THE BROWN-EARED WOLF
TT AXE piece of old newspaper
or wrapping paper, and tear
= II into as many bits as there

TT AXE a piece of old newspaper
or wrapping paper, and tear
it into as many bits as there
are players. Mark each piece of pa
per with number representing some
hour of the day until there is only
one piece left, Mark this piece with
the same number as any one of those
already numbered. This will make
two of kind; that is the papers
will read, one, two, two, three, etc.,
or, one, one, two, three, four, etc.
There can only be twelve numbers,
as there are only twelve hours on
the clock; but if more boys are play
ing you can make some of the num-
bers half-hours until the required
number of papers are marked.
Under one Of the twin numbers
mark cross, thus Ak. No one but
the lad chosen as marker must see
the numbers until they are drawn,
and then each player must keep his
number a secret Place all the
markers in a hat, and each boy in
turn reaches in the hat without
looking and draws a piece of paper;
the piece of paper left in the hat be-
longs to the marker. The boy who
finds he has drawn the number and
the cross is 1T" or the Brown
cared Wolf.
"It," then retires a short distance
while the sheep decide what O'Clock
they will be. He then announces that
he is out on a hunt for sheep and
with cry the sheep hasten TO form
themselves in a ring around the wolf,
for If the ring is not complete before
he finishes the verse, he is allowed
by the rules of the game to catch the
boy who has not grasped the hands
of two of his comrades, one on each
side. The following is the verse
which the wolf repeats:
IT eat no meat but woolly sheep.
My stomach is very good;
It's their. blood, 1 think, that I will
drink,
If caught inside my wood"
Now this funny old wolf is hemmed
in by his prey, and in spite of his
bloodthirsty nature he is either not
allowed or is afraid to catch anyone
until the proper signal is given. The
signal is given in this manner: All
the sheep dance around the wolf,

Abistan merely said he had been
out hunting, and asked for help to
carry to his grandmother's wigwam
the ample stores he now owned.
He was now so rich with all these
goods that he decided to marry, SO
his grandmother went to the chief,
who had several beautiful daughters,

and helped him to dry clothing.
Refreshed and rested, Abistan was
charmed when his host got out a lit
tie flute and played upon it the most
enhancing melodies.
IT could stay here forever" thought
Abistan- Never have been treated
so kindly before"
The next morning when he awoke
after g most invigorating sleep his
host told him that now he could de-
part, but was to take as much food
and fur as he could carry ON his
back.
"I'l1 help you" said his new
friend, and lifting it easily carried It
and guided Abistan to the outskirts
of his home village, where he LEFT

THE DOG FINDS A HOME
PWy HE Jackal and his kinsman the
Dog lived together in the
- bush
ToDAY'S RIDDLE

rWG HE Jackal and his kinsman the
Dog lived together in the
bush.
One morning the Jackal said to the
Dog:
GO into the village, where there
are many houses, and all will have
Gre on the hearthstone. Enter some
house and take away a portion of its
fre!"
what shall 1 do with the fre?'
asked the Dog.
Bring it to me-" said the Jackal.
1T am intending to set the prairie
grass on fire, so that locusts will be
dislodged and we can eat!"
The Dog was very hungry and
started at once for the village.
The first house he came to he
entered. A beautiful bright fire was
blazing on the hearth, in front of
which sat a mother with her little
baby in her arms.
On the fire was a nice little three
legged iron pot filled with mush,
which emitted a most appetizing
smell
The Dog sat himself down before
the fire. and the mother did not OBJ
ject nor drive him away.
II cannot take fire from a moth
er!" said the Dog to himself.
The mother took the mush from
the fire and began feeding it to the
baby, which laughed and crowed
gleefully at every spoonful.
1t was a pretty sight and the Dos
still sat there absorbed in the scene
Presently, when the baby had fin,
ished it's share, the mother noticed
the admiring eyes of the Dog.
Fl believe you are hungry" sht
said, and offered the scrapings Of the
pot to the Dog.
Never had the Dog tasted anything
so delicious and he ate every NOR
sci that the mother gave him.
"You seem like a nice little Dog,
said the mother; "I will keep you!
The Dog thought over this an
nouncement carefully to himself:
Here are the Jackal and myself
always hungry. finding it so hard t.
get enough food to keep us alive
while here I am given delicious fooC
without even having to lift paw!
'Yes!" continued the mother, '-
will keep you; you can help me lool
after the baby" and she patted the
Dog on his shaggy head.
And the Dog deciding at once thai
the prospect was most pleasing, gave
a short, sharp bark and laid his heat
in the mothers lap.

"Abistan, if ever you want to see
me, come to this spot and I will meet
you"
When Abistan reached the village
he was surprised at the reception
he met.
The people crowded around him
crying, Where have you been? We

the game. The sheep replying also
repeat the same verse they formerly
said. The wolf then guesses another
hour, and so the game goes on until
a sheep is caught, and the wolf
trades with the sheep.
