Frustrated Revenge

A VALUABLE camel working in an "A oil mill in Africa was beaten by 4 A it's driver.
 Seeing that the camel had treas ured up the injury and was only waiting @ favorable chance for revenge, the driver kept a strict watch over the anil nal.
 Time passed away. The camel, know ing that 1t was watched, was quiet and Obedient, and the driver began to think that the beating was forgotten, when one night, after several months had gone by. the man was sleeping on a raised platform in the mill. while, as is customary, the camel was staDIed In d corner.
 Happening to awake. the driver saw by the bright moonlight that when all was quiet the animal looked cautiously around, rose softly. and, stealing toward a spot where a bundle of clothes and an overcoat thrown carelessly on the ground resembled sleeping figure. cast itself with violence upon them, rolling with all its weight and tearing them most viciously with it's teeth.
 Satisfied that it's revenge was com plete, the camel was returning to it's corner when the driver sat up and spoke.
 At the sound of his voice. and realiz- Ing the mistake 1t had made, the anil nal was so mortified at the failure and discovery of it's scheme that it dashed its head against the wall and died on the spot.s

Patti's Predicament
GA True Cat story.) )

[N 7E CALLED our beautiful black w and-white cat Patti because,
 as the children said, "she never knew when to leave off sing ing"
 One noon she was missing. and for five meals her food was placed reg ularly, but she did not come, and no search could discover her where abouts, so we mourned her as dead.
 On the second night, as the children were preparing for bed, one of them shouted. 'T hear Patti" Doors and windt 's were thrown open, but no Patti came in. We called and she an- swered from-somewhere. The cries grew louder. and we traced them to bedroom. and. as 1t seemed, under tAe fl But how could she have gotten there? Another cry-thts time under trunk in the corner. I hastily open nk, taking out the trays, when out jumped Patti, with wild eyes and panting for breath. She fairly flew downstairs and ut-of- doors. where she remained for long time. Coming back at last, she asked me for something to eat, and gave her a little milk. From that day she would never leave me-even walking
 street with me if neglect ed shutting her in the house. In think ing how she had become imprisoned. I remembered that at 10 o'clock on he day before I had opened that trunk leaving the tray crosswise for a few minutes. Unobserved, Patti jumped down and curled up on my opera cloak. She must have gone to sleep before l closed the trunk. Her sleep lasted for thirtytwo hours. Nothing in the trunk was disturbed, and only the little impressions of her body and fe,. cat hairs were on the cloak.-The Cat Journal

Don't Wash Their Faces

V OU may have noticed, little friends,
 That cats don't wash their faces Before they eat, as children dos in all good Christian places. Well, years ago a famous cat, The bangs of hunger feeling, Had chance to catch fine young mouse, W ho said, as he ceased squeal1ng: Al genteel folks their faces wash Before they think of eating" And, wishing to be thought well-bred, Fuss needed his entreating. But when she raised her paw to wash, S-ES9ce for escape affording, TRs sly yNSung mouse said his goodbye, Witnops rsstysSt to wording.

 But mind you don't get yourselves too tired for dancing afterward," re- joined Mrs. Griffiths.
 Dancingi The faces of the three chii- dren fell woefully. They had never had dancing lessons.
 Then came babel of grown-up res marks across their heads.
 "Yes.

'Yes. the hail is the place for the dancing. After the children have gone to bed-io o'clock we can keep 1t up among ourselves later.'' ''Yes, yesi'
 Only the general noticed the utter blankncss on the faces of the three cnA- dren. He interposed rather loudly;

 One shriil cry, "AyeI' from Toujoursl Silence from the other children. The dancers won. But the young man sit~ ting next to the children. with won- derful swiftness, mitigated the horror of this verdict to the three by sug- gesting a plan. The. knew. of course. that the hall floor would have to be polished for tho dance. We'll. wouldn't 1t be heaps of fun to do it them selves, rubbing the boards as the sailors do the floor or their mess rooms, with bottlesT And then there would be putting down the chalk. and sliding 1t in, and all that.

 On the morning of the dance, when the children arrived with their party clothes'' all done up in big cardboard boxes, they found that the ladies and Queenie were all in the drawing room or In their bedrooms, pervaded by an at- mosphere of ball dress.
 All the men were gone to the hunt, except the general and the kind young man he called Freckles. These two gave the children warm welcome, and the polishing had already been done.

Water Runs Upward

A N INTERESTING trick that at
 A first sight seems to set the law or gravity at defiance. by caus- ing water to run upwards, may be performed with a bottle and a tum- bier, both filled with water. To empty the glass with the assistance of the bottle, the latter remaining quite full all the time, sounds like an utter i'm" possibility, yet it can be accomplish ed with ease.
 All that is necessary is Q cork for the bottle, through which two. little glass tubes-one considerably longer than the other-have been inserted. Tn. vert the bottle and place the shorter tube into the tumblerful of water and the weight of the water in the bot tie will make the contents run out through the long tube; but Tn doing so, if no air has been allowed 70 en- ter the bottle, the liquid VIII nS se- placed as fast as it runs out by sne contents of the tumbler, which VIII be drawn up into the bottle through the shorter tube ationsSupon.the- sam pEancip ples-Aa.-..a

gether, and slithered after him. They kept the pot boiling" until the chalk was no longer gritty beneath their slippers.
 It was an old 'fioor, and the founda- tion must have sunk little, for they found there was quite slant down from the generals table to the shal- low step in front of the dining room door,
 Going back, Freclxies dragged Tou- jours along by the arms, as he had wished. It might be long before his mamma could get all the chalk out Of his serge knickers, but think of the benefit to the floor! It was almost as slippery as real ice. and 1t held the blue, green and red reflections of the stained glass windows as brightly as If it were any frozen pool by the time they all had to go in to lunch.
 From the head of the table Mrs. Grifiths nodded, "How-de-do.- chill dren and took no further notice of them, for which they were duly grate- Sul. But she looked prettier than ever with her hair all iuffy and her white dress. that was crinkly like the friH around a Frenched chop.
 "The hoor's diviner' she said. and she turned to the psrlor maids and told them to use the other passage for fear of slipping on the polish and dropping the dishes.
 After lunch she and the other ladies and Queenie sat out in the cushioned chairs on the veranda, while the gen. eral wandered off with his camera to take a panoramic view of the noun tains.
 Freckles and the three children ex- tended their dessert in the orchard. When they came past the veranda again the ladies were discussing we'll remembered dances in other lands and on board ship. Could they talk of nothing but dances?
 A DIsAGREEABLE DISCOVERY
 "And that was positively the last I've been to!'' said one of them. I'm just pining for waltzi Come, Freckiss!-- whati you don't danceI Well, then. one of you girls. want to try if they've really put down enough chalk"

 The children pushed under his arm Co look at 1t. This is what they saw.
 From the step where they stood to about the middle of the room there stretched a pool of water. The other end of the room was as dripping wet as the bathroom floor at home after Toujours had been making stortns" on Saturday night. And water, trickling steadily through the half-open door of the dark room. ran down the slight slant of the floor, spreading as it ran, to feed the overwhelming lake at their feet.

 Again F'reckIes saved the situation, for he had brought out the French chalk and scattered it all over the floor. And he soon got Toujours to forget all his troubles in the joy of end of the hall to the other.
