Two Pigs and a Party. Sally and May and the dolls were having a tea party under the apple tree. There was real tea in the pot, real sugar in the sugar dish,, wee slices of ham and thimble cookies. ; The dolls themselves were all well- j dressed and on their good behavior. They sat up very straight and did not wink an eyelash. May was pouring tea into the tiny cups, and Sally had just asked the rubber boy doll, Alexander, if he would have butter, when a queer, grunting, scraping sound was heard over at the side gate. "Whatever is that ?" cried Sally, dropping a. piece of butter into the blonde doll's silk lap. The two girls lived in. the city and j did not know much yet about the coun-1 i try soùnds on Uncle Richard's farm. • May put down the teapot with* a thump and craned her neck round. "Oh," she said in a scared voice, "it's pigs ! They're pushing under the gate." Sally began to tremble. "We must run !" she whispered shakily. j "What, and leave the children?", May answered, looking shocked. "What would become of them ?" They glancèd quickly at the six dolls. All of them were very quiet, but the eyes of Alexander, the rubber -doll, seemed to bulge from his face. The grunts grew nearer now, and, looking round, they saw that the pigs has squeezed under the gate and were making straight for the tea party. Sally and May were very, very frightened frightened ; there was no telling, they thought, what these noisy, bristly animals animals might do. And there was no time to be lost. Sally looked about her wildly. The limbs of the apple tree grew close to the ground, and she made tip her mind in a flash. "The tree.!" she gasped. "We must climb !" Without another word they were out of their chairs and scooping up the dolls--an armful for each, and one arm left to climb with. Then up the tree they scrambled. They were just in time, for Sally's slipper . almost brushed a bristly ear as she left the ground, ç. Their teeth chattered as they settled settled themselves and peered down at their enemies. The pigs had really come after apples, but they were not at all displeased to find the tea party. They grunted and sniffed about, pushing pushing their wet black noses among the dainty dishes. May and Sally groaned together. "There go all the little biscuits," May said. "I Hope that blackest one will burn his nose when he turns over the teapot," teapot," whispered Sally. "Oh," see him gobbling cakes !" But the pigs w r ere so funny that the girls could not keep from laughing a little, until suddenly May gave. a scream. "Sally Anderson," she cried, "what a dreadful thing you've gone and done ! Alexander was sitting j right next to you, and you didn't pick him up !" Sally gazed down in horror. There, sure enough, lay Alexander on hls'j back, his eyes bigger than ever. She] felt that he was staring straight at her. "I mus-t have dropped him when we ; jumped up," she said miserably. "May, do you s'pose for one minute that ; pigs eat rubber ?" May said that she supposed pigs ate everything. She was cross - with Sally for her carelessness. . By this time the pigs had finished j every crumb of the party feast and ! turned over the table. Then they began began to nose about for apples ; perhaps perhaps they would soon go off. The two girls felt better and began to talk more freely. But presently, above the grunting, rose a sharp sound--the rubber doll, ; squeaking. ! "He's got Alexander ! " May cried. "O Sally, he's got Alexander ! " It was true. The small black pig ! had the doll in his mouth, shaking j him ; and as May spoke Alexander squeaked sharply again. Sally's face was very white. Slid leaned over and crowded the dolls into into her sister's lap. "What are you going to do ?" May asked, wondering. But Sally was already slipping down through the branches. She landed on the ground below so suddenly suddenly that both pigs jumped, and the rubber doll squeaked again. "Put him down ! " she cried loudly, stamping her foot. But they only looked at her out of their little beady eyes. The doll's head and shoulders stuck out of the black pig's mouth, and Sally could stand it no longer. Without another word she stooped and picked up a long stick. Whack ! and whack ! again 1 --she had shut her eyes tight and rapped the black pig sharply across the nose. A third time she hit. Mm, and suddenly, with a squeal and an angry grunt, he was off, followed by Ms brother. She heard their feet running before she opened her eyes. Alexander lay on the ground beside her, and she picked him up tenderly. He was not hurt, only a few dints id Ms rubber stomach showed where the wicked little teeth had pinched Mm. May climbed slowly down, looking ashamed. "How brave you were 1 " she said, "No," Sally answered. "I left him down there, you know." CONTAINS NO ALUM But May still looked ashamed. "I'm sorry I scolded," she said. Then they picked up the dishes and had another tea party on the back porch. Alexander sat in the seat of honor, and the pigs stood by the side gate and looked at them hard and grunted, but they did not try to come nearer. "I don't believe," said Sally, "that he would have eaten Alexander, but I didn't want to take any risks, you know."--Youth's Companion.

Upon it falls the bùrden of resisting the destructive influences of weather and changing seasons. Now, the question is "Where am I going to* find a roof which will meet these conditions?" Certainly not in wooden shingles which have rapidly deteriorated during the past few years. Not in anything so perishable as wood, nor yet iron, which lets in driving rain, but rather in a permanent mineral composition such as Brantford Roofing. Now, let us look at a section of Brantford Roofing. First, you notice it has a pure, long-fitired felt base. This is thordughly saturated with a filler coat of asphalt or mineral pitch. Then it is given another coat Finally, the surface is thickly covered with crushed slate.
