We go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret; and we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late. THE JACK AND JILL While Jack and Jill were wait- ing at the garden gate for Nurse to take them for a walk, who should come by but Robin. "Come along!" Robin called out. "I'm going to the farm to see the new chickens--they'e little speckly ones." "Oh!" cried the Tw!ns. "We' love to. Do wait for us. IVe'll ask Nurse if we may go that way for our walk." Robin laughed. "Can't you go without your nurse?" he said. wWhat babies you are!""We'e not!" cried Jill, indig- nantly. But Jack couldn't bear to be called a baby, so he pulled open the gate and ran through. And Jill ran after him. "I always go out alone," said Robin. as the others caught him up. He vvas a year older than the Twins and much stronger and bigger. He was quite a hero to little Jack. It was very jolly that morning as they ran along in the warm sun, trundling their hoops and laughing. "Let's have a race with our hoops," said Robin, "and see vrho gets to the farm first," and he . Rave his hoop a big hard knock and raced after it. When the Twins got up to him he was standing in front of a low fence which ran right round tile farmer's garden. "'IVhat's the matter?" cried the Twins."I'e lost my hoop," said Robin "It vvent through the gate." "Well& why don't you go in and fetch it?" asked JilL And then she stopped and said "Oh!" She had caught sight of a big buH-dog which stood in the mid- dle of the path which led to the house. The hoop was lying be- side him; it had rolled in a long way and turned over. Jack went up to the gate and loo!&ed over it. It was a big, ugly-looking dog. He did wish he was big and brave enough, like Robin, not to be afraid. So he just looked at Robin and smiled. But Robin wasn't smiling. He looked quite strange. Jill was looking at him too. wkVhy don't you go and fetch it?" she asked again. "No fear," said Robin; "not while that great brute is there. He's big enough to tear you to pieces." And all at once Jack knew that Robin was afraid. It vvas a tenible thought for Jack--Robin, brave Robin, afraid of a dog! He could hardly be- lieve it. But Jill could. "If Robin's afraid," she said scornfully, "I'l go and fetch his hoop," and she pushed open the gate and ran in. oNo, I'l go!" cried Jack, run- ning after her. Robin stood still an&i watched them. It was a fierce-looking dog. The Twins stopped when they had gone a little way up the path and took hold of hands. Then tbev went on together, boldly, right up to the bulldog, and, without taking their eyes off him they bent down and picked up the hoop. "Hi!" caled a voice. "What are you young rascals doing in my garden?" It was a loud voice but a very kind one; and it belonged to a big man who came strolling up to the Twins an&I put a hand on a shoulder of each of them. "We--we only came to pick up --our hoop," they said. The big man smiled. obVeil, that was very brave of you," he sai&l, "with that big dog about. But he wouldn't hurt you; he's as gentle as a Iamb. Pat him and see." The Twins felt braver than ever; and when they had made friends with the very nice old bulldog, the big man said: "Now come and I'l show you my new chickens." But he didn't take any notice of Robin; he just shut the gate with a loud click and carried the Twins oif to the hen-run. CHH,DREN'S STORY hlay 14th. 1926. IGE Patrnnlae the Local Firm.
