there upon a snow-white table was

watch them play, they do not run
frightened away, but merely smile
and say, Hello, Roy" and go on with
their romping.

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
ROY AND THE BIG RABBIT.

When Roy, who was little country
boy, was quite small he loved to see
the young rabbits playing in the
woods, but as he grew older he threw
stones at them. And when he grew
still larger he would creep up while
they played, and, after shooting an ar
row from his bow at them would rush
in among them with. a shout that sent
the poor things scattering into the
bushes scared nearly to death. He
never thought how it hurt, but only of
the fun he had.
One day he wounded little rabbit
with his bow and arrow. The poor
creature dragged itself away through
the bushes, and Roy ran after it; but
always, just as he was about to catch
it, it limped out of reach. This kept
up until it began to grow dark, and
Roy, looking around him, found he
had lost his way. Suddenly the little
rabbit grew into a great beast more
than six feet high, and stood right in
Roy's path, in threatening manner.
$50 you love to wound little rabbits
and then chase them, do your said
the big rabbit in loud voice. Il am
the great-grandfather of all the little
rabbits and I'm going to show you
how | treat such wicked, cruel boys
as you.' But | didn't mean to hurt
Them" sobbed Roy, now frightened
half to death himself.
But you know it hurts to be scared
and wounded, whether you mean to
hurt them or not" growled the Big
Rabbit. Come along with me-" and
with that the Big Rabbit seized Roy
and went trampling through brush and
briars to Big Rabbits home.
AS they approached the little rabs
all ran out to meet the Big Rabbit,
but when they saw Roy they all gave
squeal and went scurrying off to the
first hiding place. Roy felt very much
ashamed when the Big Rabbit looked
at him as much as to say. See how
you brighten the poor little rabs." But
Roy was now getting very much
frightened for himself; so the Big
Rabbit took him into great room and
called out in thunderous tones: Build
great fire in the kitchen stove, and
heat a tubful of water!" "Oh, they
are going to parboil mel" thought Roy,
as he heard the little rabs running
about in the kitchen preparing the
fire and hot water. Then the Big Rab-
bit called out aagin: Put the skillet
on the stove and get it hot"
ooh, they are going to fry me after
that" moaned Roy to himself, and
sobbed in his misery. Then he heard
the voice of the Big Rabbit again.
Now put the white tablecloth and
the prettiest china on the table; this
is to be the best supper can get UP. /"
"Oh what feast they will have off

tain that they were going to cook him
and eat him. Just then the Big Rab-
bit came back. THE waters hot, "
he said to Roy. Take off your
clothes" Poor Roy took off his clothes
and shuddered as the Big Rabbit
picked him UP and carried him into a
room where there was steaming tub
of water. But what was his astonish

The average human being is pur-

nothing else calls forth And this par
ticular thing goes under many, many,
widely varying names. Yet in the
last analysis it can be reduced to one
single word-happiness Some look for
it in duty and some look for it in the
mad pursuit of pleasure. Some seek
to find it in sheer hard work, while
to others the ideal life is the one ut

but they were all on deck within ten

one hand clasping the rail, her hand
fiercely outstretched towards the low
