Nellie Roberts was sitting In the smalt
kitchen mending her ltltle brother's
wornout stockings.
"Nellie," said her mother, who was
In the bedroom, sick, "there Is one more
milk tloket in the cupboard. You had
better go over to Mrs. Batman's and get
some for supper."
"All right," answered Nellie, as she
went out the door with the tin bucket
swinging at her side. As aho went along
thinking of the poor circumstances they
were In, she spied something on the
ground. It was a purse. She picked
It up and opened It, There was a calling
card In It, addressed to Mrs. W. O. Bat
man, 1813 Van Dorn street, New York
city.
Nellie caught her breath as she counted
the money, J12.M was the sum. "Shall I
keep It?" she asked herself. "No, It
would be dishonest."
She soon reached Mrs. Batman's house.
She rang the bell. Mrs. Batman came to
the door and said, "Oood evening."
"Mrs. Batman have you tost anything?'
"Yes. a purse with $12.80 In It."
' "Well, here It Is. I found It two blocks
from here."
"And you were honest enough to return
It;"
"Yes," Nellie answered.
"You deserve half of it," said the lady,
''J8.0 In your aum."1
"Oh, you are bo kind," answered Nel
lie.
"You shall get all your milk free of
charge."
This was tho happiest moment of
Nellie's life, and she went home thinking
how happy her mother would be.

asleep, and It was not long before I waa
dreaming. I dreamt I waa a little, leaf
on the tree above me. I. dreamt that the
wind had told me to look sharp or he
would pick me and thrown me down on
the ground to die. Then I was fright
ened and told the twig on which I grew
and the twig told the branch and the
branch told the tree. Then the tree sent
tack word not to 'be afraid, but to hang
on tight and I should' not be picked oft
till I wanted to. One day I saw all the
leaflets putting on bright dresses of all
colors and then X commenced to want to
go wjth them. Bo I asked the treo It I
might go, and the tree said I could, and
all I had to do waa to want to .go and
I could go. , So I let go with all the other
eaves and I waa soon flying very mer
rily with the wind. ,Juat then my brother
came and I went home, but I came down
again and again, but I could never finish
my dream?

One day last week as I waa coming
home from school I seen a little bird
with a broken foot lying out In the mid
dle of the street 1 felt very sorry for
It. so I picked It up and carried it home.
When I got home I bandaged up Its
foot and then gave it something to eat
and drink. After It had eaten I put It
In a nice soft box. In three days Jt got
well, but I didn't want to l)t it 'free be
cause I thought that Its foot might be
gin to hurt again. So I took a large
hoe box and put the little bird In there
I covered It up with a piece of curtain.
fed it every day and every day It
grew stronger. Every morning It woke
ua up'wlth lta chirping, and it didn't only
sing In the morning, but a whole day, so
that It made our house quite cheerrui.
But a sad thing happened. Last Satur
day while we were all playing outdoors
one of our cats got Into the house and
tore the curtain from the box and ate up
the little bird. When I came Into the
house I didn't hear It chirping as usual
when -what waa my sorrow to see' the
torn box, and I knew that a cat had it.
Now there is no more cheerful singing,
but silence. I have lost a good little
friend.

Tabby laid her ears back, dropped her

The woodpecker crawled slowly up the

For. even after that, when Tabby waa
going along that path, the woodpeckex
would fly down from the tree and, peck
her on the back and fly up on the clothes

Tabby would lay her eara back, spit
and lie down on the ground.
