THE LITTLE MUSIC BOX

When Doris went to stay with Tom and little Mona she tdok her music box with her. She turned the handle and it. played a tune. One day they all went out to make daisy chains. Tom took Rags, his sheep dog, and a blue ball. Mona took her new doll^ 80-peep, and Doris took her little music box.

They picked daisies in the field and sat down in the corner by the little gs*e to make a daisy chain. The farmer's black and white cow was at the other end of the field eating grass. " Mona put 80-peep down to sleep, and Doris played a tune for 80-peep on the music box. Rags was very happy. Tom kept throwing his blue ball for him to catch. When the ball fell into the deep grass by the hedge Tom called, "Find it! Find "it!" and Rags looked for it till he found it.

They were all very happy and then —O, dear me! The farmer's cow be-

gan running after Rags. She did not like dogs. "We must go through the gate," said Tom. "Come along, Mona!" Tom picked up Bp-peep and took little Mona's hand, and they ran through the gate. Doris ran too, but she forgot her music box. They shut the little gate, so that Mrs. Cow could not come out. "Oh, my poor music box!" cried Doris. "The cow will walk on it." "Come here, Rags." said Tom, and he pointed through the gate. "Find it! Rags. Find it!" Obediently the dog ran into -the fields and soon came back dragging the music box between his teeth. So, thanks to Tom's training of Rags, Doris was happy once more. Found by— "LITTI^E PRINCESS." Wadestown. ■ i
