Then Nicolinl raised his voice and roared a
mighty roar
And sang unto that hairless dog as ne er he'd

HER NEW BROTHER.


This thing happened on Troost ave-
nue., out IN Kansas City, and it has
She merit of being true. Ii YOU have
never been to chat rising Young city
at the mouth Of the Kow YOU will have
to be told that TrooSt avenue is the
great residence street of the place.
Spacious mansions line its sides for
miles. In one of these houses a little
boy died not long ago, He was a
happy youngster about . years old.
With his 4yeay-old sister he PLAYED
about the nursery floor in the second
story, Sometimes the nurse would
hold him up 10 the window so he could
look across the street or watch the
cable-cars 60 by with the ringing Of
bells that SO pleased his child fancy.
But the nurse was careless one day.
She left the window mp, and the
draught that came through the room
was laden with the germs that the
doctors are telling us so much about.
The little boy was in bed with diph-
iberia the next morning All of his
toys were piled on the bed the big,
soft rubber doh that he liked so we'll
was put close to him. He squeezed il
10 his side with one chubby little hand
for n moment, but the arm relaxed
and dropped the plaything Ilo took
no more interest. He grew worse in
a day. The doctors could not do much
with an unreasoniug little chap like
that. And so he died.
Every parent can imagine the gloom
that hung over that Truust avenue
mansion while a bit of white ribbon
lluttered in the wind from a white
rosette pinned to the plate on the front
door. The little sister had been taken
away when the disease first broke out,
so that at least one of those household
treasures might be preserved But
the funeral was over very soon--so lit
tie and uuimportant was that wee
dead body in the nursery and the big
house was gloomy IN its stiffness. The
father and mother wanted the little
girl hurried back, but she was kept
away until all danger was passed.
"Where is baby?" she asked when
she was brought into the home
The mother tried TO smile, "Ho has
gone away for a long time,' she said.
You must get along without him un-
til he comes back from heaven"
That night the little girl cried for
her brother, but the nurse she was a
new one, who would not be careless
about draughts told her that he had
gone for a long visit.
The next day the little girl was al
lowed to 90 to the window of the nurs-
cry and put her rose against the glass
while she watched the cars 90 by. She
stood there for long time; then she
cried out, suddenly: There's brotherl
Look nurse it's baby"
The new nurse looked across the
street, whore i pretty, young mother
stood ut n window with a baby in her
arms. The mother waved her hand at
the little girl. Pretty soon the baby's
wee eyes saw, ard he waved too.
Tel mammal" cried the little girl,
and the nurse, who was a sympathetic
creature, ran downstairs for the
mother.
Look" cried the little girl as she
waved her hand at the baby across the
street, THAT is heaven, mamma, for
there is baby"
But the mothers eyes could not see
across the street
