word, for fear of having his palace all

with them. Mary crept back into bed
and finally went to sleep thinking of
the Princess Victoria. Towards morn
ing Mary heard a buzzing sound and
looking up saw large queen bee en-
tering the open window with the Prin-
cess Victoria mounted upon its back.
Here, take back your old princess, 4"
said the bee, and it threw the dollie
into Mary's arms, and then. "Oh! Oh!
My! Mammal! Mammal" cried Mary.

IOu Sdy you saw d OWdI1 TAKE my
little queen?" asked Mary as she
wheeled the empty buggy along.
Yes, I'm sure"
I'VE better start in the direction he
went" said Mary.
Mary! Mary" Mary looked around
and a small white daisy. said to her:
II saw the dwarf take your doll He
went this way"
They came to a large rock and
door opened into it. They went into
the room, where two dwarfs were
throwing water on the dolls head.
They thought she was a real person
and had tainted because she was so
white
Stop! Stop!" cried Mary, running
for her doll. The dWarfs did not hold
X lght and she pulled away the doll and
ran. She saw a big bear after her and
knew if she was caught she would be
eaten alive.
Mamma! Mammal" called Mary.
Her mother came running into Mary's
room. She had been dreaming and
called in her sleep. 1t was near morn
ing and Mary soon awoke, put on her
clothes and ran out in the yard to find
her doll.
She took her doll and ran into the
house and told mamma of her dream.
(No Signature.)
They all went around the garden till
they could not think of anywhere else
to look, so Mary went into the house
again and lay down on the bed and
cried. After while her nurse came
in and found her crying as if her heart
would break, and as the nurse knew
nothing about the doll she said let's
think of some limericks to send to Aunt
Laurie tomorrow and then maybe you
can forget about it until in the morn
ing, and then maybe your mother will
be able to tell where it is.
So they thought of all the words to
rhyme with cat, but she felt so sleepy
that she could not think of anything
good to go with it and SO she went to
bed and was soon asleep and dreamed
that her doll was in the clothes closet
crying and the noise woke her up So
she thought that she would go to see if
she was there, as she had heard that
sometimes dreams come true and so
she went to the clothes closet and there
sat the doll looking very contented; !;
so she took her back to bed. In the
morning her mother told her that she
had brought the doll in so as to teach
Mary to be more careful of her doll.
