With all her might she ran, not once stopping to look behind, and soon she met HenPen. 66 Hen-Pen, Hen-Pen!" she cried, "the sky is falling! I saw it; I heard it; and part of it fell upon my tail." 66 Then they both ran till they met Cock-Lock. 'O, Cock-Lock,” said Hen-Pen, "we must run, for the sky is falling!" 66 66 66 Why, who told you so?" said Cock-Lock. Chicken-Little told me," said Hen-Pen. And how did Chicken-Little know?" She saw it, and she heard it, and part of it fell upon her poor tail." And now all three ran as if for their lives. 66 Where are you going in such haste?" asked Duck-Luck, whom they met in the way. 66 Run with us, Duck-Luck, for the sky is falling!" said Cock-Lock. 66 How do you know?" asked Duck-Luck, in fright. 66 Why, Hen-Pen told me.” 66 But how did Hen-Pen know?" She had it from Chicken-Little, who saw it, and heard it, and part of it fell upon her tail." And now they all ran,-you never saw such a sight,—and by chance they met Goose-Loose. Goose-Loose," said Duck-Luck, "have you 66 heard that the sky is falling?" "No, no," said Goose-Loose. know?" 66 Cock-Lock told me; he had it from HenPen; Chicken-Little told her; she saw it, and heard it, and part of it fell upon her poor tail." And so there were five to run,- Goose-Loose, Duck-Luck, Cock-Lock, Hen-Pen, and poor Chicken-Little. They ran and ran till they met Turkey-Lurkey, to whom they told the same tale, and he ran with them to get away from the falling sky. Next whom should they meet but the Fox, who was on his way to the wood. Good day แ 66 to you," said he; where may you all be going 66 66 'tell us Ah!" said the fox, "is that so? Then I must see what I can do for you. I have a snug, safe little place under the ground. You shall all come in and stay till the sky has fallen, and it won't hurt you at all." So they all went in, -Turkey-Lurkey, GooseLoose, Duck-Luck, Cock-Lock, Hen-Pen, and Chicken-Little, -into the hole where lived the cunning Fox-Lox with her hungry little cubs. And Fox-Lox went in too, but they never came out to see if the sky had fallen. 66 VIO'S LESSONS (continued from page 18).

Vio thought that was very funny. "The carryall is Roby's pencil," said she. "But, papa, " she added, "I haven't made a letter yet. It is only a part of one." t 'I'll put a dot over it, and make it one," said he. "There, now it is i, see; and, if I carry it twice as high, so, it will be t, that is, when I cross it; or, you can make u with two of them." "And that," said mamma, "is half of Auntie Lu's name." 66 You can write word," said papa. "Oh, what fun it خدا and that is a whole is!" said Vio. This is what Vio had learned to write. i i u ui it ti iu u ir in NOTE. The teacher will do well to illustrate the faults upon the board. Short lessons on principles should be taken daily during the entire year, the teacher giving her time to the work. The points are: the height of letters, the slant of lines, and the turns. JAMIE'S FOUR-HORSE TEAM. This is Jamie with his four-horse team. You see he has fine sport with it. He is going out to-day for a drive. It will take the whole afternoon.
