TT'S jun a perfect day to go may
flowering, Auntie," exclaimed Joyce.
"Do you mind If I tee If I can find
any In Mrs. Burns'a pasture?"
"But Joyce, that Is a very long way
from here," answered her aunt, "and
besides, it Is a very lonely walk, as
no one lives out that way."
' "Why, Auntie." laughed the girl, "you
Know nothing will happen to me around
here, where everybody knows everybody
else. I'll be all right."
"Well, dear," sighed Aunt Mary, "all
right, you may go, but be sure to be
back by 6 o'clock."
With a laughing remark, and a wave
of her hand, Joyce Lynd was off, walk
ing briskly down the country road. She
vvas a xery Jolly girl and exceedingly
popular In the small town. Since her
parents died, ten years before, she had
lived with her aunt. Miss Mary Lynd,
on the old homestead.
After walking for about two miles
along the dusty road, Joyce turned Into
a small pastuie. She had to cross sev
eral stone walls and barbed-wire fences
before Bhe came to the pasture where
the. maj flowers grew : but she was fa
miliar with the surroundings, so It was
not long before she vvas busily gather
ing the flowers.
She sang to herself, while ohe was
picking and consequently the time passed
faster than she realized But she would
not leave until she had all the flowers
she could carrs tn both hands.
"I'll come again tomorrow," she said
to herself, "and then maybe I'll have
enough to send a nice bouquet to all
ms' friends Won't that be nice? I
hope thev like them as well as I do,
but t don't sec how they could help
liking mayflovvers, they are so piettj
and fragrant."

fences, but. when she came to the one
which separated her from the toad she
hesitated.
'Oh, dear!" she exclaimed, 'I don't

"What's the matter? Have you hurt

"No, but I'm caught on this barbed

It took hut a minute for him to set
her free, and as she sank wearilv down
to the ground and began to gather up
the maj flowers she had dropped, she
said
"Thank jou very much for coming
along and helping me. I vvas afraid

"I generally drive fast, especially en

The audience jelled its approval.
"Hey there, jou Heron. What are

looked toward the window. There was
Balky Sam. She had forgotten all
about him in the excitement of start
ing the show "Let me In! I'll show
sou how to be funny'." he hee hawed
"Come around to the stage door"
ordered Peggv, Bailey Sam disap
peared, and in' a moment made a erand
entrance upon the stage. He was walk
ing on nis nina legs, while behind him,
with his forehoofs upon his back was
a goat. Behind the goat, also walking
on his kind legs, was a fierce-looking
English bulldog The three paraded
around the stage.
"Didn't J tell you I was a circus
mule," hee-hawed Balky Sam to
Peggy as he passed her. "I'm eolnir rr.

Johnny Bull growled menacingly.
Presently Peggy made out he was
giving her a warning. '
"There's a fellow back on the stage
we'd better keep our eve pn," he said.
"He looks like a Hun to me."
Peggy looked back, and sure enough
there among the stage hands was a
villainous looking chap, who" was
scowling out at the American soldiers
as ir ne natea every one or them. She
would probably have paid more atten
tion to him, but Just then Balky Sam
started his stunts. He walked over
to Sambo's corner and looked down at
the negro. Sambo was still rubbing
his head.
"Come up on the stage," hee-hawed
Balky Sam. Bui, of course, Sambo
didn't understand. He just made a
face at Balky Sam.
"Ah dldnt come here to see no ff
