Some years ago "Co-operation" was
one Of the topics which engaged pub
lie attention. No matter how strongly
we may doubt the expediency OF enter
ing into coo peratiye enterprises for
commercial purposes, there can be no
doubt as to the absolute necessity of
cooperation in other fields. Some of
those fields will be discussed in the

Sabbath evening, the subject of the

 Yes, and bags of money. and first she thinks she won't stop him, cause if her cousin has everything stolen from her she'll know how it feels to be poor. But just as the burglar climbs out of the window she begins to feel sorry for her burglars, murderp just as loud as she can and then the hero jumps in and knocks the burglar down and saves the silver and the jewels and the money.

 Not always" corrected Betty. I've heard Uncle Dick say, 'Beastly dull play that"

 questions of her governess and of her father and mother about plays and the aters. The governess went to the trouble of reading several Lays to the children and of showing them numerous pictures of stage scenes and of actors and actresses.
 "The youngsters seem to be getting stage fever at an early age." MT. Lea remarked to Mrs. Lea one evening.
 "Yes, there is something brewing in up to. but this eager thirst for informa- tion portends something"
 Finally Polly, with an air of mystery and importance, announced to Betty and Rosemary I've got it.

What the Boys

Small boys in Fairleigh were allowed to go no farther than the first woods; their older brothers could go to the "sec- ond woods" and on Saturdays or in the long vacation they might wander as far as Mount Overlook without reproach. This was the goal toward which every boy In Fairleigh looked from the time he got into trousers.
 The first woods was on every account, except that the other was forbidden terri tory, the best playground It was really not a woods" at all any more, except in name, but was a wide pasture field, to which the boys drove their cows each morning At one end, however, there were great piles of lumber and deep sawdust where there had been a portable sawmill at work. There were enough big trees left to furnish fine shade on a hot day. To add to the attractions there was an or chard adjoining. from which most of the apples were taken while green. Some times their effects were to be seen in the fellows who were doubled up with cramps, but more frequently they were used as big lumber piles afforded great oppor- tunity for mimic warfare. One Saturday morning almost all the boys of Fairleigh were gathered in the first woods" The big fellows showed a disposition to stay and the little chaps had no chance to get into the fun.
 Say" said Harry Shaw to Joe Weldon, Tets go to the second woods,
 Have you ever been?" asked Joe.
 'YeS, with brother cu. 1nere ' no reason why we couldn't go. All you have to do Is to follow that path and then get over a stile, and there you are in the second woods "
 'All right; let's go."
 Harry was nine and Joe was eight years old. Ten was the age at which Fairleigh boys usually began to go to the second woods alone.
 ''Where you going Joe Weldon?" asked Helen Weldon, who was with some girls picking violets about half way to the 'SecOnd woods
 None your business" said Joe, impo- litely.
 '1'il bury her doll if she does" threat ened Joe.
 On the stile the boys paused and looked with the air of victors into the coveted

 board on the stile toppled and Joe fell headlong. Luckily the grass was soft, and The trees grew close together in the "second woods and there were few stumps to sit down upon, as there were in the first woods"
 sI don't think it would be as much fun here as in the first woods" said Joe. s'Huhi it's heaps more. Why, you can climb trees and hunt things and. and "Aren't you awful hungry?"

and says he does love her and will marry her and take her off to live with him on a beautiful island. Then they begin to quarrel and she says he doesn't love her.'
 "Why?" asked Betty.
 Well, that's the way they do in plays. And he goes off and she cries and her cousin comforts her and says the hero will come back, and she says, No, he never will, and that's the end of the sec ond act''
 Then do we have to go and get another
 Yes, that's the way they do at the
 Whats the third act?" asked Betty.
 ''The heroine's very pale and is dressed all in white, Don't cry, your lover will come back her cousin tells her. oh no, I'm 'fraid he Is drowned, or murdered by the villain,' says the heroine. Just then the hero comes in. His head Is all tied up in a bloody handkerchief.
 Heaven help us,- what is the matter z asks the heroine. I was most killed by the villain,' the hero tells her., but my life was saved by this noble friend of mine, who seized the villain, and we've got him here In chains "
 "Oh." said Betty. and "Oh, oh." echoed
 "The Villain is kept in chains and starved to death" continues Polly; "the hero marries the heroine and the friend marries her cousin and they live happy
 "Oh that's beautiful playg Betty de- clared, and Rosemary jumped up and 
 Rehearsals went forward promptly and excitement so increased with each one that Norah declared that those children were clean daft about something.
 For time they were undecided whether to invite their parents and grown-up friends or to restrict the audience to the Sickersells and others from over the bor- der.
 MT. Timbobby won't come if we have grown-ups," suggested Betty.
 Well, who wants him?" replied Polly. Its going to be so grand I think we ought to ask the grown-ups."
 And they did. Dan helped them to lay boards for the stage and some were placed a little lower, as seats for the audience.
 The heroine and her cousin came on the stage In their night clothes and lay down to peaceful slumbers. Presently Rouser, urged on by Polly, trotted on. Thereupon Betty arose and cried out, oh you vil- lain, you're stealing the gold watches and the diamonds and everything. Oh, oh!
 Rouser looked mildly surprised and started to trot off the stage, but before he could escape he was met by Polly, the hero, In tights cloth jacket and cap. Hold" she cried. and seizing the Villain by the collar, tumbled him on to his back and demanded that he give up the treas ures he had stolen.
 The audience applauded wildly.
 'Is 1t time for me to get up now?' piped Rosemary.

 "There's a way round the side where it's easier to get up. Come on, let's try it."
 That way was none too easy, as they soon found. Their short legs found it diff ficult to reach from one rock to another and their small hands were scratched and strained by catching hold of laurel and other bushes to help them up.
 Do you think we can get way to the top?" asked Joe. as they sat down on a ledge to rest.

 Do you think my hero's drowned?' she asks her sympathetic cousin.
 Just then the hero staggers in with much flour on the face and a handker- chief with red spots on 1t bound around the head.
 "Oh, dear, does 1t really hurt7" asked the heroine with suspicion of tears in her voice.

 "I'll help you" said Harry, encourag- ingly. Ut ain't much farther.'
 At last they got to the cave.
 Here 1t isl" sang out Harry. in triumph. Nov, I'd just like to know what the boys have got hidden in there, and I'm going to find out"
 Getting down on his hands and knees he started to crawl in and Joe followed. Suddenly both boys stopped and drew back, for large snake that was coiled up right in the center of the entrance to the cave lifted it's head and hissed wickedly.
 Gee whIz" exclaimed Harry. Look out there, Joe.
 Joe gave a cry, missed his footing and tried to seize projecting root. It broke off and Joe went tumbling over and over until he finally struck against large, tree and lodged there. Harry scrambled down after him and tried to help him up; but as soon as Joe tried to get up he gave a cry of pain and sank back.
 "Oh, my ankle" he moaned. Tt kills me and can't stand on my foot"
 Well, you've got to- said Harry. Its getting dark and we have to go home. Lean on me and hop on one foot.'
 Joe tried to do that, but in a moment he gave way and pulled Harry down with him.
 
 groaned Joe.
 ''I'll tell you what I'll do'' said Harry; "Ill run to the first woods as fast as can and get some of the big boys to come for you"
 Luckily, Harry did not have to go far. He met his brother, Ed. and Alex Wilson at the foot of the mountain path
 Hello, kid; whats the matter? You look as if you'd seen a ghost" said Ed.
 "No, it was only a snalxe,' replied Harry, "and Joe's hurt his foot, and won t you come and help him homer"
 Joe was soon on Eds broad back on his way home.
 You saw a big snake. did you? And he hissed at you? Well, he's the guardian of the cave" the big boys said; but wheIl they went to the cave themselves they were very careful to look about for snakes before they went in.
 T guess he must just have been there to look out for little boys who were going where they had no business to go." said one of the fellows who had only recently been permitted to go beyond the first woods.
