That's real true. My dada says So"
Jack ldidn'tEsay much, but he held
them very tight and carried Rex as well
as Babssin the gloomiest part of the
lane, where no one could see.
So it wasn't long before they came
to the house, where. everyone seemed
III trouble except Ttbby-cat, who was
doing unconcernedly inxfront of the
fire. Dada, who had just come home.
was starting out to look for them:
Sarah, the nurse, andaJane, the house
maid, having just returned from a vain
search. Cook was blinking over the
kitchen fire about "them children" till
she let things burn, and mamma was
sobbing ton the sofa in the drawing
room Because she was not we'll enough
to get up. Poor Auntie Jill was most
wretched of all, because she had cried
all her tears away in the afternoon
and had none left for the babies.
What shout of delight went up as
they came in through the open door!
Dada snatched up his boy and mamma
called eagerly for them from the draw
ing-room, so Jack. followed in with
Babs" half asleep'tin his arms. Dada
and mamma looked nowhere but at the
children, whilst Jack and Jill looked
everywhere but at each other. Then
Rex and Babs laughed and chartered
and began to explain matters. "We've
fetched Uncle Jack" said Rex, ii mat
ter-of-fact tone, "to see Auntie Jill.
And he's. going to take us fishing to-
morrow afternoon, if you'll let him.;
can he's ,goin' to be so welly. welly
good" asserted Babs, emphatically,
''zat Auntie. Jill won't be solly and envy,
not ever any more" 80
| Mamma looked astounded and Auntie
Jill found just one tear to come half
out of each eye--for it hadn't been all
Jacks fault, really, yon know. Jack
stepped little nearer to her and half
| held out one hand and half didn't.
''Don't be silly, children; you do not
understand said mamma, reproving-
ly. But dada smiled one of his quiet
smiles. as, taking one little one up on
each knee, he sat down on the sofa
beside mamma. II think they d." said
he. y.
Then Jack got very near Jill and took
hold of both her hands. my dear littles
JILL" said he, ra Their brokenly. And she
put her head on his shoulder and cried
and said-but really it isn't fair to tell
what she said. Anyhow it must have
been satisfactory to Rex and Babs. for
those young scamps laughed with glee
at the prospect of Unlimited fishing,
and ball, and swings, and pennies, now
that Observation-Disclosures
