May ran into the hall and hid her face against the wall. She had entered just as Noah had sent the dagger into the body of the lion. The sight shocked her deli- cate nerves.
 Seeing that they had been caught in rebellion, the attacking army drew of, leaving the attacked in very sad plight. Indeed, the favorites of an hour ago were now most terrible to behold. They no longer held their heads so high. Lega and arms and sawdust were lying about the battlefield. Beauty was marred by bent and broken eyes and noses. But the battle was over and the victorious army looked happily upon the ruin 1t had wrought. Now they would be allowed to remain in the nursery, for the party, seeing that there were no others who could carry tho palm of perfection and beauty over their heads. But-how can l tell what befell them?
 A few moments later tho mamma of Mary and May came rushing in Her quick understanding grasped the situa- tion at once. "Ah. Jealousy has been the cause of all this strife. Out of the win dow with the culprits!' And with the assistance of Mary and May the Tin Soldier and his followers were thrown headlong from the second-stor window into the back yard of the great house, where they had had such 8 comfortable home.
 Tomorrow John will throw the whole of them into the ash can and they will be carted out of town. The rebels!-to raise q rebellion just on the eve of a partyi Had they behaved themselves till tomorrow they would have been sent to the toy hospital for mending and come home in a few days as pretty as ever.

Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII. of England, was born at Blickllng Hall, in Norfolk, England, about the year 15O1. Blographers disagree about the date of her birth, some placing 1t about lJoo others giving the yenr 1907. But Lord Herbert, the best authority on the natter says Anne was 20 years old on her re- turn to England from France in 152l.
 Annes earliest years were spent hap oily at the fine country home of her father. the place of her birth. One of her youthful playfelows was Thomas Wyatt, the celebrated poet. The Wyatts and Boleyns were nelghbors and both De- longed to the nobility.
 While in her fourteenth year Anne was chosen to act as one of the maids of honor to the Princess Mary Tudor, the beautiful young sister of Henry VIII When Mary was welded to the old King Louis XII. of France, Anne, one of the fayorites, was taken with her to the French court. After the Princess Mary's widowhood and return to England Anne remained in France as maid of honor to Queen Claude. Some historians say she remained abroad for several years, and we have the best authority for the state ment that she did not return to England till she was 20 years of age
 As child, 1t Is said, Anne possessed delicate beauty. promising to become "a good woman and plous one." But cer- tainly she did not fulfil that promise, for she became a most interruptions and de- signing woman, using her wiles and wicked influence to induce the heartless and selfish Henry to divorce the good

and languished for another to take hef place. Jane Seymour was now his favorite. and as he had found 1t so easy to re- pudiate the really noble and yirtuous Katharine, taking in her place one so unworthy q royal seat, would 1t not be the easier to rid himself of a queen who had never won the favor of the English people?
 The marriage between Henry VIII. and Anne Boleyn took place January 25, 1533, and on the morning of May 19, 153o, Anne was led to the scaffold, where she was bcheaded. She was innocent of the crime with which she was charged, but the wicked Henry must have his freedom at any cost. Though Anne deserved severo punishment for her wrongdoing, she did not deserve false accusation and the headsman's sword.
 She had but one child, the little Prin- cess Elizabeth, who became in after years queen of England. MARY GRAHAM.

joy the gayety and fun of the guests and their hostesses, but had a few extra touches put upon them by way of rib- bons and laces. One lion was left on view, he being such a ferce-looking fel- low that no child had ever dared to play roughly with him. But fine old ele- phant was hidden away h the closet because one of his tusks was missing. The ideal Then there was the company of soldiers in gay uniform. (Mary and May always called them the "Roman Soldiers" but they were in no particu- lar country's uniform). Half of their number was "laid upon the shelf," de- cidedly the worse for war. Some of them wore broken or bent helmets, while others wore none at all. And many were unarmed, their weapons having been lost and broken through the rough usage of not warfare-but children.
 On the morning of the party there was a low murmur of discoEte t in the closet among those who were hidden away, the outcasts of the nursery. so to speak. The elephant was the first to grumble against the injustice of hls fate. Stand ing bravely in their midst he addressed his companions in disfavor as follows:
 'Eriends and fellow-toys, I wish to raise my voice against this treatment of us. Bitterly do I rebel against our ban ishment from the nursery"
 Aye, ave-" seconded Roman soldier. Here, too. Mike"
 And I draw the line at being i'm prisoned In this fashion, said old Noah, his voice full of resentment ''I say, let's strike.'
 "StrIke whom and wheref" asked the tin soldier, feeling for his missing sword Pm ready on the word to do battle ecainst those favorites who are usurpinR our former places. Have we one among us to lead? There can be no battle without a general to plan our modus operandi. Come. let's have a leader"
 Everyone present began to feel a strong admiration for and q faith in the tin soldier. He was undoubtedly brave, and his use of Latin pronounced him to be a scholar, even though from the ranks. Yes, they all agreed mentally that he was the

 That evening after school Bert French avoided Bricktop, going of at run with some of the other boys while Bricktop waited in the vestibule for his sisters. As soon as Lettie and Bettie joined him he said: "Kiddies. I've something dread full on my mind. You must help me to solve a most perplexing problem
 Then as the three went homeward Bricktop told them confidentially all about Bert French's cheating at his ex- animation.
 How perfectly scandalous !" exclaimed Bettie.

nothing would so much satisfy her as 10 jerk the hair from the head of a great new doll whose garb pronounced her to be Japanese. Several of the Roman soldiers decided to attack an automobile full of gay gentlemen md lady dolls, the latest addition to the nursery, therefore holding the favored places of that do- main. The Tin Soldier took as his special prey football hero, who stood near a chair, leaning languldly against one of its legs. He was as athletic as his profess sion would suggest, and the Tin Soldier found he had his hands pretty full, lnas- much as he had one bad eye and no sword. But soon he had busted the hero of the football field, leaving him lying helpless and spllling sawdust on the car pet.
 To say that the battle waxed fierce and hot hardly expresses it. No conflict in Toyland ever was fiercer. Chairs were knocked down and small pieces of furnl- ture broken to spllnters. The table GOV CTS were dragged off, spillngs the dishes on the floor, where many of them were broken.

From his hiding place he could see all that trans pred. So 1t was that he noticed the battle between the monkey and the bear.
 But the lion was not long spared In his seclusion. Old Noah-from whose ark the lion had strayed-caught n peep of him under the curtain folds and straight way made for him, carrying a short dag ger that he had found on the floor near to the spot where the fayorite Roman" soldiers had been battling with their foe. In short order the lion was dispatched by Noah, who said in loud and victorious words: "So dieth q deserter from the Arkr'
 At this moment the door to the nur- sery opened and Mary and May came in to view the tables before time to admit their little guests.

 Again the elephant became spokesman: q move that we appoint the Tin Soldier our leader. Do hear a second?"

and picking themselves up hurriedly the unfortunates followed the Tin Soldier into the nursery, where tables were spread for feast. About the wall were ranged the fayorite toys, some on chairs and others sitting or standing on the carpeted floor.

Mary and May, two little sisters, aged seven and nine, respectively, had most ideal nursery. There were games and toys galore. Dolls, big and little, old and new; Teddy bears, lions, monkeys, birds and everything, in fact, that could help to make nursery happy and full of play, were there.
 And each day Mary and May found great delight in the big, bright nursery playing with their fine and extensive sup ply of toys and games. Often many It. tie friends were invited to come in to spend an afternoon with Mary and May. Then woe betide the animals and dolls, for many times they lost their heads, tails, feet and hands at the rough usage oe the young and reckless guests who tossed them about as though they were nothing more than cloth, sawdust, sticks. wire and paint. How very, very nor rible!
 One day Mary and May had party. It was on the birthday of one of the little maidens. For many days the toys and animals had heard the approaching event talked about by Mary and May and their mamma and governess.
 On the morning of the party Mary B and Mays mamma came Into the nursery to arrange it for the afternoon. She poked about into all the corners, pulling out broken dolls and horses. Here was a tin soldier. sword gone and an eye backened, and bent out of shape. There was q doll-once a French belle--wfth half her hair missing and a maimed and shoeless foot. In another corner was old Noah outside his ark, which hnd been demolished of It's roof and half It's four-footed inhabitants missing. All these maimed and broken folk and anl- mas the mamma of Mary and May took and stuck away on a big shelf in q closet, saying they were too diiapidate to be in sight during the party. Only the spick-and-span dollies, wearing their hair in order and their frocks neatly, with the animals that were whole and firm of foot, were allowed to occupy places of importance fin the nursery And these favored ones were not only al- lowed to remain where they might en-
