1 He remembered that his had had xI |tfny piece chipped out of 1t. An in-| sistent element of equity in his ns- |.ure demanded that he should take q bite on of Miss Lucy's cake just theI size of what had been broken from| his. He did go. Then he took an |other little bite light beside the first lone. Then, to make it look even all |around. he thought he would bite onceI more around the edge in . circle. But he lost track of where he had started |from, and it was not until the gingerI snap was reduced to a damp, stickyI |object about the size of quarter thatI he stopped suddenly. for it had oc- |curred to him that if he ate it all heI |lost all chance of rubbing Sn the| boards. So. after a fearful struggle | with his frugal little German soul. he dropped the remains of the cake into the bag and went up to Miss Lucy'fI desk. She looked up with displease6 frown. which. when she saw the bag delightfully changed into nice smile Thank you. Frederick" she sait sweetly. Frederick William laid tn,
 bag on her desk and returned to Iii. seat. glowing with the satisfied bless edness of the cheerful giyer. few minutes later Miss Luc, stood up and called for order. "Chil |dren." she said. you know il is Fri I day afternoon. and think. since vol | have been very good, I am going u let you have little entertainment"
 
 |tainment. consisting: t is true. mainly of speaking. but not at all to be con founded with the awful memory gem. l that one was obliged to recite ever, incoming. Miss Lucy taught thes, memory gems of the "be-good-littie cnes-and-you-will-oe-happy" kind, ant Frederick William did not undersranc them at all. He thought of the uneI that he had recited that morning with the usual accompaniment of swailowsI and gurgles. 1t was I"wiliie Hands and. Willie Feet Head us straight to Sunshine Street." Frederick William had not yeti come to the age of criticism that one| acquires in the third grade, and heI still accepted absolutely all stato- Iments made by Miss Lucy. But heI |could not help wondering who WillieI Hands was and who Willie FeotI Iwas, and whether after they got himI Ito Sunshine street they would leavel |Heneman avenue and his mother. But| an entertainment-that was quite dif-| Iferent from memory gems. Miss Lucy.I fquoting. called 1t the spontaneous| land free utterance of thought con-I +cept." To the children It meant thatI Ione might say or sing anything ne| wished in the way that best suitedI him. Therefore the heart of Frederick William was glad when. the actionl Flesson being finished. Miss Lucy putt lon her entertainment smile. This' smile of Miss Lucy's was one of al great many.

Miss Lucy having acquired her en-l |tertainment smile, .Now children."l she said. who knows something to| |say?" A dozen hands waved wildly.

 Lucy. Who else? Josef?"
 Josef was foolish little boy whol always raised his hand and never|
 knew anything. He stood beside Miss|
