Julia and Her Little Brother.

One cold day a'lady looked from a Win
dow down to the sidewalk, and she
saw there a little girl and a little boy.
The girl had albroken sled, and on the
sled there. was a board that ell off if
ANYBODY touched it, and woufdn't stay
on unless it was held. .5s 81 81 .3l5..I .
Well, the little g;rl held the board
just right. and made a quick ump and
got on it, SO that the board staid in
place; then she got off, and told the
boy to jump on. .
He jumped. The board tipped, and
the little 10y fell on the sidewalk. But
the little girl picked him up, and
brushed off the snow. Then the lady
at the window slid up the sash, and this
is what she heard the girl say:
..Try it again, 10! That was TOO bad.
Sister is sorry. She will hold the board
this time. = So the board was again put
on the broken sled, and held until 10
was safely on it. .33 Z.
..Now. sit still, 10, and I'll give you
a nice sled-ride,'' said the little girl.
And then she picked up the rope and
pulled Up flew JOS feet and he ell
over Backward; but he was not hurt
much, and alter another brushing, the
Girl said: Now, sit with your feet to
the back; you can tumble off that way"
| But he did. Only that time he fellon
his face. Next he sat sidewise, with
his feet hanging over part of a runner.
In this way he went safely as far as
across little room, but then board and
boy once more upset.
The good sister tried dozen times to
give 10 ride, but every time the old,
broken sled threw him of. Still the lit
tie girl was patient and kind, and spoke
gently, and took good care of her little
brother. And that was better for b 9th
OF them that day than a fine sled-ridc
would have been. Fer when they went
away the lady opened the window wide,
and sent a big boy to follow them, and
| told him to come back and tell her the
house they lived in.
And then, the same day, she went
out and bought a strong and pretty
sled. It's name was Golden Arrow
| Then she went herself to the house
where the little girl lived, and asked
for the little girl who had been trying
to give her little brother "a sleigh-ride
