''Therer whispered Ned pointing through the underbrush at a dark object, there's one of he-the-animals- things!' The truth must be told at Ned's expense; the black object which a very short time ago he would have sworn was a bear now re- sembled anything else as much as it re- sembled that terrible animal. And Ned, now seeing with calm eyes. discovered his mistake
 ''Why children, that dark thing is a mans big black felt hat" declared their papa And upon my soul, there's an- other one of them 10 feet away. There must be two men sitting on bank, and only their heads are visible from here. Let's go over and see."
 "They're sitting on the bank at the edge of the lake," explained the gentle man who was in company with the chil- drens papa, and who was familiar with the woods and Its surroundings. Likely they are fishing"
 And so it proved, too, upon close in- spection. There sitting holding on the messy bank of a most glorious lake, were two half-grown youths, their fishing poles stuck Into the bank beside them. Both started up as the party of two men and two children approached, and one of them said:
 "F'ish don't bite worth a hang this morning, gents; guess they must be be- witched."
 And Marie's and Neds papa looked at them and smiled Talking beafs," he whispered in their ears. Well, that's about the way all terrible scarecrows turn out-perfectly harmless and normal''
 ''Yes, and we'll always investigate after this," declared Ned.

ute, and her undaunted spirit caused Ned to laugh at his own apprehensions and to cast off all fear.
 Pretty soon they reached the edge of the timber and found 1t dense and ring ing with the songs of wild birds. "0h. isn't it just like some of the forests one reads of in fairy lore?'' cried Marie.
 "Yes, and at every step I fancy we'll come upon a terrible monster, or fairy, very vivid imagination.
 '1 only wish that we might see some of those remarkable things" laughed Marie. But these things live only in books, you know I'd be very glad to see something that really does exist-eyen bear or a lion-but these woods have been inhabited by men too long to hold any wild animals. But, say, Brother, one of the ladies at the hotel told mamma last evening that there is fine lake In the woods here. I wonder if we can find it? She-the lady-says 1t abounds with and come here fish"
 But Marie stopped short and grasped hold of her brothers arm. What's that moving down there-just ahead of us there through that underbrush?" And Marie's breath came quickly and her hand trembled
 Ned looked in the direction his sister designated and to his horror saw huge black object moving to and fro. It was very close to the earth and appeared to be nosing about in the weeds. Anyway, whatever the object was which they could see through the underbrush, 1t was very

.'Sister, let's go for a walk in the woods" said Ned to his sister Marie one fine morning. It's cool and nice since the rain and we may have some thrilling ex- periences.
 "Al right, brother" acquesced Marie. And then they started out for the walk through the woods. Their surroundings were new to them, for they had been at the big country hotel just day, having mother and father on the previous morn- ing. Consequently all was of the deepest interest to them, and as they wandered along the shady country lane = going toward a deep, dark looking wood-they noted with enjoyment everything they passed There was a little rustic bridge, crossing a tiny stream, fine big boulder near to the roadside and eyer so many wild flowers bordering their path.
 I'm so glad we've come to this lovely place for the remainder of the summer" cried Marie. Its all so wild and beauti- ful. And just think of what we may find in the woods!'
 ''Yes, I wouldn't wonder if there are lots and lots of squirrels, rabbits and chipmunks,'' declared Ned. Then thought struck him, thought that seemed not quite so agreeable. Say, Sister, he said in an undertone, suppose we should meet-a bear!'
 Marie only laughed, then said: "Oh, all the bears have been killed off long and long ago by the hunters of the early days, and not even a trace of one Is left" Marie was very brave at this min

formidable. and Ned, never very brave at best and possessing a marvellous imagina- tion, was so frightened that he could scarcely speak. But with eyes bulging and voice trembling he whispered: See there few feet away is another black thing-as big as the first. They are bears! can see them plainly! Come, let's get out of here as quickly as we can. Or shall we climb a tree? If those bears smell us, they'll take after us, and we'll never, never be able to faster than they do! Oh, hurry, Marie, and say what we shall dol'
 Well run for home," whispered Marie ;"But let's creep carefully from this spot, for we are so near to the-the-what- ever-they- -are-that they might hear us if we made noise. Come. creep after me. And as soon as we're a little way off we'll sprint.
 Ned obeyed his sister and together they crept steathily from the spot where fear had almost transfixed them. But when a safe distance from there they took to their heels and fairly flew through the woods, Ned falling heels over head as his toe struck a vine-coyered stump. As he lay sprawling there, bowling with pain and declaring that his toe was broken, and that now the bears would overtake him and eat him up, Marie, always brave under trying circumstances, stopped in her mad run to assist him and to console him by saying they were now out of sound of the bears, and too near to the outer edge of the woods for the wild things to come there for them. But all the while that she was consollng Ned she was trem- bling with fear for her brother and her self
 And while in this predicament Marie was startled by human voices very close to them, and quickly rising from her stepping posture she was surprised and happy to see her father and another of the hotel guests coming toward them At the same moment her father caught sight of her and called out; Why, daughter, didn't know you had left the hotel! Where's Ned?'
 Ned raised himself on his elbow and exclaimed: Here l am. Papa. and I fear l have a broken toe. But let's not mind about my toe, but get away from here as fast as we can, for there are two huge bears down the path a piece. Come, papa, look at my toe a minute, and then help me up."
 In few minutes Marie had explained their dilemma to her papa and the gen tlenan WHO was WlCn nm, ana the way both men laughed was sight to behold. Of course, papa first examined Ned's toe and found it was only strained a bit, but no bone broken nor skin injured. Its only little knock," papa explained. Then he and the gentleman ioared with laugh ter over the idea that there were bears in the woods.
 Come, son and girlie," said the papa, land we'll just go to the spot where the bears are supposed to be stopping. You know that nearly all the great scare crows that frighten folks half out of their wits prove upon investigation to be any thing but dangerous"
 But it was with reluctance that Marie and Ned followed their father and his companion, and when they neared the spot of danger they both warned their leaders, declaring that they might be killed.

to follow me, for their breakfast will be scanty and they will get no strength from it. Besides, they must hurry into the fields to work, for the winters provender depended upon the crop they can raise with their own old hands from a worn out field that stretches stingily along a hilside.' F
 And as Tommy thus pondered the old uncle and aunt slept soundly on their pallet, which was spread on the soft grass that grew about their cottage. And they did not awake when Tommy crep: softly from his bed and went off over the hill, following the road that led to city. many, many miles distant. Tommy had often heard of this city, but had never been there.
 And. as he walked along through the dust, the calm of an August night about him, he began to think of the fairies of whom he had heard so many wonderful tales. Old Aunt Pag-the relative with whom he had lived during his orphan hood. and who had been q second mother to him-had so otten said to him: May be, my son, the fairies will bless thee with good luck some day. May It so happen.' And ;ien she would sigh, the deep-drawn sigh of the anxious, loving and hopeful mother. And Tommy had wondered if. indeed, the fairies would come to lead him to wealth and power.
 But just as he was thinking of this he heard a sound beside him and, glancing up. beheld a nge-looking old dame walking softly along the road with him. He had not noticed her approach. and had no idea how long she had been ac- companying him.
 Good even, lad" spoke the strange woman. "Goest thou far tonight?''
 'T am going to the city," replied Tommy. But as l do not know how far 1t is from here cannot tell how long I shall be making the journey. Dost thou

Tommy Tupper was little boy that lived a very, very long time ago. In fact, he lived so many, many generations ago that during his lifetime fairies ex- isted-a thing which proves that Tommy Tupper was of a past age.
 And Tommy Tupper (which was not his real name, but only a name given to him so that our English speaking little readers may have no difficulty in pronouncing it) was q very poor boy, living with an old aunt and uncle, who willingly shared with their orphan nephew what little they had of the worlds goods. But all three went to bed hungry many and many nights, and all three went cold many and many winter days. Only in the sum- mer did they have any comfort, and that was because the weather was so warm that they needed few clothes. little food, and could sleep out of doors under the glorious skies. which were studded with stars that seemed to Tommy Tupper to be forever winking at him as he lay on his back looking up at them and wondering what they were
 And one night, as Tommy Tupper lay on his pallet watching the stars wink. he began to form a plan in his mind. And the plan was for his future. He had been thinking of late that the sort of life ne was leauing couiu not aiWays enuure. He must get away from the poor old uncle and aunt and their poverty. But how was he to depart from his kinsfolk without their consent? And he knew that while he was still of tender years they would object to his leaving them. And Tommy Tupper knew that 1t was their love for him that would prompt their refusing to grant his request to leave them,
 'I'll creep away at night while they sleep the tired sleep of the old and over- worked poor.' said Tommy to himself. "And in the morning they'll be too weary

A dear little squirrel was frisking about in a big green park, when Into his choice place came party of boys and girls with a very nice lady. The lady was the mamma of one of the little boys, and the other children were her son's guests, and they were all going to have picnic in the park.
 "Oh. there's a little squirrelie!" cried one of the children, and at once all eyes were turned on the little squirrel In ques- ton. Say, why can't we have him to our party, Mamma" asked the little host of the party, addressing his mamma, the lady in charge of the picnic crowd.
 Well, really think it's more in keep ing that the squirrel should act as host and we as guests" said the mamma. smiling at the pretty squirrel that was standing on his hind feet and looking very much amused at the funny beings who had come all uninvited into his wood.
 "Oh, then let's call 1t the squirrels party" suggested a little yellow-haired girl, who wore blue ribbons and a white frock.
 ''Yes, it's the little squirrels party!" agreed all the other little ones.
 Tn that case MT. Squirrel should come and make us welcome, declared the mamma. But, you know, the manners of animals-especially of squirrels-are not like the manners of people. So we shall have to behave toward Squirrelie as he would like us to do. In the first place, we must let him understand that we are his friends and do not intend to do him harm. In the second place, we must be very quiet when he is in our midst, for squirrels do not like too much noise and commotion. They are afraid of romping and shouting, and will run away from their best friends if they behave noisily. So all be seated in a pretty circle-leav ing room for Squirrelie to enter at one side-and then we'll set out some nice luncheon for him and Invite him to come in"
 The children did as suggested and sat as still as little mice, and then mamma put out some nuts and bits of candy on a big green leaf which was placed in the center of the inclosure made by the little picnickers.
 And now, Johnny James, you may go and invite the squirrel to come to his own party" said the mamma, giving n hulled nut to Johnny James and bidding him to take it close to Squirrelie and offer

And I do not wish to have myself hampered by queer old country folk. They would cause the city aristocracy to laugh at memo matter how rich and powerful 1 might be. You know, good dame, that old country folk-and those that have al- ways been so very poor-are made light of by very fine folk. And my uncle limps in one leg-he cut 1t with an ak last winter and very bad wound made him lame-and my aunt has a bent back from carrying faggots for our fire and coarse feet and hands. Of course, they are very good folk, and have given to me all that they could possibly give. but l could never allow them to appear in my castIe-after I have made my for kune-and make jest of me-"
 Let us be seated for moment" sup- gested the old woman. T am a bit weary of walking in the dust, and am at the end of my journey in this direction. Be- sides, you must be very tired also"
 Tommy admitted that he was a bit tired in his feet, and sat down on the road side. After he was seated the old wom an, who was yet standing, threw of her cloak and disclosed to Tommy the most beautiful youthful form and face he had ever seen Now, young lad," said the new creature-who was not an old woman at all, but a fairy queen-'I must ask you some questions about your uncle and aunt I shall return to them and give them a good-luck charm. And shall cure the wound in thy uncle's leg and straighten the bend in thy aunts back: and I shall see that their fields yield plentifully, abundantly, and that no more hunger or cold will cause them to suffer. I shall make them rich and happy. An! they are noble folk to take into their poor house the orphan son of kinsman. And they love thee like their own. thou say est?"
