neither asonished nor alarmed at what she All
animals were her friends, from the trembling wolf

bear that she thought she had seen in the whorte-

But of all the animals, real imaginary (and
real another to her), the elephant, goo

to those of her elders She had china and
eaden and cloth one, and book full of pictures
of elephants performing all of tricks; and while
her mother had told her that elephants not

thought that it very natural that should

there's googigah in the orchard" And George whose

take riding"
Yes; that's what he's come for my DEAR" said
Anastasia gravey. "The doctor said that when your
all rnended you could go out riding, and this
kind googly has come TO take us both,
Something in her manner, and the intentness of her
gaze caused George to turn his head, and he gave
little exclamation of SURPRISE though not of fear, at
what he saw.
Good gracous' said he, forgetting his broken
and leaping from the hammock wonder where he
came from"
"Now what's the use OF wondering?" said Anastasia,
with the Oldest air imaginable. He has to take
out riding, and you must get right up and go to
him"
George took Anastasia by the hand and they walked

"I don't see how to get up unless climb tree and
drop down on his back. Well go over to that big
maple" answered George.
"Why, the googligaf will put us on said Anastasia,
with drawing down of the of her mouth that
showed how simple she thought herself not to have
suggested it before.
And the googligah did. He seemed to understand
what wanted, for soon Anastasia stood in
front of him and held up her fat little arms, he curled
his trunk around her and lifted her up.
"Oo-ooh! it's like swinging" said She as she went
up
Hold tight to the hammock said George and then
when she was in place. he went to the elephant and
lifted to his high seat
Say, this is great! he shouted. Lets go and sur

And then around the of the house from the
lane that led to the orchard came Zanlba with his
precious freight.
Mrs. Ferry rose to her feet, not knowing whether
to scream or to laugh Mr. Ferry sank into his chair
and gasped.
Handsome little George was perched just back of
the big and rode the animal with the easy
of unaffected childhood Anastasia her eyes bright
and her checks red with excitement with her legs

She explained matters in moment: Il always

he was little like my china elephant"
Just then big brother Horace came home from the

delight. "Tfave you found him? Oh, want to get
