Mrs. Brown, as she stepped to the door,
worn and heated with her morning walk.

me" said kittie, impatiently, gathering up
her doll and box of dishes. There! |
hear Freddy screaming. | suppose she
wants me TO take care of him; | wish
was like you, and did not have any brothers
to be plagued with"
80 how dreadful TO wish your brother
was dead" cried Annie Norton
II did not say wished he was dead l
only said ~ wish | didn't have any,"
said Kitty, getting over The fence.
IF | had little brother, / am sure l
would rather play with him than do any
thing else" said Annie, thinking how she
wished her only brother who had died
when she was wee baby could have lived
till now For Annies mother often talked
with her about her brother in Heaven, and
told her Of the cunning things he used In
say and do
"You will have to take baby" said Mrs.
Brown, as Kittic came into the kitchen,
throwing her hat on the floor and her doll
on a chair, and muttering don't see why
