THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK
gate and a huge stone wall barring his
entrance to a park.
Surely this must be the candy forest,
or why would so much pains be taken to
keep people out, particularly small boys,
he pondered, as he peered in through
the bars, tryiiig hard to locate the choco
late drop trees among the rest. Then he
sought an entrance into the enchanted
forest, finally getting in through a small
gate.
With a merry cry he darted forward,
but try as he would he could not find the
candy trees and the chocolate drop trees
in particular. But they must be here, he
thought, for this is surely the candy
forest, so onward he gaily romped, but
no sign of a candy tree ; not even a pep
permint drop tree in which he had no
interest whatever, could he find. Then
it occurred to him that the dainties might
be hidden in the tree tops and so he gazed
long and earnestly up among the bare
branches, wondering why candy should
flourish when the leaves were gone.
An iron settee in the sunlight, attracted
him and he clambered up. He would
rest a while and search again. The little
head drooped forward. Wolf slept. The
enchanted candy forest was all about
him ! He romped merrily, gathering lus
cious chocolates and bon bons, trampling
peppermints underfoot !
F
And while Wolf romped in the Dream
Candy Forest all the great city sought
him. Presently two burly policemen
stopped beside the settee.
"This looks like the b'y, now," re
marked one of them.
"The very fellow. Poor kid, he is
tired to death.1"
Great strong arms gathered the little
form against a broad breast and two
blue-coated officers seated themselves.
Wolf did not awaken at once, but the
constant changes of position to which he
was subjected, though gentle, soon began
to tell on his consciousness. He opened
his eyes and saw himself in the arms of
the big policeman, and it seemed so
strange he was sure he must be in fairy
land. He was not afraid, for he knew
no fairy would hurt him.
The officer saw him open his eyes and
spoke :
"Well, Johnny, how do you feel after
your sleep
"My name isn't Johnny," answered
Wolf.
"Then what could it be. I wonder if
I could guess."
"Try," said Wolf, interested at once.
"Katzenjammer."
"No."
"Buster Brown."
"No."
"Wolf Logan."
"That's it." And Wolf clapped his
hands.
"How did you know V"
"Oh, people who wear stars like this
know everything."
Wolf gazed at the policeman's star in
wonder.
"Do youkuow whether those are choc
olate drop trees V"
"Chocolate drop trees ? What's that ?"
"Why candy trees ; where the choco
late drops grow."
The big policeman laughed.
"Well, I shouldn't wonder. Here, Mike,
go out under the trees over there and
see if you can find any chocolate drops."
He tossed the other policeman a coin
and the latter sauntered oft' under the
trees. After awhile, as the other police
man talked to him, he lost sight of the
searcher after candy, but it was not long
till he returned, and, sure enough, he
had a bag full of chocolate drops.
"So you found them, Mike, did you?"
asked his companion.
"That's just what I did," returned the
other.
"Candy trees in Fairyland, Mike. Isn't
that right?"
"I don't know as to that, but here are
the trees and the candy, and I saw a
beautiful fairy while I was gone."
Then Wolf was certain he had found
the chocolate drop trees, and when the
policemen took him home he was chat
tering to them and munching chocolate
drops quite contentedly, and when the
household met him with such demonstra
tions of joy he was sure he had done
something very wonderful.

"Yesterday my family was very small," said
Nell,
"But today it's grown up big, an' I can hardly
tell,
Without I count 'em off by name, just bow many
I've got!
Mercy me! how many cares have fallen to my
lot.
"Here's Myrtle May an' Liz'beth Ann and little
Mercy Lee,
With all their clothes and baths and health to
look after by me.
I've got to spank 'em when they're bad an' love
'em when they're good;
I've got to take the same good care of each one
of the brood.
"They're all such brand new babies of course I
love 'em true!
But my favorite of the family is not among the
new.
No; it's this dear sweet honey I'm holding in' to
my breast
My year-old doll, all soiled and torned.thatl love
lots the best."
