the door, but no one seemed to hear.
 Laura stood stiffiy in one corner. while Elsie occupied another. Neither looked at the other.
 Each minute seemed an hour. It was growing worse and worse. without thinking. Elsie let escape just the be- ginning of a sigh. She checked herseif instantly. But the funny side of their situation had suddenly dawned on Lau- ra, and she couldn't help smiling. Nor could Laura forbear smiling in return.
 Both faces became serious again al- most immediately. but the smile had done its work, and when Harry opened the door. a moment later. each little girl felt SO happy that 1t was hard. in- deed, to look solemn.
 All sorts of delightful games were played, but no one was permitted to smile or speak a word until the end.
 Then Harry, who had been watching Laura and Elsie. suddenly burst into . hearty laugh.
 I've got to, or I'll burst" he shout ed. and off he went into a succession of spasms.
 Glad to know you're amused" said Elsie loftily.
 Harry's only answer was another gulf flaw.
 Since Harry has to pay the forfeit, we may all talk now." smilinsly re- marked Marian.
 In parting. she said to the group: Don't you think it's silly to be sad and solemn when you might enjoy yourself with your friends?"
 If you're speaking of me-" replied Elsie, cheerfully. you refer to the wrong person. for I'm not in the least sad"
 .'Nor l." broke in Laura. Then and there they clasped hands and kissed each other. AS the boys and girls de- parted they agreed that the party had been a grand success. but 1t is safe to say that none was happier than Laura or Elsie.

A Caseless Zoo
N HAMBURG. Germany. a ZOO h

TN HAMBURG. Germany. a zoo has tust been completed in which the l animals are permitted to roam about without a single cage to connne them.
 Don't you think you'd be somewhat frightened to see lion staring at you a short distance away!
 There really Is no danger. various plots of ground are surroundeo py deep ditches. impossible to the ani- mals. so that one kind of animal is protected from the other.
 Carl Hagenbeck was the builder or this great zoo, which now occupies thirty-six acres of ground. No less than 500 wild beasts are sheltered here, including fifty-seven lions. seven Bengal tigers, three African eie- phants, nine baby elephants. four 1n- dian rhinoceroses. ten zebras, five gi- raffes. leopards. ostriches. antelopes. mountain sheep. deer and many other animals.
 Were you to be guided through the grounds, in places you would believe yourself transported to Africa or 1n- dia.
 One plot has the appearance of a miniature SWltzeriano' wten c. .u =. mountains and rocks. over which the mountain deer and sheep climb ana leap with great agility.
 You turn in another direction, and you imagine yourself In the Arctics. Some fine polar bears appear to be climbing icebergs, the great chunks of ice floating in a large basin. in which may also be seen seals, sea- lions, penguins and gulls. Reindeer and other animals roam nearby.
 Would you not like to see such zoo? Perhaps you may some time.

A Spanish School

! WAS while visiting in Granada that Leonard Williams came across school in which. at first sight, the pupils seemed to be playing. He soon found. however, that they were dili- gently following their studies and learn ing them well. at that.
 He was shown across a rustic bridge into what appeared to be a playground. Some benches were ranged along one side. On these about ninety little boys and girls were learning to count.
 The middle of the space before the benches was not level. but here it was raised slightly. and there hollowed.
 The padre. or teacher. pointed to this space and explained:
 Here we have a map of Spain. with all its mountains and all it's valleys" Then he came near the row of benches. and called. Antonio Torresf
 An eager-looking boy started up. pull ing off his cap.

A Greedy Fish

"HIs incident really happened only

 The pike saw MT. Bullhead quietly swimming toward him. Now. the pike was a monster, while the other weighed but half pound
 Here comes my breakfast" said MT. Pike to himself.

 But the victim did not give up so easily. Ruf1ing the sharp thorn-ike spihes on either side .oht of his I head S,d 80 ernv he stayed in that position; nor would he move in or out.

<<VTS TOO bad that Laura and Elsie
 won't be friends!' Marian gave
 such a deep. piteous sigh that vou felt sorrier for her than for the two who were enemies.
 She dearly loved to see every one happy. It was always Marian who patched up the little quarrels that sprang up between her friends. This won for her the name of 'The Peace maker" No one ever quarreled with Marian.
 The enmity between Laura and Elsie provided her with the most stubborn case she had ever tried to remedy. Two weeks had passed; still the girls refused to become friends.
 Next day both Laura and Elsie re- ceiyed invitations to 0 strange kind Of party Marian was to give within the next few days. She explained that not one word was to be said at the gath ering, and that each boy and girl was to look as sad as possible.
 Harry. Marians brother. was taken into her confidence. He promised faith fully to do his part.
 Perhaps Harry could have told how it was that Laura and Elsie found themselves together in the cloakroom when they arrived the evening of tho party. And 1t is probable that he knew how the door had been locked when Laura, seeking to pass hastily from the room. found 1t closed against her.

 All at once the nightingale became little brook. The brooks. which heretofore were silent. now murmured softly and musically. but the vain nightingale no longer burst into elori- ous melody of song.
