able to leave his bed, and Mrs. John
son said: "The children often feel
miserable, Jimmie, but / can generally
doctor them up"
The next morning, which was Sum
day, the doctor came from a nearby
town, and he had said: "The boy has
the measles; you'll have to be quaran-
tined"
When Jimmie heard the word quar-
antined he was terribly frightened. He
had packed his suitcase in great hur-
~ and, calling to Bowser, he ran home,
leaving a note for Mrs. Johnson on the
bureau.
When he reached the house he
heaved a sigh of relief as he built a
good fire in the kitchen range.
"Bowser, old doggie, Mother and
Dad wrote to me that they'd be com
ing home in few days, so you and /
can get along in this nice, large warm
kitchen, can't we? l know you're a
good watchdog, and won't allow any
one to breal1s in the house. I didn't
want to stay at the Johnsons' and have
tie measles, did II"
And Bowser had barked in short

sharp yelps: "Of course not"
All went well that day. Jimmie had
found plenty Of bacon AM heme-made
butter and cans of fruit and vegetables
in the pantry. And as for the hens
nests in the chicken house, they were
piled up with lovely fresh eggs
Jimmie was quite good little cook
and he and Bowser enjoyed their din
ner and supper very much.
But that night Jimmie, who was
sleeping on the bed lounge drawn close
beside the kitchen range, was awakened
some time towards morning by feeling
very sick and chilly.
And when the srn rose lie saw that
he was covered with red rash

However, in short time he had
been ready to start for the Johnsons'

All went we'll with Jimmie and Bow

fore and after school and all day Sat-
urday, playing with the four johnson
children.
Then one Friday morning the young

table, saying: Il feel cold one mo-

burning up, and my head aches. I
can't go to school; I'm too sick"
I'll mix dose of medicine for you
that won't taste bad, and it will make

The next day the boy had not been

terribly sick, but I'll have to take care
of myself, now that I've run away from
where my parents left me-" Jimmie
said, feeling extremely sorry that he
had come home, for there he was, all
alone, and, indeed, a sick boy.
Poor old Bowser had plate 'heaped
high with scrambled eggs and canned
corn left from the day before SO he
was not hungry.
But he was terribly worried, because
instinct told him that Jimmie was ILL.,
even if he could keep the fire going in
the range.
So every once In a while he ran to
the Johnsons' kitchen door and whined
and barked.
After while the eldest girl said !.

That's so; I'll go over and see" Mr.
Johnson had said This he did. and
right away he procured nurse and
doctor for the boy.
Jimmie was quite sick and the nurse
was very tired by the time Mr.. and
Mrs.. Green came home.

Dear Great-grandmother- car
penters have gone for the new lumber,
but when they tore up the old walk
they uncovered the dearest caveZit has
steps leading way down. Please may
I see where they go?"
Then Great-grandmother took both of
Jacqueline's hands while she told her:
"It is the old Robbers Cave, honey,
where your Great Uncles Hal and Clar-
ence used to play.
But again Jacqueline was back faster
than she had gone. She grabbed Great
grandmother's hand so quickly that the
dear old lady barely had time to rescue
the snowy satin panel from the floor
and lay it neatly on top of her work
basket @#h NJ
Dear Great-grandnother, you are
only. 77-come down the steps of the
Robbers Cave and see the lovely dol
ly's trunk we have found. Please may
we have it?"
And there the dear old lady beheld,
amid medly of fishing tackle, toy guns
and marbles-instead of doll trunk
the moldy and mildewed family silver
chest.
Soon there was "standing room
only" in the Robbers Cave, where two
little boys had played SO long ago. The
family gathered round, lifted the chest
from the shelf that had held it safely
for more than 50 years, pried open the
rusty catch and beheld, reposing upon
musty velvet the crest silverl There
were dozens of spoons, knives, forks of
all sizes and shapes, ladies from punch
to cream size-every piece present down
to the smallest salt spoon.

Good morning, Madam Sheep.

The poor trembling sheep was very
much afraid of the fierce wolf, but she
replied politely:
ITO the grazing grcrnds, Sir Wolf.
My poor little lamb is thin and needs
some good rich grass to fatten her."
The wolf looked at the two animals
very carefully and replied:

And the hare wrote large No. L on
his paper.
When the wolf heard this and saw
the hare marking down the figure L he
became. SO scared that he turned and
ran away as fast as he could, while the
sheep, thanking the hare for saving the
lives of herself and tie lamb, went in

Hornely Bowser
" " "

WINNIE GREEN and his faithful
dog Bowser had been visiting
" neighbors who lived about half a
mile from the Greens home.
And the reason Jimmie and Bowser
had been staying at the Johnsons' home
was that Mr.. and Mrs. Green had been
called away from home by the great
and sudden illness of a very near and
dear relative.
Dog Bowser in, his youth had been
an extremely pretty doggie, but now
he was years old and his coat was
no longer glossy, but it was rough and
shaggy.

day he and Bowser started visiting
