the situation and then formed a des'

and You are going to be spanked

Then she and Grace Ellen walked
upstairs to the spare bedroom.

from the front gate; "Gra.cellen! On,
Gra.cellen! Come on, we're going to

Grace Ellen was seen flying down the

fresh blue calico dress. Her eyes were

POLICE SPIES IN PARIS.
Lesitimist Leader Mystifed over a

Paris Gil Bias gives the world an
illustration of the workings Of the
French secret police in an anecdote
which it publishes with an assurance
that the incident happened recently.
A distinguished member OF Partisan
society sent out invitations for large
soiree at his house in the Faubourg
ST. German. He is legitimist, and it
was hardly concealed that the gath
ering was to have a certain political
significance.

ever. He explained with i'll concealed
disdain that his party would be made
up Of the bluest blood in France and
any outsider would be at once conspic-

NJ. Lepine appeared to be convinced.
at least he yielded the point graceful
ly, merely adding: AT least, Monsieur
lie Comte, you will allow me to see the
list Of your guests. My duty compels
me to know who will be there"
Monsieur lie Comte made no obiec-
ton, He produced the list and Lepine
scanned it carefully. He was wreath
ed in smiles as he returned IT, With
many bows he apologized for having
troubled Monsieur lie Comte.

vitations. see that Monsieur IL
Comte already has on his list OF guests
the names Of FIVE Of my most trusted

The count and his friends have been
wondering ever since whether this was
literally true or whether It was a
shrewd device to render the gathering
innocuous.

The
Case ofGracc Ellen
Who
Demanded q
Spanking.

Did you ever hear Of a little girl
who wanted to be spanked? Actually
wanted to be? Well, if you haven't,
you certainly ought TO know about
Grace Ellen Mcdonald.
1t happened like this: Grace Ellen
had formed a very bad habit; she
ate raw potatoes. She would beg
them from cook, in the afternoons
when school was out, and peel them
and eat them with salt, in the same
way that bad little boys eat green
apples in the Spring.
Grace Ellen was usually an obeSi'
ent little girl but somehow she al
ways forgot about the potatoes. In
vain her mamma reasoned with her,
and her papa forbade her to touch
them. But after the spell Of the collie
mamma led Grace Ellen into the
spare bedroom, and when they came
out Grace Ellen looked very grave.
Mamma had said something perfect
ly awful.
Some days later she was confding
the matter to her most particular
friend. Jus think Daisy" she said,
IF l ate another single one mamma
was either goin' TO make me stay at
home an not play with the children
after school a-tall for whole week.
or-er-she. was goin' to spank me hard
with a brush-with a hair brush,
Daisy Meriwether! Jus 's'pose you
had to choose tween those two
things!"
Daisy was a cautious little girl and
she didn't like raw potatoes anyhow.
"If were you l wouldn't eat any
more Of EN-" said Daisy.
And Grace Ellen didn't for a long
time-about a week, think. And then
she forgot again! And mamma knew
all about 1t.
oh, dear, what dreadful time there
was in the Mcdonald family when
Grace Ellen had to choose!
She could scarcely bear even the
idea of staying at home every after
noon for a whole week, while Daisy

the napkin was finished she was al.

the backyard, but that wasn't much
fun, because baby brother always
wanted TO crawl on his stomach in
the dirt and mamma said he mustn't.
Then, too, she mustn't even halloa

would call her in.
Five awful days went by and Grace
Ellen felt in her soul she would new

Then something happened. A mon.

Grace Ellen had still two more days!
