Some mothers teach their chil- dren the father's name also, so that the address can be verified should the little tot stray out of bounds and get lost. Some children delight in overstepping bounds, and in running away on tours of exploration. The fear of getting lost does not enter their heads, although | there are many other children who find | it & heart-rending experience. In either instance, a spcedy homecomm, is neces- sary. For the safeguarding of the little folk and for the satisfaction of the parents it is wise to have them labeled at first, and later on equipped with the | ;ne:‘m of acquainting others with the acts.

His tongue was swollen from thirst. He panted with | every breath. The big cactus plants | | seemed to dance before his eyes. In | his longing for water he almost forgot | that he was also hungry. Somehow he | kept going and, as it happened, he was | going in the right direction at last, He didn’t know it. It was more chance, but a most fortunate chance. Lizards scuttled out of his way, but he didn’t even see them. His eyes were blurred and in that blur the big cactus plants | seemed to dance. He wouldn't give up, | however. You see, there was real cour- | age in Flip’s little heart.

In the distance he could see a sparkling lake. He could | see the green of grcwing things along | its shores. If he could get to that he would be saved. : He thought he was running. He wasn't. He wasn't much more than crawling, for he was very weak. But he | kept on. “I'll get there. I'll get there,” | he kept saying over and over to him- |self. “I'll keep on going until I get there.

He could see it all so clearly | that he didn't have a single teeny weeny doubt that soon he would reach it and then all his dreadful trouble would be at an end. Never before had he realized what & wonderful thing water is. It is one of those things that are a part of our dally lives and, so, accepted as a matter of fact BEDTIME STORIE THE EVENING MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

Every few minutes he stopped to look carefully in every dirzction and whistle and call. At last Flip could hardly drag him- self over the hot sand. And then the gleaming water vanished.
