and the nursery was in the fourth story of
the lofty building. One dav our mother
came into the room and to her horror saw
little Laura rolling about Oh the broad win

few inches space between her and the

The nurse was-I know not where. anv-
where save where she ought to have been.
Our mother stepped quickly and quietly
back out OF sight, and called gently:
Laura, come here, dearl Come to mel |
have something to show YOU" A moments
agonlZed pause-and then she heard the
little feet patter on the floor, and in another
instant held the child clasped in her arms.
III she had screamed, or rushed forward, the
child would have started, and probably
would have fallen and been dashed 10 pieces.
