seized beautiful Tottie Spriggs in his
teeth and got up from the table and
started to run out Of the room with her.
Both Mabel Tillman and Jennie John
son were perfectly astonished and did
not know what to do about it, They
had never known Rover to behave in
such a manner before, and they were
perfectly horrified to see beautiful Tot
tie being hauled about in this fashion.
Mabel Tillman started forward to res
cue Tottie Spriggs from the naughty
Rover and so did Jennie Johnson, and
what do you think happened next?
why Adelaide de Montmorency, who
had been in Mabel Tillmans arms all
this time suddenly leaped out of them
straight at naughty Mr. Rover and flew
full in his face whereupon Rover was
so astonished that he dropped Tottie
Spriggs and picked up Adelaide de
Montmorency and dashed out of the
room with her.
Jennie and Mabel picked up Tottie
Spriggs and looked her over and they
found that she wasn't very much hurt.
Her satin frock had couple of large
spots on it, but Jennie said that these
could easily be fixed by making little
tuck in the satin. There was nothing
else the matter with Tottie Spriggs,
and so they went to look for Adelaide
de Montmorency.
They found poor Adelaide way at the
other end of the house in a most
dilapidated condition. Her clothes were
torn and soiled, her gloves were miss
ing, her stockings had been quite
chewed up and her poor hair was terri
bly, disheyeied. They picked her up
tenderly.
You are heroine, Adelaide de Mont
morency," said Jennie, solemn1y. You
saved Tottie Spriggs, and / just love
you for it,
But look at her Dress" said Mabel.
Yes" said Jennie. but we will make
her beautiful new clothes of blue satin
and rose colored velvet and we will get
her some new hair and she will look
perfectly lovely"
And Adelaide de Montmorency smiled
and smiled.

Biddy's Woe

A hen went out for stroll one day
ct was lovely winter weather);
Shed laid ain egg and she sang her lay,
AS she proudly preened each feather.
Dozens of eggs / have laid, 1 know,
But where are they gone, j wonder?
] wanted to raise a brood of chicks,
But some one has made a blunder
And carried them off to scramble or
boil.
Or perhaps make custard pie!
I'm childfess hen, and / don't think
it's fair"
And a tear stood in Biddy's eye.
In an incubator safe were her eggs
With others, good care receiving,
And the hatch came off, the brooders
were full,
While Biddy was laying and grieying.
But, oh, dear me! when the chickens
ran out,
Each one was just like the other,
And poor little orphan chickens were
they,
For they never knew father nor
mother!
And now don't you think that many
of us
Can feel for the hen in this story?
For so often it is that we do the hard
work,
And somebody else gets the glory!

I TITLE Tottie Spriggs was a dear
little doll that Jennie Johnson re-
ceived for a Christmas present.
when Tottie arrived Christmas MORN
lnS she wore a charming pink frock
trimmed with swansdown and a cap of
swansdow1 to match. She had also a
swansdown muff and collar and white
boots and stockings and shoes, and al
together she was a very charming doh
indeed
Mabel TiIlman who was Jennie John
sor's very dearest friend, admired Tot
tie Spriggs very much. Mabel Till
man had a new doll also, but her doll
was not pink and white and satin and
swansdown like Tottie Spriggs. She
had only a dark green chintz gown
win a dark green sunbonnet and red
stockings and black shoes She was a
large, wholesome creature, with a
plain, kind face. but Mabel Tillman
was not al all satisfied with her She
looked at Tottie Spriggs enviously, and
she wished, oh, how she wished! that she
was Jennie Johnson. But. because her
do was so very plain she decided that
she should have very fancy name. so
she called her Adelaide de Montmor-
ercy.
One AFTERNOON Aleda1de de M0ntmor-
ency, Tottie SpIiggs, Jennie Johnson
and Mabel Tillman were all at Jennie
Johnson's house playing tea party. They
were having perfectly delightful time,
except that Mabel could not help feel
ing very much disturbed now and then
because Adelaide de Montmorency was
so exceedingly plain and so unfashion-
ably attired. Still Mabel forgot all
these troubles now and then and en-
joyed the tea PARTY very much be-
cause there was such lovely tea set
and pink and white candy hearts and
sugar cake.
Presently, just as they were about
finishing the tea party. Rover, who was
very large yellow dog, came bounding

Baby'S Compliment

His father and mother were both away,
And baby and had been friends all
day;
Many and gay were the games we
played
Baby ordered and / obeyed.
We hid in the most improbable hooks,
We looked at the pictures in all the
books;
We played at touch till his cheeks grew
red
And his curls were tangled about his
head.
He trampled- my gown with his rough
little feet,
He climbed on my lap and his kisses
were sweet;
Then, as he scrambled from off my
knee,
You'd make a good mother" said
baby to me.
/ have had compliments now and then
From grownup women and grownup
Some were commonplace, some were
new,
Never has one of them rung so true,
Never has one seemed half so real
Baby compared me to his ideal!
He Would Never Know
Half a pound of tea, please"

Doesn't matter which. It's for a
blind person."-Bon Viyant.

come and have some tea and he seemed
to like the idea very much and came
over and sat down by the tea table and
looked so very hungry that they were
quite sure all the pink and white can
dies that were left would be too few to
satisfy him. Then Rover looked around
and blinked and bestowed some very
tender grances on Tottie Spriggs, so
