He came home with glowing accounts, and the bills on the fences were most alluring! Little Girl Next Door was going, but Annie knew that it was useless for her to hope for such good fortune. Father could not spare the money. There would be 50 cents, the price of the ticket, then the cost of the trip to town both multiplied by two for some one must take her. To forget her disappointment Annie took her Angora kitten and started for walk in the woods pasture. e TP jr s Jt-J-L-ll II I Wrong, Professor Owl.

The woods pasture ended abruptly in hill whose top wat crowned with an overhanging ledge of rock.

MANY long years ago there reign ed in Mosul a Sultan who wm tyranical to hi jubjecta and cared little for their happiness.' Hi Viiier, however, was just the reverse of the Sultan. The Sultan was easily offended, how ever; and the Vizier did not dare to remonstrate with him on his careless government' nor counsel him to mend his wavs. But the Viiier was t very sagacious and ingenious man, and he at length devised a plan whereby he could bring home to the Sultan some idea of the deplorable state into which the tountry was falling. The Sultan was very fond of stories and was ticver weary of listening to them. Indeed, he often hired profev sional story-tellers to amuse him with their tales. One day when the Sultan was feel ing bored with everything he said to hi Viiier: "Why can not you get someone to tell me some new stories. I have heard not on new one for a week." "Oh, my royal master," said the VI- tier, "I have just heard perfectly new story myself." "What it it about r asked the Sultan. "About two owjs, my Lord Sultan," answered the Viiier. "Tell it to me ; tell it to me," ordered the monarch. "No one has ever told me the story of two owls." And the Viiier then told the itory, which was the kind of a story which is called a fable, "Oh, my Lord Sultan, there lived once two owls, both very wise birds, and one of these owls lived' in El Basra." "That is the kingdom next to mine," said the Sultan. "It it," answered the Vizier, and con- Whafi fairer than the month af Juntt A'l earth is gay and sings a tun; It it the month of bluest skies, Pair downing and dear butterflies, Oh, June, June June! fairy-like beauty of the scene, resolv ing to return with a trowel and get tome of the vine for grandmother hanging baskets. She turned her head for one more look when a little dark object caught her eye. At first she thought it was a" stray puppy. She looked again. There were three more of them dart ing in and out of the fern-lined cave and thenthere was a large one peeping from under the flowering vine ! Annie watched spellbound then dropped on a moss-covered stone and buried her face in her hands the daisy bedecked cat leaping from her arms in amazement! She was dreaming she knew she was her eyes were trying to make her see the picture the hired man had told about. Still doubting she looked Up again, there they were, leaping back and forth over the mother" back, just as he had said, but, there the resemblance ended! The mother was not a lioness, but a red fox the cave Was her den and her young were playing around her! "Come Kitty," Annie called , to the fleeing Angora, "let us watch them. We have a little circus of our own with a nice soft' seat instead of the hard board hired man said he had to sit on. Admission Is free and eve.l grandmother would approve for there is no crowd which is a pity for heap of people would enjoy this mother and her babies, too, If they could only see them." Then the Angora, spilled from An nie's lap, started on the homeward path, for Annie was dancing and clapping her hands! "Why shouldn't they see It? The moving picture man can take this just as he did the lion mother and this will be to different in a real cave lined with pretty ferns and with the wind m-X -ennnwnent, i TTK J f'ii'i'l i n i ' u';l.u H, .' g tinued: "And the other owl lived in El-Mosul." . "That it my own kingdom," exclaim ed the Sultan. "Go on." And said th Vizier: "The owl In El-Mosul said to the owl in El-Basra: "'I haw t daughter, you have a tea. Let us unite our families by marrying them to each other. "'I am willing to do that,' said the owl in El-Basra, "but I will want a dowry with your daughter.' "'Certainly, you shall have it,' said the owl in El-Mosul, but what dowry will you want?' "And replied the owl in El-Basra 'I require 100 ruined, dilapidated village Dear June, the time of drowsy song, The bees are humming all day long, And golden honey silver dew Is being gathered in for you In June, June, Juntt blowing that flowering vine.

And the man could not really under stand then. "What do you expect to get out of this?" he asked. "How do I know thf t the picture will be attractive that it will take?" "Suit yourself about coming," father answered. "It occurred to my little daughter that city people especiall,, would enjoy so ideal a country picture. The foxes are on my place you have my permission that is all." But the man came early the next morning Fnthrr and Annie went with him to the bVk woods pasture. The sun was out bright and so were the foxes--livelier than ever. Th man was charm ed! He workrd all morning fathei ?.nd Annie eiding by repeated sugscs tinnt regarding points from which to take the picture. Finally he wat tis(ied. With his outfit packed he asked: "Now please direct me the shortest way to the nearest railway station for your country air has made me as hun gry at one of our hears.

"But I am a stranger," objected tne circus man. "A fault that is being remedied every moment," father replied. So over the fried chicken, beaten biscuit, fresh garden vegetables and strawberries the circus man grew tn know Annie's family.
