The Ladder of Lions.

The shadow that seemed to fall over ev-

dark enough to attract their attention and
excite their alarm They were not Yet
used to their surroundings, for, although a
great many things they saw and heard
were familiar to them, they could not Tor
get that they had come through the water
in the spring. They could not forget that

a grown person-nor could they forget that
they had never seen a rabbit so wonder

ready to take alarm at anything that might
happen Therefore they ran to the door
to see what the shadow meant. flhaiy
they looked up at the sky, or what seemed
to be the sky and there they saw cover

am sorry to tell you her knee has never
got well from that last fall; it is still
stiff and swollen, but she bears it so
cheeEfully that it teaches us all a lesson.
She says maybe God saw my feet would
lead me into bad ways and thought best
for me not to walk" She thanked me for
the large number of stamps my Sunday
school children had sent her She is still
selling them and staying at Hot Springs
She told me of some pets she had-some
little white mice; says they made a nest
and one Sunday morning she found ever
many little ones; they were white with
pink eyes, but had tails. She said she
guessed God made them on Saturday night
and did not have time before Sunday to
finish them up. Was that not a funny
thought? She sent her love to all the
young folks and seems so grateful to all
who have helped her. 1t is a pleasure to
do anything for this patient. sweet, Chris

putting it in splints, bat could not, and
the little thing suffered for a long time, but
/ took good care of it and it got well, but
has only one leg. 1t was a long time before
it get used to hopping about on one leg,
but now it is as cheerful and happy as can
be, and now while am writing to you 1t
is singing just loud as possible, while
the other bird Chat is weld sits by and
only now and then sends forth a note of
song. So [ call this cheerful, afflicted little
bird Edna, because it teaches the sweet

point, which gives them strip Of even
width that they wind into a ball and
keep through the winter until it is dry
