hat. q suppose memorizing two verses of poetry four
lines each would tend to make one insane, SO to prevent
that calamity | will do as you desire,'' answered.
AS we walked along chatting gayly all the while |
spied a black object lying directly in my path. Was it,
could it be a pocketbook7 I picked it up eagerly. Yes,
cts a shabby-looking thing sneered my friend.
'tMy dear girl I replied, " looks don't count in this
case. Feel of it. Now, come over by the tree; I'm simply
dying to open it, I tore open the old purse and found
a thick wad of wrapping paper! Disappointed is hardly
the word to use to express my feelings. Provoked and
angry I hurled the offending pocketbook into the near
est gutter. Just then a number of small boys rushed out,
laughing and rolling about in high glee. Fooled a
girl-oh, oh, wasn't it funny!' was what I gathered from
their incoherent speech. L gazed at them sternly, unable
to see a reason for the silly joke. It was-why, it was
the first Of April. Oh, wretched memory; you have failed
me many times! -Leona Schafer,

THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENS.

rest Of this threatening speech was lost to my listening
ears, as I sat on the porch, by the loud bang of a door
proceeded by several piercing screams Of the poor unfor-
tunate. The child's quaint little speeches and queer
ways had a strange fascination for me and altho I sell
dom got a chance to speak with him nevertheless my
seven-year-old heart went out to him in sympathy. If
I had my way about it I would march across the street
and box her ears good and sount, even if she was his
mother. But the consequences-Oh! I trembled to think
of them.
A few days after this event an alarm was s~pread=one
morning in our usually quiet neighborhood that the small
boy over the way was lost. At noon when I returned from
school he was still missing and I vaguely wondered how
his mother felt: When school closed for the day I was
walking. slowly homeward, when a strange thing occurred.
I saw the lady whom I supposed hated her little boy So,
running towards an officer on the opposite side of the
street, who bore aloft in triumph on his shoulder, the
small truant. Her hair was streaming in wild disorder
over her shoulders, her eyes red and swollen with weep
ing. She clasped the child in her arms and-oh, wonder
Of Wonders!-kissed him. And so I reasoned out that at
last she had found that a small, noisy, mischievous, live
boy was far better than a cold, still, lifeless one.

A BEAR FROM THE WOODS.

One day in the country, as I was coming home from
gathering flowers, something black crossed the path in

hear the breathing of the savage animal as it raced after

what the animal was, expecting it to be a bear. To my

and laughed. But when I went after flowers again puppy

along. He had been hunting for me before and did not
mean to brighten me. Agnes Free,

my own: I was angry, yes, very angry, and almost ready
to cry from vexation. It was the climax Of an ''inside-

I had been more and more in subsection to my Saturday
feelings as time wore on. It was our first week at the
lake and cleaning and moving had been carried on under
the difficulty of spring fever, tons of clouds and torrents
of rain. The disagreeable sound of the rain had made

me shedding their %teardrops on my head and shoulders
The rain had ceased and a cool wind was blowing.

trees or-whether> the wind had its effect or whether
nature herself worked the charm, my thoughts gradually
wandered far, far from the unpleasant scene at home
and as I walked / found myself softly humming a favor

bridge which spanned the valley in which the trainrail
wendell its snakey way, the clouds parted and fed from

the trees tears to pearls and simultaneously the birds
and my heart broke forth into a volume of song as I
softly whispered,

In the unsecured heavens they leave no wake;
The eyes forget the tears they have shed,
The heart forgets its sorrow and ache.

ttLet's 60 up in the attic,'' I suggested to my
friend X. one afternoon about two weeks ago, for mama
had gone away and, we were housekeepers. We climbed
up thru the hole in the ceiling, there being no attic
stairs. K. found an old newspaper which she started to-
reSS. I walked. along a board on my way to sit down and
read with K, but I tripped on some nails. / was near
K, SO I threw myself down on her with such force that,
oh! I pushed her thru the ceiling, down onto my bed. I
sat up there for a while dangling my feet thru the cell
ing, then, when I tried to get up, the plastering broke and
I fell thru. At first We began to laugh, but when we saw
a big hole in the ceiling, found seven laths broken and
the plastering destroyed we felt more serious. Our
rooms had just been papered two days before, SO what
would mama says
With great difficulty and many mishaps we nailed
the laths and without any plaster, papered the opening,
taking great pains to match the figure of the paper, after
which we cleaned up. The next day mama asked why
the ceiling had a big patch of brown paper. Then, for
the first time I discovered that we had taken the tan
paper for my sisters room which had the same design
as mine. Athena Martin,

parents to the upper deck. We were laughing as we
walked along near the forbidden railing and congratu-

frantic, with my hands to my ears. In a few seconds I
stopped. It was the whistle for starting that had fright
ened us, and my friend had acted very much the same as
