Down he fell with a bump on the ground
below that made him give forth a Shrek
like Comanche Indian.
Tottie, hearing the noise Of his falling.
leaped up in time to save herself from
being in the way of his fall. and stood
laughing at the poor fairy whose wings
had failed in their duty.
"Oh. you looked SO funny. Bruver!

Toddles,. sitting up and rubbing ms

like that. II the limbs hadn't a-caught
me as I came down I might'ave broke
my arm or maybe my leg or something.
But If you're going to giggle l won't

of mind and shook the dry leaves and
dust from his head and clothes.
"Oh, III not giggle any more" prom
Used Tottie, coming to her brothers side
and helping to dust him off. Come. les

good humor "Play at I'm down from

you for an hour. Come, you may serve
luncheon to them on the lawn
Then the chariot. the elk. the fairy

"Oh. yes. thatll be lots of fun" de-

to her little daughter Lucy. They were

her mother had quite finished with lock-

we're off"
The ride to the station was a delight
full one, and Lucy was just as happy Is
she could be. making plans for the day
in the great busting city. where she did
not get to go very often during the
term of school. But as this was Satur-

Lucy was much amused at her big

houses, cages and pens. Lucy had Wis
tied the zoo once when she was a little
tot Of five, but had not been there since.
So the visit held much interest for her.
Long she and her Cousin Ned remained
in front of the monkey house, Lucy
laughing and laughing till her sides
ached at the funny antics of the queer
little animals.
Then they visited the lions, the tigers.

Well. never seen the likes of that be-

In another minute half dozen men
had surrounded the spot where Lucy sat

Slowly they closed in on the two-the

speaker was one of the burly men, and he

And he. the hungry fellow, acting as
though he were entirely oblivious to the

In another minute the muzzle covered
the funny long nose of young Mr.. Bear.
and much to his discomfort he was
obliged to stop eating cake. Then he was
led away, Lucy walking quietly beside
him. for she felt no fear OF the funny fell
low who had come to bring her assist
ance in the wood
The rough men told Lucy that she was
half a mile distant from the pavilion and
tnat she naQ taken the turn (whlcn leo
from the zoo grounds into the wild
woods) right at the base of the hill where
the bears were kept. And this fellow
got out last night they told Lucy, IAN
we've been hunting him all this day. Oh.
he's not pet by any means, but he don't
seem to be very hostile to you, young
miss"
That's because I'm not afraid Of him,
and fed him some cakes" laughed Lucy.
Though. If I'd known he was really and
surely a bear I'd have run and climbed
a tree"
Lucy found Ned all right. He was
lettering round the pavilion, on the watch
for his strayed or stolen cousin, and you
should have seen his eyes stick out when
he heard Of Lucy'S experience. We'll
go to the bears cave now and I'll point
him out to you-my friend who rescued
me in the woods" said Lucy. And
straightwey she and Ned went to see the
bears, and there, just being led into his
pen. was the young Bruno who had eaten
cake from Lucy's hand q little while
before.
"Ah. the little girls brave 'un," ex-
claimed one of the bears captors. Sure.

And If 1t hadn't been for him I'd have

each did the other a great service. But
it was a Jolly experience-feeding cake to
