laid siege to the heart and hand of Miss
Gordon, demanding an immediate surren-

she did not capitulate at once. She de-
manded time to consider.
So, still unpledged, she returned to this

Some facts in the life of a Bug-a-boo.
He's not the creature to give you pain,
He dwells I'm a corner of nurses brain.
An atticky, ratticky, cobwebby place,
Where cowardly ogres are sent in disgrace.
He has no more spirit than sweet skim

He's tame as a hobby horse, tender as silk,
He shiyers and shakes when the doggies
bark;
And would you believe it! he's scared OF
the dark.
He hasn't an atom of common sense,
Would fall in outrunning a zigzag fence.
He never was known to chase a child;
SO don't be frightened and shrek so wild
When nursey tells of his big, black wings,
They're only shadowy, helpless things!
Just say to her firmly, This Will not do,
