SAVING BLUE5ELL

Little Lucy Case had lots of good
times, for she had four brothers, all
old enough not to tease and not one of
them too old to play.
But they were busy a good deal of
the time and there were no little girls
near, so Lucy was lonely sometimes, till
enc day Brother Ben brought her home
a kitten Lucy named her Bluebell on
the spot
They grew to love each other very
much.
When Blueball had been with Lucy
nearly a year there was a horrible
noise one night that woke Lucy up, but
before she had a chance to be fright
ened Brother Ben rushed in, rolled her
tight in her blankets and ran down.
stairs with her. Their house was burn
ing!
Ben carried her to another house
across the way and went back to work
at the fire, when suddenly his mother
cried: "Lucy-where's Lucy?"
"Safe-I took her to Mrs. Hunts"
answered Ben, but his mother shook
her head She's not there" she called,
and everybody stopped a moment,
anxious busy as they were. Lucy was
a great deal more precious than the
burning housed
But suddenly some one called, Look
there" and pointed.
The fire lit up the whole inside of the
burning house, and there they could
see, coming down the stairway, the
flames lighting up her white night
gown and her tumbled curls, their
Lucy!
Everyone rushed toward her, but she
laughed at them, shook her head,
started to run herself. and in a second
was safe among them, wondering why
they looked so frightened and why her
mother was crying.
IT had to go back" she explained.

Saturday afternoon she saw no more
hawks that day
Another time, however, when she was
thinking of anything but hawks, dark
shadow suddenly fitted over the
ground, and at the same instant there
came cry from the poultry. Little
chicks fluttered tremblingly and were
while the larger fowls skulked under
fences and wood piles.
Only two little half-grown, mother

singled out, and with one great swoop
of his wings he was coming square

bloody, before Mr.. Hawk would own

DELIGHTFUL Experiences in AScotLand'S Seaport City
Honorable Mention)

A FTER the party left the Birkhead
IN docks they decided to take drive.
"A Mary and Jessie were delighted
with everything they saw.
Mary and her father stopped at
shop and when they came out she
showed the party a penknife. It's han
die was made from an opalescent shell.
Mary said the handle was just as white
as the little lambs wool.
Next they went to the floating land
ing stage. AS they passed the docks
they saw ships from America, France
and all other European countries.
Many of the docks surrounded great
pools. The ships were admitted through
water gates and then came into the
pools to be unloaded. Mr.. Hopkins
asked a man on the dock why they had
the floating landing stages. The man
told him it was on account of the r1s-
ing and falling of the tide.
After leaving the docks Mrs Weller
said she would like to see the BIRTH
place of Shakespeare, the great Eng
lish poet The rest of the party were
delighted with the idea, so they took
train for Stratford- on Avon.
That night they stayed at the old
Red House inn, where Washington Irv-
ing lived. The next morning they
drove to the old castle of Kenilworth,
which was five miles away.
They all enjoyed the drive and were
in high spirits when they took the fast
express from there in the afternoon for
London.
When they reached London they
went to the hotel at Trafalgar square.
Near the hotel they noticed a great
granite column with a bronze statue
of Admiral Nelson ON top. Mrs Hop
kins was rather tired so they decided
to rest until the next day, when they
would go to London bridge and many
other places.
Mary and Jessie said they would
have a hard time thinking what places
they preferred seeing in that large city.

~ Mr.. Hopkins asked mem

points of interest in Liverpool,
SO that they might lose no time
in beginning their sightseeing
trips.
Carl at once announced that the
only thing he cared about in the
whole city was the great floating
landing stage, at which he hoped
they would have their own ship
locked.
Mrs. Weller and Mrs. Hop
kins suggested drives through
the two beautiful parks, Seton
and Stanley, while Kate Weller
was interested in the enormous
docks that extended so far along
the water front of the city.
