said. To-day my Office has not yet
been cleaned. Rosie, you shall do
it now and Mary tomorrow"
When Rosie entered the Office
some IS minutes later her father
was not there. She worked fast for
few minutes, and said. "Oh, it's
so tiresome in here. I'll sweep it
here and father will never see the
dust behind the boxes and the papers
were scattered all over the floor.
The next day Mary went to clean
the Office and piled the boxes in
corner and put the papers on the
desk. Under box she found gold
coin. She felt very happy and won-
dcred who the owner was. Then
carefully sweeping the floor and dust
ing the desk she hurried home and
showed it to her father and sister,
Her father said, "You have cleaned
my Office better than Rosie. She
could have found it, too. Keep it."
Her sister was very jealous and
angry and never quarreled again, I'M
less she was in the right.-Edward

A Hunt.
One day as my uncle and l went
out hunting in the forest, we came
to den which we never saw before
for we were in that forest before. We
took our hounds with us and led
them to the den. Before we let
them loose they ran into the den,
but when they came out they had
two foxes. One was silver fox and
the other was a red fox.
On the way home we were held
up. We had our fox hid in our
knapsacks and they took the KNAPP
sack and all. When they left us
coyote came around and we shot it.
Just before we got home we found
our knapsack and all. suppose
some one chased them. just about
that time 1 was all tired out. The
time | had was great to me. So
the next day when we went out
hunting we got five coyotes, three
gray foxes, five wild ducks and six
VOLTS. That was the greatest hunt
ever had in my life.-Michael Kill
