Confessing a Fault

TN THE first place. Beatrice was for
 bidden to look into that particular ! bureau drawer. So that when she drew forth the pretty inkstand, per haps it was the guilty thought that made her hand shake so that the ink stand dropped to the floor and was shattered to pieces.
 Beatrice was naturally very truth full, so she really was surprised at herself when she told her mother that Fluffy, the cat, had done the damage.
 Mother merely shook her head, as though to say that cats didn't open bureau drawers. but she uttered never a word.
 After thinking it all over, however, Beatrice just had to confess.
 Now that you've owned to your fault, won't punish you further" said mother; but you must wear the dress you have on when you go out to play"
 Beatrice looked down at her dress, and there she saw for the first time a big ink spot. You can't imagine how bad she felt when each friend she met asked her about the spot. It reminded her always of her untruth- fitness

cave ran in the same direction as the creek part of the creek flowed right through the cavern, going in at one mouth and out the other, to join the main body of the creek beyond.
 The roof of the cavern was about eight feet high, and along the wall farthest away from the main part of the creek there was a sort of shelf. It was upon this shelf that the boys liked to sit watching the water flowing over the bed of the cave. In the roof of the cave there was little hole. opening all the way upward. Whenever one boy wished to know if another chap was in the cavern he always shouted down this hole
 Now. as Billy had. said. the water of the creek had risen until it was really above the mouth of the tunnel.
 But Skinny knew he could dive through the opening under water. Once inside, he could climb on the shelf out of reach of the water, and the hole in the roof would give him enough air.
 Skinny got through the opening all right, and was soon perched upon the shelf.
 ''This'n be a stunt to talk about" said he, for no Bloody Robber'' had as yet dared enter when the water rose above the entrance and the exit.
 Skinny found 1t so comfortable that before he knew 1t he had fallen asleep.
 Meanwhile another rain came. It was a frightful downpour. Billy ran from his place on the bank of the Bend to the old springhouse nearby, and remained sheltered there until lne storm had passed.
 Then he went in search of Skinny. Arriving at the cavern he was surprised to see Skinny's clothes, thoroughly soaked. on the bank alongside.
 That's mighty funny" said he to himself; wonder if Skinny's there and doesn't know it's been raining?"
 Hello SkinnyY' he shouted down the hole in the roof of the cavern.
 That's funny, tool" muttered Billy, beginning to grow uneasy.
 I'm goin' to see what's the matter" said he with decision.
 Hastily stripping, he dived through the entrance of the cave. high above which the water now splashed. Once within, he rose to the surface, to find that the shelf was barely an inch above
 And there on the shelf lay Skinny, unconscious. a jagged cut in his head, from which blood was steadily flowing.
 Billy was mortified. He was quickly at the side of his comrade. Raising his head Billy shouted, Skinny! Skinny! Wake up!"

All the festivals held in shady bowers ended. and the queen of the fairies called @ meeting, for the mortaIs, having no one to look after them, fell into grievous ways; every thing went wrong. Mortals were even known to lose their tempers and to kill one another.
 One day. when things were very bad a little fairy, who attended the great oak trees. told how she had seen Loki sitting at the entrance of a cave in the pine forest beyond the mountains. The queen called her subjects together, and they started for the deep forest of pines. It took them a long while to find the cave. There sat Loki guarding the en- trance. By their united strength they drove the wicked Lok away and lib- erated Iduna. She came back to her trees, which blossomed anew and bore fruit the fairies drank their delicious blossom wine. and they held a festival and there was great rejoicing.
 Then mortals ate of the fresh fruits and dropped their evil ways, and fol over 100 years things went smoothly.

He Ate All Five

-HE wandering minstrel paused out-
 side the house of the great noble
 \ man, for the savory smell of roasted fowls was borne to him on the air and he was hungry-very hungry indeed.
 To rest himself he calmly sat upon the steps of the nobleman's house. where the nobleman himself came across him few moments later.
 What do you here. caitiff!' roughly demanded the great man.
 But resting. my lord, and dreaming of the fowls smell in wonder kitchen" boldly replied the ragged minstrel, whose harp had already been sold to buy him bread
 The nobleman reflected. "Knave," said he. at last, thou shalt have thy dream realized; thou shalt eat fowl, but unless thou makest way with the whole i've of them l shall roast thee and have thee served for my dinner"
 The five pulle were broue ht in and placed before the minstrel.
 May I give each a name, sir?" ask cd he.
 'Thou m4Jest if thou dost so fancy" assented the nobleman.
 '"Then l christen the first Jonah s Stomach; the second, Jonani the Inlro, Whales stomach; the fourth, the Whale, and the fifth, the Sea-" Where upon the minstrel seized the fifth pull let, devoured 1t with the keenest rel ish, and calmly proceeded to walk away.
 ''Holdi thou hast not eater the five pullets!" cried the nobleman.
 The minstrel smiled. Have I not swallowed the Sea-" said he, land the whale who hath swallowed Jonah and Jonah's Stomach hath in turn been by the Sea; therefore, in swallowing the Sea do not swallow them all?"
 The nobleman admitted that .-e had been outwitte :. and presented the de- parting minstrel with well-fled purse.

Toto. theM0icked Prince

DRINCE TOTO was probably the
 naughtiest little prince there ever was. He kicked and scratched and bit most every one who came near him. and became a terror to his nurse and others who waited upon him.
 Of course, he was given nearly every thing he wished. When he couldn have what he desired. he became unus- uaIly vicious and disagreeable. During bad weather he was at his very worst Then he would go up to the rooL or the castle. where was always stauoned royal astronomer, and command that official to have good weather sent i'm mediateIy. When the dignifed gentle man would explain that that was i'm, possible, the naughty prince would pun the astronomers beard or throw away |. Things came to such a pass, how lever, that complaints began to reach Mhe king himself The king was very Much shocked at these reports of the 1#fIce's misbehavior.
 Me at once issued a proclamation offAring a great reward to any one who woMd rid his son of such evil traits. last Where came 10 the king an un- couthN giant, with great long nails, tasks Nor teeth and long, pointed ears.
 'I au1a genie sent by the good fairy who wakches over your kingdom" he explained, il answer to the look of w6ndernent upon the kir-'s face. Have no fear; I shall take good care of your son and return him to you completely cured"
 So the king finally permitted the giant to take the prince with him. The prince wasn't the least bit willing to go, but whether he would or no. he was forced to seat himself upon the back of a great goose, the giant be- strode another. and in a seconds time they were flying swiftly through the air. Toto hung on for dear life fear full every moment that he would take a bad tumble.
 Don't feel so much like kicking and biting and scratching now. eh?' asked the genie.
 After while they landed near a great lake. Strange to say, across this lake there stretched a very narrow plank
 Toto was made to walk across the lake. the genie walking on the water beside him and pricking him with his sharp nails when he ddn't move fast enough. To poor Toto that bridge seemed like mere thread and the dis tance he had to go more than 100 miles

TT HAD to come sooner or later. \ Skinny was a fine leader and | all that-he could scheme like sixty and carry out his plans, too-but TOT impetuous daring and skill in battle he didn't hold a candle to Billy Mumford.
 The only reason Billy hadn't captured the leadership in the beginning was be- cause he had come to Bonneville com paratively recently, when the Bloody Robbers were already well established.
 Besides, Skinny had lost his gun. With it went a great deal of his influence True. skinny was quick to realize Billys ability. and had made him his first lieu tenant, but the job was becoming too small for him and he was looming up big as a future captain.
 Naturally. Skinny did not like to step out of the position he had occupied so long and so ably. Bearing this in mind' one may well be surprised to learn that Skinny resigned of his own accord and opened the way for Billy to become captain And thereby hangs a tale"
 Let's take a whack at the Swimmin Hole" urged Skinny, on this day of momentous happenings, as he and Billy were SltllIlks WAtA ACSS Ne~AAeA+~Sg ~~- " of cracker boxes before Fowler's gro- cery store.
 Billy, who was indulging in the gen. tie pastirne of coaxing the grocery cat n him and then kicking 1t away. was not at first inclined to stir. But as Skinny insisted, he finally assented and dropped laziiy to the ground.
 Once at the Hole the two took a dip and then seated themselves on the broad

Ballooning Adventure

IA \ R. WIMBLEDON was an enthu- M siastic bather. Upon this day he had taken his customary morning dip and had returned to his bathhouse to dress. These little bath houses along the English seacoast are just about big enough for one to turn around in.
 Along came a balloon, with anchor dragging. Somehow, the anchor be- came fastened in the roof of the bath house. the house was lifted up and away went the balloon with the bath house at the end of the anchor. A good stiff wind had set in and the balloon was swept rapidly across the channel. Then the anchor became unloosened again. and the bathhouse was deposited gently on the shores of France.
 MT. Wimbledon, in the meantime. had been searching frantically on the floor of the bathhouse for a collar button. When finally dressed, he opened the door and stepped out.
 You can imagine his surprise when he found himself in an unfamiliar country, and how 1t increased when he learned that he had been transported from Eng land to France in a few minutes

Ho ANY of you young people know
 of this famous singer?
 1 do, and what a lovely. charm ing person she was! We read often of the beautiful songs and melodies she sang--not in concerts. but so often to cheer sick-bed.
 On one occasion a young man was ver:' i'll, and while he was lying suffer- ing he heard. as he thought. bird sing ing beautiful song in the house.
 He begged his mother to get the bird, for he knew 1t would help him to get well.
 In making inquiries. she was told there was no such bird in the house. She came back and tried to console him.
