WY HEN you see the Clouds march
w ing splendidly across the sky
on sunny days, you may know
chat they are going TO pay visits or TO
market, or 70 see the West Wind; in
short they are on their way to some
place in particular. When they float
laIily along, they are just taking the
children out TO play, as mothers and
maids take you to the Park. The big,
soft, pillowy clouds are the Mothers;
the little cuddling ones are the Babies.
One day, a Mother was sailing along
on her way to the West Winds Palace,
where she was to take tea, and she
had her little daughter with her. But
Mother Cloud sailed so fast that the
little one trailed behind her a little,
because she could not sail so rapidly.
Along came a sportive Breeze and
rufled the soft curls Of the Baby Cloud
as he whispered in her ear, run away
with me, little Cloud; come, play, dance
and float with mel know where the
Whipped Cream Clouds are. We will
60 there | know where the sunbeams
play. We will 60 therel Comel"
Little Cloud Runs Away.
Hand in hand, the two ran away
across the blue sky. Mother Cloud was
in such a hurry that she did not miss
her baby until she arrived at the West
'bWind's Palace. Then the Breeze and
the Little Cloud were far away, having
such fun that they gave no thought to

"Sit on my cloak" said the little
Breeze, "and play that you are prin-
cess riding in your chariot" So she
sat on his floating cloak and was borne
along exactly like a princess. They

the sleepy stars, they tried to make
blue shadows. on the mountains like the
big clouds, but the little Cloud was too
small to make shadow. She few too
near the sun, too, and would have been
scorched If the little Breeze had not
waited her away just in time. They
locked in the Thunder Cave, and were
filled with terror at the black clouds
they saw in there; so they ran away
as fast as they could. They played all
the long sunny afternoon, without
thinking how naughty it Is for little
cloud TO leave her mother and run
away with a Breeze.
Before they knew It, the West was
hung with royal colors, purple and
gold and fiery red. The Sun descended
from his chariot, and prepared to 60 to
sleep. One by one, the birds ceased
singing, the trees were still, the winds
folded their long wings and rested
quietly, the curtains Of night dropped
silently around the world. Mothers
called to the children to come in Cor
the bedtime story and TO go to sleep.
Lamps glimmered from the little win
dows down in the town. There was a
strangeness and loneliness in the big

MARY'S WISHES
BY HARRIET WRIGHT (aged 10y.

n nee upon time there was
little girl by the name Of Mary
Jonston. She was very poor.
She and her mother lived in hut in
the wood. Mary had never lived In q
town and had never seen a city. She
had never had a doll and had only
seen one once. Then she had said she
would like one like 1t. But her mother
had said they were too poor, could not
afford It.
One day, when she was taking a
walk, she heard a rustic close by. She
turned to see what 1t was by her side
and there stood q pretty fairy. The
fairy ssidi "Mary, you have been a
good girl lately and l will now give
you thres wishes. You may use them
any time you want to. Now will bid
you goodby." So saying, she van
ished.
Mary's first wish was (you will think
Il was doll, but It was not) for
better dwelling place for her and her
mother. When she went TO the place
where the hut had stood she saw there
a big house. Mary went in and found
Il had no furniture In IL SO she wished
for some. After this was granted her
she began to be foolish and wished to
be rich. The fairy would not grant
this wish, so they became very poor
again.
One day, after Mary was young
lady, she was sitting on the stump OF
q tree when she heard voice say:
"Helloi Do you know of any place
where l could get a meal and sleeping
quarters for the night" Mary turned
and saw a young man standing by her
side. She said: "Yes sir, | know
place. 1t is my house. and will glad
ly keep you for the night"

there. She was all alone in the night

seen anywhere. What should she do?
The stars twinkled and blinked and
winked merrily. Could they help the
little Cloud? She approached one

where my mother is?"
~ do not know, little Cloud. She Is
probably asleep with the Daytime
Things"
Tho baby Cloud foated helplessly
about until she met Lady Moon.
please, dear Lady Moon, will you
show me where my mother Is" she
pleaded.
The Moon Can't Help, Either.
"Dear little Cloud" said Lady Moon,
81 cannot see so far. You must ask
the birds or the Night Wind. Perhaps
they can tell you"
SO the little Cloud few low over the
earth searching for the birds. who had
all gone to sleep long before. Only
the Hoot Owl was shrieking in the
night She was too afraid to ask him.
She found q Katy-dd, and weepingly
asked her: "Oh, little Katy-did, will
you tell me where my Mother is?"
And the Katy-did replied: "Katy-did,
katy-did, katy-did," and would not say
another word. The little Cloud wan
dered away, too discouraged 10 ask any
more questions. She began to cry, and
her tears fell on the sleepy flowers,
but they did not wake up to help her.
Then, with great rushing and swish
through the tree tops, came the great
Night Wind and gathered the lost baby
in his arms. "Oh, my dear Night
Wind" she cried. please take me
home, and will never, never run away
