SILKY PRACTICES THE GOLDEN RULE.
"I'll die, I'll die, I'll surely die." this
was the cry of poor Silky, the monkey,
as he stood in the river washing his
eyes and' his nose. "Oh, I want to see
the King:. I want to see the King of
the forest."
He was feeling so badly that he didn't
know what to say first. But that Is the
way everyone feels who comes In con
tact with Major Pole Cat. If Silky
hadn't been so hasty in announcing:
himself he would not have been In the
river trying to wash off the poison acid
that Major threw on him. It was not
the fault of the Forest Major for he
was minding his own business. But
Silky thinking that it was Jack, the
Rabbit, .didn't stop to And out the truth
in the matter.
"Oh, the more I wash the worse I
smell," said Silky, and he began to cry.
"Where is the King of the forest?"
Poor Silky's eyes smarted and the
smell of that acid reminded him of the
first time he ever saw Major Pole Cat.
On the bank of the river sat Jack, the
Rabbit, laughing as hard as he could
laugh. "You wil say you can catch me
will you," then he laughed some more.
"I told you you cauldn't catch me."
Jack just laughed and shook his head
to see that silly monkey out in the river
trying to wash off the acid that Major
had sprinkled on him.
"Wait till I get hold of you. I'll fix
you for that," cried Silky.
"It isn't my fault that Major Pole Cat
gave you a taste of his poison fluid. I
told you that no creature in the forest

could catch me and you said you could
and you caught Major instead. You
have no reason to be angry with me
because you did not catch me."
"You had no business to run so fast
that I couldn't see you anyway."
"It was your business to run fast
enough to catch me so that I could not
get out of sight." Then Jack laughed
and laughed till his sides were sore, for
it was a funny thing to see that mon
key in the river upi to his knees blink
ing and then rubbing his eyes and
sneezing, trying to get away from that
terrible smell.
While Jack stood by watching he be
came so interested that he didn't notice
any other creature about. But there
was someone sneaking up on him and
was making ready to catch him. It
would have been better for him if he
had watched his own business a little
more than to laugh at the poor mon
key. "Smack," and it was all over.
"Wow. wee," and' Jack squealed as
loud as he eouid. It was Red Fox who
had pounced upon him unnoticed. He
held poor Jack tight.
Presently Silky saw what had hap
pened and went to the rescue. As he
ran he picked up a stick at the river's
edge and when he came in within reach
of Mr. Fox he beat him over the head
with that stick till he was glad to let
poor Mr. Rabbit go. This is the way
Silky paid Jack for laughing at him.
He saved the poor fellow's life.

MRS. RANDALL REPENTS
NedY on the other" hahd became more
and mere wretched as the days went
byt Watching him though she did with
a heart full Of sympathy, hid . mother
never once attempted te : pry into his
secret. That something had happened
between himself and Cherry she" was
convinced, but time would bring its irt:
evitable explanation.
He? feeling of guilt increased With the
days, and it was all she could do to
keep herself front Writing to Cherry
and explaining how she felt, and how
unhappy her absence was making Ned.
One night, while she Wad visiting
Miss Laura, she broke down and sobbed
like ft baby. That good friend's quick
sympathies Were aroused, and even as
she had comforted Cherry in her trou-1
bles, did she comfort this older and
equally tbrtured .Woman.
"Now, then, Sally, don't take on so.
Lord a'mlghty, you haven't done more
than the most mothers-in law do any
way. Look up here while I talk to you,"
and she .patted the weeping Mrs. Ran
dall's heaving back persuasively.
"I'm the unhappiest Woman alive,
Laura, that's sure. I wish to goodness
I'd never been born, so I do. Now I've
gone and spoiled ray own boy's life.
I'll never have another moment's peace,
never." Here the sobs broke out afresh.
Miss Laura managed to soothe her,
finally, and when she was in a more
reasonable state of mind she pointed
out that all was not yet lost for either
Ned or Cherry.
"They're a couple of proud, angry
babies) that's all: Wait and see if they'? e
hot tegethef 'fore Christmas, Sally: I
think I knoW . something about human
nature; Arid that's what I pf ediet, so
cheef lib: in fact I'm going to help this
come true: It's high time sdme outsider
did step Irt even if it's nd one's business
but theirs: Now I call it a. question of
common seiifee: I have that."
"I hope so, how I hope so' said Mrs.
Randall perking yp at the mere idea.
"And I'd give yotl all I possess, gladly,
Laura if yen cart help to , bring this
about."
"No Heed to do that, Sally. I'm Only
doing What i think is the right thing
to do in this case. I know how Cherry
feels, bless he? heart. You see she told
me about her affairs many a time."
"Did did she seem to--to hate hie,
Laura?" asked Mrs. Randall in trenv
bling tones.
"That child dosen't hate . anyone in
all the World. She was puzzled and hurt
sure enough, but that was all. I know
that towards the end she felt that Bhe
wasn't really wanted round the house.
That's what's keeping her away now, I
know."
"Dear, oh, dear, whatever can I do,
if that's the case?" wailed the unhappy
woman, as she listened to Miss Laura.
"Wouldn't it help if I was to sit down
and write to her and beg her pardon
and Just ask her to come home?"
"No, don't write a word, for things
will arrange themselves," answered
Miss Laura, knowingly.
