Ly6ia's Vacation
BY WILMA KORADE, Aged IL.


Lydia was dark-haired little girl,
who lived with her mother in crowd
ed tenement house. She was only ten
years old, but she had to take care Of
the home, because her mother had TO
work all day to support herself and
Lydia. Lydia's father had died when
she was a very small child
Lydia went to school and to church
regularly. The Sunday School she at
tended had planned for all the children
who were too poor to 60 away during
their vacations to be taken TO the coun-
try to a home during the summer.
Lydia was one Of the children who was
asked. Her mother was very happy
when she heard of the plan, and read
lily answered: yes, think it will be
perfectly lovely for Lydia" Lydia
was just as happy.
Vacation came at last, and the next
day Lydia said goodby and then board
ed the train and waved her hand for
the last time in long while to her
mother. 1t took several hours to get
to the Catskill Mountains, and Lydia
looked out of the window during the
journey and watched everything she
saw. 1t was all so new and interesting
to her
At last they arrived at the house. 1t
was about o'clock, so they were just
in time for tea. After they finished
they went outside and looked around
the country. They went to bed at s
o'clock because they were tired from
the long journey.
The next morning they got up very

A SHORT time ago, on very hot
n Saturday, the New York Fire
Department held its annual pa
rade. The people saw the blue-clad
heroes march in straight lines. with
their plunging horses pulling heavy
cleaning fire engines, long, graceful
automobile hook and ladder trucks and
all the rest of the apparatus, both old
and new.
The crowd saw these brave fellows
climb up the building that was erected
before the grandstand just as they do
a. a real fire, using their ladders and
ropes, hose and axes as if they were in
earnest. An interesting feature Of the
parade was the presentation Of medals
for bravery to the heroes Of the year.
Each one looked happy and pleased as

When she went to school she always
avoided all the mud puddles; and when
she came home from school she SAT
quietly on the porch, cutting paper
dolls out Of pure white paper.
Gingerbread Dogs Muddy Paws on her
The result Of this way OF living was
that Peppermint Cream became IN
bearably proud and naughty. One day
as she was returning from school a
noisy Gingerbread Dog bounded out OF
the big Chocolate Mansion, and, run
ming up to Peppermint Cream, put both
his muddy paws on her dress.
Peppermint Cream was dreadfully
annoyed, though, after all, the poor dog
had not made much Of stain.
Get down, you dirty thing" she
scolded. bad, bad dog"" And she
slapped the poor Gingerbread Dog till
he put his tail between his legs and
skunk away.
Peppermint Cream walked down the
street, still in a bad temper, when she
met Peter Sweet Chocolate, who offered
to carry her schoobooks.
She Haughtily Refuses Peters Offer.
Peppermint Cream tossed her head.
NO, indeed" she said, scornfully. GLOW
dare you speak to me, you brown-faced
thing! Go away this minute"
Peter simply looked at ho-, lifted his
little cap and walked away. Pepper
mint Cream suddenly felt extremely
ashamed Of herself, for she knew in her
heart of hearts that Peter Sweet-Choco-
late was as nice a boy as there was in
all Candy Town.
Just then Mr. Horehound Drop came
around the corner in his new auto
mobile. Mr.. Horehound Drop was
not very nice, and Peppermint's moth
or had ctten told her never to get
into his car. But this was GER
tainly Peppermint's naughty day, for
when Mr.. Horehound Drop, who was
feeling gooL -natured, called out, "Get
in. little girl, and I'll take you for a
ride" Peppermint never hestated a
moment, but hoped right in.
Chirr! Whiz! Away they went, fly
ing down the hard lump-sugar road.
Peppermint Cream was terrified at the
speed Trees and houses streaked past
like lightning. eppermint had just a
glimpse Of her mother standing on her
porch, and wanted TO call out to her,
but they had passed before she could
get the words out of her mouth. She
began to be frightened, and cried.
ooh, stop, Mr.. Horehound Drop,
stop" but they were going so fast that
the words blew away as soon as she
said them and never reached Mr.. Hore-
hound Drops ear.
Suddenly Mr. Horehound Drop came

rings whether II Is station to which
his company "rolls" or not; II he
thinks it is he hurries into place; II
not, he takes more time. He Is always
right, and when in harness and tug
cling at the heavy engine he can al
most smell out where the fire is with
out being guided" according to his
driver.
When running from his stall to his
place before the engine he has but a
narrow space to go through, and he
will hurt himself rather than hurt
man or dog that chances to be in his
path. A man he will nose out of his
way, while a dog or cat he will delib-
erately jump over. 1t is wonderful to
think of an animal having the sense to
do this in the excitement caused by an
alarm of fire.
But Moose is wise in other ways
too. II one is petting him his nose
will find its way into the PERSONS
pockets, and away goes the sugar that
happens to be there. II you take him
a lump he will never forget you, and
sometimes he will give you his big
paw to hold for a second, but he only
shakes hands with his friends. Per
haps the most peculiar trick Moose
does is TO eat meat; he will take II
only from those he knows well, but
then he seems to enjoy it and always
sneezes his thanks.
Moose won the love of every man OF
the company one night, when he prob
ably saved their lives. An alarm came
in, and the engine and company were
ready to leave the house when Moose
baked and refused to start. A pre-
cious minute or more was lost before 1t
was found that his collar was not
properly fastened. As soon as this was
fixed he started off finely, and did more
than his share in pulling and guiding
his mates, seeming TO know his COM
pany was late. If he hadn't known
enough to wait until this mistake was

engine would have turned over and
some one surely would have been hurt.
Moose has never felt the whip, and
there are few horses that have as much
"horse sense"
Teddy, a bright-looking cat, has
habit of sleeping in the Deputy Chiefs
buggy with Pep, the dog. Both are
about a year old, and they are the best
of pals; they play together and try to
outdo each other in catching the few
mice that live in the walls. Once in a
while Pep is too rough; then Teddy
boxes his ears and jumps to the engine
seat, high up out of his reach
II an alarm comes in at night, Pep
will leap out Of the wagon and stay at
the house guarding it. but Teddy stays
where she is and all through the fire
will not move. On the way home, she
will jump up into the -hief's lap and
lick his hands to show how glad she is
that he wasn't hurt, then she will snug
gle down and so TO sleep.
