Little Luey's Big Heart.

Little Lucy's big brother Charles
promised to buy her some ice cream
every Saturday if she would keep her
hair nicely brushed during the week.
One day Lucy and her brother were
going to the place where the ice cream
was kept. Lucy was trotting along,
holding Charles hand. She heard a
strange noise in the street near them.
Looking she saw two little boys with
a little u dog. One boy had tied a
string to the poor little dog'stail,
and on the other end of the string
was a deserted oyster can.
ooh, brother!" said Lucy, ''see
what the wicked boys are doing!"
And then tears filed her eyes, be-
cause she felt sorry for the dog.
Then Charles asked the boys to let
the dog go. They would not do this,
but said they would sell him the dog
for twenty-five cents.
"1f we buy the dog,r Lucy, you can
have no ice cream, for I have only
twenty-five cents in my pocket,'' said
Charles.
Then Lucy was very sad, for she
loved ice cream dearly, but still she
knew it was her duty to prevent the
dog from suffering. So for a moment
she was silent, and then looking up
to her brother, she said, in her pretty
way: "You kick the ribs Of the boys,
dear brother, and I will hustle the
pup up the alley"
And so Lucy had her ice cream,
after all.
