Freddy acquired the habit of protesty ing, or making excSises. whenever his mother asked hisn to do anything. And % it happened that, upon one occasion. when Freddy had a real explanation to offer. he had great diticuity in making himself heard tSl E,s.f
 That afternoon it looked very much as though ram were about to come; therefore Freddy's mother called to him;
 'sFreddy, please close the trapdoor leading to the eroof garden"
 'sBut mothefe-" began Freddy. ' ''Now, you lAard what told you; go Up and clpsA khe trapdoor." firmly re- piled the ifiothSr.

taining some of the crackers" and with exceeding joy ran to show them to his relatives. They were interested ever so much. And their curiosity cost them their lives.
 You will see by the picture what be- came of Willie and Mary. The parrot also paid well for her recklessness. But even this horrid example did not deter the rest of the Sea-Shells from experi- menting. They tied the remaining fire crackers together. lighted the fuse and then stood closely around to see what happened. What really did happen is too sad for description. Every sim gle sea-shell. including the parrot. was blown to atoms. Nor was trace of them to be found. They disappeared with the same quickness with which they had been brought into existence, and the fourth adventure was the last.
 As the Artist Man has lost his magic palette. 1t is unlikely that there will ever be another Sea-Shell. But. if you, boys and girls are at all ingenious. you can make very good limitations of the mem bers of this strange family. From ale most every shell you can make a face

The Ernperor's Friend

Whenever Kaiser Franz" visits Buda-Pesth he invariably drives down a particular street, the Albrechtstrasse, on his way from the station to the pal- ace.
 The emperor observed that always when he passed a certain house on the corner, a little boy would appear at one of the upper windows and wave with frantic enthusiasm. So his majesty came to look for his little friend. and each time would give smile and a mill ttary salute to his little subject.
 One day the boy did not appear. Im- mediately upon his arrival at the palace, whether the lad was i'll. The orderly returned with the information that the boy had been sent away to school
 Upon learning further that the boy 6 family were none too well off, the em- peror insisted upon paying the lads schooling and afteFwaPd gave him a commission In the army.

 Besides. 1t will give us an oppor- tunity to make use of the toy depart ment store. which has been idle for so long." reflected Anabelle aloud.
 This settled the matter so far as Dollville was concerned. All of Ana belIe's plans were executed promptly. Her word was law in the nursery world. Every evening thereafter for one whole week rehearsals were held in the department store. Only the girl dolls were admitted. because Ana belle insisted they were so much brighter than the boy dolls. But as some one suggested that there should be a dunce in every schoolroom. the donkey was dressed in dolls clothes and made to sit on the dupce's stool. Real boys and girls might not think it good taste to have dunce at "com- mencement," but then. Dollville wanted to be 'dinerent."
 Little Boy and Girl had left their dolls and playthings in the playroom and were now voyaging to the Land or Dreams. Then -i&~was that Doll vile came to life. Anabelle hustled around, summonlng all the girl dollies and bidding them prepare for their "commencement."

 The parade was a wonderful event, and the "Guard" presented 6 truly magnificent appearance. Fred led tho procession by virtue Of the fact that he possessed . toy sword and a bat tered military cap, the remnants of . ''soldter suit" Then followed a band of three pieces--a drum, e washboiler for e bass drum and lids of buckets utilised for cymbais. The standard bearers. with their guards, came next An old boot hoisted upon the end of a stick made splendid banner, as did also dilapidatsd broom. Other mem bers of the Guard" together with their little brothers and sisters. brought up the rear. One of the sol- dieps, too, ''porrowed'' his fathers top hat and froelx coat for the occasion. and disported himself in not very dig nifed fashion along the line of march. He didn't have nearly aa much fun when his father met him several hours later, after the hat and coat had been missed. @
 None of the proud company observed that the onIookers failed to cheer their parade. The boys were too busy cheering themseIves. And, to Fred,s relief the Kings Guards made no attack upon them. Every one voted the affair q grand success, 1t adjourned to Fred's back yard, where a great bucket of lemonade had been made for the thirsty guard. Crate fully they gulped down the cooling beverage.
 A moment later q painad expression fiitted across little Tinmy Greens face. What did you put in that lemonade besides lemons?" asked he.

 This was too much for any stauneh Canadian. Tred's fist closed and open ed convulsiveIy. Only the fact that nc was acting as host to his American cousin prevented him from forcing light then and there. As 1t was, ne breathed hard for several moments and counted ten several times over.

 Billy glared wildly; his cousin re- turned the look. Then. by mutual con sent, they rushed together and pura- meled one another until thoroughly out of breath. By this time. taos the outraged sense of patriotism of each had been avenged.
 'sYes, sir" continued Fred, now com pletely mollihed, i've fellows who call ourselves the fOd Guard have aH dodged the exercises that most of the schools are going to haye--not because we aren't dandy speakers or good sing CTS. but just because we want to hold our big parade in the morning, and then play our cricket match with the Kings Guards in the afternoon.

All for Nothing

Robert was in the habit of expecting reward for every little service. At the end of the week he made out ''bill'' to his mother and carefully laid 1t where her eyes would fall upon 1t. The items were as follows:
 ssMother Owes to Robert.
 Five cents for running errands.
 That evening there appeared beside Roberts plate paper upon which was written:
 happiness, nothing; for nursing him through long illnesses. nothing; for do- ing good to him, nothing"
 Thoroughly ashamed of himself, Rob- ert ran to mother, threw his arms around her and sobbed:
 Mother, I'll do everything can for you after this, and I'll never ask you to give me anything but just love.

FOURTH ADVENTURE.

VERY pretty home did this strange A family make in their big shell { \ No Mortals came to disturb their peace Accordingly, they were as happy as sea-sheils could possibly be.
 And the wise doctor Of the; Sea-Sheiis established himself in similar house not far away. Now, this doctor person had great power, He could create Sea Shells quite as readily as could tho, Art ist Man; so you will see that he had no difficulty in furnishing himself with a capable housekeeper for his unique home. He also. at the request of MT. and Mrs. Sea-shell. added little Willie and Mary to that family. and even made a parrot for them. The heads of Will jam and Mary were made of clam shells. while Polly's head. as well as the upper part of her beak, was constructed from nissssel or .sboat'' shells--I don't exactly remember which.
 little wiiiie sea-shell 1t was who de- stroyed the happiness of this contented people. In his wanderinss along the beach the sheil-boy came upon number of Mortais. He heard them discussing
