Kate, on the lookout, caught the express
son, and carried her friend OIL to tho
piano.
Was it a shaft at random sent that made
Dora sing Wrapping Old Stairs" instead
of the German SONGS she had spent sc
much time over?
Some little fairylke creatures know their
man by instinct, and suit their ammunlt on
to tie game.
Dick thought he had never heard any
thing so cnrancingly sweet when Dora
warbled-

his mother used to 10 it, knitting his
fathers socks in the bright freight while
he and his baby sister rompcd with the
kittens on that very hearth. He wondered
if ANYBODY would ever knit socks for him
there.
And did You spin the yarn"
lie looked so in hopes she would say
YES. Dora was really sorry she had not
She did not think fit to tell him that the
silk cost as much as six ordinary pairs,
and that the knitting had been her company

There was a broiled woodcocK for break
