Alick went up the narrow stairs on tip

reached the landing, and he went slowly
around the room. which was filled with
trunks and unused furniture, poking his
candle into every corner, but Poppet was
not to be found.
When he came to the ladder leading to the
roof he glanced up and saw that the trap
door had been propped up with a broken
cane, and in the opening little white
face and pair of bright eyes peered down
at him.
.'Oh. Poppetr' said Alick, "how did you

only answered NEW"

December joys.
BY HARRIS LAMBERT.

Hurray, hurrayi DEFENDERS here!
| hope Ii SHOWS so hard
1t covers all the country round
Except our own front yard.
I love to play out In the snow,
To make snowballs and forts;
l love to slide, l love to skate
Those all are first-rate sports.
But when 1t comes to breakfast time
On a dark December day,
An father hauls you out o. bed,
You sort o. hear him say:
Come, Samuel. shake your lazy bones;
It's showed all night right hard.
Now, get your clothes on very quick
And shovel out the yard"
Why, then, you have to hold your breath
And think. oh, very hard:
Or else you want to tell him
To shovel his own yard.
An II you told your father that
He wouldn't be to blame
II he should whip you awful hard
So you'd walk a week quite lame.

Written for The Evening Star by Helen Corinne
CLEARWATER.
Old Dapple Grey is the bonniest horse
That ever came down the pike;
For speed and color, for beauty and size,
have never seen his like.
And young Sir Wogg is knight strong and bold,
Who rides with air gay,
That the folk all run out and the pair cheered
Each time they gallop away.
Then and away through the liyelong day.
Ger fields red with giants gore;
I know you're boy and your horse a toy,
Your battle ground here by my door.
