 Good idea! will." cried Mr. Bunny.
 So he tied his very best ribbon round his neck and took his very best cane and started off, AS Mrs. Bunny saw him disappear over the fence she thought to herself that she had never seen so slim and graceful and handsome a rabbit. She felt sorry for having scolded him so roughly.
 MT. Bunny arrived in good time at the house of Uncle Peter Rabbit. Uncle welcomed him gladly.
 For several weeks the two led a gay life together. MT. Bunny ate so much and took so little exercise that he became plump and round and lazy
 At last MT. Bunny. after saying good to Uncle Peter Rabbit, started for home.
 He reached the tidy little burrow. but found, to his sorrow. that he had grown too fat to squeeze through the hole.
 Mrs. Bunny heard the noise and came out.
 How are you. my dear?" asked MT. Bunny, affectionately

Come in or the cat will get you!" cried Tim.
 T can't swim." moaned the chick. in despair.
 Its easy enough" said Tim. Then he remembered that his mother had told him that chickens were too stupid to ever learn to swim.
 The next moment Tim had reached the bank. Jump upon my back, quick ly." he told the chick. The chick did so. and the duckling hastily swam out upon the stream just as Tabby arrived at the bank.
 Tim swam to the other shore and they were once more on land.
 The chick thanked him again and again. For a long time they watched for Tabby to go away. They were both hungry. but neither had ever hunted for food all by himself. so they could find hardly nothing.

 Mrs. Bunny replied: MT. Bunny. indeed! l tell you that Mir. Bunny Is slim, and handsome, and not ridicu- lously fat and puffy as you are"
 In vain. MT. Bunny argued. He was turned from the door.
 When my slim, handsome MT. Bun ny comes. will let him in, but no fat rabbit like you can come into my home." Mrs. Bunny had said. in part ing.
 So MT. Bunny ran round and round the cabbage patch. It was hot work, and the precipitation rolled from him in streams. but he kept at it until Mrs. Bunny at last believed he was thin enough to be her husband
 MT. Bunny had learned his lesson He never again became lazy. and so never grew fat.

AMONG THE CHICKS

TIMS mother was sure he would
 come to grief sooner or later.
 He was such daring little duck ling, always getting into mischief.
 Hardly had he come out of his shell when he asked Mrs. Duck if he might not travel out into the world.
 No. my dear. there is yet a great deal for you to learn before you will Mrs. Duck.
 But when Tim could swim quite fast he said to himself that now he could surely pass through any danger that might befall him. So away he started. one bright morning when his mother wasn't watching. Sad to say. Tim wasn't very obedient duckling. But then, he knew so much better than his mother what was right.
 T shall go all the way around the world.' he declared. boastfully. What's the use of staying at home and never seeing anything?" On he walked. right merrily. eagerly drinking in all that he saw.
 Presently Tim found himself among brood of chicks. each about the same size as himself
 The old hen looked at him and asked. Where is your mother. little duck ling?"
 T have left my mother and am now on my way around the world" answered Tim. proudly.
 Mrs. Hen cackled scornfully Better go home while you know the way" she advised Then she paid him no further attention.
 But the other chicks all danced around him. chirping mockingly. At last Tim grew frightened. He dashed through the circle and ran as fast as he could . One little chick ran after him and soon caught up with him. Growing bolder. now that there was only one of his enemy. Tim turned. The fight was on in good earnest
 Just then they happened to look up Tim saw a great big animal, with im- mense eyes and a waving tail, crawl ing toward them.
 Its the cat" squealed the chick. and away he ran.
 The duckling followed. Right before them was a path leading to a pond. In a second they had reached the water edge. Tim jumped in and was safe. On the brink stood the chick. shiver- ing with fear.

THERE is kingdom situated in &

 For this reason, you may know, 1t is not at all up-to-date in many of it's customs.
 The king had sent his daughter to Paris to study. When she returned she was wiser than the wisest in the kingdom.
 It was decided by his majesty that the princess should marry. This she was willing to do. for she dearly loved a young nobleman. who returned her affection. The kings preference. how- ever, was either the minister of state or the commander in chief of the armies. both of whom sought her hand.
 Let us test their sincerity" pleaded the princess; 'and he that best shows his devotion will I marry
 To this the king agreed, and the three suitors were summoned to ap- pear.
 As they appeared. the princess hand ed to each a photographic film. Wear this" said she to each. "upon your breast. and in two weeks return to me-"
 Now the three had never heard of photography, and so went on their way wondering.
 It was the custom in this country for every man to bare himself to his

waist and ascend to his housetop morning and afternoon to pray for the royal family.
 The young nobleman was always faithful in his prayers for the prin- cess. Now he was doubly SO. The minister of state prayed for a minute every three days. and the general about once a week.
 In two weeks time the three again appeared before the king. The prin- cess had asked him beforehand to have each bare his breast and remove the film.
 And. 10! on the breast of the general there appeared a sort of blur. On the breast of the minister could be seen what seemed to be the picture of the princess. though very faint. But on the young nobleman's breast was the princess portrait. strong and clear.
 You see, all the times he had gone to his housetop to pray the sun was printing the picture on his breast; while the sun had little chance to act upon thu other two films.
 But the king. knowing nothing of this, marveled "Here.Y he thought, lis true devotion. The young man has thought so much of the princess that the magic plaster has printed her in- age on his breast"

 Tabby finally slunk away. Again Tim carried the chick across the stream. Then he would have gone away. but the chick pleaded that he come along and see Mrs. Hen.
 Mrs. Hen was grateful. indeed. to Tim. And when Tim shamefacedly con- fessed that he would like very much to go home. she very kindly led him back to Mrs. Duck.
 Tim was glad enough to go home. I can tell you. Thereafter he obeyed his mother. and went only where she said he could go. He knew now that she knew much more of the world than he.

Pelican and Crane

THE pelican plunged his bill down.
 ward into the water and brought
 up a fine fish. Right beside him stood the crane.
 By the way, did you ever hear the story of the fox and the cheese?" asked the crane.
 The pelican paused in his meal. the fish still squirming in his bill. He shook his head.
 "A crow once stole a piece of very fine cheese. Flying with 1t to a tree, he was about to eat 1t. when he espied MT. Reynard underneath the tree.
 ''The fox straightway began to praise the crow. and, at last, begged for one of his charming songs. So pleased was the foolish crow with these compliments that he opened his bill to sing, when, To! the cheese dropped from it into the jaws of MT. Reynard, who then trotted contentedly away"
 The pelican looked at the crane for e moment. Then he opened wide his great bill in a hearty guffaw. An instant, and the crane had inserted his long bill and had drawn from that of the pelican the wrigging fish.
 Certainly the crow of the fable could not have looked more shamefacedly around him than did the pelican.
