THE LAZY STAR.

All the stars were shining and
twinkling their brightest and best
save one, and that one simply
wouldn't shine that night.
Mrs. Moon came hurrying up to
see what was wrong, but the star
only frowned darkly and said he
was. tired working all the time, and
that he would far rather be star
dancing on the waves Of the sea.
Those are only fairy stars. y
Mrs. Moon told him, mot real
stars, and since you will not shine
in the evening you must be the
morning star, and shine after the
other stars have gone to bed"
But instead of shining as he had
been told, he went to bed. 1t
wasn't long till Mrs. Moon discov-
cred that he was not shining, and
straightway she went to the lazy
star to scold him.
you have disobeyed my COM
mand,' she said, "and since you
are too lazy to even shine / will
punish you by giving you your wish
in way. Henceforth you and your
children after you must live inA the
sea with all the fishes. You will
be dull gray COLOR
Nowadays sometimes we find
some of this lazy stars children ly-
ing on the sea beach, and we call

to bed. Besides, she had been to a
picnic and had eaten picnic things.
She tossed on the bed q while and
then went to lie down under ner

She was Just browsing when she
heard scratching on the roof of q
one-story wing to the house under
her window. The next moment she
felt form brush over her. She
looked up and saw a man.
She guessed right away that he
was burglar. She jumped up and
stood before him in her nightgown.
What do you want, sir?" she
asked. her lip trembling, although
she was determined to be brave.
"You shut your mouth, see!"
growled the man, stepping nearer
her.
"Now, be quiet. please" pleaded
Margaret. "My papa and mamma
are downstairs on the front porch,
and l don't want you to scare them.
Papa might come up and-would
you kill him?"

"You climb under the bed, or he'll

she jumped into bed herself. The
burglar crawled underneath.

shades, from deep cream to the
real wood browns, with harmonious
touches of green. The wall covering
was a green-striped paper with
cream background against which
the few tastefully framed copley
prints, photographs and notices
were displayed to the best advan-
tage. The rugs scattered about the
bare floor were made of brown
warped, heavily woven rags, with

The furniture consisted of a
plain green-enameled iron bed, a
chiffonier, small desk, dressing
table and chair Of natural oak;
two willow rockers and one small
table, all three green stained, a

Hence. the idea first advanced by the

the same purpose-the protection of the

the entertainment of the public.
Although there was natural hcSl-
fancy on the part of the high officials
to discuss i'm any way the prospects or
