The first thin? Billy Whiskers came to when he reached the suburb of the city whs a flower and fruit stand, the owner of which was talking to a fat, blue-coated policeman. Both stood with their backs turned to the fruit stand. Now was Billy's't-hance. Lus( ious pejus, peaches and grapes lay before him, ready to be eaten, and without a moment's hesitation he began to sample each, while now and then he would eat a rose or two between, thus making his own salad. And he found he liked his own fruit salad served on rose leaves just as well as on lettuce. In reaching for an extra delicious
looking pear he had to stand on his hind legs with his forefeet on the lower shelf. But alas, for his greed! His weight on the board that formed the shelf was too much, and It flew up in the air, sending the fruit In all directions ind making such a racket that the fruit dealer heard it and turned around just in time to see the wreck of his stand. The man was so horrified and dismayed to Bee what had happened that he forgot what little

HOMEWARD BOUND
After almost three years of life in a Friends' Mission Station in Jamaica, I am now back in Richmond. Father and Mother took Mr. Syl
vester Jones (with whom I traveled) and myself to Kingston in the Ford, which is a trip of sixty-five miles around the east coast of Jamaica. We left Seaside early Thursday morning, and after a very hot and dusty trip we arrived in Kingston near noon. The boat sailed Saturday noon
and we lost sight of Jamaica that

you would have thought a dozen parrots had been suddenly let loose. The policeman tried to stop and catch Billy by spreading out his legs and waring his arms, but Billy only lowered his head and ran between the policeman's legs, upsetting him as he went through, for Silly was fat and the polioeman short-legged and there was not room to slide through without upsetting the man. The policeman picked himself up and started- in hot pursuit, swearing under his breath that If he ever caught that goat he woula club its brains out. Of course, the policeman could
not catch up with the fleet footed Billy, so he called out "Catch him!" But no one cared to attempt it, especially when Billy lowered his head with the long horns on it and ran at him. But at last, after dodging in and out among the people on the sidewalk and the carts and wagons In the street, one man was brave enough to catch him. He was a big butcher and he stood plum in Billy's way, and when Billy lowered his head at him, as he had at the others, the butcher caught hold of his horns and gave his neck a quick twist. This made Billy furious and he reared on his hind legs and struck at the butcher with his fore ones, and then the fight began; first one was on top, then the other, nd they rolled over and over into he mud of the street, while a big

The kitchen was rather big, with
largo cupboards that reached from
noor 10 cening. mere was a
stove, kitchen table and chairs, but all were covered. There was one door that led out to the back porch and another to the butler's
pantry and from there to the din
ing room, which, also, was large. The furniture in this room was
covered, as was all the furniture
in every room. They found a rather large library a living room, a bedroom, and a parlor, all on the first floor. There was a front and side stairway and the halls were large. Then they ascended the stairs to the second floor. Each guest room had a separate bath room. There were ;iree guest rooms and three other rooms, a nursery and a family bathroom. Next, they went up to the third floor. The rooms up there were not so well furnished, and so Billy and Agnes concluded that the servants must have occupied this floor, but if this was so, each ser-' vant had his own bath room. In the middle of the hall on the third floor were more steps, so they went lin ttiPRA nnAnprl a rtnnn anH fMinrl

"Oh, please," begged "Don't make me tell, secret." "A secret!" exclaimed
"Who's your partner?" "Billy," replied Agnes. "Then you know where
too?" asked Betty.
"I did know," Agnos replied, "But I do not now. He was with me. Now, that is all I will tell." Just then Billy appeared 'round the corner of the house whistling merrily. "Say, Bill," said Hal, "Tell vm
where you've been."
"Nuthi.ii' doin'!" said Billy. "Too
much fun in it." "Aw, please do," the others begged. "No, sir, ee e e!" said Billy. Then one day when Billy and Agnes were not exploring Mystery House, they couldn't find the twins nor the girls. Then, when they did appear, Agnes and Billy demanded of them to tell where they were. "No, sir, ee e c!" said Hal, imitating Billy, "You wouldn't tell us where you were." These little disappearances and appearances of both parties caused a little envy till one day Betty made a suggestion that proved no
end of fun.

YOUR FIVE SENSES By Aflella Untie Beard If you want to excel in woodcraft, train your five senses by us

Start in now and give allsight, hearing, taste, smell and touch the exercise they need to become as strong as the muscles in your active body. Do you want to have eyes keen enough to see the eagle's nest high up on the cliff, a mile, perhaps, away, or the deer grazing on the far off mountain sido, or Alcor, the little star not easily seen that is close to and above the middle star
Comrades He was sitting on a doorstep as I was strolling by, A lonely little beggar with a wistful, homesick eye, And he wasn't what you'd borrow, And he wasn't what you'd steal, But I guessed his heart was breaking so I whistled him to heel. Yellow dog he was; but bless you he was just the chap for me!
For I'd rather have an inch of dog than miles of pedigree. So we stole away together on the road that has no end, With the new-coined day to fling away and all the stars to spend. Dana Burnet, in Pittsburg Dispatch.

that this room was a private ball room. Agnes and Billy wondered where the other half of 'the house was, when they discovered doors at one
end. They opened them and then'
they looked into a spacious garret. Old trunks and old furniture occupied it. Agnes was just wondering if it would bo wrong to peep into the trunks when Billy (who was looking out of the window) shouted that Norene and Betty were coming. Out they rushed, down all the stairs to the basement. Billy helped Agnes out and told her to 'beat it for home' and then he crawled out and did the same. Agnes ran to meet them but they were just coming in the gate!

Begin with the sense of sight and send your eyes racing a long distance to a certain landmark, making a game of it and announcing what you see between you and the goal. Then push your sight beyond the first goal to a second one still farther away and tell what else you see. You will have to practice for this game of sight as for any other you hope to win. Practice every day and several times a day, until you can see clearly what, at first, was almost invisible. Exercise your ears in the same
