the chimpanzees would do all they
could to amuse the children.
This day when they We're talking
about what they could do the keeper
came along. There was little girl by
his side named Lucy and with Lucy
was her mother.
"Lucy, would you like to see- the
chlmpanzees do their tricks2" the
keeper asked.
And Lucy nodded her head. which
was very nice head with yellow curls.
and said: "Oh, please. keeper. do
have them show their tricks"
"Well, how about a trick for the

chimpanzees.
The chimpanzee looked at the keep.
Lucy's mother. and she seemed to say:
You all look like mighty nice peo-
ple-that is, know the keeper Is nice.
SO that makes one nice person. and
Lucy looks very nice, so that makes two
nice people. Her mother looks nice.
SO that makes three nice people. Yes.
I do believe / can do my tricks for
three nice people. So will start in."
And the chimpanzee began her
tricks. Soon another chimpanzee
watching said to herself: II would
like to do some tricks for this very
fine audience. Now watch me per-
FORM" This was the chimpanzee
named Betty.
They did the most wonderful tricks
and how proud the keeper was Of his
pets. Betty quite took the prize for
she tried every trick she had ever
known. and some new ones as well.
But she loved to hear Lucy laugh.
1t was such very cheerful, happy
laugh. And so she kept on doing

After time Lucy and her mother
had to leave the zoo. and the chimpan-
zees had to have their supper.
MAY we come again and see them1"
asked Lucy. %
"From the way they have acted to-
day." said the keeper, II am sure
they'd be glad to see you again.
They've had as good time as you
have had. And I love to have visitors
who don't tease the animals, but who
like them and who care to watch them
and grow to know them. Those Wis.,

II should Just say 1t was." agreed
Lucy. as she went off, after waving a
good-by to the chimpanzees and the
keeper.
A little more than three weeks later
Lucy and her mother went back to
the zoo and there was Betty In her
cage, looking very quiet and peace
full.
"She doesn't feel like acting today
but she is well again. A day or so
after you left" the keeper told Lucy,
'she was climbing a tiny ladder to
her sleeping box when she fell by slip

She went right over and snapped a
bone of her leg. 1t had to be set and

II you can buy powdered gelatine in

expensive package goods. In fact, you can
only tell the difference by the prices Any
colorings that you use In baking cakes
may be used for tinting gelatine, and
plain lemon jelly, with any fresh fruit
nodded in it, makes a delightful dessert
Mayonnaise made with gelatine never
separates it sometimes does when eggs
and oil are mixed with the vinegar Use n
rounded teaspoon Of bulk gelatine, and
soak il in four tablespoons Of hot lemon

for salad dressing, as it gives sharper
flavor and lighter color Lemon Juice Is

either olive oil or salad oil. Season with
salt, white pepper and half teaspoon of

Tim Coon also. He dared not go home
without the seed for Madam Foxs gar

woods and there found the donkey and
cart caught in the bushes. He hunted
and hunted for the bag, but nowhere
could it be found and fearing IT would
be night before he reached home he iliicd
his cart with tiny stones and dug, up
some roots and started. 1t was dark
when he arrived and Madam Fox could
not see what he had in the cart, and the
next morning, bright and early, Mr..
Fox got up and began to plant the garden.
Madam Fox's foot WAS so lame she
had to SIT in the window and watch, 30
MIR. Fox found it easy to fool her by
telling her the tiny stones were very rare
seeds and the weeds he had dug were
fine bushes, sure to bring forth beautiful
roses But all the time he WAS thinking
that as soon AZ he had that garden planted
he would take himself off to Tim Coon
house and find out what had happened
