and fierce. He had tattoo
ing upon his arms and several red feathers
from the buster gave him a war bonnet.
There were moccasins on his little feet,
which accounted for his having slipped up
war whoop to let the Dolliver family know
he was there.
Dear met said Dolly Dolliver. "he
looks like the Indians in Queen Ethel 5
book. 1 think it would be very interesting
to talk to him" and what did this absurd
girl do but open the door and trip out to
talk to the Indian. while Mrs. Dolliver

For great deed a fea Their decora ted at the

OF these deeds. Thus the feather represent

Just five, and the folks were all at tea.
So the cubbies said. Let have some fun
Till the folks come out, and then we'll run"
1t was not by rule they played croquet;
They drove the balls almost any way.
They grew eager, they grew hot,
That both Of them entirely forgot
To look now and then at the house to
When the folks inside should finish their tea;
And finally two merry girls ran out
And one jolly boy with whoop and shout.
When they saw the cubs 1T Is hard to say
II the cubs frightened the worst or they.
The children quick to the house turned back
The cubs for the woods made hasty track,
Nor stopped TIL they reached their secluded der
Some day, they thought. they would go again,
For of all the games they preferred croquet,
But the old bear growls. Nay, nay, nay nay"
