CRE acibinsona lived in a pretty
little hozn in a row. They
lived very comfortably 'without
rasa and feathers, or anything
startling happening to them, until—
• One dark night Sally Robinson
got half -awake and restless. She
said afterwards that she heard a
noise, but she thought It was the
wind.
In the morning Father Robinsdit
got up and began to dress as usual.
When he reached for his trousers,
which for years he had hung over
the back of the same chair, the
trousers were not there.
"Well, well," he • said to. himself,
"I must be getting absent-minded."
Then lee began hunting for his
trousers, but they could not be
found. '
"I'll wear my brown pair, he
said, "but what worries me is that
my money and keys 'are in the
pocket."
"Oh, they'll turn up," •said
Mother Robinson. "They couldn't
walk themselves away. YoU've laid
them down somewhere."
• "I always undress right here,"
growled Esther Robinson. "1 al-
ways put my pants overe the bank
of this chair."
• Sally had run downstairs to let
In old Tabby who was meowing at
the door. Right away she saw a
familiar object hanging on the back
ofthe kitchen chair.
"Why, here are Daddy's trous-
ers!" she exclaimed jeyfully, • and
picked hp the trousers.
Upstairs she trotted and Father
Robinson was mighty glad to see
the garment. Sally's cat Was still
meowing at the door, so the little
girl ran down and let the, creature

her tall held up like a fiag and her
whiskers twitching '•evith joy, an'
angry'voice resounded through the
house. '
"My keys are gone!" cried the
voice, and Father Robinson came
hurrying downstairs, saying over
again, ",My keys are quite gone."
• "And your money too?" asked
Mother Robinson, anxiously.
• "Of course," replied Father
RObinson., "I've been robbed,
that's plain. We've had a robber."
Then Sally remembered the noise
she had heard during the night.
MOther Robinson recalled heating
heavy breathing., and Tommy
Robinson thought he remembered
hearing a window openedand all,
Sorts of other strange little noises.
"Well," aid Father Robinson, "I
think it was very mean of you all
when you heard the robber, to
calmly let him take niy pants and
rob me!"
Mother Robinson opened her
buffet and found all her silver just
where it had always been. •
When they called ,up the police,
a. cop or two came and said it was;
an "amateur job." But after they
went away, Tommyr, looked very
wise and said he thought it was a
"profeesional, job," •
"Have it your own way," said
Father Robinson. "It make's no
difference to me whether 'it was a
real robber pr not: My money and
keys are gone, that's the point.
Everybody heard the rebber, but
nobody scared hem away."
"The mosquitoei were so bad
they kept me awake for ever so

"Oh, we'll, have your money by
that time," said Tommy. "T'm
going to spend the'day looking for
clues."
"So'rn L" promised Sally.
They studied the kitchen care-
fully,looking for clues, and then
they asked to see the trousers.
Sally turned them this way and
that, Terri:13y peered, througb the
reading -class at them, but it was
Betty, the neighbor's little girl who
sniffed and said: "Ther smell

"So they do!" agreed Sally.
"Smell them, Tom."
"It's gasolerie," said Tommy.
"No, stanething else," Seely re-

"I know!" Betty pried:. "It's

So when her mother called her

; Sometimes there was a penny left

e often had this for herself. Some-

1: 'Shopping for Mother" had des
lighthil possibilities. •
• So in just a few minutes, Dora
• was trotting down the street with
Toedies in tow, and a little basket
on her left arm in which to carry'

tehthe eggs safely. In the bottom oe

• .4,ti -i, iogurry, dear,' Dora's mother
• :had is4d, and Dora really meant
e• to go 0 ight to the grocery and
come back as quickly as possible:
But sometimes Dora forgot and be-
came interested in other things,
and then time passed .without her
having the least idea how many
minutes had, flown away,
There was a funny little old Man
at the corner with a monkey and
a hand -organ. The hand -organ
played high-pitched, and rather
wheezy music, but Dora liked the
Sound .01 it, and. the monkey was
amusing.
Then by the time she started on
again, (*Poodles had discovered. a
cat just inside a fence they were
pa,ssing, and was determined to get
that tat- He barked and barked,
and it took Dora several Minutes
to persuade him to come along.
She had to tug on the string, and
as the string wasn't very strong, it
broke and away went Toodles un-
der that fence and after the cat.
When his mistress had captured
hint again and tied a knot in the
string, the. idea of eggs and dake-
making was quite far away. •
When. Dora got to the grocery',
there were a lo e of people there
waiting to be served, and she had
to stand about until her tern'Came,
' Over in one corner was a counter
where a pink-cheeked, young girl
was selling ice cream cones. As
she scoope,d up the cool, delicious -
looking, yellow -tinted ice cream
and plumped it into the cones for
the customers, it fairly made DOra's
mouth water.
She kept on watching „and wish.
ing for one /or herself, and when
the young man clerk came up and
said, "What would you like, little
lady," Dora stood quite still for a
minute.
For the l'iee of her she coulan't
remember what her mother had
sent her foe, although she searched
about in her mind to try and re-
member. Perhttps the clerk wasn't
feeling very good-natured that day.
He might have had a toothache, or
perhaps his collar was too tight.
Anywayhis manner becanie quite
impatient, and he said a bit
sharply,
"Hurry hip, little girl, there are
