Once there was big brown bear who
grew very disagreeabe and cross. He was
tired OF everybody and everything-espe-
cially the squirrels who bothered him by
throwing nuts at him when he wanted to
sleep. Usually he chased the squirrels,
and then they ran to the treetops ana
laughed at him. They sCurried up into
the branches and when they sat there
safely they threw more nuts at Grumpy
Bear. AT last Grumpy Bear walked out
OF the woods. I'll find another place

around the green umbrella. but there

up and walked home with them. She
found the artist and gave him back his
green umbrella. and then she went to her
own home and put her cushion back on
the lounge.
Grumpy Bear went back to his forest
Il don't care he said. "if the squirrels
do throw nuts at me. They are not as
bad as magpies and little girls" So he
crawed into his nice cave and made up
his mind not to grow angry at ANYTHING;
Pretty soon the squirrels found him and
began throwing acorns at him again.
But Grumpy Bear never moved or said a
word.
Bother said one Of the SQUIRRELS.
"he doesn't mind BIT. It's no fun
throwing nuts at him if he doesn't chase
US" So they stopped and went off to
play in the trees. Grumpy Bear smiled
to himself and then he fell asleep and
had the most delightful. pleasant nap he
had had for months.

as fast as he could. After awhile he came
out to the edge of the wood. and there
before him stretched long. sandy desert.
What lonely place. sad Grumpy
Bear I'll go right to the middle of It. ,
So he set out across the sand till he got
to the very middle point of the long; low
desert.
AT last he cried Then he put the
cushion down on the ground and opened
the umbrella. 1t was huge umorella
and looked like big tent above him.
Grumpy Bear continued his plan. He
stuck the umbrella handle. which was
pointed, into the sand as far as he could
till the ribs of the umbrella touched tine
sand on all sides. and there he was with
nice green dome covering him like a
tent without a door.
Now" he cried. as he lay down on
the green cushion decorated with pink
sunfiowers which looked very well with
the green umbrella. now nobody can
get inside and disturb me. and I'll sleep
here all the time with nothing whatever
to annoy me- In less than two minutes
he was sound asleep.
In the meantime the little girl in pink
gingham. whose name was Martha,
found that her green silk cushion dec
grated with pink sunf1OWers had diSap-
peared That brown bear took it, she
said and she Immediately set out to find
the brown bear. After a while she came
to the artist. who was collecting his scat
tered materials.
Did you see a brown bear pass here?
she asked.
II did said the artist. in a quavering
voice. 'He went off in that direction,
and he took my green umbrella with
him.
Then she followed Grumpy Bears foot
prints over the sand. At last she found

THE BUNNY'S DANCING LES.
SONS.
BY BELLE MOSES,

The Bunnys were coming up in the
world. much that Mrs. Bunny
thought it high time to give her children
dancing lessons. There was no need to
hunt for a dancing teacher. for Mrs.
Bunny knew all the steps herself. having
been quite a belle in her day. So every
afternoon Bob and Bnny and Bunce
rushed home from school, flung down
their books and scampered off to joint
their mother on the green: and day after
day under her drilling they grew in grace
and beauty. Mrs. Bunny was very proud
of them, and when 1T became talked
about in Burrowtown a great many en-
thusiastic mothers brought their children
to be taught.
Mrs. Bunny. however, was firm in her
refusal
Its too great a responsibility. she
declared. "One never knows what I'M
foreseen danger is lurking above ground.
burt my boys are as alert l am, and
since our unfortunate experience last
summer. | confess I'm nervous. / have
heard here Mrs. Bunny lowered her
voice to confidential whisper. that
Monsieur Reynard never forgave my chill
dren for setting fire to his tail. and
am in mortal terror lest he should pOunce

Dear. dear here all the mothers
wagged their ears and hinked sympa-
thetically. I'VE quite understand" they
said. ''how necessary it is to be eau
tious. DO. my dear Mrs. Bunny. take
care of yourself and the boys" and very
much frightened at Mrs Bunny's words,
they FASTENED home to their families.
The very next day as Mrs. Bunny and
the boys made their first bow in the
"Lancieres,'' the watchful mother. who
had Binny for a partner, caught sight of
a pair of wicked eyes glaring at her
through the trees. Her graceful body be-
came quite rigid with fear. and her long
ears stuck straight up from her head.
Binny caught her look and glanced hor
stricken over his shoulder; and Bunce
and Bob. who were dancing together. very
soon caught the alarm There was no mis-
taking those eyes. now fastened upon
them with cruel intentness.
What shall we dO?" gasped Mrs. Bun
ny. That is surely Monsieur Reynard,
and he means mischief beyond doubt.
Come, let us go home quickly We
can

do: he'd think We were towards.
