Eleven o'clock strikes. Immediately
I make ready to set iny papers in order
on my desk and turn out ray lamp, when
all at once my In-d. on which I have
somehow turned a more contemplative
look than usual, begins to wear a strange,
mysterious air, meditative and thought
ful, with its coverlet turned down, its
sheets open and its pillow ready for tuy
head. Why do I sit down again and
think an luur?.arul still another hour?
My lamp goes out of its own accord, and
the night parses without heeding ine.
IS THE IJTTLK WHITE CKIB.
I am 3 years old again. I sleep in a
little white crib, larger tlian papa's
leather valise, smaller than mamma's
piano: a crib drajed with fresh curtains
which close alwut me every evening and
are fastened with a silver pin "to make
me a little room." When 1 raise my
head I see aljove me an ivory cross
swinging at the end of a blue ribbon that
hangs from the cornice: on each side of
me is a long white silk net. so that I
sludl ntt fall out. But I am always
kicking off the covers and slipping
through it and they continually find me
with an arm or a leg caught and hang
ing in the meshes.
My crib, which I warm with my little
Childish twdy. where I am given my
warm milk in the early morning, which
is so comfortable when the doctor says 1
am sick, stands at the foot of papa's and
mamma's big bed. so that it gives me
great confidence to Ikj so near them
they who are afraid of nothing! I do
not know how it is. but I must be always
asleep when they coaie in to go to bed
I never see them. Their lcdtime is later
than mine, much Liter jorhaps even an
hour. As soon as Pie. my nurse, a big
girl, brusque and goxl hearted, who
teaches me how to say my prayers to the
Bon Dieu in German as soon as she has
given mo my dinner, qui ;k! I am- popped
into a little bed whose end my feet never

"itrli i! ri to tllC!U.
' Tlen as 6oon as 1 am stretched out on
the mattress, and Pie has vigorously
tucked mo in. I cry out with all my
might, lamentably, like a little dog that
is being whipped: "Mamma! Mamma!"
Someone comes. There U a noise of
footsteps in the corridor. It is papa and
mamma. Papa says: "Will you stop
making such a noise you httlo rascal?
We can hear you all over the house!"' He
turns to the nurse and frowns:
'Pie, he say9, "tell me the trutli. Ilaa
this child been naughty?"
"Nein, he has been very gcot, says
the excellent P?e. n
- "Then he shall have a piece of candy.
THE
"mint, papa.
:nnr:" 1 cry out. -
'Yes, mint!" and paia himself dropj
into iny little moist, open mouth the big,
white crumbling jenny which I lovo so,
and which 1 bug in to taste as soon r.3 its
penetrating odor reaches my nose. Un
der my little teeth the mint drop disap
jiears like magic. Mamma whh-pers:
"Er.t it up, then, little goose!" or, "He
will break his teeth to pieces."
MAMMA DOESN'T SAY A WOIID.
Then she bends over me, and then I
whip out my two arms from the cover
let to clasp her around the neck. I
know very well that it must tire her to be
weighted down so, but still I like to do it.
And then I love her so! She ki.es me
twiee. three times then with her pretty
fingers 6he hurriedly traces the ugn of
the cross on my forehead (before I came
there were two little brothers who lxth j
went away to heaven) and she tenderly
clo:ies the curtains without ceasing to
look lovingly in at me through the open
ing which grows smaller smaller.
At last the curtains are tight shut and 1
can 6ce nothing more. But I can hear.
Papa has already gone away to study,
where I somehow know that he is going
to smoke a cigar. Mamma, ah, but
mamma is still there. She is talking to
Pie in a low voice she is talking of all
kinds of things and they are all about ,
me. Then the lamp goes on its nightly j
journey. It travels alout. it changes its
place; finally it is put on a certain corner
of the mantelpiece, always the same
corner, where its dim light cannot reach
me. Then I hear the noise of the fender
a chair put in it3 place a can iage in
the street then
All at once I am at last a mari. and am
wearing trousers like myJJncle Edward.
But often I awake with a start and
then a great fear of the night and the
darkness seizes me: I stretch out my
arms and knock toe. toe! on the big
bed. The big bed will protect mo. Tec,
toe! Toe. toe! The knocking itself
frightens me in the silence.
The big bed creaks confused!-. I hear
papa, half awake, telling me in a queer,
droll tone to be quiet. "Ssh! Wo are all
asleep," he says; "everybody is asleep."
Mamma does not say a word. She rises
she rises and ah! even after forty
years ciy heart recollects the light fall of
her dear soft feet on the carjot and the
so:'.nd of her low voice, invisible like
herself, murmuring close to lay cheek,
"What is it, darling?" while without
hesitation her kiss comes straight to me
in the night and unerringly finds mc. -Translated
