And, shutting the window yesolutely,
he turned back into the Lonely room.

Fred, glad to have some one to tall,

out.

lately.
Not going! Why?"
Because 1 was bad, and papa

"Whew!" Conner gave sympa-

been doing?"
"Oh, broke Nell's doll, and kicked
my shoe into the fire, and would not

the window sill and gazed down into

| Underneath boy, not much taller
than himself, was cleaning off the snow
working away vigorously, and stopping
every now and then to hold his ears

his feet by stamping up and down the

Fred watched him with interest. Aft
or awhile the boy looked up, and, see
ing the curly head in the window,
nodded and smiled, upon which Fred
| nodded and smiled back, and for the
moment quite forgot to be cross.
When the pavement was nearly clean
he slipped out of the nursery, ran down
the stairs and softly opened the big

"Good morning!" he said. Aren't you
very cold?"
Good morning!" responded the boy,

Conner laughed.

"But at that rate you will be at work

Master Fred! Master Fred!" called
a voice from the hall; and nurse, hur-
rying out, drew in her charge and shut
the door with bang. "Do you want to

the steps this freezing morning without
so much as cap on your head? If you
are not more care than a baby!"

Fred wriggled away from her and
scampered upstairs to avoid further
scolding.
ooh. dear!" he sighed. 81 hate this
old nursery, and it will be hours and
hours before afternoon comes. just
know 1 am not going to be good at all.
1 don't feel any goodness in mel"
And apparently he didn't. A restless
spirit of mischief seemed to have taken
possession of the child, and its twofold
result was to keep the nursery in hot
water all morning and himself at home
all afternoon.
'sHe is not often this naughty"
pleaded his mother, sorry for her little
boys disappointment. 'But the walk
ing was too bad for him to go out, and
there was nothing to occupy him in the
house."
"Wasn't there?" said his father, dry
ly. "Well, all 1 know is that he has
more toys and books now upstairs than
I ever saw when l was child; and, if
1 had ever ventured to be one-half as
troublesome and disobedient as he has
been this morning, would have found
myself in bed about three hours ago.
It's no use, Fred! A bargain is a bar
gain, and you have broken your half
of it. So don't cry like baby, but take
your punishment like little man."
Poor Fred! He was not baby, with
all his faults, and he stood quietly by
the window, choking back his rising
tears, as the sleigh drove gayly off with
his mother and Baby Nell tucked away
under the warm carriage robe, and an
empty place by his father where he
ought to have been. Even after it HAD
| disappeared, he stood gazing into the
streets, which were growing misty be-

forced it's way at last through the hang
ing clouds, the whole city lay covered
with smooth, white mantle. Two very
different little boys stood at the win
dows of two very different homes, and
looking out upon the snow with very
different feeling in their hearts.
Il tell you what, mother said Con-
nor Mcclure, 'here is stroke of luck!
No school to-day, and the snow at least
eight inches deep. How many quarters
do you suppose I'll make shoveling
pavements between this and dinner
time?"
"Indeed and it's the money that will
be welcome said his mother, looking
up from the stove, where their modest
breakfast was in preparation. But its
poor way to be spending your holiday,
Con-working harder than if you were
at school,
bah! that's nothing. Shoveling
snow is as good as play answered
Connor, who, to tell the truth, was not
very fond of his books. "Give me my
cup of coffee, mother, and I'm off. It's
rich we're going to be this day, and me
with a new wooden shovel that will
make the snow fly quicker than pow
der"
"Good-by, then, and good luck to
you," said his mother, as the little fig
ure trudged gayly off, with the new
shovel resting on one shoulder and his
broom on the other cts the jewel of
boy you are, anyway, and your faith
er's very self over again, more's my

And the widow turned back cheerful
ly to her own hard days work.
Dear mel" sighed Freddy Lester, as
he stood looking disconsolately out of
his nursery window. TOO much
snow to GO out, and nothing to do at
home. / don't see what's the use of
having a holiday if one can't have a lit
tie fun on it,"
"Why, Master Fred, am ashamed of
you!" said his nurse. Haven't you
toys, and books, and games, and dear
little sister to play with? And isn't
your father going to take you out
sleighing this very afternoon, if you are
a good boy?"
"But don't suppose I will be good, -
replied Fred, in an injured tone. "How
is a boy to be good when there is moth
