thought of something. That "something' wore blue clothes and brass buttons. She would find a policeman. and then all would be well. So she started on run down the road, expecting to see an officer at every turn. But none came Into sight At last, tears streaming down her checks she paused beside the road, leaning against tree in her despair. The day was growing late, and Bettie began to wonder where she should spend the night Suppose after dark some of those great animals should be turned loose to wander about till morningl The thought drove fear to her heart She would be DEYOURED! Oh, how she was being punished for having acted so naughtily. But she really had not meant to wander away from her dear ones. She was just planning n little trick-a joke; for how they all would have laughed had she stepped out from the roadway in front of them and waiting in their path, cry ing out: 'I just flew over you and lighted here"
 But now she was being punished for having acted so foolishly. Oh, oh, what would become of-
 "Ah, there you are kiddiel' It was Bricktop's dear voice behind her, and Bettie turned and ran into his arms, drying her tears against his topcoat sleeve. And Cousin Bert was laughing. asking her how she happened to get 'strayed or stolen"
 But Bettie said she couldn't tell them now, but, would do so as soon as they joined the others, which they proceeded to do, the now happy little Miss holding tightly to Bricktop's arm lest she be foolish enough to stray away again. And Bricktop reassured her. saying: You can't lose yourself so that I can't find you. Riddle. My heart leads me always to you"
 And no wonder Bricktop was hero in the sight of the Twins.

 ''Oh. no, no.' exclaimed Dolly. You can begin being a martyr right away this afternoon"
 'Howf" asked Den
 .'By studying" explained Dolly, sol emnly. Get your lessons, Den. and then you'll be martyr. You just hate study like poison-I know. for you feel toward books just like l do. But I've made up my mind that it's RIGHT to study and be wise; so l do 1t. although it's some times worse than toothache. But being q martyr gets quite easy after awhile, and you soon learn to like it.
 Then you aren't martyr any long er?' declared Den. ''To be q martyr you must not like doing a thing must you?'

 Tt will be awful hard 10 do if" said Den. shaking his head slowly.
 But you CAN" said Dolly. hopefully. Then you'll never get scolded by Teach CT and never have to stay in after school. either"
 Den began to rather like the Idea, so he promised Dolly as they parted at her gate that he'd begin that afternoon his crusade against the bad-boy part of him by making the good-boy part of him a martyr.

 Oh, the wonders the children sawl Elephants, rhlnoceroses, hippopotaml Hons, tigers, leopards, zebras, camels. glraffes, elk, reindeer, wolves, foxes, bears, monkeys and fowls of every con. ceivable shape and size In fact, they wondered how so many kinds of animals and birds could live so harmoniously in that little town lcalled the Zoo.
 At noon they went Into a restaurant on the grounds for luncheon. They sat and chatted and laughed and listened 10 merry jokes and funny stories from their uncle. who was as young as the youngest of them, during the meal. Then, quite rested after an hour spent fin social in- tercourse and refreshed by a good meal, they set out to explore the park on foot. By paths leading under archways, past lakes, over bridges across hiltops. through raYines into valleys did they rambe; tall trees, bare of branch in the crisp winter air. rearing their stately forms about them. Here and there lay soft, white patches of snow, not melted from the light fall of the night previous.

But we were very anxious, Indeed. for we knew how he would worry about us. We hoped he might go on the ferry, but he did not Sister and I looked all about the boat for him, but nowhere was he to be seen. Then we asked a police man how 10 reach uncle's home, and he put us in a cab and told the driver to take us there. Auntie was so rickled to see us. It turned out all right about Bricktop. Cousin met him and they phoned to aunt about us, and she was most happy to tell them that we had just ridden up in a hanson in very great style.
 Aunt and uncle and Cousin Bert gave us such a warm welcome. Uncle and aunt go away tomorrow, 10 be gone two weeks. Aunt Minnie remains to look after the house. What a splendid time we'll have when the house Is all ours. But well not be rude or noisy, dear mama, so don't worry about our conduct after aunt Is gone.

Den was healthy, vigorous little chap of 10. He loved to play from the minute he swallowed the last bite of his break fast till the very last minute he could possibly delay before taking the first bite of his supper Of course, he always will lngly gave himself time at monday to eat his dinner. but, counting of these three resting periods for taking sus tenance, Den loved to put In the entire day between morning and night at play. Nor was he at all particular about the form of amusement F engaged in, for Den loved every game he had ever par tlcipated In, and was ever alert to learn new ones Marbles, shlnney, ball. hide and -go-seek, tag-in fact, all were alike enjoyable to Den.
 But summer lasted only such a little while; then with the fall came school, which Den blushed to confess to himself he did not like. Of course, he wanted very much to be a great man some day, but that time seemed such long way off that Den half fancled at times 1t would uabe time in boring over books when he might be at play? There was the woods full of beautifully coored leaves in the fall, and the ground covered with nuts which might be had by the mere picking. H- <en followed the cold weather, bringing the frost and snow-oh, the snowl How Den loved to be out In it. And there were always so manr rabbits to be tracked over It's soft white surface, and squirrels to be seen peeping from their cozy homes in the great hollows of trees. And the ice. What sport could compare with skating on nice smooth pond or river?
 So thought little Den as he sat at his desk Ia school. his big geography open befoxe him. but his eyes turned toward the window, through which he could see the snow-covered hill 10 the porthward, flown whose slippery side was the finest roasting one could wish for.
 ''Dennisl' The teachers voice was em- phatic, and Den almost jumped from his seat, he was so suddenly called from his reyeries to the commonplace things of he schoolroom. "Yes'm," he replied. his round. freckled face taking on an extra piukness.

step-Aunt suggested that they return home ani save themselves for another day. As they went along they came to pretty rustic bridge spanning a driveway which ran almost parallel with the path they were following sudden desire to play a trick on the party seized Bettie, and, dropping behind unnoticed, she stepped In the shadow of n great tree that grew near the pathway. On went her companions not missing her. As soon as they had turned a corner and were lost to view Bettie ran down the messy bank leading to the bridged road way, intending to join them at the next turn in the path, for she had no Idea but what the road continued In company with the path her companions were following.
 After a rev minutes Lettie missed her sister and gave the alarm. "oh, where's Bettie2" she cried, stopping and looking behind. Then everyone became anxious, Uncle appointing the boys to go back to look for her while he would go on toward the gate for the purpose of meet ing il policeman, to whom he would re- port the lost child. Aunt Agnes and IettIe were to remain where they wers with the hope of seeing Bettie coming on one of the many paths that led into the main one at this spot. And so the search began.
 And while the anxious ones were hunt ing for Bettie she began to hunt for them, for pretty soon she found herself in n strange part of the park, lonely and wild. with huge boulders shutting her In on one side and q wall on the other. Then she became alarmed and knew that the road she had taken had led her far from the place where she had anticipated joining her party.
 On she walked, not knowing where to 20 and fearing that every step was carry ing her further from the loved and anxious ones whom she knew were now on the lookout for her. Then Bettie

A Portrait Contest.


A hostess noted for her originality
sent out invitations on red cardboard,
written up and down the page "a la
Chinese" having the usual date and
hour and also portrait contest" in one
corner. When the guests arrived each
one was presented with the figure OF
man in conventional dress, but with
no face. On the back was written the
name Of man whose features were to
be portrayed. Pencils were furnished
and half hour was allotted for the
task. Each artist was to keep his sub
ject secret.
When time was called the creations
were pinned up for the edifcation OF
the company, who were to guess the
originals and put them down In their
catalogues. Then the hostess read the
list Of people who were supposed to
have been drawn and the result was
most amusing. The artist who had
made the best ILLNESSES of the subject
was awarded prize, and to the one
who rightly guessed the most portraits
second prize was given.
A chafing dish supper was served,
and for place cards there were tiny
palettes with a little brush. The
whole affair afforded the keenest
amusement.
