The Crunk That Expressed IfSeD
BY Doris Webb.

Chicago TO get neckt!e he spoke 10 the
trunk with such expressive words that II
went right back home again without an
swering. But that was the end OF all pleas
ant relations between them. The trunk
turned into a perfect tramp and expressed
itself all over the country till the man
began 10 fear he would never see his collars
again. At last he consulted baggage mas
ter. who thought long time and then said,
profoundly and firmly THAT trunk needs 70
be checked And so. when the man found
his trunk, he checked IL. with the aid OF
the baggage master, and since then It has
given him no trouble.

BIRAULi.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: hope
you will like this story. One often hears OF
watch dogs. but did you ever hear Of a
watch cat? never did until our faithful
Birauli proved to us that cats as we'll as
dogs have their fair share of sagacity and
vigilance What I am going to tell you
about happened IN India. as my father and
my mother and myself, when was a small
baby attended by our train Of servants
and, Of course, by Biraul. were travelling
from one hill station in northern Burmah
to another. It was Journey OF seven
days, and at night we stopped at the
bungalows along the road which the
British government provides for the use
Of travellers.
One night when my mother was going to
bed she found Birauli in my crib. This
was q most unusual performance, and my
mother, remembering tales she had heard
about cats snothering babies, chased her
away But IN a few moments she was
back again, and mother do what she
would. could not keep her out Of my crib.
So thinking that after all she had never
known a cat 10 do a baby harm, she let her
stay, and went TO bed. During the night

There was once trunk that didn't know
how 10 express itself But IT took CONVEX
alton lessons and learned. After that II
used to express itself all over. and the man
who owned IL and who kept his collars In
the top tray had TO take the train and go
after his trunk every time he wanted
collar Then he would express the trunk
back again. because when 1t caught sight
OF him the trunk was too astonlshed to ex-
press itself But after while II would
re over its self-possesslon anC It's power OF
self-expression, and would express Itself TO

she was awakened by A fierce growing
and splitting. and other sounds Of war go
ing on near my bed. She struck light
and discovered that a great jungle cat had
crept through the window near the crib
and was making strenuous efforts TO rout
Birauli and get at my face. But Birauli
had held her own. and was biting and
scratching the other cat with as much
courage and zeal as though II were one OF
her own kittens she was defending.
Mother called my father, and they drove
the beast out. fastening windows and doors

Birauli followed them, and satisfying her
self that all was well. went TO sleep. She
had doubtless smelt the jungle cat and so
had made herself my defender.

KEEP UP WITH YOUR SKATES.

Roy has a pair OF roller skates
Ball-beartng skates all new and bright
And down the street he skates with glea,
Nor swerves he 10 the left or right
But. oh. alas How sad 10 see
The skates go faster than the boy.
And while they smoothly coast ahead,
A little way behind is Roy.
The tumble comes. and Roy sits down,
His speedy feet he contenplates.
Take warning by this, girls and boys.
And don't go slower than your skates.
