THE GNoME AND THE OWL.
By Virginia Vale

M Once upon time little Gnonae was walking along through the woods He had been spending the day with some friends in the next village and was in a hurry to get back and get his supper before dark.
 All at once he heard something that sounded like some one calling for help. Yes he was sure some one was call ing He stopped and listened, but as he didn't hear any more he laughed and started on again. He had only gone 9 few steps when he heard the same noise again. The Gnomes are always ready to help any one in need even if they like to play pranks on their friends once in while.
 So he stopped again and listened. There it was right near that big tree, he was sure and he ran toward the tree. Again he heard it but it seemed in the other direction
 So he turned back and looked care fully up in the trees and there looking very wise, was his friend MT. Owl.
 He knew then what it was and that MT Owl thought it a. fine. Joke He remembered how he had played joke last week on the owl.
 So he said. Gan help you Mr. Owl I?', but the owl blinled his eyes and said: ou were in such a hurry I thought I would have a little fun. I haven't forgotten the joke you play ed on me. so called and kept you running back and forth and now that you have found out who it is you can run back and get your supper"
 When the Gnon1e got home he found they had eaten and his dinner was all cold. He told them about the owls fooling him and his friends thought it very funny but the Gnone just sat quiet thin king how he could get even with the wise old owl.
