A wooden leg was then made for Marinette, and her master has another cne handy, in case anything should happen to the one she is now wearing.

It is doubtful if she would want her own leg back if sho could hare it Catching the Wolf To Make an Airship ALICE had Just been to the Zoo. title was telling srrandma all about her trip.

"One day I was out watching our few sheep at pasture when I espied- a big wolf slyly coming from the woods. "Calling to the sheep, we all ran helter-skelter to the barn.

So you see that eyond "frightening us. Mr. Wolf did no harm. It Is much more pleasant to watch him in the Zoo, however, than when he is tearing after you." "i should say ao," agreed Alice.

He was such a daring little duck ling, always getting Into mischief. Hardly had he come out of his Shell when he asked Mrs. Duck If hs might not travel out into the world. "No. my dear, there Is yet a great deal for you to learn before you will be able to take car of yourself." said Mrs. Duck. But when Tim could swim flulte fast he said to himself that now ha could surely pass through aay danger that might befall him. So away he started, one bright morning, when his mother wasn't watching. Sad to any, Tim wasn't a very obedient duokllng. But then, he knew so much better than his mother what waa right "I shall go ail the way around the world." he declared, boastfully. "What's the use of staying at home and never seeing anything?" On he walked, right merrily, eagerly drinking In all that be saw. Presently Tim found himself among a brood of chicks, each about the same size as himself. The old hen looked at him and asked, "Where la your mother, little duck ling?" "I have left my mother and am now on my way around the world," answered Tim. proudly. Mrs. Hen cackled scornfully. "Better go home while you know the way," she advised. Then ho'Vald him no further attention. But the other chicks all danoed around him, chirping mockingly. At laat Tim frrew frightened. He dashed through the circle and ran ae fast as he eould. One little chick ran after him and soon caught up with him, Growing bolder, now that there was only one of his enemy. Tim turned. The fight waa on in good earnest. Ju.t then they happened to look up. Tim saw a great big animal, with im mense eyes and a waving tall, crawl ing toward them. "It's the cat." squealed the chick, and away he ran. The duckling followed. Right before them was a path leading to a pond. In a second thoy had reached the water edge. Tim Jumped In and was safe. On the brink stood the chick, shiver ing with fear. By Margaret W. Leigh ton Down in the meadow, Beside tho blue sea, Dwelt a little Arachnid, As trig as could be. Her gown it was velvet, With buttons of gold. Her head wai. pale gray. Yet she didn't look old. h-i .:":K-J.!i V i w "Come In or the cat will get you I" crlod Tim. "1 can't swim," moaned the chick. In despair. "It's easy enough." said Tim. Then he remembered that his mother had told him that chickens were too stupid to ever learn to swim. The next moment Tim had reached the bank. "Jump upon my back, quick ly." he told the chick The chick did so. and the duckling hastily awam out upon the stream Just as Tabby arrived at the bank. Tim swam to the other shore and they were once more on land. The chick ttmnked him again and again, l'ur a long time thi-y watched for Tabby to go away. They were both hungry, but neither had ever hunted for food all by himself, sp they could find hardly nothing. THE ESCAPE A Test of THKIti; la a kingdom situated In a little known part uf the world. Kor this reason, you may know It Is not at all up-to-date In many of Its customs. The king had sent his daughter to Paris to study. When she returned She was wiser than tho wisest In the kingdom. It waa decided by his majesty that the princess should marry. This she was willing to do, for she dearly loved a young notijeman, who returned her affection. The king's preference, how ever, was either the minister of state or the commander-in-chief of the armies, both of whom sought her hand. "Let us test their sincerity," pleaded the prioress; "and he that best shows his devotion will I marry." To this the king agreed, and the three suitors were summoned to ap pear. As they appeared, the prlnoess hand ed to each a photographlo film. "Wear this," said bIk to each, "upon your breast, and In two weeks return to me." Now the three had never heard of photography, nnd so went on their Way wondering. It was tho cuBtom In this country for every man to bare himself to his Ilor eight beady eyes What couldn't they see I Her eight striped legs How spry they could be ! Her house was a marvel Of wondrous net; Spun in the itfht, With dew-dinmonds set. Here she sat patiently. Day after clay, Waiting for insects A-coming her way. First, a red drngon-fly; Then a green hpppcr; Next, a great bumblebee My, what a Whopper I "I feel." said Arachno, "Such vigor today; I want to do something To work it away."

The world wasn't such a nice place to be In all alone, after all. Tabby finally slunk away. Again Tim carried the chick across the stream. Then he would have gone away, but the chick pleaded that he come along and see Mrs. Hen. Mrs. Hen was grateful. Indeed, to Tim. And when Tim ahamefaoedly con fessed that he would like very much to go home, she vary kindly led him back to Mra. Duck. Tim was glad enough to go home, I can tell you. Thereafter he obeyed his mother, and went only where she said he could go. He knew now that she knew much more of the world than he. Faithfulness waist and ascend to hia housetop morning and afternoon to pray for the royal family. The young nobleman was always faithful In his prayers for the prin cess. Now he was doubly so. The minister of state prayed for a minute every three days, and the general about once a week. In two weeks' time the three again appeared before the king. The prln ceas had asked him beforehand to have each bare hia breast and remove the film. And, lot on the breast of the general there appeared a eort of blur. On the breaat of the minister could be seen what seemed to be the picture of the princess, though very faint. But on the young nobleman's breast was the princess' portrait, strong and clear. Tou see, all the times he had gone to his housetop to pray the sun was printing the picture on his breaat i while the sun had little chance to aot upon the other two films. But the king, knowing nothing of this, marveled. "Hero," he thought, "Is true devotion. The young man has thought so much of the princess that the magic plarter has prlntei" her im age on his breast" The nobleman married tha pflnoees. With three hundred eggs, Tucked away out of sight. "Now who," she cried gaily, "Can that , r be A-pulling my doorbell Ho very softly f "A gay little lover! Well, well I (lerlnrol Como in, Mr. Spidor, Right up my white stair." "Sweet Lady Araohne, How lovely you are I Ne'er saw I such beauty A-near or afar I" The wedding was simple, Tho honeymoon brief; Said the briue, "Little husband, 'Tis truly a grief "That now yoa must furnish My dinner for me." And she gobbled him up Just as quick as coulJ be. i . Bunny Grows Fat "NT ' I M cleanl 1 you i I'M going to begin house- ilng this very day. If you weren't so dreadfully untidy. Mr. Bunny, perhupa it wouldn't be necessary, but no re spectable rabbit would care to live In a burrow as dirty as this." Mrs. Bunny ahook her head determinedly. Can't you put It off for a few months, dear? I do so hate house cleaning," pleaded Mr. Bunny. "No, I wont" snapped Mra. Bunny. "60 HANDSOME A RABBIT" "If you don't care to stay here, you can run over and pay Uncle Peter Kabblt a vlalf "Good ldoal I will," cried Mr. Bunny. So he tied hia very best ribbon round hia neck and took hia very beat cane and started off. Aa Mre. Bunny saw htm disappear over the fence she thought to herself "that she bad never seen so slim and graoeful and handsome a rabbit She felt sorry for having scolded him so roughly. Mr. Bunny arrived In good time at the bouse of Uncle Peter Rabbit Uncle welcomed him gladly. For aeveral weeks the two led a gay life together. Mr. Bunny ate so much and took so little exercise that he became plump and round and lazy. At last Mr. Bunny, after aaylng good- to Uncle Peter Kabblt started for home. He reached the tidy little burrow, but found, to his sorrow, that he had grown too fat to squeese through the hole. Mrs. Bunny heard the noise and came out. "How are you. my dear?" asked Mr. Bunny, affectionately. Mra Bunny looked at htm angrily. "And, who are you, sir," she demand ed. "Why. my dear, your husband, of "AND WHO ARB YOU1" course," gasped Mr. Bunny, almost overcome by aurpriso. Mrs. Bunny replied: "Mr. Bunny, Indeed! 1 tell you that Mr. Bunny la slim, nnd hundaome, and not ridicu lously fat and pulty as you are." In vain. Mr. Huiiny argued. He was turned from tho door. "When my slim, handsome Mr. Bun ny comes, I will let him tn, but no fat rabbit like you can come Into my home." Mrs. Bunny had said, in part ing. , , Ho Mr. Bunny ran round and round the cabbag-o patch. It was hot work, and the perspiration rolled from him in streams, but he kept at It until" Mrs Bunny at last believed! he was thin' enough to be her husband. Mr. Runny had learned his lesson. He never ffln became laxy, and ao never grew fat. OR KACT otKtadoxr rj art J"ijiaf A Funnv Hav Ride Juv: hunqlER I thlnk's aboat thaw aleepieirt fellow thera la.
