LUCY REYNOLDS UNHAPPY DAY.

"LUCYI Lucyr' called Mrs. Rey-
nolds from the foot of the stairway
leading up to her daughters room.
"Weu, mother, what2' was the hur-
ried reply, somewhat sharply given,
as if Lucy was not quite willing to hear
what her mother had to say.
"Come down and find Bennie. My
hands are in the dough, and he has
been missing some time"
"Oh, can't, mother! It's almost
school-time, and I've ever SO much"
"Lucyr' Beside the reproof the
mothers tone of voice conveyed, Lucy
interpreted the command: "Obey this
instantr'
Twitching the ribbon from her hair
that she had been arranging In very
becoming bow, she tossed it on the
bed, with an impatient exclamation,
and went reluctantly down stairs. En-
tering the kitchen, where her mother
was at work, and where her brother
John sat crouching before the fire,
look?" she sullenly inquired, gazing
around the room with an Indifferent
air, that plainly said: 81 don't want
to look anywhere, and think it actual
abuse to be obliged to-"
"Look on the pantry shelf, sis, or in
the oven," remarked John, goOd-na-
turedly, who was just sick enough,
Lucy mentally reflected, to be excused
from doing anything himself, and not
well enough to be reproved for tanta-
izing others.
"Search where your good judgment
tells you you will be likely to find your
brother" Mrs. Reynolds replied, ig-
noring her daughters petulance and
Johns absurd suggestions. He may
be in the woodshed, or on the garret
stairs; but it is too cold for him in
either place, without his cloak and cap"
With frown settling on her pretty
features, Lucy hastened toward the
garret stairs. Every door she opened
received behind her a very spiteful
slam.
Bennie was not there. As Lucy
stretched her neck to- look the entire
length of the narrow passage, she
bumped her head against low rafter,
which sent the blood tingling th=a =
her veins.
