In the evening they were to burn
huge piles CT brush, and all looked
forward with delight to the 'fire

Elmas mother thought the baby
who was only four years old, had
had enough excltem ent for one day
and said she must be put to bed as

up and see the fireworks urged

Yes, please let her stay UP and

like to see the fires burning, so
why not let her stay UP a little

Very well,' said mother
"but bring her in before it gets

The dry stuff, of which the brush
piles were mostly composed, burned
fiercely, and the time passed quickl
No one knew just how, long it had
been since Elma had stopped hurry

her endeaver to take them all in.
Suddenly every enc missed her.
Far and near they searched, even
to the edge of the forest

she can hunt, too. exclaimed the
Older sister.
''Not yet, rot yet said the father
I'VE must not let mother know
that the baby $ lost until we hav
searched a little longer. She must
have fable n asleep somewhere i:
the brush while watching one of the
fires
But father and children searched
and Searched and searched without
finding any trace of Elma; then
they ran to the house to tell
mch,er and rouse the neighbors.
'Elma lost cried mother. Why,
she was in led and asleep long ago.
She came TO the house and begged
to be undressed she was so sleepy"
The news was such relief to
the family that they crowded into
the bedroom to see for themselves
that she was indeed safe, and they
made so much noise they woke
] her.

Now loud, now saucy, now lowl

In certain goodly town
Met together to question whether
They could not hunt him down.

The worried people said.
He shall march the space of the

They granted policemen a whole
day off,
And babe them WELD their sticks
Until far-sought the knave was
caught
Red-handed in his tricks.
And when the job was over and
done,
And street and alley dragged,
The grave folk saw, with dropping
jaw
ALL of the boys and all of the
girls;
Ladies and maids and cooks;
Preachers few, and doctors, too,
| And students with their n)oks;
A Judge, a lawyer, a baker man,
A merchant with his rule,
All---'tis fact--caught in the act
