EVENING STORY
cUFFY AND THE WONDERFUL
SPRING.
Copyright, 1915, by A. S. Bailey.

Copyright, 1915, by A. S. Bailey.
The pricks of the porcupines quilts
made Cuffy Bears paws so sore that it
was several days before he could run
about again. And during all that time
Cufy was a very good little bear. He
did not cuff his sister Silkie once. You
see he knew 1t would hurt his sore
paws if he did.
The days were still fine. Cuffy loved
to feel the bright sunshine upon his
black coat. 1t warmed him through and
through and he did not care at all il
his feet did get wet in the melting
snow.
At last one afternoon when his paws
were quite well again Cuffy strayed
some distance down the side of Blue
Mountain. He was alone. because
Silkie was asleep. You know, she was
younger than Cuffy and still had to
take maps. Cuffy had slid and tumbled
down the mountainside until he was
further from home than he knew. 1t
did seem good to be able to put his
paws upon the ground again without
whimpering with pain. And coming to
a short, steep pace. Cuffy felt SO glad
that he actually turned a somersault
and landed in heap at the foot of the
bank. He sat there for a moment,
brushing the soft snow out of his face,
when a fash of light dazzled his eyes.
1t came from a tree right in front OF
him. And Cuffy at once jumped up and
ran to see what it was. He found that
some one had fastened shiny, new
tin bucket to the trunk OF the tree.
Cuffey felt that he must have that
bucket to play with. He knew that he
coul have heaps of fun rolling it about
on the ground And he was just going
to knock it off the hook that held it
when he noticed that a small spout
had been driven into the tree just
above the bucket And as Cuffy stood
there on his hind legs. reaching up as
high as he could, he saw a tiny drop
fall from the spout and 60 splash! In
to the bucket. Then, as he watched.
another drop fell; and another and
another 1t must be-he thought-that
there was a spring inside that tree.
Yes! he was sure of it. for the bucket
was half full Of water. He felt thirs-
ty, for he had not had drink since
lunch-time. And SO Cuffy stuck his
swallow.
The next instant he squealed with
joy. 1t was the incest water he had
ever tasted In all his life, for 1t was
quite sweet-just as if somebody had
left heap of honey in the bottom of
the bucket But when Cuffy licked the
end of the spout with his little red
tongue he found that that tasted sweet
too Yes! it certainly was wonder
full spring. Cuffy was very glad that he
had found it. And he decided that he
would drink all he could Of the delici-
Gus, sweet water and leave the pail
hanging there. Then he could come
back the next day and there would be
more of that wonderful water all ready
and waiting for him to drink up.

"You did-a big one" she declared
slowly, throwing aside the raillery In

that you haven't reformed anything

and all your hateful methods. You
made us all hate you. whether we

It's going to be some talk"

SCIENCE VERSUS?

Constance had seated herself, not
because Of any command from the e.
flciency man, but in response to sud-
den collapse of belligerency. She was
terrified at what she had done. She
had tossed another persons treasures
into the fire without so much as ask
ing leave or serving notice; and the
reaction was abrupt. The calmness of
H. Hedge frightened her.
Leaning Imply in the desk chair she
buried her face in her arms and con-
tiued to sob.
The efficiency man watched her for
q moment, alternately frowning and
smiling. He had promised her talk,
but was uncertain about the beginning
Of it, even though he had clear no.
ton of the ending.

She did not look up.

did not raise her head from the desk.

The following poem was written by
Mrs. Benn as a toast to her father:
| Here's one of the joys that come to
Who lives past his three score years
To meet with his children-fve of
them now,
One has been taken-our heads We'll
all bow;
And our mother-we think of her to-
day,
Knowing her joys can not pass away.
To meet with his grandchildren
cousins, too,
And children-in-law, with hearts kind
and true
To meet for union, a reunion
strong,
That binds US together life's path
ways along.
Although we have gone to the South
and the West
We've all now returned to our old
home nest
And we're here altogether for this
one happy day,
Talking of our interests along life's
way.
So let the air ring with health to
our host
A Father of whom we are all proud
to boast.
