IAN right. Master joey" answered
Maggie, the maid-of all-work. Then she
got Mays jacket and hat and packed up
her books for her. Nov, little dearie,
you are ready for school," And the good
servant patted little Mays head and re-
turned to her work In the kitchen.
May went out of the house, drawing
on her red wooden mittens as she walked.
Her bookbag was over her shoulder. III
God forgave Joey for running away" she
unused as she passed out at the gate, He
would forgive me, too And as for a
knife at Christmas-well, don't want
one. Then instead of going up the
long street that led to the schoolhouse
May turned In I'm opposite direction ana
ran along beside the high hedge, which
prevented Maggie from seeing her should
that good soul look from the window.
After getting we'll out Of sight of the
house May sat down on the roadside. Her
eyes turned in the direction of the hills
among which lay the sunken Indian
graves, keeping their own secrets and
treasures. Why should not she go there
and dig into one of the graves and take
from it some of the beautiful beads and
feathers? Yes, she would go on to the
hills. She ought to get there in short
time, for they seemed SO very near.
Once her mind was made up May ran
along the road rs fast as she could, going
towards the hills. She was soon SO tired
running, however, that she was obliged
to pause to rest a bit; but she continued
her Journey after few seconds. After
a long, long time she reached low hill
which belonged to the greater range far
Their on. Here she decided to begin search
for an Indian grave. After looking about
she found knoll-like spot over which
matted some long dead moss. Deity Mays

appeared on the road quite long way
off, As it drew nearer May beheld It to
be O farmers horses and wagon. In the
wagon sat a man, who, on noticing the
little child standing beside the road,
refined in his horses. ''Waal. how
dy-do, little one," he grinned. 'sWhere
did you come from, and what be you
dom away out here two mile from town.
May told every word Of her story, and
gave her fathers name.
"Ah, / know your pap WE'LL" declared
the good farmer. "Come, jump into the
wagon and I'll tote you home. pass by
your house goin' into town. But, say,
child, don't yon know there's not sign
of an Injun grave In these parts any
more7 Been gone forty years, reckon.
Why, it's been SO long ago that the red
fellows was buried there that If you
found a grave there'd be nothin' in it
but dust. But. never mind. lots of
grownup folks hunt for things harder to
find and, of course, never git 'em."
Thus the farmer consoled May as she
sat beside him in the wagon, a horse
blanket wrapped snugly about her. And
after a little while the wagon stopped at
her own gate. and there she saw her
mother coming out, her eyes frightened.
When she beheld her little daughter she
threw up her hands, exclaiming, THANK
God, my child is here" Then as May ran
into her arms, and the farmer drove on,
the ashamed little girl confessed that
she had run away from school, and told
the whole story from the minute she left
her own home till she returned to it.
.'Oh, dearie," said the mother, leading
May into the house, II Just got home a
few minutes ago and Maggie and Joey had
come in for luncheon and asked why you
had not been at school this morning

little hands tore away the grass, but the
ground was so hard that she could not
get into it with her fingers. Some snow
lay about, drifted into the low places,
and the wind was rather sharp, coming
from the north. But May knew that she
would get warm working and set about
hunting some sort Of implement with
which to dig. Luckily she found strong
stiek-ene which had doubtless been left
beside an old campfire years ago. With
the stick May began to dig furiously.
But after working till her hands and
arms and back ached she had made
scarcely any impression in the half-fro1en
ground, and began to feel discouraged.
Then fear seized her. She looked about,
expecting to see the town in the dis
lance, but in following the road hither
she had made many turns and no habita-
ton of any kind could she see She
dropped the stick and ran farther up the
hill, stopping to look about her. Not
house was to be seen on the prairies.
She must have gotten lost. As this
thought came to her she sat on the
ground and began to cry. oh, what had
she done? Then she suddenly remem-
bered that one should always pray In dis
tress. With uplifted, tear-stained face the
poor little girl prayed that she might be
delivered out of the wilderness and out
of the house of bondage" She repeated
the strange words which came to her, for
she had heard them in the church or the
Sunday school, and thought they sounded
very grand. But at the end of her prayer
she cried out; from her heart: "Oh,
Lord, lead poor little May back to
motheri'
Then fresh tears flowed. but her heart
felt lighter and, rising, she turned down
the hillside. As she did go a dark object

Jap,y. 81 never had such state OF
nerves before. I'm really as silly today
as a woman. I'd cry If anyone said
scat to me-.
"Scatl" sharply repeated Rosahnd.
Snow, why don't you cry, Mr.. Japs l
said scat"
But Jappy only blinked and smiled ana
said nothing. He admired Rosalind too
much to quarrel with her. And be felt
that she. like himself, was nervous to-
night. The whole Play Room seemed
ouivering with nerves.
.sWell, I'm In state"' cried Toodle-
doodle An he made a wry face at
Jsy Bird that was perched on the back
of chair. The Jay Bird had not flown
TO its present perch. The Little Lady who
was mistress of the Play Room had put
her there. And being a bit tired Of sitting
so cramped up on a chair back, Miss Jay
Bird was In a humor to wrangle with
any member of that small world, The
fact is, Miss Jay Bird had been nlisera-
BILE all day, and the evening shadows
were not conducive to a happier condition
of mind.
.'Don't grin at me. Plug-uglyl" chirped
out Jay Bird. "I'll fly at your head II

"Oh, aren't you a bird" roared Toodle-

'.Say, fellow citizens, do you all know
the latest news?' And the black fellow
sat down beside Rosalind.

tones: "Fellow dolls and animals, l am
willing to take command of the revolt
ers. We will leave this house-this be-
loved Play Room, where we have been
SO happy since last Christmas Day and
go thither into the world. If we cannot
follow our Little Lady we will find an
asylum somewhere anywhere-" Jap
py's voice was full of emotion, and he
could proceed no farther till he controlled
himself. While he was swallowing the
lump in his throat Toodle-doodle popped
up like a Jumping-jack and grinning
from ear to ear, exclaimed: MAY l be
captain-or bandmaster of this brigade!
l would love to hold an Office
Miss Jay Bird screeched and wildly
tapped her wings in disapproval Of
Toodle-doode as an officer of any kind.
Jappy looked at the little black fellow
and replied: "You may carry my sword
IL we are obliged to fight our way out OF
this house, Toodle-doodle set up
great roar of laughter when Jappy said
this and when he could calm himself suf-
dciently to speak, asked: "And how would
you be fighting, my General, II I we're
carrying your sword? By my own black
skin, l believe I'd be a better soldier
or commander, let's say-than you would"
and Toodle-doodle drew himself up and
/ doubled up his fists.
But at that very moment the Play
Room door opened and in walked Little
Lady, followed by woman, man and
boy carrying several large boxes. Here
are my dear toys" said Little Lady,
waving her hand about the room. "Please
pack them very, very carefully, for
must have them perfectly whole when I
set them up in my new Play Room. You sec,
my new Play Room will be ever so much
nicer for them to live in. And l am so
glad, for 1 love my toys as well as though
they could feel"
And when the dolls and animals heard
Little Ladys words they were SO happy,
for they knew they were going to live
with her always.

HARRY AND THE SNOW MAN.

of thick-branched shrubbery to the shad-
ow of the snow man. Standing there
partly concealed the intruder whistled
softly. Then another dark figure came
from the shadow of the shrubbery, join
Ing the one beside the snow man.
Harry was not long in surmising the
object of the midnight visitors. They
were housebreakers, of course, come to
gain entrance to the house while the occu-
pants were asleep and unconscious OF
danger. In moment Harry was down
the stairs-going in his bare feet 30 as to
make not the slightest noise-and was
speaking hurriedly over the telephone.
After having called for police protection
he hung up the receiver and ran lightly to
his parents room. Both father and moth
er slept soundly, and 1t was not till Harry
shook them by the shoulder that they
awoke, wondering what the matter was,
and why their son was there at that time
of night In his bare feet and nightrobe
Harry was not long in whispering the
alarming news of the housebreakers he
had seen prowling about in the yard, and
who were doubtless trying window or
door at that very moment.
I'VE shall call the police" said Harry's
father, leaping from the bed. Yes, call
out the police" said Harry's mother in
agitated tones. They may murder us
while we sleep!'
'"They can hardly do that, mother"
smiled Harry, the least excited Of the
three. I'VE are already fully awake,
and I have phoned to police headquar-
tiers for officers already. They'll prob
ably be here shortly"
well, let's take peep out over the
yard and see what your burglars are do
ing" said Harry's father, hurriedly throw
Ing on a dressing gown and thrusting his
feet into slippers. Then the three went
TO Harry's room and looked from the
window. There. to their establishment
they beheld a strange sight. Two large
boys were busily dressing up Harry's
snow man. On his head was an old
..stoyepipe" hat and on his body an old
coat had been arranged to hang In very
natural folds. A long black pipe project
ed from the slit which was intended for

them for men when l first saw them

clothes, for he was shivering from the
cold

Little do they think that they are be-
ing watched" But just as he said this
a burly policeman turned in at the gate
and, seeing the youths at work on the
snow figure, addressed them. Harry at
once ran downstairs to explain to the Of
fieer that his house-breakers had turned
out to be snowman costumers, and that
there was no need for any arrests. The
policeman laughed heartily on hearing
Harrys account of the burglars entrance
into the yard and good-naturedly warned
them to make earlier calls on their
neighbors' snow men. or to ask permis-
sion to come at such an unseemly hour
of the night.

about on the members Of the Play Room,
who had said nothing.
