The Unearned Prize

A IL along Josephine had neen bragg A ging of the big prizes she was go- \ ing to win st the end of the school term. But she knew herself that she would be lucky to win any at all. for she hadn't been very diligent in her studies.
 Once that Josephine had begun to de- ceive. she felt she must carry 1t through at any cost.
 The tables were all arranged with the prizes. mostly books. to be awarded on the morrow. Thinking, that the room was deserted. Josephine crept iI, and looked over the prizes. Seeing that she was awarded one little book. and that her greatest enemy, Jeannette. had won a good-sized bundle of them. she just changed the cards that bore their names. tor had seen this act, and hey immedl- ately told the principal Of the schoot
 Josephine was surprised when Jean- nette's name was called, to see her gwen the prize rightfully belonging to her. But when her own name was announced the entire company assembled was told how Josephine had attempted to steal another's reward; for this she fVst even the one little book.
 She was truly penitent, however, and if is likely that she will merit even a greater number of books than Jeannetto had last year, for Josephine is no longer idle.

 Today Robbie felt less like eating 1t than ever before. At last he guiped it down and walked slowly from the table. He had been so very naughty that mother sent him to his room to think over what ne had said.
 Like e little thunder cloud he looked -.-not at all the bright. cheerful boy ho should have been.
 "only wish would grow. SO I wouldn't need to eat any more of that nasty soup." he rnuttered.
 Just then he saw before him a pair of scissors.
 sWonder if I couldn't make mother believe have grown a little." he said to himself.
 Without thinking how very wrong it was to deceive his mother, Robbie carefuiIy cut q little strip from the bottoms of his trousers and from his sleeves.

 Elsie really wasn't tired at all If the truth be told, she was just lazy. Unfortunately for her. her father was very wealthy. and she had her every wish gratified.
 Naturally, after living in this way for so long Elsie became vdfy pale. and unhealthy. Her father began to be alarmed. He thought long and deeply over the matter. but he spoke to no one of his intentions.
 "Elsie. I want you to take walk in the park tomorrow morning" said he to his daughter one evening.
 MT. Reynolds spoke so sharply that Elsie did not dare reply. nor could she disobey.
 The next morning she sauntered slowly out to the park. She soon grew tired and sat down upon a bench.
 Hardly was she seated when man walked rapidly up to her.
 "Are you not Miss Elsie Reynoldsr he asked.
 Upon receiving her answer. he com tinued:
 "Then you are to accompany me, ac- cording to the instructions of your father' whose card l have" With some misgivings Elsie rose.

 They strode along together for . long time. having no use at all for their spears. until a little hut ap- peared before them.
 Let us see if we may not obtain re- freshment here." suggested Lupi.
 Knocking at the door an old woman opened it and invited the strangers in. setting before them meat and drink.
 Now. just before Aoki drank, Lupi dropped in the goblet some magic sleeping powder.
 For some time they ate and drank. Then, greatly refreshed. the two went on their way.

What a remarkable summons this was! Somehow she connected 1t with her fathers strange. absent-minded manner during the last few days
 The man directed his steps toward the railroad station. and to Elsie's surprise they boarded train which soon drew up.
 Once on board, Elsie had time for re- nection. She began to blame herself for having been so nasty to come with the strange man. The more she thought about 1t the more she was convinced that she had been kidnapped. She would have cried out for help had she not been too frightened.
 Quite a number of miles had they gone when the man beckoned her to follow, and they stepped off at little village containing not more than dozen houses.
 Another man whom Elsie was inform ed was Mir. Jones. nowScame forward. Elsie was bundled into an old farm wagon and jolted along the dusty road until a large farmhouse was reached.
 A crowd of bright healthy looking boys and girls put in an appearance and Elsie was introduced to all of them
 Not one word of explanation couid sne obtain, however. about her entoreSu visit although in every way ehe Iamiiy was just as kind as kind could be-.
 Elsie really began to enjoy this nIe ln the country. She romped and troHickeo -ahout with the rest and was soon look ing as rosy and healthy as any ot them.
 She was very homesiek. however, 50 that you can imagine what a 1oyiut welcome she gave her father when ne drove up to the farmhouse one day.
 T felt rather sorry at first that l adopted such rough cure for your laziness, but the doctor said 1t would not hurt you, and. indeed. I'm not the least sorry now" said he.
 Elsie no longer remains in idleness. She takes lots of healthful exercise, so that now time does not hang heavily on her hands. She never says, "Oh, dear; I'm too tired to do it!''

 For many days Aolxi served the Anger god as a weapon. He would be hurled among the birds. or at beasts. always raturninw to the god after striking the prey.
 But with the last throw the god was just the least bit careless. and the ooon- erang. instead of coming back to the aane spot from which it was thrown, dropned amid the dense thickets. where the Anger-god searched vainly for it.
 For long time Aoki lay among the bushes. stiff and immovable. Then there came Q little animal. who' perhaps, imagining here was a meal for him.
