giug PHI away, though he resisted 40
every step, f0r she knew that Ihey ought
not % stay longer without permission.
An that evening be talked about those
cunning mice, aud when morning came

getting close 20 the cage, mis- heart IN

"What would YOU sell 'em for, Burtr
Nothing, - laughed the latter; ''they
cost me too much time and tTouble.n
1--WE got a silver quarter with hole
through it,n he ventured with keen
anxiety, for if this offer failed he felt
that he was bankrupt.
Burt laughed agaIn-so caTelessly.
"Ohl keep your quarter; | don't want
ItP' and Phil felt that his castle had in
deed tumbled about his ears.
After Burt had gone away he still
stood there gazing.
"Oh! if I only had 'emr' he sighed
longlugly.
Nobody was near, and he gently lift.
ed the cage, looked all aroand, then set
II down again.
II can lift it, he said. 81 could carry
it awayl"
He lifted 1t again, and took a step
forNyard-then another, his childish face
showing clearly the fight going on
within the little soul; and thus, step by
step, ne carried it home.
1--we got a present" !" he said, enter
ing the sitting-TOOm with nervous
air.
''Micel' cried his mother, while
Rosie exclaimed, Ibid Burt really give
them TO you? 1 wouldn't have thought
it. But you can never take care of
them"
u can too, Rosie Latta," and Phil
began at once to expatlate on their
beauties till be grew almost happy.

and IL was well for both mice and little
man now that the latter's plans failed
as they did.
There was a loud, startling ring at
the door, and Burt came raging in, very
warm and flushed, and telling his story !
all in a breath. 1t was a straight story,
though, and only needed one glance at
Phil TO convince his mother of its truth.
From the short, red socks curling down
from his round white legs, to the long
brown lashes curling up from his whittier
cheeks, he was most abject little
figure.
If the mothers heart had not been so
sore with her darling's sin, she must
have laughed at that comically sad
little figure. As it was, she only SAID
two words: "Oh, Phil y and with one
cry he threw himself into her arms and
burst into a passion of tears and expla-
nations. At this Burt melted.
Don't cry, Phil, - he said, ''I'll get
yos some mOTe-indeed | will. Mice
are plenty"
sit amt that" sobbed Phil, 'I-I
don't - want - 'em. It's-oh, dear!
dearl It's bein' thief"
But this is the last time, Phil, my
boy, isn't itPr questioned mother, and
from the shelter of her loving arms
came a decided yes ma'am, the-very
last! Ii I'd only run home when the
thought of taking them first came into
my head, I'd have been all right"
