"Auniy! did you hear me p
Patience is one of your strongest wea-
pons, Jenny; and you must never forget
that all you do and say is seen and heard,
even if Aunty doscn't happen to over
hear"
"You can bring the baby up stairs"
called Mrs. flaming.
"l'll look out for him. said Aunt Mil.
ly.
"Jennv, do YOU hear me bring that
child up here" was the only acknowl-
cdgmrnt Of the kind offer.
Jenny rolled the ia. little figure into
her arms, aud went up the back siairs.
"You pa him down with some pillows
round him, aud help me fill these cases"
Jenny oleycd, aud the two worked
on Tor haitian hour, while the baby play
ed with bunch Of keys, and tumbled
over his pillows, showing his dimpled
legs TO the best advantage.
"Tlere's your father, already" said
Mrs. Tanning at last, stopping to look
ont oi the window with handful OF
feathers in. her hand. am 90 down now
and you can keep the baby here, he's 50
quiet. Put the rest Of the feathers in
that bolster case I'll come up and put
them away after supper"
"All right" said Jenny pleasantly.
"Now baby, we'll have good time
all by Ourselves :" and Jenny gave the
little fellow some peppermint lozenges
that she fi.hel out of her pocket.
Auat NIilly would laugh at my poclI-
ct. she thought. as she put back the con
tents, after getting the candy safely out.
It's as bad as d bays. Dear eAun'y, !
wonder if she really thinks | can learn 20
be good, or anywhere near good. I'm
sure I'll try, and Jenny began putting
the feathers into the ticking with great
| vignr The work was soon done, and
the baby being very busy in getting SUI
gar all over his chubby face, his sister
took up story book, and was presently
| deeply absorbed in the trials and trl-
umphs Of certain Jack Rover. The
room was perfectly still. The baby was
quieter than ever baby was before, and
Jenny sat by the window with her feet
tucked under her, intensely enjoying the
exciting adventures of the hero. She
had reached a mhoSt thrilling, scene when
her mothers voice broke upon her like a
thunder clap.
"Jenny Fanning."
Jenny jumped as as If the earth had
opened at her feet, for there was a tone
OF att"rance Of those words that meant
nothing good to the culprit. She looked
up bewildered, but she wasn't left lcng
in doubt as TO the trouble Baby had
crppt into the feather bed that his moth
er had left exposed upon the floor, and
there he was, with nothing visible but
his hea |. his face previously plastered
with moist sugar, was covered with feath-
ers, which he was trying to pull off with
the puggy fingers of one hand, while the
other TAT fist, he was vigorously rubbing
his eyes. Heaps Of feathers lay upon
the floor, and not a few had reached the
remotest corners of the room by the aid
of the wind. Anybody bnt Mrs. Fam
ming would have laughed at the sight,
and Jenny looked timidly up, hoping
that her mother would see how funny
it was. But there was no fun in scatter
ed feathers and sticky baby, to a tried
woman determined to see he dark siIe
"Yon'd read, Jenny Tanning, il

as vou can. l hope you'll keep out o
my sigh }" and she snatched up the ba

''Oh dear - said Jenny, and begar
