MABEL AND CARLO.
Mabel and Carlo are great friends;
they are the same age, and1 ?have been
together nearly all their lives. Carlo"is
a big mastiff, and seems to think there
is no ono like Mabel. They play together
all day long, and at night he sleeps at
tho foot of her crib. He often wakes
her in the morning by jumping up-to lick
her face. Mabel calls it Carlo's morning
kiss. They wero playing in the garden
one day, when Mabel climbed up some
steps and fell off, hurting herself badly.
Carlo ran into tho house and caught
hold of mamma's dress, and ran to the
door and barked. Then ho came back
and took her dress in his mouth and
tried to pull her to the door. He acted
so queer that mamma followed him, and
she found Mabel lying white and* still
at the foot of tho steps. The doctor was
sent for, and he said Mabel must b?
kept very quiet, tor some time.? Carlo
would not go out to play with tho other
children, but stayed by Mabel all the'
time. When she cried with the pain he
whined pitifully, but whom sho was abje
to get out again, he was almost crazy
with Joy. He brought the lines and whip
and laid them at her feet, as if to say,
"Come, let's play horso."

A CAT'S TROUBLE.
Dear T.-D. C. C?I will tell you ot my
poor cat's troubles. You remomber hor
name Is Nellie Gray. In May sho found four
pretty little kittens, but my papa said that
they must be killed. I begged very hard
for th? little kittens.? to stay with us,
so he G??????ea,.^a?? tht?y' grew to bo
very pretty and playful. . One was black,
two gray and ono yellowish gray, but
after they got large, they had fleas on
th?nn ana the fleas would get on us
when we played with them, and on last
week one of my uncles came by and
the dear little things wero put Into a
box and my unolft took them away.
Poor Nellie Gray did not know what
It meant, and el Id not seem to care at
the time, but I could not keep from cry?
ing. As night carao on, Nolllo began to
miss them, and she wandered around
crying lor them. The next morning she
woke mamma, up-crying at her door for
her children. She will never see them
ngalti, end seems to be very sod ahout
it. I did not know cats ever saw any
trouble, but they do some time, but she
does not cry for them at all now. I
think sne has given them up.
Your little friend.

DEAR BOYS AND GIRLS:
I have something important to tell you.
You have read that charming story, "The Wizard of Oz," of course. And probably you
have seen the. play. Well, the important thing I have to tell you is that the Scarecrow, the
Tin Woodman and others of Dorothy's friends are coming to the United States on a visit. Of
course you know all these people are children of magic' They come from the Wonderful
Land of Oz. They are apt to get into all kinds of mischief, as well as into all kinds of trouble.
Now, our paper?The Sunday Times-Dispatch?has made arrangements to tell you all
about their visit. Every week there will be a full page illustrated story told by Mr. L. Frank
Baum who wrote "The Wizard of Oz," you remember, and the pictures will be by Walt. Mc
Dougall, whose name is familiar to you all. Both of these gentlemen wear magic caps, which
make them invisible., and they will be able to tell the whole story in word and picture.
? But the best thing about this page will be that there will be a PUZZLE IN IT EVERY
WEEK, and Special Prizes will be offered for correct solutions of the puzzle. You will have
a fine time solving the puzzle and trying for prizes. Look for the new page about the first
Sunday in September. , ' ? ? -, -r n r r

A DAY BY THE SEA.
CHAPTER I.
It was one of those lovely August days
when one enjoys a good book or a nkp
In a hammock or a stroll Into the cool,
shady wood, more than anything else.
Besfi .our heroin^, was enjoying a
good booki, isrtien Helen, her co/ualn,
came In search of her.
"What do you want now, Helen? Is it
company, or a party, or a gypsy, or
new arrival, or what?" she asked, looking
up.
"Nothing of the kind," answered Helen,
taking a seat in the hammock with such
force that It made Boss's side jump.
"Well, what Is it,' then?" .
"It's?say. Bess, what is the name of
that book? Oh, It's 'Little Women,' isn't
it? I do love that book. Isn't it a shame
Laurie doesn't marry Jo?1' she said, tak?
ing up the little book.
"Oh, yes! That horrid old professor
ought to have been left out altogether,
don't you think so, Helen?"
"I certainly do. But I am disturbing
you. I must be going." And Helen git
up with a sigh.
"Stayl" cried Bess; "by all means tell
me whut you came to tell me."
"Oh, yes! How absent-minded In me to
forget! It's just this: Josle Is In another
scrape!"
Bess shut her book with a bang.
"Josephine promised me she wouldn't
ever get into another scrape .as long as
she stayed here."
"Well, I don't think she. meant any
harm, and had no idea, of getting Into
trouble," said Helen, taking a piece of
grass between her thumb and forefingers.
"Well," sighed Bess; Impatiently, "go
on."
"The child loves to tease, you know.
And Miss Bates's little dog is always
snarling, biting and snapping. So to-day
Jo was In no frolicsome humor, and M?as
Bates' and her dog came strolling along
down by the beach, where Jo was bask?
ing In the sun. The little dog came
snarling and snapping at Jo. and betoro
she could find her wits sho had dealt
poor doggie a hard blow."
Hielen paused for breath, and Bess
thumped ?impatiently on the cover of
the book.'
"And Miss Bates then flew at Joslo
and became furious, t can tell you. "When
she had administered a good hard slap
on Jo's Indignant cheek, sho took her
precious doggie and trotted home. Now,
you see, Jo meant no harm by giving Iho
dog auch a whack, but poor Misa Batta
is very much hurt, and Jo wants to beg
pardon, nnd Miss Bates will accept no
apology unless Jo begs her dog's pardon.
Jo won't do that, and Miss Bates is tell?
ing every one In the hotel a-bout it, Now,
what are we to do?"
"Jo must beg the dog's pardon, of
course,"
"But she won't. She positively re?
fuses!" answered Helen.
"Nover mind. She will for mo. Josle
always obeys me If no one else," said
Bess,
,'iWtjli, I hope she will be submissive,"
returned Helen, rising to go.
N "Tell Josle to come here at r>nco," call
eel Besa after her, ns Helen's tall, graceful
figure riirappeared. behind the hedge that
BIHTOiintlea the hotel;
In & few minutes a lowsled head fol?
lowed by a soiled, nnd torn dress, and
a p.-.lr of bare feet Jumped over Hy
fence, Less looked up. "Come here to
me. Josephine," she said In a commanding
tone. Josle did as she was bidden.
"Where have you been all morning,
Josle??'' ?he asked.
"?????? a dollclous time; went In
bnthlng; got Into a rpiarrel with Miss
Bates and her miserable dog; went out
boating, went berrying nnd lost my hat.
and Just going in now to dress for d?n-,
nor," hairl the young Indy.
."You must beg MIhh Bates'? pardon,''
anld Bess In a commanding tone,
"1 ellri, nut thn horrid old thing won't
accep! an apology, unless 1 beg the dog ?
pardon, too, and that I won't. How
could I beg a dog's pardon, Bess?"
"Easily; Just go to him and pat his
head une fay, 'nice old. rioggle; you whl
pardon m*?. won't you?' and then Misa
Bates, will he satisfied," said Bees.'
"Wml, 1 don't want to," answered
Josle,
''Josephine;'1 said Bess In ? very ejueor
voice, "you ''must."
Then t^he opened the hoo't and began
to re.i.'i, and without a word, Josle ? ?
off lo heg the dog's pardon- There vas,
something In Bees'? voice that made Jo
Obey her. It wrtH not long, however, be

"Good morning, girls," said Bess, sit?

"Quod morning," they all answered.
"We'T.e4Ju8t playing the game of tell
ng stunes,"sald Helen.
"Let ine play," asked Bq#s.
They answered yes, and In a few min?
utes they were telling a 'continued story.'
"Once upon a time," began Bessie?but
she got no farther, because Josle came
rushing up to tell Bess that Miss Bates
was very much pleasod, and had told
her that she and Bess and Helen must
come to see her often, and that lunch
was ready. The girls all hurried In to
lunch, and then after a while they all
went in to bathe. Oh, what fun they.,
hud! Josie.sut on the beach, and when
th'?y would come near she would throw
sand at them. They swam,? dived, float?

lady came down that way and sketched
them. And they couldn't help laughing
at the comical picture they made.

"MY TRIP TO NATURAL

Last Friday some friends across the
street Invited me to go with them to
"Natural Bridge." So by 6 o'clock A. M,
we were on the train ai.d at 8 o'clock
A. M. g-ot to the hotel. The first thing
we did when we arrived was to engage
our room and to go tip to refresh our

selves. Then wo started, out to go to
tho .bridge; which Is a very short and
pleasant walk. Rounding a bend we
came in full view of It. There Is an
cngle in black rock, nm the under side
of the hrielgo and under','.he eagle's wing
there Is a lion's head. The bridge 1?

Ar you walk along the pati) to go to
"Salt Petre" Cave all the bank Is cover?
ed with ferns and moss-grown rooks,
which you are not allowed to trpuble. At'
last, after this pleasant? walk we reached
"Salt P<ure" Cave. This is very damp
on account of the Halt Petre mi the
wall?. It was so cool lp "there that we
were glad to go In after our lone wall?
which had heated us very much. m
From the cave we went to "Lost River

flows over some flat rocks and spreads
out so thin that It looks. Ilk* lace. Tn?e
was the last thing we had to do except
go upon the bridge and that we left
for afternoon bo we turned around and
walked book and ' on the way I lost my
hair ribbon.
They we went back to the hotel and
sot cool and had dinner and after din?
ner we, went upon the bridge. It |s beau?
tiful to look down from that great high
place and see tho trees that look half as
small a ? they really are and the stream
that flows underneath.
"We couldn't stay there very long.though
because.our cheuperone was so frightened
about us.
We spent all the rest of the afternoon
catching craw-flsh which was ever bo
much fun and we caught several real

WHAT APPLE PIE
ORDER MEANT.
There lived a little girl not far! away
from a city, In it little village, who had
never been to a city kindergarten school,
and' they did not have a kindergarten
school where they lived. So. she had
never been to ?school to learn what apple
pie. order meant. One day," as It was near
the tltne of ? Susie's, birthday, she went
to "her. mother' and said: "Mother, Edith
has had: a birthday, party. May I have
one, too?" "Ves," ?aid Mrs. Neal, who
was the mother of the dear little; girl,
"you may, as you have never had any?
thing but a doll's party. But you must
be very good until to-morrow then, so
Mary and Julia can fix tho house nice
for your party. To-morrow evening you
can have your party."
Next morning real early Julia, the
cook, was. cooking pies and cokes, when
In came. Susie and began to beg to let
her make some little ones.
"Now,") said Jplla. "my kitchen Is in
apple pie order, and you''will have It a
sight If I do let you make some, but I
won't let you."
"What does apple pie order mean,
Julia?" asked Susie. '
"Go ask Mary, who Is cleaning up the
parlors."
Through tho pantry, out of the dining
room, with all force Susie ran, to where
Mary was. Mary had Just finished clean?
ing and had tho dust pan of trash In her
hand,' but Susie, In running so fast,
knocked it out of.her hand. .
"There,'; said Mary, "I had my floor
In apple .pie order, and now just look
what a sight." \
"I was Just going to ask what apple
pie order means,"
"Oh, It means neat and clean."
"Well," 'said Susie, "I am very sorry
? did it,' because I want you to dress me
for my party now."
I hope the little girl had a nice party
that; evening, but hope she will never
forget what apple pio order means.
