TAD,s TRIP TO THE MOON.

Tad Timothy was little hoy who
lived in country home on q hill in
the village Of Standstill. 4 large or
chard and farm surrounded the house,
which were greatly enjoyed by Tad.
One summer morn Tad awoke just
as the sun began to rise, and went
into the orchard to gather some apples.
Tree after tree he passed. picking the
apples of the ground. until at last
he felt sleepy and was soon in a deep
sleep.
AS Tad slept "a large eagle de-
seconded nearby. seeming rather anxi-
Gus to seize his prize. With sudden
flop of wings. the eagle was upon
him. and, having good hold. he
assembled very swiftly into the fresh
air of the approaching day. Higher
and higher he went at a great speed
During all these frightening moments
Tad was still asleep. dreaming of the
angels in heaven. But soon he was
awakened by the rapid progress Of
the eagle. He looked around on all
sides. but nothing was in sight except
clouds everywhere At first he be-
lieved that he. was being taken to
heaven by an <ansel, but at another
glance he was discouraged and began
to cry aloud. The eagle paid no at
tention TO the cries of Tad. and. seeing
no use In crying. he chung close to
the eagle. fearing fall. After hours
OF disagreeable riding, twilight sur
rounded him. showing hundreds of
sparkling lights on all sides. Tad
became amazed to see tho stars around
him, and forgot all about his dangers.
