"Corns on. children. let's all get together in our yard this morning." suggested Helen. "School will be starting again and then there won't be as much time for playing. Pe- ter, you ask Susan and David and Laurie to came over. I'll ask Alan and Janet. and we'll call Donnie. Sybil, Jeannie. and Marie over too. We'll have run together."

Before ten minutes the yard was Frisky had tagged along too for of course, Where Laurie went. Frisky went

' too. Laurie had wanted to take

Linda. but Mrs. Page thought Linda had better play at home.

"Now that we are all here. what are we going-to play?" asked Sybil.

”I guess I'll play horse," spoke up Peter. "Laurie and David will be my horses."

"Oh no," inlerruted Helen. "This is one time we are going to all play together. I know. let's play circus "

"How do you do that?" inquired

' Alan.

"We'll each act something," de-, cided Helen. "We can sing orll dance or say a rhyme. or do a; stunt. We'll make a circus tentl out of blankets. You'll all have to, help."

And they all did help. The girls tugged and pulled at the blankets until they had them fixed. Laurie and David brought big stones to hold down the edges. Peter and Alan got two boards and put them on harrlivood blocks from the woodpile for seats.

"I'll be the dancing girl." de- cided Sybil. "My skirt is right full and swisky. Look!" and she twirled herself around.

"I'll be the clown and do somer- snulls." grrinned Peter.

"Since I'm wearing my cowboy suit I'll be Roy Rogers," said Alan. "I'll use this old brown handle for my horse. Wait until I find a paper bag to make his head."

.Ianet thought a while. "I think I'll play the piano and sing. Lend me your top piano. Helen."

Susan and Laurie hung back for they just didn't know what they should be.

"I'll be the big lion and roar." laughed Donnie. "This empty box can be my cage." ,

"I'll be I stunt driver." spoke up Jeannie. "I'll drive my tricycle round and round the ring. Maria is too little to do anything by her- self. so she can ride with me."

"Bang, bang. bang," went David with his red water pistol. "I'll

NEVER JUDGE BY LOOKS

Looks may help. but never trust Looks alone, unlus you must, -Old Mother Nature.

Johnny Chuck's young son who had. wandered into the Green For- est and become lost, was face to face with a stranger. "Who are you?" grumbled the stranger.

"The young chuck said nothing. He had lost his voice. He was af- raid. He wanted to run to a place of safety, but he didn't know where. All he could do was stare most lmpolltely.

"Have you lost your voice?" ask- ed the stranger. His own voice wasn't wholly pleasant. It was part grumble and part whine.

The young chuck found his voice at last. "I'm Buster," said he in a small voice.

"Buster iihal?" demanded the stranger. ”The only Buster I know is Buster Bear."

others laughed at three year old David, so his part was settled.

"And what are you, Laurie?" asked Helen.

Laurie grinned up at her. "I'm going to be the audience." he said. "Some one has to sit in the seats to watch. Frisky will sit near me too." Audience was a new word for Laurie. for he had heard It just

quite well for a big boy not yet tour.

"I'll be the audience too," Sus- an added quickly for she usually did whatever Laurie did.

"Now I think we are about all settled as to what we are to be." said Helen. "It will take some of us a few minutes to get ready, then the circus will begin."

"When I saw the circus last time," Laurie remembered. "they had elephants and they paraded. The clowns did stunts and they had animals in cages too."

"All right. We'll start off with a parade first." agreed Helen. '”We'll all be in it. You run and get your horn and drum. Peter, so we can have some music. After that we'll do our acts."

Then the children all got very busy getting themselves ready and

shoot the Indians."

"That will be just great." the

o the silly game I don't want

the day before, but he managed It -

"I'm Buster Chuck. rm a wood- chuck," replied Buster, still in a lather small voice, but gaining con- fidence. "If you please, who are you?"

"Don't tell me you don't know who I am. Everybody in the Green

Forest knows me," replied the other. "But I've never been in the

Green Forest before, so how should I know who you are?" replied the young chllck. Then a surprising thing happened. It startled the young chuck so he couldn't move. The black stranger whose coat seemed to be of long hair. sudden- ly became another person altogeth- er. He seemed to be half again as big as he had been. and he had the strangest looking coat the young chuckthad ever seen. In- stead of a coat of long black hair, he seemed to be wearing an odd- looklng coat of stiff. pointed, white and black hairs that didn't look like hairs at all. Then as sudden- ly as the stranger seemingly had changed his coat, he changed it back again.

"Now, do you know who I am?" he asked.

When he managed to find his voice the young chuck confessed that he still didn't know. He did not like to admit it. but he really had no idea at all who this strange- looklng, strange-acting person was.

"I'm Prickly Porky, the Porcu- pine," sald the stranger. trying to make his voice sound important "Nobody dare touches me," he boasted. "When I come along. everybody gets out of my way."

The young chuck looked at Prick- ly Porky-'s big front teeth. "I should think they would," said he. "I've never seen such teeth as yours."

"It isn't my teeth they are afraid of," replied Prickly Porky. "It is these."

Once more he seemed to change coats. Of course what he did was simply to make the thousand little

"Now do you know who I am?" he asked.

spears called quills appear through the hair of his coat.

"Oh!" exclaimed the young chuck, and backed away a little.

Prickly Porkly looked as pleased as was pouible with such a dull face as his. "That is why nobody dares touch me," said he. "Any- one who touches me. gets hurt."
