NED'S APRIL FOOL.
BY LOUISE JAMESON.

Il was not a new trick but Ned and VIII
had been April fooling all morning. and
their originality was about exhausted. Then
Ned bethought him OF the pocketbook in
his top drawer.
Il never use It." he said. and II has

hurried away to get the pocketbook.
He thought he heard his mother call him
Just as he closed the front door. but ne
was not sure. and one of Ned's faults was
not making sure Of things at the proper
time.
Anyway. I won't be gone long" he told
himself as an excuse for not answering.
Here she is" he added, hourishing the
pocketbook before Wills eyes.
1T looks all right" VIII agreed. sure
there's nothing in it?''

the paper I'm putting in now. 1 haven I
used 1t in ages. Come on. let's put It
around that corner. It's as good place as
any. 1 guess"

Just a moment she hesttated, then, Civ

and fairly ran down the street.

Did YOU call me while ago?" he asked
going In TO his mother.

Yes, Ned. but you did not answer, so
supposed you had not heard me-
II did, mother, dear. but 1 was in such
a hurry. and I meant to come back right
away"
You always mean to do things. Ned,
but that Is not enough ! wanted TO tell
you that Uncle John had gone

Ned breathed a sigh of relief. That was
safe then. He was afraid Uncle John had
forgotten Il in his hurry, and there were
so many things he had planned to buy
with it. Indeed, he felt he could not live
much longer without the lovely hockey
skates he had seen few days before.
May 1 have it now. mother?" he asked.
why yes. dear you will find II in the

Ned's heart seemed to stop beating, but
without a word he turned away and went
up to his room He wouldn't tell his
mother yet he decided. He would go to
Dolly first. It would be little hard, but
he meant to be very dignifed about It. SO
quietly he went downstairs and into the
street. A few blocks from Doliy's house
he met Dolly herself.
"Oh. Nedf' she cried in her old bright
way; then she stopped with q sudden re-
membrance of their quarrel.
Dolly" he began very stiffiy Then he,
too, stopped. for Dolly's lips were quivering
and her eyes were full of tears, and he
couldn't stand that.

TO him and patted her hand upon his in the
old caressing way. I've been horrid and
cross. l know. but I've been so miserable
about mother She has been ILL., you know,
and father has had the worst luck. There
has been no money except for the necessary
things. and none for the extras which the
doctor said would help TO make mother
strong and now can get them for her, be-
cause I've found. oh Ned. you could never

Neds honest blue eyes fell before her
questioning brown eyes He himself was
thinking OF hockey skates and other things
dear to a boys heart, and was struggling
hard TO answer bravely:
NO, you can't Dolly. 1t Is yours, of
course. I-think-no. I'm sure the owner
Will never try to claim It."
A little later Ned told his mother the
whole story. and then, BECAUSE her good

Stanley.
BY B. sPIEGELBERG


A little boy named Stanley was t..kea by
his father every Sunday morning TO the
menagerie to see the animals. In his coat
pocket he carried the peanuts for the mon
keys, sugar for his friend, Big Tom, the
elephant.
Elephants are very wise, and Big Tom
knew Stanley well. AS soon as he saw him
approach his cage he would put his long
trunk through the bars for the accustomed
lump of sugar. Stanley really had the
courage to put 1t In the end of his trunk.
and then would watch him carry 1t quickly
to his big mouth
One Sunday morning Stanley gave all his
peanuts to the monkeys and the sugar to
the zebras, entirely forgetting his old
friend, Big Tom.
When the elephant put his long trunk out
Stanley thought 1t would be a great joke
to fool him. He stuck just wee bit on
the end of the big trunk with his crayat
pin.
quickly away.
AS usual. the following Sunday Stanley
went to the menagerie. This time he had
lots Of sugar for his friend. Big Ton think
ing he had surely forgotten the trick play
ed on him the Sunday before.
Elephants have good memories. When
Big Tom saw Stanley coming he filed his
trunk with water. Just as Stanley was
about to offer him the usual lump of sugar
he blew the water all over Stanley, and
then knocked him down.
The keepers hastened to his assistance,
eayine he must have done some harm to
the elephant. for BIZ Tom was very fond
OF children.
Scared and crying bitterly. Stanley told
his father and the keepers the trick he had
played on Big Tom the Sunday before. and
promised never again to tsass animals for
finn
