"Well, what do you want me to talk about t" Inquired Toodles, brusquely. Dorothy Jumped; "Oh! so you can talk, can you? Thats funny. I only wanted to ask why they speak of you as a guinea pig." "Why do they speak of a dollar bill "Why, why because It Is a bill worth a dollar, I suppose. "Well, proudly, "I am a pig worth guinea. Does that satisfy you?"

I beg your pardon," said Dorothy. "But, you see, I was afraid that you would get to going and couldnt stop, the way I do when I try to say: Pretty Peter, pretty, pretty, pretty, there! Thats the first time that I ever got to the Peter the prettys' always keep on coming whether I want em to or not. Just try It yourself." "Well, do you want to hear my story, or dont you?" inquired the guinea pig, with some impatience. "Oh, yes; plesne" humbly "I forgot what we were talking about" Well, as I was "Complimentary! saying, the story has come down through many generations. Years and years ago pigs all kinds of pigs had curly tails." "AH but guinea pigs, corrected Dorothy. "I said all kinds of pigs," reiterated Toodlea, "and I am telling this story. If you please. Guinea pigs possessed especially beautiful tails longer and more artistically curled than those of any other beastle. Now dogs in those days had straight tails." "Pugs and all?" queried Dorothy, meekly. "Yes, pugs and all theirs were the stratghtest of any and one day the king of the guinea pigs met the king of the pugs, and each immediately fell In love with the others tall and forthwith was displeased with his own." "How foolish!" exclaimed Dorothy. "Very foolish, very foolish. Indeed, and only yesterday I saw a little girl having her hair combed, and because it snarled she cried and aald that she wished her hair was straight and smooth like Louise Conways, next door. "Yes," admitted Dorothy, reluctantly; but it did pull dreadfully." "And last night I heard Louise crying because she had to have her hair at bedtime, done up on and wishing that she had natural curls like neighbor Dorothy. "She says It hurts to sleep on them," said Dorothy, apologetically. "Oh, yes; there Is always some excuse when folks are dissatisfied with the way the Lord made them, and they always want to show how much better they could da Well, to continue my story the king of the guinea pigs and the king of the pugs resolved to exchange tails for all time, and called together many friends to witness the agreement. "Now, when the exchange had been made and the two kings were strutting about In their new finery, a wily snake happened along. He looked at the guinea pigs beautiful long tall enviously, then he went and whispered In his ear: 'You have your new tall on crooked, said ha Allow me to adjust It for you before any one notices. The guinea pig thanked him gratefully, but no sooner did the serpent get possession of the coveted tall than he gilded Into the brush and disappeared." Here the guinea pig sighed wearily. Dorothy waited patiently for some time, but as he did not proceed, and, In fact, seemed Instead to be upon the point of snoring, she Inquired timidly: Put (rjeli (mt law houseMistress (to Our bulldog has a frightfully maid) dusty coat!
