Some time gd Marinette broke ber leg through an accident. Her
master net it, but was finally obliged to cut it oft. You mny be sure
the stork must hare been a great pet, that all this should bo done for her.
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.
Marinette js as proud as proud can be of her wooden leg, and struts
round with added dignity. It is doubtful if she would want her own leg

"One day I was out watching our few

I know T wouldn't be brave enough
to catch him."

AMONG THB CMVKB
TM'fl mother waa sure he would
coins to grief sooner or later.
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.

Down in the meadow,
Beside tho blue sea,

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.

Of wondrous net;

With dew-dinmonds set.

Waiting for insects

"Such vigor today;
I want to do something
To work it away."
So she spun n silk bag;

"I wonder If we'll ever get home."
sighed the chlck4 "Though I don't sup
pose you want to," said he. looking at
Tim.
Tim did want to, and mighty bad.
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 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.

Bunny Grows Fat
"NT ' I M

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.

the crane.
