Little Buzzer-Bing was only a small fly,

zoo In Central Park New York city. He
was one of many hundred thousands; but
he kept to himself. not caring to asso.
ciate with any of his winged kind.
Buzzer Bling soon became acquainted
with many of the large and dangerous
animals that were held prisoners in
heavily ironed cages at the zoo; and those
same large and dangerous animals came
to know Buzzer Bling, TO their great an
noyance and vexation of spirit. One
great, beautiful Bengal tlgress was the
especial prey of Buzzer-Bing on warm
mornings when Madam Tigress wanted
to put her head on her paws and sleep.
Then 1t was that Buzzer-Bing would fly
silently to her ear, creep inside and nip
nip as hard as he could. And how Mad
am Tigress would jump, snarl and throw
her paws to her stinging ear. But never
once could she touch the nimble Buzzer-
Bling. who would sail away through the
air, singing as gaily as you please. And
Just as Madam Tigress would again lay
her head down on her paws to rest the
little teaser would creep on her back
to a place where Madam Tigress could
not touch him-and bury his nipper into
her warm flesh. Then, with n snarl of
rage, Madam Tigress would spring to her
feet. leap round and round, bending her
head backward, trying to set teeth on her
small tormentor.
One day, Just after Buzzer-Bing had
been having a jolly time teasing Madam
Tigress. he perched himself on a top bar
Of her cage and began to watch the
crowd of people and children who were
passing In front of the cages.

"And she'd take 1t between her teeth, :"
laughed another of the group.
Then they passed on to the lions house,
and Buzzer-Bing sat wondering at the
words of those big boys. one of whom
could put Buzzer-Bing out of business
with the end Of his thumb--if he could
catch him. And there was he. Just a

And so Thomas Perkins was installed in

the day following their finding of him his
poor mother was buried by the city, no
one being able to locate any of her rela-

same tenement house knew Mrs. Perkins
to be sickly, though very industrious
woman, doing plain sewing for living
for herself and little Thomas. Once or
twice she had spoken of her husband, who
had gone the year before to the gold
fields OF Alaska. But only one letter was
ever received from him, and the poor
woman, after using up the little fund he
had left with her, was thrown upon her
own resources. She fought bravely and
