with them provisions enough to last for a
week. They were driven to their destina-
ton by Sambo, the negro boy, who did the
chores. After he helped them to unload
he left them, promising to return for them
in a weeks time
The boys had only one small tent, not
quite large enough for three. but they had
brought along three large barrels. and
these they used for sleeping rooms, each
one curling up comfortably in the blanket
inside. They left one head in each barrel
and slept with their feet at the closed end.
AS the nights were cool the protection
from the wind was needed, and with
boughs and branches they made a guard
against too much wind blowing on their
heads Two OF the barrels were placed
on poles laid on the ground, and one on
stones TO keep the dampness OF the ground
away. AS a cozy, warm bed. yet with
plenty of air. the barrel couch proved a
great success.
One night a high wind blew the tent up
from the ground and of into the lake,
scattering the provisions here and there,

head from a piece OF bacon that had hung
in the tent and was following 1t through
the air.

A big amber-eolored cat named Ted
which had always been most careful OF his
ways, fell into bad habits.
He appeared at the door on successive
days with a pigeon. a sparrow and a robin
In his mouth.

tied three little bells TO the cats collar to
prevent a repetition OF his misdeeds.
This seemed 20 work well for a time, as
the tinAle warned the birds OF danger.
Suddenly the bells disappeared; a blk OF
bells, such as are sewed on ehildren's
worsted reins, was purchased, and as fast
as bell came off another was tied in its
place on the collar
One day big tiger cat, who was Teds
constant chum, was discovered calmly
chewing the ribbon that attached the bells
to Teds collar.
The mystery was solved. and after that
we entertained our friend by tying a bell
on his collar and putting him on the bed
beside the tiger cat, The instant he dis
covered the bell the tiger began TO chew

The question Is did Ted ask him to re.
move the bell or did the tiger cat dislike

Millicent May was very fair,
With violet eyes and golden hair,
And she was gowued with greatest care,
Was Millicent May, my dearie.
She sat In her carriage, nor even bowed
Her lovely head to the passing crowd,
For she was fair, and she was proud,
Was Millicent May, my dearie.
But pride oft endeth in disgrace,
For she fell she fell and broke her face,
And in oblivion took her place,
