f, visions Those that idle away the time
| while you and your Industrious neighbors
labor will come to you with the first
heavy snow, declaring that they cannot

may then tell them that while you worked
| they played, and now while you eat they
| starve. 1t seems a hard lesson to bid
you to learn, but 1t is a Just one and
will make the indolent repent of their
shiftlessness, and II they manage to live
through the cold weather they will not
be SO foolish as to fail in providing food
for the next winter. And while you are
young do not forget that some day you
will be old and less nimble than you
now are. Thus 1t behooves you to save
your physical strength by abstaining
from over-eating and over-indulgence In
play. And now we shall have a few reel
tatlons. Youth Redfur, what is a squir-

ut is his duty to find nice hollow
In big, strong tree where he may live
during the long winter, sir,'' answered
young Redfur promptly. He was bright
squirrel with promising future before
him
Youth Softpaw, what is a SQUIRRELS
next duty in the autumn" asked the
master, turning to another bright squir-
rel.
ITO begin storing up nuts just as soon
as they fall, sir, 30 that his family and
himself may not become hungry during
the winter" replied young softpaw. He
knew his lesson WELL
And SO followed questions and answers
I'LL all the pupils had been put through
the mill. so to speak, AS 1t was then
noon, and dinner time, the children were
given an hour Of recreation In which they
might eat their luncheons and play bit.
The afternoon session passed pretty
much as did the forenoon session. And
all the while the naughty, truant squir-
rels that had hidden away in the crevices
OF the boulders remained in their self
inflicted prison. for they disliked school
30 heartily that they gladly suffered re-
naming cramped up In their little stuffy
cells rather than to study and learn. They
were hungry and thirsty. and they be-
came stiff In their joints from sitting all
bent double during the long day.
And even after the school was dismissed
for the day these suffering truants could
not come forth till the master was
through with the three 'tardies" who
were kept In after hours. These last
mentioned had to listen to a scathing
reprimand from the master, after which
they were obliged to review their days
lessons. Just as the master was dis
missing the thee "kept-ins' a cloud
suddenly gathered overhead and binding
flashes of lightning were followed by roll
fing thunder which almost rent the
heavens. Old Master Greytail had but
short distance to go to, reach his house,
a deep and spacious hole in huge tree.
He reached shelter and safety just as the
first great drops of rain came with q
furious gust of wind. Then the storm
broke with all It's fury, swaying trees
to earth, filing the air with terrific thun-

Of these voices forget that all the In
habitants of Squirrelyille are up and out
before the sun shows his face. He who
would sleep after dawn In Squirrelville
would be sadly shamed by his kind, and
would be held in bad repute In the vii
lage.) ~
The calling to order of the pupils was
done in this manner. Master Greytail
struck his claws against nearby rock,
giving a queer call which meant: "Come
one and all, among the small Learn,
while We may, and afterwards play (As
the language of squirrels Is not generally
known shall translate their conversa-
tlons In English for the benefit Of my
young readers) -
Immediately the Industrious young
squirrels gathered into circle about
their teacher; but there were many lazy
squirrels that hated to learn lessons, and
these hid themselves behind the rocks,
hoping to be overlooked by the stern old
teacher. But they reckoned without wis
dom. Old Master Greytail had a list of
all the squirrels of a certain age who
were to attend the school. This had
been made the week before, and not one
boy or girl squirrel was omitted. So,
upon looking about him, and seeing that,

the school-house' was not half filled
whereas 1t should be crowded to the
boulder wals-the old fellow began call
ing the role.
And then 1t was that the most'reckless
of the naughty squirrels crept away into
the crevices of the rocks, determining to
miss the lessons If they possibly could.
The other naughty ones-less disobedient
than the irst-felt called upon to come
forward, pleading some feeble excuse for
being tardy.

"And 1 stopped to look at myself in the

Old Master Greytail looked sternly ut

the first asked "And did you catch the

have bitten me terribly. let him 60
"Ah. ha, and SO you wasted your time

1t was a most perfect fall day The
woods in which Squirrelville was located
were full of autumnal tints most pleasing
to the eye of man, child and squirrel
There were great trees, whose tops al
most scraped the sky, filled with brown
yellow and red leaves. There were shrubs
and sap1ings that We'd In color with the
brilliantly tinted giants about them. Or
the ground were scattered thousands upon
thousands of fallen leaves also of varied
tint giving the effect of rich carpet
on which the foot of animal and boykind
loved to tread. And beneath these leaves
were hidden thousands of nut5 which had
been tossed from the trees by the play!
funess of the fall winds.
And so, as you children must know, II
was time for school to begin In city,
town, village and country. And also 1t
was time for school to begin In the
woodsl "In the woods?" you ask. Then
you will doubtless say "But where is the
school-house? And where are the chill
dren?" And, "Oh, where Is the teacher?'
Well, come with, me to Squirrelville,
deep in the great woods, and you'n see
the school-house, the pupils and the
teacher.
There, sitting in the leaves, is old Mas
ter Greytall. He's just preparing to
'call school" And from far and near,
ieapiIs frem 5eGgh to hongh, and then
to earth, come dozens Of pupils. And
don't think that boys and girls are the
only tardy pupils at school. There are
lazy, indolent squirrels as we'll as lazy,
indolent boys and-shall / say it?-Sirls!
They love to play among the waving
trees, both in them and under them.
They love to toss the leaves about, to
hide in them and play "peek-a-boo with
each other And when tired of play
these same frolicsome squirrels love to
sit with tails over eyes and sleep as
lazily as you please. Indeed, were 1t
not for their Industrious parents and
worthy teachers they would doubtless
become very undesirable citizens, and
either starve during the winter months
or steal from their more industrious
neighbors.
But there were wise heads in Squirrel
vile among the parents of the young
squirrels. And these said: at is nut
time The children must be sent to
school at once where they shall be in
structed In the lessons of life" And
ouc' Oiu IhdsleI OIey lhii, was seieCteu
from among his fellows to act in the
capacity Of teacher. o
And so on the morning of September
23d old Master Greytall took up his place
In a pretty little hollow between two
great ledges of boulders. Overhead was
a network Of tree -boughs, through which
the sky looked beautifully blue and fair.
Underneath was the carpet already de-
scribed, carpet so soft that ones foot
made no noise when treading upon it.
This spot SO nicely located, walled by
boulders and rooted by branches, was
the school-house
At exactly seven O'Clock by the sun
school was called to order by Master

for help, her vain efforts to catch him and
to rescue her dolly from his iron jaws,
the puppy kept on tearing and jumping
and tossing his victim about on the dirty
pavement.
Just as Stella Anne was about to run
into the store to call for assistance lady
came running out and caught hold of the
puppy dogs collar. Within the twinkling
of an eye she had the fellow under con-
troll and had taken Ethel Grace from his
relentless little jaws. But what plight
the poor dear was In! Stella Anne burst
into a new, torrent of tears at sight of
her manned dolly. Some of the beautiful
natural hair strewed the pavement. One
arm was entirely severed from the body
and was only kept in place by a rather
staring wildly from the corner of the
socket while the other one was closed
and would not come open. Oh, the heart
rending condition of dear, once beautiful
and proud Ethel Grace!
Stella Anne took the MANNED dolly ten
derly to her bosom and wept bitter tears
of grief over her. The lady-who proved
to be the owner of the puppy-was so
sorry about the damage done to Ethel
Grace by her mischievous puppy dog that
she offered to buy Stella Anne new doll
just like the old one.
Stella Anne raised her swimming eyes
to the sympathetic lady's and said: "Oh,
nam, haven't you any little children of
your own2" Whereupon the lady forced
back smile and replied: Eyes, little

my dear" she said, 1--WE must take your
dolly to the dolls hospital and have her
operated on. They can cure her there
and after few days you'll have her with
you again as well as ever"
"Oh, but the cruel doctors might kill
her with their sharp knivesl'' exclaimed
Stella Anne, hugging Ethel Grace tighter
to her heart at thought of her having to
go through such an ordeal. Under the
surgeons knife! Horriblel 1t made the
blood in her veins cold, just the thought
Of it.
But by and by she grew calmer, for
the kind lady had picked up the car
riage robe, replaced 1t in the carriage
and was wheeling the little vehicle along
beside Stella Anne as she walked slowly
and sadly homeward with her wounded
dolly in her arms. And soon she began
to listen to the sympathetic lady's ad-
vice. She knew, of course, that Ethel
Grace had no feeling like a human be-
ing had. She also knew that she must
be mended or remain an invalid for life
So, after little talk she agreed to
allow the lady-who declared 1t was her
fault that Ethel Grace was SO hurt, for
1t was her dog who had wrought the
havoc-to take her darling to the hospital.
They would first go TO Stella Enne's mama
and explain the whole matter. Then,
with her consent, they would take the
wounded Ethel Grace to the Dolls Hos
pital. They would leave her there, poor
little thing, and go for her at the end
of few days.
OF course Stella Anne's mama was sore
ly grieved at the sad plight In which she
beheld her granddaughter, Ethel Grace.
But while she consoled Stella Anne she
also expressed her thanks to the kind
lady who was 80 generously Offering to
right the wrong done by her little dog.
And of course, Mrs. Perkins refused to
allow the lady to take 80 much trouble
about the dolly, saying that she would
take the poor unfortunate to the hospital
herself. But no, the kind lady would
not listen to this. She insisted that she
would not feel easy in her mind IL not
allowed to repair the damage she de-
clared she was responsible for. So, after
much gentle argument and persuading on
her part, Mrs. Perkins was obliged to
consent to her taking Ethel Grace to the
hospital. And Stella Anne, being the

''Then you had better have seen your
way to school over a quicker path, sir,
and learned the important lessons Of life
as well as you already know your own
foolish face" Then to the third tardy
one the master turned, inquiring; Had
you not enough breakfast before leaving
home, sirf''
"Oh, yes sir, my mother always feeds
me all want"
''Then you stopped on your way to
school to nibble a nut just through glut-
tony" said the master severely. you
three may remain In after school. I'll
have something to say to you then. Just
now we must proceed with our lessons"
Then the morning passed in questions
and answers, the master making many
wise remarks during recltations and CIV
Ing sage advice. Never waste a minute
in the autumn he said. EVERY minute
may mean the laying by of several nuts.
Never go past a small nut In search Of
bigger one; the small kernel Is often
sweeter. than the large one. Never mix
your hours of play with your hours Of
work. There is fitting season for each.
Watch your neighbors during the harvest
season. Those that work diligently will

mama, was to 60 too, and was to be al
lowed to carry her poor. sick dolly in her
arms.
When the kind lady led Stella Anne
into the reception-room Of the Dolls
Hospital the latter thought she should
faint There, strewn about the room,
were dolls in every condition of wreck
age. And here and there were headless
bodies and armless trunks. Again, one
might pick up broken foot or arm most
anywhere. oh, it was really most shock
ing, and proved to be almost too much
for Stella Annes nerves
A young lady came forward to wait
upon them. Very kindly she took Ethel
hurts.
She'll have to be restrung and have a
new eye," she said, after thorough ex-
animation. ''she's not badly injured,
though. Her face is all right-except the
broken eye-and will need only cleaning
and little fresh tint on the cheeks."
& Then came an ordeal for Stella Anne.
She wasv forced to say goodbye to her
darling Ethel Grace. She did this as
bravely as she could, begging the young
lady, who now had charge OF Ethel
Grace, to please see to 1t that the doc
tors should not handle her roughly, nor
put the wrong, legs and arms on her.
She wanted Ethel Grace to have her
really and truly own limbs.
And then they went away, Stella
Anne's heart very heavy. She would have
loved to stay right theee and watch
the ''stringing Of her dolly, but she
was told that visitors-though they be

The three "tardies" lived long way
from the school-house and when at last
they succeeded In reaching home they
were all but drenched to death. And
when their parents (who had heard of
their children's ugly conduct and that
they were being kept after school hours
saw their sorry plight they had no words
of sympathy for them.
If you loiter on the way to school,"
said one stern father to one of the, tar
dies, lyon must suffer the consequences.
And let this experience be warning to
you Your Industrious and earnest COM
rades have been home for nearly an hour,
naving frolic and fun after their hard
days study. But you, through your own
disobedience and la5iness, have not only
missed the evenings play, but have suf-
! Tered drenching besides"
And the three 'ttardies' crept into their
homes, ashamed and miserable, and the
next day they formed a compact with
each other to never, no never, play truant
again.
But what became of those very naughty
squirrels that had hidden themselves In
the crevices Of the bouldersq why, a
stroke Of lightning split the wall of
boulders to splinters, and when, after
the storm. the parents came forth to
search for their unruly sons they found
their lifeiess bodies lying strewn about
the wrecked school-house floor Their
>disobedience and truancy had cost them
their lives.
Had they obeyed their good parents
and gone to school that morning, and had
they learned rneir lesson we'll and been
excused at three o'clock to go to their
respective homes, they would now be
