| little girl, and I shall certainly tell your
mother what a thoughtful son | think she
| has And if her father thinks 1t safe. we
will be glad to accept your invitation.
Mr. Carter who knew Laurfes family,
pronounced him a most careful and trust
worthy boy.
The next day the postman brought let
ter to Pamela. It said:
Dear little girl in the window: We want
you to have some of our fun, and will call
for you Saturday morning to go tobogsan-
| ing with us. Please don't say no.
SOME OF THE GIRLS AND BOYS FROM
| DR. GOODKINS SCHOOL"
| A~more delighted little girl than Pamela
| would be hard to find; even If papa and
| mamma had not given their consent, she
| had been asked by real live girls and boys
who could run and jump and Climb" and
tie cripple. If she had only known it. there
| was not a little girl within five miles who
was not wild for an invitation to ride on
| Laurie Kings toboggan.
Bundled up almost as tight little In
| dian papoose, Pamela was carried out and
carefully seated on the tobaggan: the
| crutches were left behind and she felt like
a fairy princess she sped along drawn
| by five prancing horses.
When old Turnpike Hill was reached her
cheeks We're as red as roses, and after once
whizzing down the long, smooth Hill. she
fet that she could almost get up and walk
with the others.
Back they raced to the top Of the hill
with the cripple Fairy Queen. as she called
over they sped down. guided by Laurie as
straight as If they were running cable.
Before they realized it. the noon bells rang,
and off they scampered toward home.
Mr. Carter met them at the gate, and
whispering few words in Pamelas ear,
he held her still in his arms minute.
TITS been the very happiest morning of
all my whole life. she sad, her eyes shin
ing and her voice trembling little, and
papa says I'm to ask you all in to lunch
con-"
"Hurrah!' cried the boys.
And he has sent word to all your
Mothers continued Pamela, at which the
little girls drew signs of relief, for they
were SO afraid they would have to refuse.
Then a happy procession 70 lowed Mr. |
Carter in and devoured chicken and hot |
chocolate and waffles until they nearly |
burst, and little Pamela forgot she was |
lame and not like others in her endeavors |
to entertain them. They had royal good fun /
and played games till almost time for the |
sun to set.
Papa" said Pamela. as her father car |
ried her up to bed. Il don't believe it makes |
bit of difference if your feet are not like |
other children's feet-it is your heart that |
counts
And her father held her close and kissed |
her several times to show that he agreed.

Clever Pussy.

Some people say that cats are stupid and
can't learn anything by themselves.
know better. Just listen to this:
friend of mine had a cat who was
most intelligent and exceedingly playful.
Ny friends cousin. Mr.. Brown, used to
call every Sunday afternoon. and always
amused Kitty by tying a piece Of paper on
long string and whisking it rapidly
around the room. The cat, in transports of
delight would rush madly after this, never
quite being able to catch it. Mr.. Brown
amused his small friend thus for several
weeks, and finally one Sunday ne called,
and Kitty without any hesitation brought
him a small piece of paper in her mouth
and laid it demurely at his feet. Then
she sat quietly down. fastened her round,
green eyes intently on him, and you may
be sure it didn't take Mr.. Brown long to
understand that she wanted the accustom-
ed performance to begin.
Pussy did this regularly for several
months, and then finally seemed to tire
of the game, for suddenly she stopped
and never begged for that special form of
amusement again. Some people said she
forgot the trick. but l think as she grew
older she realized that such frivoiities were
only intended for very young and foolish
kittens.

Foolish child, there are really no blue
roses. When the king and his subjects are
in their right minds and look only through
rose-colored glasses things will be the color
Mother Nature intended they should be and
no one will desire more. And what is more
beautiful than red, red roses?
Roses red and violets blue chimed in
Polly.
That sounds right said Pimpanello. So
he and the princess bade the sorceress of
sorrows good-by, and in much shorter
time than it took to come. they were back
at the castle gate Angelaura had pair
of rose-colored spectacles in her pocket.
His majesty the king was in a towering
passion when he heard that the Blue Ruby
was red and ordered Pimpanelos head off
at once for of course, 1t would never do
to punish the princess. But before 1t could
be done, Angelaura stole round behind the
throne and climbing on the ruEgs at the
back leaned over till she could grab the
kings whiskers. Then she held him fast
while she took off his blue spectaces and
put the -colored ones on and the court
stood open-mouthed at her daring.
In a second everything was changed. The
kings temper, which he had lost. crept
back into his waistcoat pocket, or wherever
kings keep their tempers. and he thought
the ruby the most beautiful thing he had
ever seen, and all the court was good-na-
tured and smiling
No one was more happy than Pimpanel-
10. for the king allowed him to do as he
pleased. and he Immediately chose to go
back to his flowers that he loved so well.
And did the princess marry him?
/ cannot tell you because they were both
too young TO think about such things The
little. buttery-maid was changed into
maid of honor, and she and the princess
spent much time in the gardens, helping
Pimpanello sow the seed of all sorts OF
good things which made the kingdom the
happest Kingdom in the world.

Little Pamela.
BY MAUD SEMALEAR.

Pamela Carter was what Nanny called
an invalid chile In Pheasant weather she
went out of doors and walked steadily
about on her little cruit ches, but she could
never jump and run and play like other
girls and boys or have any of the fun that
they had, and in the winter she dared not
trust her clutches on the slippery ground.
She spent her time indoors, either studying
with her governess, playing dolls read
ing And because she had had no exercise.
her little body was pinched and thin, and
her rosy face, with it's sweet smile, was the
only healthy part of her.
She never complained, and if she envied
the other girls, she was the only one who
knew it.
Perhaps 1t made her life all the harder
to live on School street. where gay throngs
Of children passed each day. going joy
ously to and from DIR. Goodkln's school,
Their bodies were strong and 1.-THE, and
they played and danced up the street,
with sometimes nod and a smile to the
little figure in the window. Pamela al
ways watched them with CHEEKY smile
on her lips and waved her hand in an
swer to their greeting. Her crutches were
hidden carefully behind the curtains, SO
that no one should know her trouble and
be troubled by it.
HI. Curlyhair." she heard a boy call to
her one day. why don't you come to
school. little Miss Know-it-all? You think
Little Pamela flushed with pain-not in
her crooked limbs. but in her heart; but
she smiled lust the same.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself,
Laurie King! exclaimed a little girl be-
hind the boy. when poor Pamela Carter

"Miserable?" echoed Laurie and the
others who were swinging along together.
She looks lust about as miserable as 1

Little Miss Prim

And If she did not
Oh my, hear her cry"
Laurie King, stop it, cried the little
girl who had reproved him before. IT'S
a sin for you to mock Pamela Carter. She
is a poor little cripple"
Laurie dropped his mincing step and
looked around.

are you making game of me?''

ly. MY mother knows hers. and I heard
mother say only yesterday that it was the
saddest case she ever heard Of And 1 am
going in to see her some afternoon soon
Mother says she is always sweet and
good and unselfish that everybody loves
her.
Laurie was silent all the way home. Was
1t possible that any little girl could bear
such pain and affliction, and yet be as
at the window? He was sorry for his taunt-
ing words. and he wondered what he could
do to make her life more attractiv
One bright day not long after this Laurie
p,odded through a hard snow storm to the
Carter house and rang the bell. When he
had done that much he felt Ike running
away before the door was opened. and 1
almost believe he would have done it if the
door had not been opened very quickly. Mrs.
Carter saw his embarrassment, and in a

from a cleft in the rocks which led into a
cave
Pimpanello knocked to ask shelter for
the princess.
and they found themselves entering a
large room carved in the rock. The light
was bright al first that they could see
nothing but as they became accustomed
to it. they saw on sort of throne
black haired, bright-eyed woman, with a
parrot by her side.
PIN and the princess bowed low before
her. and the parrot called welcome, stran-
gers,''
PIN begged for shelter for the princess,
and to his surprise the parrot chartered:
'Pimpanello, Princess Angelaura, sorceress
of sorrows' as II it were introducing them.
The sorceress was SO sympathetic that
PIN and the princess soon told her the
story.
Il am first cousin to the queen of the
fairies, said the sorceress of sorrows. Il
am sorry that you cannot find the fairies
they have all gone on picnic and will not
be back in this part of the country for a
MONTH
The princess began to cry. "Oh me, oh
my and l have stolen the Blue Ruby and
Pimpanello's head will be the forfeit"
Not if you confess" said the sorceress
of sorrows. Let me see the Blue Ruby
The princess dried her eyes and smiled
again. Then taking little bag of soft
doeskin which was suspended from her
neck by threads OF gold, she took out the
Blue Ruby.
Lo and behold it was red.
The sorceress smiled at their surprise.
1.-The king has worn blue glasses for so
long," she said, that 1t makes him blue,
and all his subjects are blue from his in
fuenee. Give him pair af rose-colored
spectacles my dear. and Re will see things
In their true light of bright beauty and
happiness"
And the blue roses?" asked the princess.

about stones than you care to tell
All PINS protests were in vain. He tried
TO explain that the fairies helped him Sc
cure the blue roses, but no one would be-
lieve him, for one believed in fairies ex-
cept the princess, and she was so young
she was not supposed to be wise.
Fairies your grandmother" cried the
irate king. when PIN was brought before
him to make a confession.
Yes. sire replied PIN That is all
my grandmother left me-a belief that the
fairies would come to my aid if l were

STUFF and rubbish roared the irate
king. IF you do not find the Blue Ruby
and put II back within a fortnight your
head shall come off,"
PIN was led to the castle gates and
turned outside
His feelings were deeply hurt. but he
was not the sort OF boy to be discour
aged. He did not even sit down by the
wayside and shed few tears. but started
his search for the missing Blue Ruby.
Perhaps it a relief to get away from
the castle where every one was g UNI and
morose. AS he passed along the read by
the wood the sound of voice made him
pause for a minute. Some one was call
ing him.

asleep; therefore he knew not which way

he forged ahead. for he knew that when

Bedtime Verses.

When my great-grandma went TO bed
In cap and gown so trim.
A tallow candle for her shed
lis light so weird and dim.
And when my grandma went to bed.
Dressed In her robes Of white.

A bright yet wavering light
And when my mamma went to bed

She took a match and reached, she said
High up TO light the gas.

The Truants.
BY CLARA ODELL LYON.

Four funny, fnny fishes
Disobeyed their mothers wishes.
When she went to get for them some needed food.
Stay just here. my sons and daughters.
Go not into other waters;
You must promise me, my children to be good. -
Wee. maynard. wicked Willie,
Who very weak and silly.
That very morning ran away from school,
For he wanted to go fishing.
And he couldn't keep from wishing
To lie down beside the shady fishing pool
But four fishes in the river
Made him shake ard made him SILVER;
For they gazed at him with great, reproachfui
eyes
His desire TO fish they banished,
While his rod and tackle vanished
As he shriekcd aloud with terror and surprise
This so dismayed the others,
Who had dsobeyed their mothers
Strict commandment, that they turned their tails
and fed;
And they vowed they were fleeing
To escape this awful being
That hereafter they would do as mother said.

a Japanese named Nita had his home.
His house was built almost at the edge
of a pail, at the foot of an earth cut.
The continued downpour must have
loosened the earth for during the night
a large section of the bank gave way
and the Japanese house was over
