The Story of Elise

There once lived in a little hut far
out in the wilderness a little girl
whose name was Elise This little
girls mother and father died many
months ago. One day she saw a
poor dog, .whose paw was hurt. Elise
felt sorry for him, and took him into
her hut and put rag. with oil on it.
After a while they became friends
and the dog stayed with her. One
day as Elise was away she became
sick and died
When she was sick her dog. whose
name was Rover, was always by her
bed, but when she died he was very
mean, and would bite everybody who
would come near, because he thought
they had taken his mistress. and soon
after they found him by her grave,
dead. LILLIAN BICKS,

Davie Dear kicked all apart the

back of big, shaggy dog. But
now the little boys leg and a part
of the dog were in one corner. the
dogs head was in another. part of

carpet. and in the middle of the
floor lay half of the little boys
face, with one eye gazing up at
Dayie with infinite reproach.
Impatiently, Davie turned 1T up
side down, avoiding the eyes of
mother Dear and nurse Nellie, as
he did so.
What kind of weather is this.
he demanded, in a surly voice, Il

and there hasn't been any ice, 'cept
just one day. And now Nellie just

knew it. When is it going to be

TITS too bad that you haven't
had an opportunity to use your
skates and sled," said mother
Dear" but this warm winter has
been a blessing to the poor. If you
had no money for coal, you'd rejoice
over the warm weather"
This sensible viewpoint impressed
Davie not at all.
Then why" he wanted to know
as he rose heavily from the floor
and stalked to the window, did l
get skates and a sled? Look at it
nowl Just a raining like every
thing" He stuck his nose against
the glass, which Immediately be-
came covered with steam from his
breath. With a rather dirty finger
Davie began to trace patterns on
the glazed surface.
"Davie! How many times have
/ told you that you must not do
that" cried mother Dear. what
do you mean by deliberately dis
obeying?"
I'll forgot" said Davie. sulk-
