Dog Who Was q Friend

- OUR girls had started out to-
r. gether one beautiful day in June
for a picnic They had luncheon
in their baskets and were bound for
a brook they knew of far off in the
woods.
AS they walked past a road among
some farm buildings a great black
dog ran out and joined them
why, he's as big as a calf!' cried
Edith.
He was nearly, but his affectionate
brown eyes and the waving of his
plumy tail soon reassured them, and
they made fast friends with him. When
they went on he frisked by their sides
and refused to be sent home.
So he went to the picnic and proved
a delightful comrade. They called him
Bruno for that was the name en-
graved on a silver plate on his collar.
When they got to the woods they
found the wild flowers, the birds and
all the interesting woodland things so
absorbing that noontime came before
they knew it
The others chattered merrily as they
laid out the good things. Nelly had
Just put some seed cookies on a Jap
anese napkin, when suddenly out of
the bushes came a huge dirty tramp!
He sat rudely down by Edith and
seized a handful of cookies.
"Guess I'll come to this party" he
announced gruffly. You might as
well hand over them rings and yer
pins while I'm eating"
1t was of no use to scream, for the
nearest house was a |mile off. But
they did scream. Grace and Bruno,
coming from the brook, heard the
cries and ran as fast as they could.
The tramp did not see them until
Bruno was within a few feet of him.
Then a growl like a distant thunder
startled him, and Nelly grabbed Bru-
nos collar just as he was about to
spring.
He was still for a moment under her
hand and she shrieked:
Run! Hurry! 1 can't hold him long,
for Bruno showed signs of breaking
away from her. She was afraid of the
tramp, but she did not want him torn
to pieces before their eyes, and their
gentle friend was transformed. His
eyes cleaned red, his thunderous
growl was growing louder. The tramp
cast one look at the white fangs show
ing under the dogs curled-up lip.
Then he made for the trees.
Hurry" screamed Nelly. And the
tramp did hurry. He was out of sight
in a moment.
Then Bruno was his CHEEKY self again
He frisked and barked and ran mer-
rily back for the forgotten water pail
which Grace had set down.
The girls were half way home that
night when they discovered that Bruno
was gone. He had disappeared as he
came and they never saw him again

Class A

On a lonely little hill near the sea-
shore lived my father, brother. sister
and myself. one day as 1 was walking
along the seashore 1 met some boys
who were talking about taking row In
their boats. / then asked them why
they looked so angry and they said:
"Our fathers have told us not to go
rowing because there Is going to be a
storm out on the ocean, but we cart
see any signs of it,"
"well," 1 said, boys, mind your
fathers. for they know best. Just sit
there on the rocks and let me tell you
about a terrible experience 1 had.
zone day my brother Tom, little SIS
ter Bess and myself wanted to take a
row in our boat, so we went to our
father to get permission, but he said.
NV children, 1 don't think you ought
to go for it looks as if there might be
bad weather. But we went over the
hills to the shore where we found an
old boat. Then we all got in and
started the boat sailing out on the blue
ocean. We were having a lovely time
splashing the water with out hands
watching the gulls in the air and seeing
the large vessels out on the sea, When'
as we were coming back we notice
that the water was getting rough. We
tried our best to hurry the ship II
shore, but it was too late for the storm
was raging fiercely. Just then some
thing turned the boat on its slde. On!
nv. how we tried to save ourselves
from drowning
"Then 1 could hear my brother talk
ing to little Bess. 'Bess,' said my
brother, don't hold me so tightly for l
can't do anything Then what did l
see before my eyes but our dear little
sister sinking down, down into the blue
sea. 1 cried out oh, Tom Tom, where
are you?' No answer came. Theh
turning my eyes 1 saw Toms coat
floating on the waves. Soon it sank l
was left all alone to struggle to the
shore.
"It was late in the afternoon. L could
see father out in the field with a
scythe in his hand cutting some barley.
BY a terrible fight with the waves
reached the shore. My father was
there were tears in his eyes"
What about little Bess?" asked the
boys.
"Oh, the body of little Bess was
washed ashore next day. 1t was buried
over on that hill in that graveyard
where you can see her name on the
tombstone next to her mothers, for
she had died when her little Bess was
only nine months old"
But where is Tom?"
"Oh, yes, poor old brother Tom has
never been seen since that day, so he
must have sank to the bottom of the
sea.
Now, as you see, father and myself
are left and 1 am getting to be an old
man. I have been in six wrecks, but
still / am alive. You would better all
go home because this is a day for
bad storm
Then the boys turned away with
tears in their eyes and went home much
wiser for the lesson they had learned.

1 want to tell you about my kitten,
and some of his funny ways He is
blue and white, and his name is
Malteta. 1 have great sport making
him run up and down the room after
my ball. But little piece of string
Is the best plaything for him. He will
jump right upon my shoulder to
catch it.
If I throw a newspaper on the floor
he will jump upon it, and tear holes
in it, making believe that he hears a
mouse under it. This he seems to dc
to amuse me; for as soon as l stop
looking at him, he will go away and
lie down. But he is growing fast, and
soon will be a grave old cat.

RICE TABLE.

The Principal Dish at the Midday
Meal In Java.
In.Java, as in most really warm coun-
tries, it is customary to rise early and
to take cup of tea or coffee, together
with q biscuit and some fruit, imme-
diately on leaving ones bed. This Is
followed by more substantial break
fast, but the first really serious meal is
served at half past II o'clock and is
the equivalent of the French "dejeuner
a la fourchette" or the Apglo-Indian
tiffin. This meal is called rice table
"rystafer'-from the principal dish, a
very elaborate curry, in the preparation
Of which the Malay cooks are especial
ly skillful.
The popularity Of the rice table con-
sists in the number and variety OF
dishes presented. From these dishes
the guest has to select the materials
which, together with the rice upon the
soup plate before him, are to consti-
tute his curry. 1t is also as well to
know beforehand that one is not re-
quired to lunch solely on curry, but
Tic IlCC tuplC 1o ohSNSSuSu Ny
courses of ordinary luncheon dishes.
1t is case, therefore, Of "embarras de
richesses."
The second danger is that of making
up ones curry mot wisely, but too
WE'LL" and leaving neither appetite
nor capacity for the beefsteak or for
any of the other solid dishes which
subsequently appear and which under
these circumstances only produce a
feeling of mingled horror and conster-
nation. 1t is then that one suddenly
realizes that the rice table is merely
sort of tremendous "hors d'oeuvre."
There are two dangers to be avoided.
In the first place, it is quite possible.
in spite of the number of the dishes
presented singly. to say nothing 0f an
cctagonal tray containing a separate
chutney in each of its nine compart-
nents, to get no lunch at all, for moth.
Ing is easier than after saying "nein"
to succession of frivolous compounds
to dismiss the one solid and palatable
dish.-Pearson's.
