A little miss entered a atraet ear carrying a basket, from which ap peared, from time to time, tha head of a tiny dog. She asked tha conduo tor to atop at a certain street. When the car stopped, aha held tha tog up to the window. "Don't you wlah to gat offT" In quired tha conductor. "Oh. no," replied aha; "I Juat wanted rido to see where hla mother Uvea" t4 DOES Toylir-nd enjoy itseift Bleat you, yea.

It i t nihtswhen ether folk are in bed, that they come together and talk and play, in much the same way aa boys and rii1a An. For many of the games played by the little folk of Doljville, the ideas were furnisLed by Anabelle. Ana belle was the pretty French doll, you know, and aho was as clever as she was hanome. Never was she at a loss for an idea TBB MAID SPEAKS HZB MIND T don't see why wV should be without a paper. Mortals have lots of papers and books and magazines and everybody knows we are much brighter than they." The French captain of dragoons twirled his saber thoughtfully as he listened to Anabelle. At last be said: "That might well be managed, if we could only get enough people to do the work For instance, whom would we hava for editor P "I think you would make a tip top editor," replied Anabelle. "It Why, I hare to drill my dragoons every day. Don't you think we'd better ask tha French gentleman to undertake the work!" "No. I don't like him at all; he winks at me so naughtily. Besides, you're only five dragoons now, sinoe those horrid children broke three more yesterday. Come, I know youll be editor," said Anabelle, ooaxingly. The captain sadly nodded. "Yea, that's true," he mused; "out of a whole squadron of fine soldiers there are only five men left, and those fir are so battared that they're not in fit condition to drilL Well, if you insist, I suppose I will accept the position. But shouldn't wo have a meeting first I" " Toyland was so very busy that only a few attended the meeting. Indeed. Anabelle, the captain, the Indian, the Jap, the Teddy Bear, and Topsy made up the ' whole party. As Anabelle always had her own way, the captain was speedily elect ed editor. Anabelle wished to be society editor, so she became so ciety editor. But no onelse could be found to take any share of the despair the captain and Ana-, belle decided finally to do it all themselves. It took quite a time to hit upon a name, but at last "The Dollville Journal" was votod upon. The editor's first act was to ap point the monkey his office boy. The monkey waa very quick when he wished to be and, besides, would probably be able to report a great deal of news. The snail was very envious, as be thought the job should have been his; but nobody paid any attention to him. Then the captain strolled around Toyland, as'.ing all the people to give him news. r NEWS MADE TO ORDEB Every one said they would be glad to do so. In fact, the rocking horse ran over the hen then and there, just so an accident could get into the paper. . Nor was the society editor idle. Her doll friends had promised that they would have teas and receptions in order t6 help her. Of course, Anabelle was present at all of these. There wasn't much 6he didn't know about the doings of Toyland by the time her iaits were ended. Meanwhile, the captain began to 1 think that ho would have to print something about politics. As there was nothing to publish he declared he'd make something. He ordered the monkey U tell all Toyland that there was to bo a big meeting. Un fortunstely, only the toy cat and tho dresden china shepherd boy came, and the meeting was so dull that the shepherd boy, just to en liven things a little, threw a rub ber ball at the captain. The ball knocked off the captain's helmet, the boy and the oat ran away, and so the speech waa ended. ANIMALS WOXUCED HARD But the animals really did work' hard. Every animal in Toyland was at his post and a glorious cir cus they had. Noah arranged everything, and tho performance came off splendidly, with the ex ception of two or three little acci dents. A leg of toy rabbit was broken, and a glass eye of one of the ponies disappeared. Indeed, the crowd at the circus no doubt ac counted for the small number at the political meeting. That evening Anabelle and the editor compared notes. The Irish man set the type and ran off the edition on the toy printing press. Next evening there was excite ment enough, I can tell you. All Toyland crowded toward the editor's office, each one with some grievance. No one was pleased with what had been said about them in the "Jour nal." As they pressed forward the editor held them back at his sword's-point. But soon they over came him and broke him all to pieces. With him died "The Doll ville Journal" The children who owned these playthings always thought that the captain had been broken to pieces by rats, but we know better, dont we I WV"wU I Si IO ONE was fonder af aema ...' rajaa. so that when a huaabla ulnar uncovered one of tba most beauUful dlanaoada la the world aa faithfully took It to the rajah and presented it ta him.

That la why sl)e waa given a new, shining coin each week for her very own. The little girl aaved all these coins and put them In a little box. Tha box aha hid out in tha barn. Only tha cock knew this hiding place. The farmer hired a man to work for . him in the fields. Thia man was very wicked, although, of course, the farmer didn't know ha was ao bad when ha hired him. Ona day thta bad man saw tha little girl put away a cola la tha box that waa bid in tha barn. "Ahal" aaid he; "thia very night I will go and ateal the money." But the cock heard him say thia. Ha quickly gathered together all tha fowls of the barnyard and told them what tha man had aaid. "I'll Jump at him and peck hla eyes out!" aaid the gooaa. "So will war cried tha turkey and tha pigeon togather. And tha reat aaid: "So will wo.,r Tha wise cock thought for a while. "No." said he; "I have a better plan." That evening when the thief entered the barnyard, ia was greeted with auch a . cackling and a crowing and a cooing as was never heard before. Tha farmer could not help hear tha noise. Ha jumped from bed, grabbed his erun and went down and caught the thief. The little girl felt sura it was her pet, the cock, who had 'done thjs. She took all her money and bought htm from tho farmer.

Now that tha en emy were almost upon them, the Ro mans forgot to be carelgss and began to aummon their legions. But they had waited so long that they were entirely unprepared to resist their aavage foe men. The old senator. Horatla's father, did not despise the Gauls, aa did the others. He had fought against them, and ha knew that only well-trained soldiers could hope to overcome their recklesa neis and bravery. Tha Roman legions were no longer well trained.
