I dropped my clothes right on the floor
A thing / never did before
And put each stocking in shoe
She just hates that-and didn't do
My hair. or wash my face. or brush
My teeth. and left things In a saush
All round the room: and then I took
Her picture and my fairy-book
She gave me on my last birthday
In June. and hid 'em both away.

Up in the middle of the light,
To show 'em just the way / feel,
Cause he said: kiss the child, Lucille
Don't let her go to bed like this
without your usual good Knight kiss" >
But she Just shook her head and turned
Her back, and then my eyes they burned
Like fire. It's been a horrid day.
And then. Of course, / didn't say

struck twelve. You'll just have to
take a long nap, and be all rested,
and promptly at half-past four this
wonderful fairy team will come whiz-
zing around the corner"
That was every bit poor Kitty
could get out of him, though she
coaxed and teased and wheedled as
only little sick girl can.
By the time four o'clock came,
there was an interested audience
grouped around Kitty's chair, for all
the children on the street had come
to see what this wonderful new kind
of team might be.
Just as she thought the time
would never come, she heard great
jingling of bells and sounds of loud
"whoas" from the direction of the
barn. She craned her neck to see,
and when around the corner, her
mysterious team at last came into
sight, she clapped her hands in joy;
for there was big Brother Tom, all
harnessed up in old dolly's harness,
neck, and prancing along like a truly
horse, while behind him came that
wonderful push buggy.
And what do you suppose it was?
Why, just the wheelbarrow, all COW
cred over with streamers and flowers
and mammals bright-colored afghan,
with plenty of pillows to make it
ride easy.
Kitty was lifted carefully in, and
the reins and whip placed in her
hands. Then such a frolic began as
you never saw She soon had to
drop the whip and put the reins over
her head, SO as to have her two
hands to hold by, for Tom las as
good as a circus horse for the tricks
he could do. He rode her backwards
and forwards, tilted her high up in
front, dropped her wy down in back,
or nearly spilled her out on one side.
The horse danced, SHE'D, kicked
out with most awful fierceness when
the friendly admirers got too near,
galloped, trotted, ran away, baked,
reared, whinned most realistically
and finally convulsed his audience
by taking a drink out of a pail of
water mother had set OF the steps.
When Kitty had had ride enough,
she fed him some popcorn out of her
hand, and he tried to nibble her fin
gers in true pony fashion.
Nov you know what a push bug
gy is, don't you?" Tom said, when
she was finally tucked up in her big
chair again to get rested. "How do
you think you like it?''
II think it was the most fun of any
ride ever had" said Kitty, happily.

MY RIDE WITH WILD ROAM.
A True Story,

One time at night, when l was a
little girl-a little small, small baby
my mother went out to the pasture
gate to milk the COWS. My mother
always did the milking. On one arm
she carried two big bright tin pals,
and on the other arm she carried me
her little three-year-old baby
daughter, and I had my arm tight
around her neck.
The cows were waiting at the gate.
My mother set one of the milk pals
on one Of the big, f1at-topped gate
posts, and then she placed me on the
other. 1t was my accustomed seat
at milking time. 1t was a fat, large,
nice post, and I remember what a
nice, safe, high seat it was, and how
we'll liked to sit there. I could see
all that was going on, and my mother
and / often chartered merrily to-
gether while she was milking.
One Of the cows was called "Wild
Roam She was a large, long, 1.-the
COW, the most ungentle of the herd.
but one of the best for milk and but
ter.
Wild Roam was very restless that
night of which am telling you. She
pushed the other COWS around rough
ly, and Just as my mother was sitting
down to milk one Of them she made
an angry, savage rush at gentle Mool-
ey, kind, peaceful cow, with not a
horn on her head. Wild Roam had
the habit of using her own horns so
freely that my father had thought it
wise to cut their sarp points and re-
place them with blunt brass tips that
are sold expressly for that purpose.
When Wild Roam ran at Mooley
she had to pass by the gate-post
where my mother had placed me, and
at the very moment when she threw
up her head with a mad toss, she was
passing right under my feet, and her
two brass-tipped horns went right
under my stout bingham dress, and
with one f1irt my little self was sit
ting right on her big, bony head right
between her horns, and the next Sec
ond the astonished cow was making
a wide sweep out into the middle of
