"But, Bah." cont nued Spry. "it really ls horrid; because a big* swarm of wild bees have built a. hive ln the hedge, and we may be stung to death when they discover us!" In a moment Bab was greatly dis- turbed. But, as he was s very wise little elf, hs soon set about finding ii plan to protect himself from the ln- vliders. He did not want to abandon his little reed bungalow under the wild carrot. "Never tsar Spry." said he; "although these noisy intruders are raany and fear- some, they will net mnleat us if I can visit her mqesty, the Queen Bee, who rules over the hordes.

Evelyn was saying. “Well, Bobby Myers says the show is even better than tlieyparads, and my brother Roy tells.l_as that thers's everything tliat'il ea the postera` Daddy was going to take nie this afternoon, but he eouidl\'t, so I want you to use this tlc~kst."‘ llarjory was tempted. Sho dliln't have the chance to go to the circus everyday. Sbs could go readily, toil. were -it not that mother was away and she must take care of Baby Ellen. "Wl\at~eall 1 do with the baby?" asked* Harjdry. hesitatlIngly_ Hvelyn's toe beat an impatient tat- too on the floor. "It you can't leave her here alone. suppose you wheel hel- out in the izoacli. Perhaps we'll nei- loms of the girls, who won't iiilnil tending her for a little while." “'l‘liat‘s just what l’ll do!" exclaim- ed Ma.r_iury_ “I often take baby out for an airing, you know." Sn the two sallied forth in the ili- rectlon of the circus. But. look ever so closely. lielthsr could see any friend who lnlght be w-lilllig to illi- dertake thu care of Baby Ellen. Fi- nally they reached the entrance to the tents. “What shall we do?" cried Marjory. in _ vexatlon. "VVe’ve got tn decide in a hurry." was the reply`of her friend. Evelyn east a hurried glance about her. then she lnotloni-rd toward an open space between two of the tents. “If I were you, I'd wheel the couch in there. No one will notli-e it-alid. besides. who wants a l»ah_~".’ When we come out we'll find Ellen safe and sound." Miirjory quivkly made up her mind to follow this suggestion. Close to- gether were the tents. so that there was barely space for the roach be- tween the two rows of pegs. Baby Ellen seeiiied happy enough to ilnd her coach in this strange place. where it was invisible from the eyes of all but the moat curious. Giving the baby a final kiss. Mar- jol-y and Evelyn hastily ran toward the entrance of the circus, presented tlieli' tickets, and elhinved their way through the crowd to the lllgh tiers of seats. FORGOT ABOUT ELLEN " Once or twice during the perform- aliire Marjory thought of tha baby, and was somewhat worried about posslhli» harln that liilght befall Ellen. liut these thoughts soon vanished. and as the slinw progressed frolii t_lio "grand particle" to the charlot races, the feats oi' ncrohats and trnpeze per- nirniers. llie wonderful tricks of train- erl elephants and ponies and dogs-. the funny pranks of the clowns. un' to 'tho lady who rode down a steep ili- vline in an automobile wliirli turned ll soliiersnult. Marjory entirely forgot Elleli_ ' 'Phan there was the wonderful'mc- nagerie to view. The twa little girls spent ii great deal or time in this tent, so that when they illlally made their exit the afternoon was near its close, "l hope the 'baby is lill rlght." ahx~ V a,_v-__ ._ ,,..,.,__.,_,_,_,_ m iously murmured liarjory. as sbs re- membered the baby. ' _ - "Of cdurse shQ’ll be all right," Ln. slated the Ether; and then 'sho' cried: “Why. I see the coach liow';' nobody has disturbed it." Marjory was greatly relieved. for she was beginning to* question whether she had done right in leaving Ellen ln such a fashion. She ran to the coach, and then-- ~ "Evetynl Evelyn!" she screamed; “the baby is gone!" ' Almost beside herself with terror. Marjory rushed toward a big. friendly looking policeman standing near the eriirance. To him she explained her trouble. "\\'v.-ill well! `i'll see what I can do. The toddler couldn‘t have strayed very fur," said he t-omfortlngly. Just then there came si volume of shouts from the menogerle inside. The policeman quickly pushed his way tliroilgli the mass or people. Once in- side the nienagerle tent, a curious sight was presented. Perched upon the hack of Rajah. the biggest elephant in the circus. was a little baby girl. look» ing this picture of contentment. lt was Ellen. ns you will have guessed. You see, the elephant had reached his trunk through the open llap of the tent, upon the other side of which stood the colicil. iinil had gently lifted the baby through the opening und then up to his back. Marjory and Evelyn were glad, ln- deetl. to learn that the baby was found. Rajah seemed quite sorry to give up the baby he had borrowed. while Ellen cried lilstily when taken away from her, huge friend.
