Guiding the dog, takes part, is a

CHAPTER TX.
Who Stole the TartS?

Who Stole the Tarts?
The King and Queen of Hearts
were seated on their throne when
they arrived, with a great crowd
assembled about them-all sorts OF
little birds and beasts, as we'll as
the whole pack of cards. The
Knave was standing before them,
in chains, with soldier on each
side to guard him; and near the
King was the White Rabbit, with a
trumpet in one hand and a scroll
of parchment in the other.
In the very middle of the court
was a table with a large dish of
tarts upon it. They looked so good
that it made Alice quite hungry to
look at them. 81 wish they'd get
the trial DONE she thought, "and
hand round the REFRESHMENTS
But there seemed to be no chance
of this, so she began looking at
everything about her to pass away
the time.
Alice had never been in a court
of justice before, but she was quite
pleased to find that she knew the
name of nearly everything there.
That's the Judge" she said to
herself, because of his great
wig"
The Judge, by the way, was the
King, and as he wore his crown
over the wig, he did not look at all
comfortable, and it was certainly
not becoming
"And that's the jury box"
thought Alice, land those twelve
creatures"-(she was obliged to
say creatures" you see, because
some of them were animals, and
some were birds)-"I suppose
they are the jurors"
The twelve jurors we're all writ
ing very busilv on states. what
are they all doing?" Alice whis-
pered to the Gryphon. "They can't
have anything to put down yet, be-
fore the trials begun"
They're putting down their
Names" the Gryphon whispered,
in reply, "for fear they should
forget them before the end of the
trial"
Stupid things!" Alice began,
in loud, indignant voice; but she
stopped herself hastily, for the
White Rabbit cried out. "Silence
in the COURT" and the King put on
his spectacles and looked anx-
iously round, to make out who was
talking.
Alice could see as we'll as If
she were looking over their shout

states. "a nice muddle their
slates'll be in before the trials

Herald, read the accusation!"
said the King.
| On this the White Rabbit blew
three blasts on the trumpet, and
then unrolled the parchment scroll
and read as follows:
The Queen of Hearts she made
some tarts.
All on a summer day;
The Knave of Hearts he stole
those tarts,
And took them quite away!
Consider your verdict" the
King said to the jury.
