"Well!" he exclaimed, "Mai Cousin

"Fine!" cried Roger' mother.
H wa that Gertrude and her
brother might have been seen at the
depot, a few wtek later, sitting lo
their father car. With them were
two city friends who, were visiting
them.
"Couiln Roger 1 a dandy fellow,"
explained Oert'a brother Joe, "but he's
kind of a diamond lo the rough."
"He Un't!" cried. Oeru "He' a
real diamond!"
Just then the train came puffing In
and Oert and Joe Jumped out of the
car to look for Roger. In a minute
they saw him,
"Hello there!" he cried. "Walt a
second. I ve brought something for
vou."
Moth cousin looked pleasantly ex
pectant while Roger went to the bag
gag room. Boon he returned carry
ing on end of a good-elzed crate
while a man helped with the other.
In i he crate wa something alive.
"What la It?" cried Gertrude.
"Look and seel" replied Roger.
Gert did look and gave a cry of
dismay, which she tactfully turned
Into a laugh, to as not to hurt her
cousin's feeling.
"If Bella," (aid Roger, with pride.
Tou can't 'farm up thl way without
rawing pork." .
The city visitor In the car put their
handkerchief to their noses and did
not seem a bit pleased whsn they

Cert took Roger's arm and aald: "It
ia awful good of you to glv u such

"There' no ly or anything for a
rig at our farm." remarked Joe.
fAR away I hear the robin singing:

All around are little voice springing,
And the drowsy day it done at last.

Neither of them paid much attention

"How funny!" Jamie laughed. "Do
pineapples grow on pine trees. Aunt
Delia V"
"No." replied his aunt, "they grow
on short, sticky plants something like
a cactus."
"How many grow on each plantt"
Jaml wanted to know."
"Only one."
"Only oner Where does It grow?"
"Right in th center of the plant,"
his aunt told him, "first cornea a

The road was pretty rough and
Bella grunted and snorted at every
thank-you-ma'm, but at last it was
over and they drove up to . front
porch.
"Welcome!" cried Aunt Gert, open
ing the front door wide. "Weill What
have you there?"
"A gift from Roger,"' explained Joe,
In a slightly sarcastic way.
"Ob dear me!" his mother ex
claimed, as Roger and the other vis
itor, Paul, carried the crate to the
porch.

"Get m a hatchet, please," aald
Roger.

"Never mind," replied his aunt,
"she's too heavy for you boys to

Koger then began prying open the
crate while everyone stood around
and watched with interest. The noise
of the prying and the Jar as each slat
was taken off seemed to daze Bella,
who lay still staring into space.
"Now, you're free, old gal!" cried
Roger, giving her a gentle prod. "Get
up and go to the barn."
Up went Bella's ear, while her lit
tle eyes rolled around.
"O-o-o!" screamed Mildred. "She
looks kind of crazy or something!"
For a moment Bella crouched there,
then all of a sudden she Jumped 'up
and scuttled out of the box, grunting
so loudly that Jig. the dog, fled in
terror.
"This way, Beiia, this way!" yelled
Roger, pointing down the steps. But
Bella paid no beed. In fact she made
a fierce dive in the other direction.
Joe happened to be in the way. He
stood with his feet wide apart and hit
hands on his knee a favorite atti
tude when he wa watching something
Interesting. Bella must have taken
him for an archway because she
plunged madly between his legs.
Kek! Eek! He fell square on her back.
"Stop her!" cried Aunt Gert. "Oh
my! She's in the house!"
Everybody dashed after the fright
ened pig, but Bella dodged them all
and backed Into an open door. It
was the door of a bed room which
was on the first floor, and which Mil
dred and Gert were using. Bella
fouqd It quiet in there and so she de
cided to creep under the bed and rest
awhile.
.Meanwhile there wa a wild search
going on which was at last given up
and Bella had a long nap in piece.
The next thing she knew she was
being disturbed by talking and laugh
ing. Gert and Bulla were getting
ready for bed. Luckily she couldn't
understand what they were saying
-o ut pigs. My! How hungry the
poor creature was!
"It ameils terribly musty In here,
but, of course, it's a very old house
and the plaster Is all falling down."
remarked Gert,
Just then Mildred began to scream.
"Look!" she cried. "A snake!"
So It was, curled up on the rug.
The cries of the girle brought Aunt
Oert and the cook, but Just as they all
came in Bella, who was famished,
spied the delicious morsel on the rug.
Out she darted from her hiding place
and before anyone could say Jack
Robinson, she was trampling that
snake. In two more shakes the snake
was no more. It had gone down
Bella's hungry throat.
"Did you see that!" cried Mildred.
"Th pi ssvd our lives I'm sure!"

A.V ANECDOTE
ONE day as Tar Peter was return
ing from a hunting trip he hap
pened to loiter behind the rest of
his party to enjoy the cool air.
As he rode thus alone he saw a boy
standing on the top bar of a gate look
ing up and down the road. The Tsar
rode up to him and said briskly, "Well,
what are you looking for, my boy?"
"Please your honor," said the boy,
"I am looking out for the king."
"Oh," said the Tsar, "if you will get
up behind me I win show him to you."
The boy did as he was bid and as they
were riding along the Tsar said, "You
will know the Emperor by seeing the
rest take off their hate to him."
Boon after they came up to the
party who were much surprised to see
their king thus attended and Imme
diately saluted him. Whereupon the
king turned his head and said: "Now
do you see who Is the King?"
"Why." replied the boy archly, "It is
Is one of us two. but I am sure I do
not know which, for both of us have
our hats on."
The king was o much pleased with
the lad's wit that he took him Into his
service, and' this same lad rose to be
one of the generals In the Russian
Army.
WHEN
ST Is always a good thing when you
are on a ramping trip to know how
to build a fire. Remember these
simple rules, and you will have the
knowledge to make yourself popular
on that next camping trip. Never
build a Are near any foliage or In a
place where It is likely to spread to
nearby trees or shrubs. It la always
a good plan to build a small pit of
stones In which you can In safety lay
your twigs for the Are. Have a space
around this pit cleared of any leaves
or twijrs that might catch fire. The
lirst thins to have to build a camp
fire Is a good sized box of matchxa.
The second thing to have Is a stock
of dry paper to lay at the bottom
of your fire for a good stnrL O top
of the paper lay small dry twigs loose
ly together so that a draft can get In
under the twigs and then light your
fire from the hotlom. If most of the
