PEDRO.s BROKEN LEG.

Leslie Norris was angry and cross
He wanted to go out with the
other boys, who We're playing ball
ON the conner, but his mother had
asked him to wait and take his
LITTLE sister Ruth out i'm the baby
carriage.
Leslie picked up some smooth
round stones and as he stood by
the fence Waiting he began to Throw
them at various objects around.
A little way over the fence in
AN apple tree he spied a basket
hanging ON limb.
II hope this stone will go through
the old basket" he thought, throw+
ing with ALL his might.
Leslie didn't look to see where
the stone went, for just then Pedro,
his pet rooster, flew up ON the
orchard fence.
Pedro was very white, and against
the dark green of the apple trees
he made fine mark.
Guess I'llI see if / can make
him jump" Leslie Thought. With
that he let fly the stone he had
| lin his hand
The next thing he knew Pedro
fell to the ground with great
flapping of wings, and squawked so
loud that Mrs. Norris came out
to- see what was the matter.
With terror in his heart, Leslie
ram to where Pedro Qay. As he
drew near he saw that the roost-
err could not stand up. One of
| his legs was limp and helpless,
and there was am ugly hole where
blood had already begun to show.
Leslie gathered the chicken up
lin his arms and ran to the house.
/ "Will he die?" he asked his moth
er anNiously. See, his nieg is all
wRlbbly, and he can't stand up

When the keeper appeared
Rob

When the keeper appeared Rob
told his story. The keeper nodded
1--we seem you tormenIting Lion,
he said. Now The has saved your.
life. You are not the first, either,
boy. And he won't make friends?
Welt, if he was human, maybe he
would be ready to forgive and
forget, as the song says. But hes
only dog, you see, even if he
has got feelings. Being only dog
you CAN'T argue with him."
Come here, Lion, he said; and
the big dog advanced This boy
is sorry for what The did, and he
wants to make up. How about it,
old felow?"
Rob looked amNious[y at the dog,
feeling very much ashamed But
Lion, paving uneasily at his master,
gave ONE more GLANCE at the boy.
and deliberately turned his back.
You see, said the keeper, Slow
iy, being only a dog he don't
trust you yet You try minding
your own business as far as he
is concerned for the rest OF the
time, and maybe he will feel
bstter toward You. But he is not
ready yet. o
AIT this the keeper, too, turned
and Left HMM And there was moth
ing THAT Rob could do. but go
home, but his lips were very shaky,
and HE had the lesson firmly fixed
in his memory that sometimes,
even when one is sorry for doing
wrong, he cannot make others be-
lieve it.

FOR THO
: CHILDREN
The Bumblebee Baby.

The Bumblebee Baby.
An old bumblebee sat under a tree.
In her lap was bumblebee baby,
And she rocked to- and fro, now
fast, now slow
As you have seen mothers do,
maybe.
But the queer llittle one was so
full of fun,
And his eyes were so bright and
so round;
And he made up a face with a
very bad grace,
And his brother asleep on the
ground.
His mother sang fast and then
she sang Slow,
And SHE tried all the means in
her power
To conquer the child, so wakeful
and wild,
And rocked him over an hour.
Then giving up hope, she took a
long rope,
cit was part of am old spider
webb
And tying it fast to tall blade
of grass,
"A hammock she made for his hea
And then for a pillow, soft
pussy-willow
That might have been made just
for this.
Then laying him in, she patted his
chin, ;.
And gave him a motherly kiss.
With the birds overhead, and ALL
around his bed
The blossoms and gay butter
flies,
This queer litte mite shut his eyes
very tight
And dreamed of the sunny blue
skies.

ROB AND LION.

"oh. nook ait the big dog" cried
Rob. o
Stay ON the piazza" his mother
commanded. HE might bite you.s.
He doesn't look much like a
bitey dog" said Rob. And as his
mother watched the trotting animal
within the broad head and the heavy
ROLLS of muscle about the chest and
shoulders, she was forced to agree
with Rob. He did mot look like a
"bitey'' dog; The looked like a dog
which had business to mind and
minded lit.
Rob and his parents were spend
ing the summer vacation at the
| seaside. Their summer home was
just next a point where the tide
ram very STRONG.
Half a mile out was a eight

as the ledge upon which it was
founded was three feet under the
water at high tide The big dog be-

Rob had never had dog oil
his own. He was used only to the
pitiful stray city dogs, and he had
seem 'otlhier boys drive them AWAY.
He meant the dog no harm, but
there was something about this
| big animal that the boy resented
Rob Was never crue. boy, but
he had not learned how to be
kind to- animals.
Once he tossed sticks into the
| water ard commanded the dog to
"Fttch; but the dog paid no at
tentiotl- -.
Stupid" said Rob, and flung
a pebble at him, which hit him i'm
the ribs. The animal shook him
self, looked at Rob soIemnIy, and
ait a stately march moved away up
the beach.
One mounting, when Rob was play
ing ON the pier thlro wing sticks DIM
to the water and Watching them
chase each other out into the sea, he
threw one too hard, lost his bal
ance and went over into the water.
Fortunately he was 'barefooted
and he could swim a little He

Then suddenly, like whirLwind,

tested Couldn't a doctor cure
him?" =.
Perhaps so. You had better ask
him. &c
The doctor hooked surprised when
Leslie came Unto his office width
the rooster i'm his arms. He wiggfed
the broken leg back and forth and
looked very grave.
Large, confused wound and tract
ure of the tibia," said he. pretty
serious case. Did you wish me to
operate? 2"
ooh, yes, sir, please; if you can;
salidl Leslie.
The doctor went into the other
room and returned with a new
shimgle. From this he split some
long pieces which he shaved thin
and smooth with his knife.
doctor washed the broken leg and
set the ends of the broken bone
together.
He placed bandage oyer the
place where the stone had hit,
and put the strips of shingle, which
HE called splints, all about the
broken leg. Then he wrapped the
whole with strong silk thread TO
keep the spldnts in place.
When he set Pedro down ON the
floor, Leslie was delighted to see
that he could stand as we'll as
ever.
He took him home and set him
down i'm the hen yard with the
rest of the chickens, Pedro stump
ed around as if nothing had hap
pened.
When the time came, Leslie took
off the bandages and splints, as
the doctor had told him to do The
leg was ALI we'll and only a very
small scar remained.
A few days later the postman
brought Leslie a letter. 1t contain
ed a slip of paper which read
like this:
Master Leslie Norris,
To DIR. CHARLES f. Williams, DIR.
To protest. onal services
$500. =.
"What does it mean, mother?"
asked Leslie.
"Why, it means that you owe
DIR. Williams three DOLLARS she
said, and this lis the polite way
OF Asking you to pay him"
But how cam l pay him when
haven't amy money!" said Les
lie.
But, my dear boy, you asked
him to set Pedro's broken leg,
and of course a gentleman would
not ask anotherr person to work
for him unless he intended to
pay him. You must ask papa about
it,"
Leslte.s father told him the
same timing, nor did he offer to
give Leslie the three DOLLARS.
Leslie was worried. Three dollars
seemed Like a big sum. Why he
had never had so much money
at once in his life. He very much
doubted if he had had so much
altogether in his life What could
he do? Where COULD he get so
much money
The next morning ait breakfast,
Leslie's father said he had been
thinking of hiring boy to rake
up the dead leaves and to help
Hiram gather the apples.
Cant do it? Will you pay me
for doing it?" asked Leslie, eager
ly. -.
Yes, said MIR. Morris, / Wilt pay
you twenty-five cents a day, but
you must stiick to the job until
DIT is Finished"
1T took two long weeks to earn
the three dollars, and by that
time the job was finished. Every
day Leslie could hear the boys
laughing and shouting down by the
corner.
When FINALLY the Last twenty
five cents had been paid to the
doctor, Leslie drew. a breath of re-
lief, and ann sure he enjoyed his
play more for. having paid his
debt from his own efforts. He
never forgot the lesson learned from
it. ....r...
