told me that was to play Saturday"
Billy had nothing else to say, so he
turned away, intending to say some
thing nasty as he went, but, instead.
he bumped his toe, as he was barefoot
ed and grasped his foot. while his face
became white. Instantly Teddy and
Johnnie were both off the box. "Sit
down." said Johnnie, docs it hurt
so bad? I'll run and get some ice to
put on it"
Nav, don't do that" said Billy. "if
l keep still it will be all right in a
minute"
We'll, sit here" said Johnnie,
there is plenty of room for three"
and together the boys sat and watched
the people pass and wondered why
they had never thought before that
three could sit there together.

"HERE were a great many things
that Dan had to do that he did
not like to do, and he sat down
to think about it. He did not like SO
much milk on his oatmeal in the morn
ing, and he had noticed that the grown
members of the family put milk on
their own oatmeal, while he had TO
take what some one gave him. Then
he did not like the idea of going to bed
at O'Clock and he had noticed that
all the grownups stayed up as long as
they wanted to. Why should he not
have the same privileges as the 9TH
ers, now that he was 6 years old and
not at all baby? He had no broth
ers or sisters, but he dearly loved Mel
lie, who lived next door, and when
they sat down to play with his new
motion-picture machine he told her all
his troubles.
Il suppose you don't know what
made your father and mother grow
strong and big and beautiful" said
Nellie, sarcastically. Il have no
doubt it was the milk they had when,
they were as old as you and are long
nights of sleep that they had. You

Creeping up very softly, the hare set
fire to the sticks, which began to snap
and crack.
What is this strange noise?" ex-
claimed the badger.
"It's the cracking mountains" an
swered the hare as it ran away.
The fire began to burn the badger,
so into a stream of water he plunged
and quenched the fire. But, OIL how
his back burned!
When the burns had all healed the
badger one day saw the hare standing
by boat he had made.
where are you going in that boat?"
asked the badger.
"To the moon!" said the hare; "do
you want to come with me?"

Why Stories
WHY THE SACK OF CORN WAS
TURNED TO STONE.

Fonaby, in England, is very
"A curious stone standing which
looks exactly like a petrified
sack of corn and the legend which is
told concerning it is this:
In the days of old when the Blessed
Lord of Heaven and Earth walked
about the world and conversed with
men He came one day to field.
Near the road stood a man who had
just filed a great sack with corn and
tied it with the usual stout string.
What is in your sack. my good
man." asked the Blessed One
Now the man was surly fellow. All
unconscious OF the sacred character Of
the wayfarer
He was also stingy man, and never
wanted to give away any of his goods.
and he feared the Blessed Lord would
ask for some of the contents of the
bag, so he replied:
Nothing is in my bag. nothing at
ALL"
The Blessed one looked at the surly
man and at the sack of corn and said /;
Nothing, Then nothing shall it be
and nothing shall it remain!" Then he
passed on his way.
The surly man, however, who had
lied about the corn, found to his
amazement and horror that the sack
had become so heavy he could not
move it.
II must tighten it," he said, and
thought to remove some of the corn.
But he could not unite the string.
No, indeed, for it had turned to stone.
as did the whole bag.
In vain the man tried to move it. 1t
seemed almost as if planted in the
ground, and there it remains to this
day and if anyone will go to Leicester
shire and make his way to Fonaby,
there he can see it.
And for miles and miles around the
stone is known as the "Fonaby Stone
Sack"

Johnnie sat on the bread box in
II front of the store with his feet
tucked up in front of him. John
nie's father kept a grocery and the
bread box was for the convenience of
the men who brought the bread in the
morning before the store was opened.
Johnnie found it the incest place in the
world to sit and watch what what go-
ing on in the street. Teddy came along
sometimes and sat with him, but there
was not room for more than two at the
top of the box and Johnnie would not
let anyone sit on the lower edge, as
he said he could not see over their
heads. Just as he had drawn his feet

you have the same food If it is food
that makes the body?"
"All right, all right" said Dan, who
was tired of the argument.
"Oh, of course it is all right for
you to say that you are going to do
what your parents do after this. Then
l suppose you will buy your own
clothes and pay for your own toys. OF
course you would never deign to ask
your father for money if you claimed
the same privileges as If you were

The heaviest arctcs; expensive plaid wrap.
She bought gauntleted gloves and a gorgeous fur muh
