It was very pleasant occasion and end
ed with dance. Each fox danced with
his own tail, so all had partners. AIT All,
no-not sol One old fox had lost his tail
in a trap, but he didn't care a rap; he
just conjured UP the ghost OF his former
TAIL and so made the most OF a mishap.
It was chilly when the dance was finished.
and the full moon came up to light up the
paths and byways of the wood.
After all the common foxes had retired.
the two little king foxes shut UP their
thrones into patent couch beds hung their
crowns upon the proper pegs and went to
sleep.
Then the wood dove came. perched upon
the imperial oak. and crooned softly;

The Wolves of the Black Forest

Among the hills and mountains of Ger
many there Is vast stretch of timber
called the Black Forest. So far does 1t
reach that many travellers have been lost
in it. especially those who were so luckess
as to leave the beaten paths at night.
Many of the trees are tall evergreens with
thick. heavy foliage, so that even In winter
and In the day time the woods are deeply
shaded.
On the border Of the forest is the village
Of Neustadt and about two miles from the
village along one Of the roads leading
into the forest. lived a poor wood cutter
with his two little grandchildren. Max and
Margaret. They all lived happily together,
even though they were poor, for their life
was simple and they We're contented.
Now every year, In the middle of the
long, cold winter, a gay fair was held in
the village of Neustadt To this quiet
mountain town the fair is the great event
Of the year. and all the population for miles
around tries to attend. Even the very poor
may go, since the cost Is nothing except for
those who buy.
So the old wood cutter was accustomed
to go every winter to the fair, for besides
Christmas It was his only holiday in the
whole year. Twice he had taken Max and
Margaret, and now they wanted to go
again. But the old man had rheumatism
and begged the children to wait until next
year. when. he said, they would be old
enough to go alone.
THAT will be grandr' declared Max
Then, after moments thoughtfulness,
drawing himself up as tall as his little fig
ure would permit, he cried out. See, grand
father, how big ! am already We could
go alone this year. Please say we may"
But grandfather knew that there were
dangers in the Black Forest, especially the
danger Of getting lost. SO he said 1t would
not do. Max insisted that he was almost a
man. that he knew every step of the way
and that he could take care Of little Mar
garet perfectly.
At last the old wood cutter yielded. much
against his will. to let the children go.

High links.

One day when nobody was looking the
stars and few of their heightened friends
had sky-lark. 1t wasn't easy to find a
time when nobody was looking. for nearly
always some one or other Is looking up-
ward to guess by the sun how long 1t will
be until dinner time, or else to wonder at
the heavenly bodies and admire them.
But the wise old sun, who sees about
everything. watched his chance. and when
he saw everybody minding his own busi-
ness down on the earth he said to the
stars and things: 'Nows your time"
OF course every goose knows that the
stars are where they belong in the day time
as well as in the night time. so 1t doesn't
matter whether this lark happened In the
daylight or in the dark.
Lets run a race cried Castor to Pol
lux. They are both twins. you know, and
very close friends besides.
Pollux was willing. SO on they started
down the Milky Way. hand in hand, as
twins should. When Castor Jagged behind
Pollux would give him pull and shout
go. Castor, do your level best!'
Then when Poliux stumbled over some
little unnamed constellation that had not
been noticed before Castor quickly picked
him up and gave him a big boost forward.
The race was a tie, and the applause
was simply insignificant because nearly
everybody wanted to see somebody win
Just one faint voice was heard to shout:
"Hurrah for Castor and Pollux."
'.Who shouted that?" demanded Orion in
wrath. Some one replied that it was the
woman in the moon.
Orion replied that he had always under
stood 1t was man who was in the moon.
There Is a man." said the person, but
there is a woman, too. She lives on the
other side and is hardly ever seen"
Just then Mars, wishing to ask the sun
a question. said: Tell me. my sun. the
real truth about that affair Of

roared the great white-faced orb. Il shine

put his fighting things had not the at
tention of all been drawn towards the ca
pers of the great bear and little bear romp-
