Ev LuFFY was little dog-a white, A- wooly little dog. with the dear
 A est black nose and pink trimmed
 y eyes you ever saw. He belonged
 to very pretty little maid named Daisy Dean. And. although Daisy Dean loved Fluffy, she sometimes leased him almost beyond his endurance.
 One day, while Daisy was playing with Fluffy In the yard. she conceived the idea of dressing the poor fellow up like a baby and ran into the house and got some of her big dolls clothes. Now, doll doesn't mind being dressed up in long. burdensome clothes like baby, but it was real torture to Fluffy to be ali bundled up in such things, and as he sat under a tree. locking unlike dog or n doll he felt very miserable. indeed.
 "n l ever get out of these duds I'll run away" vowed Fluffy, mentally. I've stood as much as ever I can. I'm only a dog. after all and no one ever asks my pleasure in matters pertaining to my self Now. if Daisy Dean had to be bundled up in togs like this, so that she could not run and romp in q natural way, I'm sure she'd be most unhappy"
 .'Try running away, little fellow, spoke a voice to Fluffy. And Fluffy picked up his ears to listen. Where did the voice come from, ahyway. Ah, 1t was fairy. that was what it was! Fluffy knew all about fairies, for Daisy had read from a fairy book to him many times. and he knew that fairies were all ways good to those In trouble, but he had never suspected that one would heed the tale of a mere dog. 'Yes, try run ming away" sad the voice again. Ah, this time Fluffy knew that the fairy spoke to him. And she advised the very thing he had thought of doing; in fact, had vowed to himself to do as soon as free in limb once more.
 After a very long. long time Daisy took the dolls clothes off poor Fluffy, and the little fellow frsked about. happy in his freedom. But while enjoying this delight Daisy decided to tie him up In big old box and play he was a caged bear. Two of Daisy's friends, Aggie and Jean Turner. had come to play with her and had suggested that they play at hay In n menagerie by putting the old Tabby cat in one box and Fluffy in another. Fluffy discovered their intention when he saw them trying to con6ne old Tabby in soap box. In vain did they try to imprlson Tabby. She would scratch and bite and run away from her would-be captors. Once while the three children were pursuing Tabby down the alley, the voice came to Fluffy again and said: Now Is your time, little dog, to make your escape. Go down the road, turn to your right and travel long distance. When you come to a cottage set among the trees you'll know there is a good home for you. for there Is only dear old lady and a good old man living there Their children are scattered about the earth, and the aged couple will be glad of little waif to take into their home and to cherish"

Whoa. fellowi' said Joe, in friendly tones, stroking Whitefoot's back. Whoa I'm going to get on, now. so stand still, old boy"
 Then he quickly and lightly leaped Ned's waist at the same instant. But the moment he threw himself across Whitefoots back he experienced the sen sation of whirling high in air, like circus acrobat, and of going quickly to earth. hitting a spot as hard as the one Ned had gone to wreck upon a few mln- utes before.
 Ned jerked on the reins and brought Whitefoot to a standstill; but the fine young animal was all a-quiver Then Ned looked about to see what had become of his brother. There Joe lay on the ground making wry faces at the sky. For the life of him Ned could not help laughing. What are you doing thereT' he asked, holding his sides.
 Joe looked up, then sat up. Then he said: I'm surprised to find myself down. here so soon. l went so high in the air that had no idea l could reach terra irma before dinner time Gee, that horse has power in those hind legs of his7 And he's so quick
 But you gave him fair warning" said Ned, trying to restrain another volley of laughter. You dfdn't take him unawares as did. So that's why he tossed you higher than he did me: he had more time to gather strength for the work. Oh. there's nnthin9 lika nrenarina for .

 Wen break him to carry double," said Ned. I've seen lots of colts no bigger tban he carrying double. We'll make him worth while."
 "Oh I hadn't thought of that" said Joe. ''Yes, that's a good idea. Wen break him in to carry double. And we'll take turn about riding in the saddle. First I'll ride in front and you behind. Then we'll reverse the order of things"
 So it was arranged before Whitefoot had been in their possession two hours that he should be broken to carry dou- ble'' which meant that both boys in- tended riding on his back at the same time-one in the saddle and the other be- hind him. But the boys had not yet gotten acquainted with Whitefoot nor learned his determined will Only young horse he was, but he had a notion of justice in many things particularly in matters pertaining to himself. This had not been counted on by Joe and Ned.
 The next day after leading Whftefoot home from the county fair Joe and Ned went into the horse lot and bridled him. He had been broken to the saddle, but had not been ridden very much as yet. as his former owner had been anxious to let him grow strong and shapely be- fore burdening him with heavy load
 Now, we'll put on the saddle" said Ice. Then IT. Eet on first and ride

Joe held Whitefoot in check and turned round to see what the damage to his brother amounted to. Are you hurtr' he called out.
 Well, I haven't had time to examine myself yet" declared Ned, now sitting vp and rubbing the dust from his face. ''I may have dozen broken ribs or a split nose. for all l know. You see, struck the ground so quickly-and unex- pectedly-that I don't know what the wreckage amounts to till l get up on end again" So saying Ned got to his feet and felt of his ribs and nose and legs while Joe laughed at the spectacle. Say, you do look funny" said Joe. Suppose you get in the saddle and let me take the rear this time
 That's what l intend doing" grinned Ned Truth is I have had all l want of riding behind for little while I'm all knocked up.'' And he rubbed his elbows and back. ''I hit some pretty hard places just them
 Joe dismounted and Ned climbed into the saddle. Then he rode to the gate where Joe prepared to mount behind the saddle. Say, I bet you I'll stick" de- clared Joe. If he pitches me into the grass he'll send both of us and the saddle also, for I mean to cling to you like death to a dead turtle."
 Well, he didn't give me time to cling to you,' said Ned "The minute my weight bit him hit the ground. Sc be

favored, as they were under the pro- tectfon of the Heinzelmannchen, tiny race of benevolent beings, who stole noiselessly into their homes at night and deftly finished all the work which, though begun, had been set aside before 1t was ended. Relying upon their aid. the bakers set their dough to raise, slept soundly. and when they awoke in the morning found piles of newly baked loaves; the miler's grain was ground and flour tied up in sacks; the housewives rooms were swept and dusted the spin- ner's flax all spun, and a tailor in town always found the garments he had begun to cut out, duly made and pressed. lying neatly folded on his table,
 Now, this same tailor's wife was c very inquisitive woman, and very anx- ious to see the benevolent Heinzelmann- chen, who labored so kindly for them. As she was heavy sleeper and could not easily wake up, she strewed dry pease all over the floors ere she went to bed ono night. The tiny Heinzelmannchen, rac- ing to and fro in their busy haste. stepped upon the pease, ripped and fell. making such a chatter with the irons. tongs and scissors that the tailor's wife, waking up. hastened to take a peep at them.
 "The Hefnzelmannchen, seeing her, and guessing that 1t was she who had strewn the pease on the floor, were so indignant that they left the house and town for ever. Since then the people of Cologne have been obliged to do their tasks un- aided, and all the work which is not finished at night is sure to be found in the same unsatisfactory state in the morning for the Heinzelmannchen have vowed never to visit the town again."

Whiefoot: The Story of Young Horse.

Joe was careful. He patted and rubbed Whitefoot, speaking gently to him. The lit tie animal seemed In the best of humor, and stood with head down as if drowsing. But there was determination in his eye, which went unnoticed by the twins. After Joe had talked reassuringy to Whitefoot he leaned across his back, not yet getting on astride. Whitefoot remained perfectly quiet. "Ah you see where you made the mistake, Ned, was in mounting too quickly. You want to give him time to think over the situation. You jumped on without warning him of your inten- tion. You see an animal-especially a horse-is very nervous and easily fright ened, and your leapng on so quickly caused him to resent It, and the result was he tossed you of at once. Now. you see I am lying across his back and he makes no objection.
 Maybe getting on will prove different" suggested Ned. Suppose you try 1t now. l think he's been fairly warned"
 All right" said Joe. Bring him a bit closer to the gate. l can't mount at this distance. He's sidled away, you see.'' And Joe strengthened up, lifting his weight from off Whitefoot's back.
 Ned refined Whitefoot closer to the gate and Joe prepared to mount.

 So to the barnyard went the three chill dren hunting for runaway Fluffy but he was not there. Then to the house they went and searched every room for the white doggie In vain. for no sign of him was to be found. Daisy's mamma said she had not seen him, nor had she heard him bark Cook had not seen nor heard him. Where could he have gone? And then the entire family began assist ing Daisy in the search. But they looked in the wrong direction. for while they went about among the neighbors, even into the busy part of the city, Fluffy was trotting down the dusty country road as fast as his little feet could carry him.

 Lay 1t on, MacDuff," said Joe. Then he got to his feet and searched for broken bones. Got any splinters sticking out of my backT' he asked of Ned, turning about to display his back to his brother ''It feels as though my backbone had been split from end to end, and that pieces of it are sticking out through my shirt''

 And gently took him by the hair. She led him to her desk, near by, Where she could keep him in her eye;
 And in his hand book she placed And turned him till the wall he faced.
 And standing there with book in hand
 Tom the pages slowly scanned; Then turning round his drowsy head,
 He to the teacher meekly said: "Say, Teacher, won't you come and LOOK! This is some curious sort of book ; I've gone the pages OCT and OCT, And never. saw such words be- fore"

Franklin'S Ready Wit.

EN ONG after the victories of Washing & ton over the French and English had kA made his name familiar to all of Europe, Benjamin Franklin chanced to dine with the English and French am- bassadors, when the following toasts were drunk:
 To England-the sun whose bright beams enlighten and fructify the remotest corners of the earthl'' proudly spake the English ambassador, raising his glass.
 The French ambassador, filled with na- tional pride, but too polite to dispute the previous toast, offered the following ::
 ITO France-the moon whose mild. steady and cheering rays are the delight of all nations, consoling them in darkness and making their dreariness beautiful"
 Franklin then rose and offered: 'sro George Washington, the Joshua who con- manded the sun and moon to stand still. and they obeyed him."
