rough, shaggy coat that was ao

"cross or out of aorta He would look at
you with those btr. honest eyas In auch
a orry. way. Then, after you put your ;
arms around hla neck, you felt much -better.
Every one loved Rover, but no

TALE JOF GRANDPA'S
CLOCK :
A DEAR OLD CLOCK It waa It
A reached 'way up aboye Elale'a
fi head, and waa ao"wtde that aba
could hardly touch either side with her
finger tlpa That' waa how ahe knew
aba waa growing. Whenever aba went
to see grandpa, aha alwaya ran to the
clock to see whether it wasn't eaaier
than laat time to stretch from aide to
Ida. ';"yv v. "''' -vr--
Aa he did thla though, she would,
whisper. "Please, Mr. aock. "by your
leava" for It was auch a dignified old
clock, with its big, solemn face, and lta
deep, booming chime. In truth, -Elsie .
felt Just a little afraid of it Many a
. time had ahe listened with open mouth
, aa grandpa told wonderful torie about
:, it v v""''-:
Elsie was again visiting grandpa. Of
.course, aha had first to go to the barn
and rub Winnie's nose, and then pat
' Tommla,' because be would get Jealous,
Just like some little girls Elsie knew.
' Funny, horse are lot like people.
After her romp waa over, - back she
, came to the house and began, a
always did, to wander all through the
big mansion. At laat she stood before
the clock. .
Somehow, (t didn't seem to frown aa
It usually did. Instead, its face seemed
to wear a beaming amlle of welooma
' Just then she botlced a curioua thing. -The
bit door of the clock waa opes
Just a wee crack. It la true, but atill it
waa open I . ,
-. Elate came nearer and hearer. Sure
ly there could be no harm la Juat peeo
lag. And . very likely there were so .
many wonderful things Inside. Bo she
opened the door the least bit farther,
though aha shivered aa ahe did so. But "
the face above still seemed to look on
her ao kindly that ahe grew braver, .
and, opening it wider, took, a good,
long look.
Elale felt disappointed. There were
the great weights and - the Immense
pendulum and all kinds of wiraa and
wheels, but whenever the clock had
struck Elsie always f ended that some
giant waa crumbling; and now there
wasn't even a sign of a giant.
.. Inside there was so much apace that,
she found the could nestle there quite ;
comfortably. . Just to see, how it felt,
' she pulled the door to. But It waa ao'
dark and gloomy ahe thought it would
be much nicer open. Oh, dear I the door
had atuck, and it wouldn't budge an
Inchl . .
. Elale waa 1 frightened, ' indeed." She
called aa toudly aa she could and ebe'
" beat the door with her tiny flats. ; Mo
one heard her.
, Then the clock atruck. t Aa the deep .
' tonea boomed, it Beamed la her Tory
. ear, ahe aauk into a corner too soared
to cry any further. .. The sounds rum- ;
bled ever so long. She was sure It was'
the gobllna whispering, and shiver aft ,
er shiver rah down her back. Even the
clock in Its Very tick seemed to be say
toff. "We've got you now we've ;
got- you now" over and ever again.
Could it be that some one waa com
met t f . : '
"Oh. grandpa, rrandpat" Elsie cried
wltb aU her might"
.'. Grandp4 thought at first 'twai mice,.,
and he opened the door to aee. How.
surprised he waa when Elsie flung her
self sobbing into his arms I
But he soon klaaed away the tears, ,
and before long Elale even amlled when '
he laughed t ad called her hie "Little
dickory, oickory, dock, the mouse who
ran up the clock." .
Elale never goea very near the old '
lock now. - "The old thing jut coaxed
me in, I know," aaya ahe, shaking bar
golden head wisely. ! v . .
Her Kind of Doll. ,
Aunty had promised her a new doll, if
ahe did her leasons well for a whole
week. The week passed, and she had
- earned the doll.
.'What kind will , you hava " dearf

"I believe I'd sooneat have twins,"
waa the clever reply.

Little he dreamed that the old woman.
' who had Juat passed, had- heard him,
ao that he was much embarrassed "to
perceive that ahe waa looking toward
him,
, "Xoung man." said she, sternly,' "I
am not exactly what I aeem. In real ,

beautiful and the ugly."'
; In vain the count pleaded that he had
. meant no barm. Tee fairy refused to
. remove the curse she had placed upon
' him.
The count really waan't a bad young
man. He waa kind and generous and
good-natured. But a .great many

foke fun at yeople, ao that he some

Sadly Wilfred retraced bla atepa

as his splendid cold and silver plate

"I want none of these foolish thlnga

Hla frlenda grew surprised and greatly

maid in tha city, and openly Insulted
the beautiful daughter of a powerful
prince who visited blm by declaring aha
waa the homeliest person be had ever
met. She never repeated her visit.
It, happened that a rich and beautiful
lady of noble blood, living in a neigh .

deeply. He, in turn, had been very
fond of her . before he had met the.
fairy. Thia devoted maiden ' pleaded
with her fairy godmother to try te cure

the very aame fairy who bad beatoweoT
the curse. She decided that the count .
had learned his lesson, and, therefore,
did as the lady aaked, ao that she might ,
be apared further unhappiness.
Count Wilfred alwaya refrained from
making fun of any one thereafter. He
