tracks unless you see papa coming
on the other side"
Then, as it was almost time for the
papa to be coming home Dumpy-Doo
got her little sunbonnet, kissed her
mamma goodby and ran down the
little gra SIS grown suburb street toward
the railroad tracks, two blocks distant.
She reached the crossing and sat
down on a big stone to await her
papa's coming. After a few minutes
she espied man down the street who
resembled her papa, and just as she
was about to take Off her little sun
bonnet to wave to him he disappeared
into a shop at a distant corner.
Dumpy Doc jumped up from her seat
and ran across the railroad tracks,
going on to the shop she had seen the
man whom she thought to be her papa

looked about inside, but the place was
full of customers, and Dumpy-Doo
supposed her papa was in the rear of

and she thought that probably her
papa had gone out at that door, in
tending to walk around the block and
approach the railroad crossing from
another street Dumpy-Doo went out
at the side door and ran down the
street, hoping to overtake her papa.
She went quite a long way before she
realized that she was not taking any
notice of the distance. nor the corners
she had turned Then she stopped
and looked about her. The street was
strange to her, and she could not tell
one direction from another. She
thought she knew the direction in
which her own home lay, and started
out quickly, fearing that her father
would reach the crossing before she
should arrive there and go on home
without her, and that her mother would
be made very uneasy when the papa

But he enjoyed himself most of all
when a bull terrier named Bill and

thought it was very funny indeed.
Meanwhile the Artist Lady seemed in

it is true, but she seemed much more

Freddy had been very wicked. Uncle
Rob said so, when, after having left
his big red automobile in front of the
Merrills' house, he came back to find
the boy trying his best to ride away in
it. Cook said so, because Freddy had
slyly dropped horrid angleworms into
the soup. And nurse was quite posi-
tive that he had been "bad" during the
entire week. Twice, at least. he had
run away while they were walking in
the park-when, too. she was just
about to. take him out for a sail on
the lake!
All of these tales of Freddy's naugh
tiness had come to his mothers ears.
SO she made sure that Freddy was lis
tening when she said to Mr.. Merrill,
at dinner time:
There is in town an artist who is
celebrated for her portraits of children.
They say her work has great individ-
uality and charm, and that she clearly
shows the character of the child who
poses. Now | think L shall have her
make a picture of Teddy. His brother
has been in so much mischief that he
doesn't deserve to have a portrait
made"
But Freddy wasn't as greatly disap-
pointed as he should have been. While
frolicking in the nursery with his twin
brother the next morning he said, in a
not very comforting way:

DumpyDoo was funny name for
a tiny bit of a girl, was it not?
Dumpy-Doo was not her sure enough
her because she was such a dumpy lit
tie miss. Her real name was Grace,
but no one ever called her that.
Well, this little Dumpy-Doo lived
in the suburbs of a great city, ana
her papa went to work in the city
every day, leaving Dumpy-Doo and
her mamma alone till evening. Then
such good times they all had, when
Dumpy-Doo and her mamma would go
to meet the papa at railroad cross
ing, and from there they would walk
home together, hand-in-hand. Dumpy-
Doc would walk between her papa
and mamma, and she always felt that
nothing could harm her then.
Well, one evening Dumpy-Doos
mamma was i'll and she said to her
little girlie Daughter, mamma can
not go with you to meet papa this
evening; she is feeling too ill., with a
very bad headache. Do you think you
could go alone to meet papa?'
"Oh, yes, mammal" cried Dumpy-
Doc. "If neither of us go to meet
papa he will wonder what is the mat
ter. I'll run down to the railroad
crossing and wait for him."
"Well, the crossing is only two
blocks from home, and you can see
our cottage all the way" said the
mamma. "And there are no trains
passing at this time in the afternoon,
only in the mornings and at midnight
do they come laundering along. So

less, he was troubled when mother lift
ed him beside her in the carriage that
afternoon and they drove to the stu
do of the artist.
Having left the carriage mother led
the way up narrow, twisting flights of
stairs. Everything was dingy and
dusty and the dim light made the
building seem scary to the little boy.
Still he pressed his teeth closely to-
gether and resolved that he would be
brave.
A moment later Teddy had forgotten
his fears and was as happy as he could
be, for he was being kissed and Rugged
by the Artist Lady, who smiled kindly
at him and talked as though she had
known him always. And he didn't
