But what splendid animals!" he exclaimed as they approached the corral. "Uncle Walter and I are very fond of them," she said, turning Boyar into the inclosure. "Do you know, Miss Lacharme, I like horses and dogs and cats, and I just revel in burros. But animals don't seem to like me. They're rather indifferent to me. I wonder if it is a matter of health, or magnetism, or something of that sort?"

"Far from rotten, my young friend, I can assure you!" Lavendar returned. "It will furnish coloured illustrations for countless summer numbers of the Graphic and The Lady's Pictorial, and fill Waller R.

What was that grisly figure that appeared amongst the dancers? a grinning skeleton a dancing Death.
The children are disciplined by freedom, as well as healthful restraint. In this sand-garden they are free. With their little wooden shovels and spoons, and with their hands, they revel in the sand, as all healthy children do. They were no more abashed by our presence than tamed and petted birdlings would be to feed from the hand of those they had learned to love and trust.
It interests us immensely, but we like to get away from it sometimes."
