up In a schoolhouse all day looking at
mysterious things in books, with the eyes
of the awful teacher on him, and mayhap
the teachers wicked whip across his lit
tie back should he offend in any way?
But of his apprehensions not one word
did he say to granny or grandpap They
would not have understood. So he suf-
fered in silence, feeling with fear and
trembling that his time of freedom and
happiness was fast coming to an end, for
on Monday-two days distant-he would
put on his new clothes and enter school
a newly fedged pupil. And SO the two
days intervening were passed In silent
forebodings. Then Monday morning ar

She would tidy up the house as nicely as

Pinkey confessed her own faults and told
about the robbery. At first Mrs. Doo-doo
was dazed. Pinkey had gone off without
her consent, and the house had been
robbed by q common thief 1t was too
much for her to grasp of a sudden. But
gradually the whole truth dawned upon
her, for Pinkey showed her the empty
drawers in the big chest Then the good
mother understood ALL Owing to Pinkeys
repentance and grief, Mrs. Doo-doo
thought her punishment great enough

meet him there. And when the cross
roads were reached he had made up his
mind to take the wrong road. Where 1t
would lead him he did not even try to
guess. 1t would carry him away from the
school. That was one consolation.
He followed the road leading to the
right and soon found himself walking
through meadow towards a big farm
house. Surely, he could not be on pri-
yate road! But he had little time to
conjecture, for two great dogs, seeing the
approach of a stranger, began barking
Justify, and Leon, frightened almost out
of his wits, turned and fed. Back over
the road he ran, and before he realized
what he was doing he had turned into a
dim road which led across the meadow
towards high hill. Up and up the long
and tresome hill Leon went, his nice new
clothes becoming dusty and his face damp
from Precipitation. But he was deter
mined to pass the day away from that
terrifying thing-the schoolhouse-and,
worst of all. the TEACHER.
After walking until about worn out,
Leon was happy to see a pretty little
white house on top of the hill. To 1t he
hurried, for no sign of a dog was there.
He intended to ask the mistress of the
place to direct him to his home, where he
would go and confess that he had not
gone to ScnO0l at ali. lie knew tyranny
would scold him and that Grandpap would
say, what, won't go to school and be-

Granny's scolding, II by so doing
he might avoid going to school. He
would much rather grow up to be
farmer-like Grandpap-or become a stage
driver. Leon's home was many. many
miles from railroad, and stage coach

~ Kings were not so bad for Minko
during his mothers life, but after
her death he went to live with his
- stepaunt, who was a very cross
old woman and who disliked chill
dren above all things on top Of the
earth. and more especially boys. And
she lived as far from a town or city rs
she possibly could. SO when Minko was
once installed in her household he was
virtually a prisoner, cut off from the rest
of the world.
1t was "Minko. do this Minko, do
that" all day long, for the old aunt
seemed to keep the child on the jump
continually, never giving him moment
to rest. And II. from fatigue or Ill
health, he Jagged a moment the wicked
old woman would fog him with a heavy
strap. So poor Minko's life was far from
happy.
During the early fall Minko was set TO
help the gardener, who, from having
been so long in the employ of such
wicked woman had become himself heart
less and cruel. And although he knew
the orphan Minko was much abused he
did not try to make his lot the easier
by kind words or considerate treatment.
Indeed. he set very hard tasks for Minko,
and scolded him severely II he COM
planned of them. There were many big
yellow pumpkins in the garden which
must be carried to the cellar. and this
work fell to the lot of Minko.
Come, be brisk. you laggard!' the
gardener yelled angrily at Minko as the
little fellow, laden with pumpkin as
heavy as himself. staggered slowly
through the garden towards the huge
vegetable cellar Come, move along, or
We'll have to try some strap OIL
But during the afternoon the cruel
gardener went to his cottage to have
an hours rest. Before going he had in.
structed Minko to finish placing the
pumpkins-many dozens of them-in the
cellar before HIS (the gardener's) return.

said Mrs. Doo-doo "Plnkey must have
the work done before my return, and
done well. So, you may both help her
all that you can. And when reach
home If the cupboard is nice and neat,
the glassware shining and the silver look
ing like new, why, l will give each OF
you a honeycake."
Hearty and Sandy said they would
assist Pinkey with her work; then they
went on toward the home of Mrs Doc
doc, while that lady bear hurried toward
the River. But while she went along
her mind was worried over the visit of
Hearty and Sandy Bear, for she knew
them to be naughty cubs and feared
their presence would cause Pinkey to
slight her work.
And the good mother bear had cause
for worry, as we shall see. When
Hearty and Sandy reached the house Of
Mrs. Doo-doo, most cozy little place
beneath great spreading tree, they
found Pinkey sitting on the doorstep,
looking very unhappy. She had gathered
a few leaves for the cupboard shelves,
but was resting before putting them in
place. Not that she was tired. not at
all; but just n bit lazy.

mother is away?' asked Hearty, a mis-

Pinkey, while a naughty, lazy little
cub, had never thought Of doing anything
SO wicked; but, like oil children who
hate work, she gave ear to her visitors

agreed Hearty, land have such lots of
fun till evening. And our mothers will
be SO glad to see us when we come home

At first Pinkey demurred. A guilty
feeling took possession of her when she
entertained the idea of going with her
young neighbors to the mountain without
her mothers consent. But after half an
hours persuasion, Hearty and Sandy pre-
vailed, and Pinkey, getting her bonnet,
locked the cottage door, hid the key I'M
der stone close by and went Off with
her visitors, the very naughty Hearty
and Sandy.
When Pinkey hid the key beneath the
stone, she did not see two bright eyes
watching her from behind tree, and
very soon after she had departed from her
home, dirty. mean-faced bear came
forth from behind the tree and walked
boldly to the stone, procured the key

from Its hiding place, and entered the
house of Mrs. Doo-doo. There he rum
mayed about, taking whatever pleased
him. Silverware, foods, Mrs. Doo-doo's
best frock and Pinkey's fine Sunday
shoes and hat, all went into q big goat
skin bag he carried. And even Pinkey's
fine winter muff and her overshoes were
taken by this thief who was none other
than a tramp bear much sought after by
the bear authorities of the Woods.
While the thief was filling his bag In
Mrs. Doo-doo's coy home Pinkey was

the mountains. But she had scarcely left
her own dooryard when her conscience
began torturing her. What would Mamma

with them, but something good within
her told her to turn a deaf ear. And be-

she was), Pinkey turned her face home

of it."
But for the first time in her life Pinkey
acted according to the dictates of her
better self. She reached home Just as
the tramp bear was leaving the place,
his well-filled bag slung over his back.
In vain did Pinkey run after him and
scream: stop theft" He got away in
the woods, and Pinkey. weeping bitterly
for she knew he must have taken her
mothers most valuable belongings-ran
