A Disobedient Girl
BY Mildred Jensen. Aged 9 Years. SIX

BY Mildred Jensen. Aged 9 Years, Sixtieth
and Center Streets, Omaha. Blue.
Once there was a little girl that asked
her mamma II she could go out and play.
Her mamma said yes, but she shouldn't
go out Of the yard. So she went outside
and never thought Of what her mother had
said. and went out of the gate and walked
down the road into a field to pick flowers.
She kept on walking and picking until she
got tired and layed herself down under
a shady tree and went to sleep.
As her mother missed her she went out
side and called and called, but no one
answered. Little PEARLS mamma was so
nervous that she didn't know what she
was doing, She telephoned all over, but no
one had seen her. She said to herself,
maybe she went down into the pasture"
She went down into the pasture and looked
all around but couldn't SEQ her little girl.
She went a little further and saw some
thing white down by q tree. She went down
to the tree and there she found her little
girl lying asleep.
She had a big bunch OF flowers OF all
kinds. Her mother called her, but she
didn't answer. Her mother picked her up
and carried her home and as she got home
the little girl awoke. Her mother asked
her why she went down by the pasture.
Little Pearl said she wanted to pick a nice
bunch OF flowers for her mamma, but said
she would never be a disobedient girl
again.

And she drew in her breath quickly. "oh,

perfectly quiet, holding the cake to the

acting as though he were entirely oblivious
to the fact that his keepers were advancing
upon him, sat on his launches and nibbled
away.
In another minute a muzzle covered the

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 fellow who had
come to bring her assistance in the woods.
The rough men told Lucy that she was
half a mile distant from the pavilion and
that she had taken the turn, which led
from the zoo grounds into the wild woods.

bears were kept. "And this fellow got out

elephants, the elk and the deer. But the
bears were left till the last, as they were
kept at a place some distance from the
other animals, being penned on a sort OF
wooded cliff that abounded in boulders and
caves, natural as well as artificial.
Nov. cousin, suppose we have some ice
cream to make us cool while we rest a
Bit" suggested Ned, leading Lucy to a
little refreshment pavilion near at hand.
Lucy was glad enough to enjoy both the
ice cream and the rest, and in a few min
utes she and Ned were seated at a little
table on a broad veranda overlooking the
grounds of the Zoo. As they sat chatting
and eating Ned's name was called by a
voice familiar to him, and turning about
he saw two young friends from the city.

out. "wait a minute and I'll come down

Lucy for a few minutes, Ned Joined his

she would not forget TO keep an eye on
the spot where Ned had left her SO that
she might join him the minute he reap
peared. But the crowds, the many new
features OF the Zoo hitherto unseen by
Lucy. carried her on and on unconsciously
and before she realized that she was out Of
sight of the spot on the veranda where
she and Ned had eaten such lovely ice
cream she found herself in a shady nook
bordering upon a rock-strewn cliff.
Pausing, Lucy looked about her, at first
feeling no apprehensions. Then, not seeing
the refreshment pavilion any where about,
she became a little frightened, thinking
hat she might have some difficulty in
reaching there before Ned's return. And
II he should get back first and find her
gone he would at once rush off in search
OF her.
"Oh, l came only a little way" Lucy re-
assured herself, turning about and walking
as fast as she could in the very wrong di-
~rection. though she thought she was re-
tracing her steps. Mercy, I had no idea

When John Ran Away
BY Louise Stiles. Aged 10 Years, Lyons
Neb. Blue.

By Louise Stiles, Aged 10 Years, Lyons,
Neb. Blue.
John Meridith was lazy. There was no
doubt about that. If he had to pick beans
or peas he would fill the bottom Of the
basket with leaves and heap the finest he
could find on top. II he was left to hoe
the garden he always ran away and went
fishing or swimming. Consequently when
his father made him finish his work when
he returned. and more besides, he thought
It pretty hard lines. One Monday, when
he had been told to hoe the garden, he did
the usual thing and went fishing. When
he returned his father made him finish
hoeing and sent him to bed supperless.
After he was in bed a quick plan formed
itself In his mind. He would run away.
After everyone was in bed he quietly
dressed and stole down stairs. He put a
lunch up in a basket and left the house
and town behind He walked UP the rail-
road track for about three miles, then
feeling very tired and hungry, he left the
track and entered a deserted shed near by.
which had once been used for horses, but
had long been vacant Of any living creature
except rats and mice. Here he ate n lunch,
then he lay down, intending to sleep for a
few hours. He must have slept longer
than he intended, for when he awoke the
sun was shining brightly and while he was
still half asleep a train whizzed by that
he knew to enter Dinsdale at Z a. m. He
spranE up and started to leave the shed,
when he heard voices and crept behind a
pile OF straw in one corner. The voices
were those Of two tramps, who entered the
shed and sat down near where John was
hiding. Yes" one was saying, IF we can
get hold of that little Meredith girl her
father will pay much money to get her
back" After planning to coax S-year-old
Helen to go for a walk with them that
night, and not to bring her back, but hold
her for ransom, they left the shed. AS
soon as John thought prudent he also left
the shed and hurried home. His father
was Just leaving for down town, and as
he and his wife both thought John still I'm
bed he was very much surprised to see him
come painting up, trying to tell something
about tramps and Helen. That evening
the tramps strolled by and called to Helen,
who was playing IN the yard with no one
near by, apparently. But Just as they
spoke two policemen seized them from be-
hind and hurried them off to the county
jail. I do not know what became OF the
tramps, but I do know that now John Is
always willing to work.

breath. But maybe l was looking at the
people and did not notice this spot. Any
way, I'll follow the open path and 1t will
surely lead me to the right place"
For another five minutes Lucy followed
the plainest path of several dim ones. But
as the scene about her became wilde and
she met only an occasional pedestrian, she
felt more and more anxious.
Mercy, mel" she whispered to herself,
What II I'm lost! But surely the path
will take me to some place IN the grounds
OF the zoo, where I'll see a policeman and
I'll have him take me TO the refreshment

Lucy trudged on again, her little wrist

sack of sweet cakes under her arm. Her
auntie had given her the bag of cakes,

Now Lucy was a very sensible. little girl,
considering her tender years. And the first
thing she did after realizing that she was
lost was to sit down on a soft bank of
moss and to open the bag of sweet cakes.
'While I rest and think it over I'll eat to

rection unless l see someone who can di-
rect me rightly. While l wait for a few

bag and began eating it, but not with her
usual relish for such dainties. Indeed, so
occupied with her own serious dilemma
was little Lucy that she ate without
tasting, and after the first few bites were
taken she was about to throw the cake
away and TO return over the grass-grown
path to the spot where she had SO sud
IDENTIFY come upon the wood. But just as she
was planning 10 do this a soft step was
heard behind her. and before she could
turn round 10 see who approached a warm
nose thrust itself over her shoulder and a
mouth opened and bit at the cake. Then
Lucy sprang to her feet and saw a strange
looking, lo~ng-haired little animal beside
her, stil reaching its nose for the cake.

smiling and holding out the cake. We'll,
little old doggie, just eat Of the cake all
