The Wood-Shed Party.

Mamma" said Dorothy, II wish
could have a wood-shed party"
What do you mean by that?" an
swered Mrs. Spear in some wonder.
why" explained Dorothy, "all the
girls in my class have said they just
love to play out in nice wood shed,
where there are lots of shavings and
smooth boards and hammers and
Just like ours, in fact" laughed
Mrs. Spear. Il think it would be a
nice idea"
"Then We'll have it," decided Doro-
thy, land it must be on a stormy day,
because we like to hear the rain pat
ter down-it seems so cozy."
II think 1t can be managed" said
mother. I'VE must try to interest
papa in the matter. think there must
be little picking up done"
That evening Dorothy sat up half
hour later than usual, preparing her
invitations The following morning
ten little girls found on their desks Il
square Of white birch bark, to which
dainty card was fixed by two tiny
bows. On the card We're these words

Wood Shed Party at Dorothy Spears,
on the first rainy Saturday afternoon.
at two o'clock"
A long spell OF fine weather. was
patiently passed by the eager girls. and
at last came rainy Saturday. Never
was a stormy holiday so gladly vel
coined, and at two o'clock ten little
cloaked figures came in damp line to-
ward the house.
Wet wraps were left In the kitchen.
and then the children trooped out to
the great, roomy shed
Dorothys father was a ship builder,
and in his leisure he often worked
upon some small boat in the shed.
So when the guests came out they
saw first a nice, warm stove in one
corner, in which birch bark was snap
ping comfortably; next, the good
sized body of sailboat resting on
blocks, to the inside of which led a
short step-ladder.
III Tue DOdt we're STOOLS ana CuSD-
ions, and on Its deck sat Dorothy's
whole family Of dolls in holiday dress.
The girls glanced about and exam
ined all the good points of the craft
and said there was almost water
enough outside to sail 1t.
The logs Of wood had been rolled up
in such way as to make gradual
flight Of stairs to the top Of the wood
pile, where fiat board was standing
Each guest was asked to run up the
stairs and drive a nail in the board.
There was a prize, in the shape Of a
dainty birch bark bonbon box tied
with baby ribbon, for the one who
could drive nail without striking
off,"
There were whole barrels Of clean
white shavings, from which they pick
ed the longest and arranged on their
heads for curls.
At four o'clock came the refresh
ments, part Of which was ice cream
served In little birch bark cups.

dolefuNy. but he took the candy gen.
erously held out to him, and bit into
it. Then he groaned again.
"Oh, DEAR | can't eat candy now
My tooth hasn't ached a bit, and now
it's beginning. oh, dear!" and he
looked gloomier than ever TT will

1t into one of the dentists envelopes
and slipped it in his overcoat pocket
Never mind" said Rob, cheerfully
glad that it wasn't he who must have
tooth pulled.
Just as Rob was beginning to read
the dentist called Benny. Benny
climbed tremblingly into the chair
and the dentist hunted round among
his instruments, for he knew wha:
Benny had come for Benny opened
his mouth and held his breath. Then
the dentist scowled with, pretended
dismay.
What's this, young MANI" he
asked sternly. Aren't you trying TO
fool me? This isn't the first of April.
What do you come to me for, when
you have pulled your tooth yourself?''
Benny gasped. He couldn't believe
his ears. He took the hand glass,
and gazed with interest into the little
red cavern of his mouth. AS true as
am alive, the tooth was gone, and
in its place was the tiniest round bit
of a new one.
The dentist laughed, and Benny
climbed down from the chair, looking
very much surprised. but also very
happy. He went back to the waiting
room, drew the envelope from his
overcoat pocket, looked at the taffy
he had saved for by and by. and
there, half buried in the dark. soft
sweetness. cleaned the missing tooth
How Rob laughed And you never
even knew it had been pulledi" he
said with shout. Then they both
ran home to tell mamma how brave
Benny had been.-Christian Register.

BENNY's FRONT TOOTH.
How 1t Was Pulled Without His
knowledge or Consent.


Benny lay in bed and thought about
it. He knew he couldn't stand It.
Then he rolled over and buried his
face in the pillow and dug his toes
into the mattress, and wondered what
he could do about it. Mamma had
said firmly that the tooth must come
out. Such shame to spend a Sat-
urday morning in that way, too.
Now it is only fair to Benny to say
that, when he had to have a tooth
out last summer, he was very brave,
and faced the music like a man.
That tooth had ached and ached, and,
when it was pulled, they found it very
bad; and, even though he had taken
gas, it hurt him cruelty afterward,
and he felt that he couldn't possibly
be brave again. Besides, mamma had
said that this time he couldn't even
have gas.
20, Benny, are you worrying?"
asked mamma, as she drew away the
coverlet from Benny's face and saw
two big round tears just ready to
toboggan over Benny's rosy cheeks
Wow, but it hurt me last time,"
Benny groaned.
Yes, but this is different. Why,
the tooth is loose already. Come, be
my brave, good boy"
Benny shook his head mournfully.
