s;
She sighed for his scalp--all she got was a kiss.

[Illustration: J]

_J is for John_

J is for John (No, he hasn't a Pain;
He is Red-Handed Jack of the Pirate Main).

[Illustration: K]

_K stands for a Kiss_

K stands for a Kiss? Oh, stern featured K!
Who would have suspected--_You'd_ leanings that way!
Peter called _his_ a Thimble--(_I_ think it sounds tame
To call Kisses Thimbles--but what's in a Name!)

[Illustration: L]

_L is the Lion_

L is the Lion who lashed his Fierce Tail,
And did Peter Tremble? did Peter turn Pale?
Not Much! 'Twas the Lion who moved to adjourn,
He couldn't turn Tail, Peter left none to Turn.

[Illustration: M]

_M is for Michael_

M is for Michael--ssssh!--whisper it low!
In Pirate Circles he's called Blackbeard Joe!

[Illustration: N]

_N is for Napoleon and Nana_

N is Napoleon--Mystic--Profound
And N is for Nana the Noble Nurse Hound--
Two wonderful natures--each great in his way,
One's dead and the other is "Having his Day."

[Illustration: O]

_O's for Odds-fish!!_

O's for Odds-fish--the Pirate's Oath.
To print such a word, Gentle Reader, I'm loth.
And should _You_ be guilty of language so low,
I should have to stop calling you "Gentle," you know.

[Illustration: P]

_P is for Peter_

P is for Peter, and so are we all,
May he ever keep young and his Shadow stay Small.
Yet I think 'tis a pity the White House is Bann'd.
As President, Peter would simply be Grand!

[Illustration: Q]

_Q is the Quiver_

Q is the Quiver from which Tootles drew
The Arrow that nearly pierced poor Wendy through.
'Twas Peter's _Kiss Button_ that stopped it--Ah me!
If Kisses _were_ Buttons--how _safe_ they would be!

[Illustration: R]

_R's for the Redskins_

R's for the Redskins, who Guarded the Cave.
What a Treat to see "Injuns" sit up and Behave!

[Illustration: S]

_S is the Shadow_

S is the Shadow--tho' not of much use,
You'd surely be Sorry if _Yours_ Should get loose.
So See to your Shadow--be sure it's on tight,
When Peter lost _his_ he was in a sad plight.

[Illustration: T]

_T is for Tinker Bell_

Poor Tinker Bell's dying, Quick! say you Believe
In Fairies, that Tinker New Life may receive.

[Illustration: U]

_U is the Underground Home_

U's the underground home mid the roots of the trees,
Where when not slaying Pirates, the boys take their e
