The Donkey Race.

Marjory and Baby Bunting were playing on the sands. "Let's make a sand castle, and put the Daisy DoH'on it, before go to the donkey ride," said Marjory. "Donkey first," said Baby" Bunting. "Donkey first. I want to race." \ '"Oh, very well," said Marjory. "It is your day to choose, so I suppose we must. But Daisy Doll will feel lonely, and you can't race. >The boy must lead you." Marjory called the donkey boy. His name was Dick. '' Good morning !.'' said Dick, "I've brought the donkey Neddy Brown, because you'like him so." "He is a dear," said Marjory, and she helped Baby Bunting into the saddle, Now Neddy looked down, and he saw Daisy Doll upon the sand. Whether he thought she looked lonely, or whether he thought her bright dress was something good to eat, I do not know; blit he tried to grab Daisy in his mouth, and he turned round so suddenly that Dick lost his hold on the bridge, and Marjory fell down <m the sands. Off went Neddy Brown with Baby Bunting, and Dick running after. Very soon Dick caught Neddy Brown.

"JVEy word!" said Dick; "\'ou nearly killed poor Daisy Doll," said Marjory, running up. They went back slowly, •* and Dick brought, another donkey for Marjory, and they went for a long ride beside the sea.
