MADEMOISELLE
MISCHIEF
By LIEUT.. MURRAY

MI ANY years ago, in a cottage near
lvI Paris, there lived a widower with
four children. The locality was in a
beautifully wooded district, since swal-
lowed up in the grand improvements of
the Bots de Boulogne. The occupant OF
the cottage was an artist, and very
humble one in point of ability, who
struggled industriously to obtain food
for those four young mouths, like pa
rent bird presiding over nest OF fledg-
lings.
The Oldest of these children was sent
to school at the time we refer to, proving
an exceedingly intelligent pupil, but
with such an irresistible propensity for
mischief of all sorts that she absolutely
came to be called Mademoiselle Mis-
chief
She was a good-hearted child, but yet
a perfect little imp. whose roguery got
her constantly into difficulty.
One very reprehensible trick of the
young girl was the propensity, which
seemed perfectly natural to her. for
drawing caricatures of the schoolmis-
tress and others, especially of all her
young companions, which. being done
with admirable likenesses, possessed
just enough merit to make the satire
very keen and sometimes bitterly felt
Miss Mischief was also wonderfully
expert with the scissors, cutting out pic
lures from black paper, and was also
very skillful in carving wood with her
penknife. Another trick to which she
was addicted was that of producing
from bread crumbs absurd likenesses of
her teacher and such professors as Wis.,
tied the school where she belonged
The roguish little creature gave her
schoolmistress an infinite amount of
trouble. and there is no use in Disgusting
the fact that size was almost daily laid
across the mistress lap and soundly
punished. Still it was impossible 10
break her exuberant spirit, and she went
on with her caricatures, mingled with
pictures of animals and trees.
At last it seemed as though the good
schoolmistress was in despair. She
