UGLY MATILDA MAY AN
UNL0VED DOLL BABY
Her Proud Mamma Attempted to Dis
pose of Her, but Becomes Re-
morsefuI and ReneWs
Her Love

Matilda May, you aren't fit to be
seen with respectable dolls! and i've
got to 'spose of YOU
Little Rebecca stood holding at arms
length a doll minus one leg, a scalp and
a right eye, and clad in a. torn and
faded frock.
Besides, Dorothy's coming to a
party tomorrow with all her dolls" Re
becca continued, "and you couldn't
come to a party. Matilda May, you
know you couldn't. I'll let you see
your own self in the glass-there, how
do you think you'd look beside Miss
Ethel ana Dorothy's Gladys? No, you
are too horrid for anything, and I'll
have to 'spose of you right away"
Slowly, Rebecca, holding Matilda May
face downward, left the play room and
falteringly descended the back stairs TO
the hall cupboard.
Before the door she paused for a
moment, and turning Matilda face up
ward again looked solemnly into the
smudgy countenance.
I'm sorry, Matilda May, but I've got
to do it, because you're such fright"
And Rebecca, opening the closet door,
showed Matilda into mothers rag-bag
hanging just inside.
TT won't be awfully dark if I leave
your head out, so, Matilda May" she
said earnestly, land if 1 don't shut the
closet door real tight. Good by, dear,
I must put the other children to bed
now;" and, turning quickly, Rebecca
closed the door half way, then without
once looking back darted off upstairs
to the playroom again.
For a time her motherly cares alb
sorbed her, as there were eight dolls
to be undressed. There was Miss Ethel,
the beautiful French young lady with
real hair; Simon, the sailor boy; Chrys-
anthemum, the little japanese girl:

gave orders that no gun was to be
fired on his ranch. One may now
travel for miles through the forest adj
jacent to this ranch without seeing
a deer or other wild animal, but with
in its boundaries he finds the deer less
wild than the domestic cattle.
They feed undisturbed by the side of
the road as wagons or horSemen pass
along. They do not hesitate to jump
the fence around the garden and help
themselves to vegetables. In fact, it is
nearly impossible to raise vegetables
on the ranch, even on the ground ad-
joining the houses.
The deer have strong allies in the
rabbits and birds in this respect, for
their immunity from harm has led
them to believe that fruit, berries and
vegetables have been planted especially
for them.
when my foreman told me that the
feed was getting short for my CATTLE"
said Mr.. Knight, recently, II told him
to dispose of the cattle, and let the
grass have a chance to grow. I do not
think it was question of deer or
cattle, for they do not interfere with
each other, and the deer really eat
very little grass"
The men on the ranch are of differ
ent opinion. and say it was Mr.
Knights tender heart that induced him
to sell off his cattle in order that the
deer might have plenty of feed during
the coming winter.
Politicians wondered when Mr.
Knight put aside the offer of the vice
presidential nomination. If he had
accepted it would have meant his fore
going the pleasure of retiring to his
ranch, and he says he would not give
up that pleasure for all the political
honors that could be thrust upon him.
