Wicked people are sometimes very

Day after day the twins played
checkers, as the Jim stood by, com

where they were, and the errand upon
which they had started.
But outside, their friend. the walrus
waited patiently He had promised
TO help the children and he had not
been idle, although his great, awk-
ward. numbering form seemed so use
less and his long sharp teeth looked
so fierce.
The Jim, watching carefully to see
that Nancy and Nick did not kick of
the Slippers Of Forgeifulness, did not
notice The many dark forms that had
gathered in the waters around them.

shapes became more and more numer-
