Strong “Make-Believe.” Donald and his sister Helen delight in playing house together. Each child has @ house in different parts of the sumc®room. Helen was making a eall on Donald, and Dorald invited her to sit down on the only chair he had in his house, while he sat down on a smatk bucket, which he had turned upside down. Finally Donaid grew restless sitiing on the upturned bucket, and in the course of the con- versation he asked: “How long are you going to stay?” “I thigk I'll stay all night.” Donald twisted around on the little seat all thé while, and © “well, if uncomfortable you'll have to give me that chair, cua 1 can't stand this bucket.” Corean and Chinese Languages.

The thing that happened when ;(lu:re was such jealousy for leader- | ship when the ! boy and girl ad- | venturers ~ met other adventur- ery was this. The boy told the right way to go, but the girl had left him because she | wanted to ‘show the others that she was very in- dependent and| fine. And she really knew that the boy had been right. She was worried, too, they had, used all the had { | JFar RD"W',“ the £50d in the knap- i ol sack. | And night had come on. “I'm lost,” the girl cried. “I'm | afraid to move for fear I may fall down.

Now, we've lost each other in the darkness because I was foolish | and wouldn’t follow the way I should | go.” | And the boy was saying, “If I move, I may slip and be dashed to pieces.” “Oh,” he added, “how awful it was to act like that and treat so badly the girl who has been' on all the. adven- | tures with me, and who is so willing | to go on and on. | “I was a brute. Maybe the toad who can grow large in a few minutes because the giant gave him the power to grow large when he wanted to pun- ish people who bullied others, will come and beat me. “Oh, dear, oh dear. Well, I don’t care if he does beat me, if only he will bring back my companion to me. I never will be cruel again.” “How mean it was of me to leave her. Oh, I may never see her again!

Maybe she's freez- | ing.” And the girl, who had wandered | about a little more, feeling every footstep of the way through the black | night, was shivering with the cold of | the night and the fear. Her hair was damp with the fog which had come up, and her hands felt cold and clammy and wet. “I was.so stubborn,” she said. “Oh, what a little wretch I was, and after the boy brought me on this trip—te be so mean and ungrateful! It's not every girl who is given a chance like thig to go adventuring.. It's mighty, few—if any at all,” she sald. “I hear a strange sound,” sha went on. “Boy, Boy,” she called out. “I¢ it you?” But only a rumbling sound an- swered her. / “They promised us there were no such things as bogeys and ghosts, and ‘that there were no wild animals any- where around, but it is awful Polng lost from the boy.” At last daylight came.
