THE FOX AND THE COYOTE

NE evening the children were watching the full moon glide up into the sky and were discussing whether or not it was made of green cheese.

"The coyote once got into trouble by thinking that the moon was cheese," said Tecla, in her slow, round tones.

"How was that, Tecla?"

"Yes, Tecla, please tell us. Now is just the time for a story"; and Juanita buried her head in Tecla's lap.

"Well, you have been good children to-day, so I will tell it. Sit down on the floor, Nita. You are too big a girl to need holding."
