JOLLY GAMES.

Acting Rhymes.

A word is chosen by the com- pany which is likely to have a good many other words rhyming with it.

The first player then begins by silently acting some word that will rhyme with the one chosen; as for instance, should the select- ed word be flow, the first player might imitate an archer, and pre- tend to be shooting with bow and, urrow, thus representing the word "bow," or he might, with an imaginary scythe cut the grass, "mow," or pretend to be in a boat on the water, and make use of imaginary cars, "row."

As each word is acted it should ho guessed by the spectators be- fore the next one is attempted.

Her father supplied all the post- horses at that particular post and he had amassed a good sum of money. Unfortunately, this bo came known to a certain highway- man who frequented that part of the road, and he made a vow that the postmaster's savings should find their way into his pocket.

He chose an evening when no postboys were likely to arrive. and, finding Bess alone in the house he thought it simpler to kidnap her and demand her father's money as ransom, ryther than wait for the old man to dig ip-his iron chest from under the apple tree, or wherever he might keep his gold, and risk a atray posthoy riding in with important letters and spoiling his little plan.

Bess séreamed. but the high- way man held her before him on his line horse, and off they went. "Haste, post, haste" seraumed Ress, using the old phase written on letters which were to be de livered as quickly as possible, for in the distance she heard the clat, ter of hoofs and knew it was the Edinburgh post galloping in.

The boy was tired, for he had travelled two days and was a haste post, but, stopping only to change his horun, he gave chase. When almost overtaken, the high- wayman at Bess slip to the

ground, and there the postboy

found her.

"I knew I could trust the post from Scotland, whispered Bess. "Aye, you can," he smiled, "though the letters will be late in London to-morrow, Bess."

All people were allowed to nobody was allowed to pick more Some took the most than one. beautiful, some the ugliest, but none had the good fortune to pluck the Magic Rose.

At last the fame of the rose reached the cars of a very clever young prince. There were no roses in the world except in this particular garden, so he deter- mined not only in see what u rose looked like, but also to take the Magic one for himself.

"It is easy," he thought. "All I have to do is to go at night and pick one rose after another till I come to the Magie one. It may be the very last I touch, but I shall certainly find it."

So he set off with one little Page. At night he reached the garden, climbed the wall and dropped down among the roses while the little Page kept watch. Quickly the clever young prince santched the blossoms from the hushest wishing every time..

After a tinie; the little lage elimbed the wall to ask how, he was getting on.

"They smell very niec," whis- pered the boy, and, stretching out¦ his hand, he picked a rose in the dark. "I wish there were roses all over the world,” he murmur- ed wistfully.

j

No sooner were the words spoken than there were roses all over the world! He had picked the Magic Rose without knowing what he had done.

"Absolute waste of a good wish!" cried the angry Prince..

"I-I might have done worse,' stammered the little Page.

He might!

We'll have a little change now... The picture at the side of the puzzle this week represents an old-fashioned piece of furniture. If you take the letter and add to it the letters which spell the names of the two objects, you will quickly discover what the piece of furniture is called, the name being hidden in the puzzle of course.
