Snowdrift told him that Spot was I'll.

They found Mrs. Leghorn with her

They went around the corner Of the
barn into the carriage house. where Spot
lived. He was a fox terrier, and he was
tied up with q chain. His nose was down
on his paws and he was fast asleep when
they came in, but he walked up at once.
I'm very glad to see you" he said, Civ
ing Mildred his paw. 1T is pretty lone

Il heard you were poorly" Snowdrift
said, politely.

Mildred sat down on the floor and took
Spot in her lap, and they all had a nice

- HERE was once a little girl
i've and half years old whose
name was Mildred. She was al
ways very kind to all sorts Of
animals She would not hurt
them IN any way and she would
not let other children hurt them II she
could help it. and that was the reason
that the animals were fond OF her and
were glad to do anything for her when
they understood what Il was that she
wanted.
Mildred had large white cat and q
little tortoiseshell kitten. The cat was
called Snowdrift and the kittens name
was Rainbow. Snowdrift was Rainbow's =
mother. and she used to wash her face
for her very carefully every day. Rain
bow didn't like il much. but she had to
keep quiet while il was being done.
One Tuesday Mildred found Snowdrift
asleep out In the garden and Rainbow
chasing butterflies She couldn't catch
them, Of course, but she liked to make
believe that she could. Snowdrift woke
up and opened her sleepy yellow eyes
when she heard Mildred coming.
"Oh, is that you, MildredT she said
in a small cat voice.
YES" Mildred said, very much sur
prised. "When did you learn to talk?"
Il learned when was quite kitten,
snowdrift replied. "but you know we are
not allowed excepting ON Animal Day.
That comes only once year, like Christ
mas and Fourth of July. This is it"
Il never heard Of it before Mildred
said, still more surprised.

The First Stove.

The most important uses of fire were taught by Ire itself. As the primitive man stood near the flames of the burn ing tree and felt their pleasant glow he learned that fire may add to bodily comfort, and when the flames swept through a forest and overlook deer and baked 1t be learned that fire might be used to improve the quality of bis food. The hint was not lost He took a burning torch to his cave or hut and kindled him fire on his floor of earth. His dwelling filled with smoke, but he could endure the discomfort for the sake of the fires warmth and for the sake of the toothsomeness of the cook ed meats. After a time hole was made in the roof of the hut, and through this hole the smoke passed out. Here was the first stove. The primi- tive stove was the entire house, the floor was the fireplace and the hole in the roof was the chimney. The word "stove' originally meant "a heated room." So that if we should say that at first people lived in their stoves we would say that which Is literally true. St. Nicholas.
