Tins Dove.
Ollr Iiffla Annn

One day, when little tim was picking
berries in field, he found a dove with
broken wing. He carried it home, and
bound TIE wing close to the dove's side
with a linen band. Soon the wing was
as well as ever, and the dove could fy
again; but it did not want to fly away
from Tim, for it had grown very tame
Tim was glad to have it stay, for he had
no toy or pets. When he went to pick
berries the dove would 60, too, perched
on lis ahoulder. Tim named it Fairy,
and taught it to come at his call and to
eat from his hand. At night the dove
would roost on the head of Tim'o bed.
Tins mother was taken very sick.
There was no one to nurse her but Tim:
and when she could not eat, and began
to grow worse, Tim went for doctor.
"She will get well if she has good food"
said the doctor. "She must have chicken
or meat BROTH" Tim had no money to
buy meat; but all at once he thought of
his dove. He knew it would make good
broth, but he could not bear to kill it.
He saw neighb0r going by the house
and he went out and PIT the dove in her
hands. "Please kill my dove and make
my mother some BROTH" he said; ssshe is
so sick"
men nS ran W bno mouse, dHO trle0
not to think of his poor little dove. He
did not want his mother to see him cry,
for she would have said the dove should
not be killed. In about an hour the
neighbor brought some good hot broth;
and when Tins mtoner ate it she said
she felt almost well again. "You shall
have some more tc morrow" said the
woman. II will make broth for you every
Gay until you are WELL" Tim followed
thu woman to ths door as she went out,
and said, so that his mother could not
hear, that he had no more doves, and did
not know how to get meat for broth.
Before the neig hbor could speak. there
was Tustle of wings, ard Fairy few in
and perched on Tins shoulder. sCoo!
coo!' she said, pecking at his cheek.
"You see l did not kill your dove" said
the woman. Il made the broth from
chicken, and l have plenty more at home.
You were a good boy to be willing to have
yonr yet dove killed to make broth for
your mother. How happy Tim was!
He loved mis- dove better than ever, now
that he had it back again. HE mother
did no. know until she was quite well
how she had come to eating poor little
