II IL o custom Of tho teacher Of this particy
ular infant class to give each OF her small
pupils card containing short text which
the child Ia expected to memorize during

ed each OF the children to be sure to keep
them carefully and return them the nexh

Martha Is not very careful little girl,
and though fully impressed with the duty
OF return ing the card she neglected to put

had reached homo she discovered that she
had lost IT, The thought worried her con-

into her head. and, strange TO relate u
staid there all the week. She said nothing
10 her mother about the lost card, and tho
next Sunday went of to Sunday school
happy as usual. The lost card was NOT

you one Of my own which papa gave me to
play with. 1t is much bigger and prettisr
