1. “See that old gentleman?’* said Jacko of the Jungle School. “See that old buffer bending down to tie up his bootlace?” “Yes. we set* him. What about him?’* chimed in Jumbo. Well, do you dare me to play al leap frog over his back?” “Haw! haw! I should like to see you try it!" laughed Jumbo. ‘‘So should I.” mused Billy Boar. Jacko a I wavs talks a lot. but he doesn’t do much. 1 notice.”

2. “Oh. I’m all talk, am I. Billy Boar?” grinned Jacko. “Wi 11, you just keep your eyes on me. Now for a run! One. two. three, four, and—over!” “Hee! hee!” sniggered the other boys, “he really means to do it.” Poor Jacko! It was not until he was half wav over that, he discovered his mistake.

.3. What bethought was an old gentleman turned out to be Mr. Rhino, tin* policeman! “Ha! ha! young man. I’ve caught, you this .time!” cried the constable, as he stood upright, and caught hold of Jacko by the legs*. “¥<ui thought 1 see .Y ou coming, eh? But I peeped between my legs, you see; and now I’m going to take you to the polFce station. - Of course Mr. Rhino was only having a joke with Jacko and when the young monkey promised, with tears in his eyes, never to play such a trick again, the kind policeman gave him a penny, and told him to run off home.
