"I think Master Neddie here would enjoy a look at the ostriches," remarked Herbert, with a smiling glance at the rosy, happy face of his little nephew, who was trudging along with his hand in that of his father. "Oh, yes!" cried the child in a tone of eager delight. "I should like to see them ever so much!"

"Papa," she said, "you know you bade each of us to have a verse to recite to you to-day. May I say mine now?" "Yes; we will begin with the youngest to-day," he replied. "But that's I, papa; your Neddie boy!" exclaimed the little fellow on his knee. "Why, yes, to be sure!

"This will never do," said the nurse, hastily, as she removed the tray and its contents, and reached the window just in time to save the wilful Neddie from a fall. "Do you know," she added, suddenly changing her tone, "what Nelly brought from market to-day? Apples! They are in the side-board down-stairs. And here are the keys. Who would like one?"

"Oh, there they come!" cried Neddie the next moment; "papa and mamma and all the rest," and he ran to the side of the vessel to give them a joyous greeting as they presently stepped upon the deck. In the afternoon the captain gathered his young people together for a Bible lesson, which all liked as he was sure to make it both interesting and instructive.

When the nine o'clock bell rang the visitors promptly rose to go, nor were they detained by any overwhelming entreaties to prolong their stay. "Of all the sticks," began Ned, when they were at a safe distance. "Hush, Neddie, Rosabel is being properly brought up," interrupted Mrs. White with more smiles than frowns. "Properly! Save the mark! And if I had been a girl would you have done that to me?

"All right!" laughed Johnnie, and off they started. On and over the fields and through the woods went the bunny uncle and Johnnie, until, just as they were close to the place where some extra early new kind of Spring hazel nuts grew on bushes, there was a noise behind a big black stump and suddenly out pounced a bear! "Oh, hello, Neddie Stubtail!" called Johnnie.

Lights and voices ashore indicated that some of our assailants had saved themselves, and by their cries and confused orders we knew that they in turn were rescuing others. Of their dead we had no record, but the number must have been large. Of us six who had defied Falk in that time long ago, which we had come to regard almost as ancient history, only Neddie Benson had fallen.

Let us have the reading or quoting of texts bearing upon the subject of godliness." Then, from their open Bibles they read in turn, the older people selecting for themselves, the younger searching out references given them by their leader. "Papa," asked Neddie, when there was a pause in the reading, "what is godliness? Does it mean the same as being a Christian?" "Yes, my son."

The old rabbit gentleman looked in one end of the hollow log, and there surely enough, he saw Wuzzo, the third lost kitten. And besides Wuzzo, Uncle Wiggily saw Neddie Stubtail, the little bear boy, who always slept in a hollow log all Winter. But this time Neddie was awake, for it was near Spring. "Wuzzo, Wuzzo! Is that you? What are you doing there?" asked Uncle Wiggily.

Some half of us were forward, half aft, so that we could not fire on the boarders without danger of hitting our own men. Davie Paine clubbed his musket and felled a strange white man, and Neddie Benson went down with a bullet through his thigh; then the pirates surged forward and almost around us.
