RECREATIONS

It is a mistake to think that cats are playful. I often try to
get a cat to play with me, and she never seems to care about the
game, no matter how little it hurts.--H. O.

Making pots and pans with clay is fun, but do not tell the
grown-ups. It is better to surprise them; and then you must say
at once how easily it washes off--much easier than ink.--DICKY.

SAM REDFERN, OR THE BUSH RANGER'S BURIAL

By Dicky

'Well, Annie, I have bad news for you,' said Mr Ridgway, as he entered
the comfortable dining-room of his cabin in the Bush. 'Sam Redfern the
Bushranger is about this part of the Bush just now. I hope he will not
attack us with his gang.'

'I hope not,' responded Annie, a gentle maiden of some sixteen summers.

Just then came a knock at the door of the hut, and a gruff voice asked
them to open the door.

'It is Sam Redfern the Bushranger, father,' said the girl.
