the crafty gleam of his bright eyes, which
quickly showed that his knship to the mild

And then it was Raph's turn to tell Of

and by no means pleasant, as felt trlfe

being received in the same friendly spirit with
which they were given.
Have you ever stood before the cage of the
awny-coated leopard which has her home in
Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, in the Zoo!
She is a handsome creature but SO treacher-
GUS and cruel.
Imagine, if you can, mother eating up
her babies, and yet this is just what Madam
Leopard has done before, and would have
done again had these little ones been left in
her care.
This her keeper knew. and so when the
baby 1eopards, three months ago, appeared
upon the scene, he lost no time in taking
them away from her, in order to save them
from being devoured.
just what to do with these valuable but de-
cidedely troublesome pets was the question.
Finally Mr. Manly, one of the keepers, offered
to look after the welfare Of the motherless
pair until they were old enough toebe trusted
alone, and the first thing he did was to turn
the baby leopards over to his wife.
"About ten weeks ago." said she, "my
husband brought home a small hand satchel,
which he told me to open. l did so, and
found two small, puffy balls of fur curled up,
looking like a couple of kittens, which
promptly christened Dick and Dot. Yes, they

Altogether Ralph proved very pleasant ac
quaintance, and when, at the sound of Aunt
Prue's voice calling her nieces, their neighbor
made a rapid retreat over the wall, it was
with the promise to come again as soon as cir
cumstances would permit.
But circumstances were to change very ma
terially for Trix and Tessie this afternoon.
Aunt Prue was awaiting for them on the
teen-a tall, pale girl, with reddish hair, drawn
back from freckled forehead, and small, gray
eyes. She wore faded lawn Dress faded
ribbon on her hair, and looked faded and
washed out altogether.
"Beatrix and Therese, this is your cousin,

Trix assented, and Ralph came down and
was soon fast friends with Aunt Prues little
prisoners.
He didn't care much for girls as general
thing, but all the fellows were out of town,
and even his dog had been sent to Uncle
Jacks" for the summer; and then these girls,
Trix especially, were very different from any
girls he had ever known before.
Ralphs eyes opened as she talked of boat
ing and fshing-as she told about the loss of
the Mayfower and their night in the haunt
ed cave.
''Wen never have any such good times
again" concluded Trix, with sigh.
'T rather guess you won't, if my lady up
there has anything to say about it." said
