so much affected that she let her of at

bed, faithful little Clover running along
by her side in great distress, begging her %
stop crying, and trying 10 vain TO hold up
the fragments Of her dress, which was torn
in at least dozen places. Katy could not
stop crying, and it was fortunate that Aunt
lizzie happened to be out, and that the only
person who saw her in this pteous plight
was Mary, the nurse, who dotted on the
children, and was always ready to help
them out Of their troubles.
On this occasion she petted and cosseted
Katy exactly as If it had been johnny or
little Phil. She took her on her lap, bathed
the hot head, brushed the hair, put arnica
on the bruises, and produced clean frock
so that by tea time the poor child, except
for her rcd eyes looked ike herself again,
and Aunt lzzie didn't netice anything un-
usual.
For wonder Dr.. Carr was at homo
that evening. |, was always a great treat
to the children when this happened, and
Katy thought herself happy when, after the
little ones had gone to bed, she got papa 10
herself, and told him the whole story.
Papa" she said, sitting on his knee,
which, big girl as she was, she liked very
much TO do, what is the reason that
makes some days SO lucky and other days
so unlucky2 Now to-day began all wrong,
and everything that happened in it was
wrong and on other days | begin right,
and all goes right, straight through. If
Aunt Izzie hadn't kept me in the morn

then shouldn't bave been cross, and then
perhaps shouldn't have got into my other
scrapes."
But what made Aunt Izzy keep you,
Katy 2"
"To sew on the string of my bonnet,
papa"
But how did it happen that the string
was OFT"
Well" said Katy reluctantly, | am
afraid that was my fault, for it came off on
Tuesday, and | didn't fasteu it on"
80 you see we must 60 back of Aunt
lizzie for the beginning of this unlucky day
Of yours, chldie. Did you ever hear the
old saying about For want Of nail the
shoe was lost p"
No, nevcr-tell it to me !" cried Katy,
who loved stories as well as when she was
three years old So DR.. Carr repeated
" Fer the want Of q nail the shoe was lost,
For the want Of a shoe the horse was lost,
For the want Of q horse the rider was lost,
For the want OF tho rider the hsttle was lost,
for tho want Of the battle the kingdom was lost,
Aud all for want Of horseshoe nail"
"Oh papa I" exclaimed Katy, giving him
a great hug as she got Off his knee " see
what you mean Who would have thought
such a little speck Of a thing as not sewing
on my string could make difference? But
| don't believe shall get in any more
scrapes, for | shan't ever forget
"For the want Of a nail the shoe was lost"
