Philip and Bessie reiterated 10 the

older ones sat reading. although all
seemed uncomfortable because the
little ones were unhappy
Suddenly Edith put down her book
and left the room. A few minutes
later a peal of childish laughter rang
out.

children!" said Mr.. Dale, looking re-
lieved as the laugh rang out again.

Dale

Now, it so happened that the next
day was Mr.. Dale's birthday, and
when he came down in the morning
he found upon his chair covered
basket. To it's handle was tied a
card: For dear papa. With love
from Philip and Bessie Many happy

the basket. Then the cover stirred,
and up poked Cata's little black face!
Papa sat Gaia on his shoulder, and
laughed till the tears came.

called to the children, peeping in at
the door. "A man can't refuse his
own birthday present"
So the three Popocatapetls stayed
with the Dales and were happy ever
after.
