WANTED, A KITTEN.

Mary Ellen sat on the floor with her
head buried In her arms. Mother had
tried all day to comfort her and when
father came home at night and found
her in heap on the floor, still sobbing,
he at once decided that something
must be done.
Mary Ellen's pet and companion, a
little black kitten, had died the day
before and the little girl was in danger
Of making herself ill, grieving for
Flossy. g
Mrs. Stevenson, the next door neigh
Dor, had offered her a choice of fam
lily Of six little gray kittens and Robby
Cook had brought her little coal
black one, but Mary Ellen scorned to
let one of them take the place Of her
lost darling.
BY the next morning father had
grown desperate, for Mary Ellen had
eaten almost nothing the day before
and all night had moaned and sobbed
in her sleep for the lost pet. He
thought black kitten just like Flossy
might appeal to the little girl and in
the Courier this notice appeared:
"Wanted-A plump black kitten,
about two months old Call at -
The papers were put on the street
at o'clock and at 5 the kittens began
to arrive. BY 8 o'clock there were ten
cats and by noon the next day eight
more had been brought Although the
advertisement specified that they be
kittens two months old and plump and
all black, there were cats of all sizes
and degrees of slimness, and the own
ers seemed to think that a cat with
even a tiny spot of black might an
swer so there were some with coats
striped and spotted with yellow and
black as we'll as all yellow.
Fathers idea proved a good one, for
Mary Ellen almost forgot her grief and
chose a plump little black kitten as
nearly as possible like Flossy, but
everyone in the house said they hoped
she would never have another cat
shower.

A NOBLE DEED.

Once there lived in England a little
Sirl whose name Was Florence Night
insaie, She was kind to people and
beasts. There lived near the village
an old shepherd named Roger. who
nad 9 favorite sheep dog called Cap.
One day Florence was out riding with
ner friend when she saw Roger tend
ing his sheep But Cap was not with
nlm, and the sheep were running about
IN all directions. Florence and her
friend, Noticing the absence OF the dog.
stopped to ask the shepherd what had
become OF him. oh" he replied.
Cap will never be of any more use
to me. ! fear that he must be killed."
Killed" said Florence. "Oh, Roger,
how wicked you are to say 80! what
has poor old Cap done"
He has done nothing replied
Roger, but cruel boy threw q stone
ana broke one Of his legs and the
ola shepherd wiped away the tears
was az knowing as a human being"
Florence and her friend rode on to
the shepherds cottage. and went In
called him. Where are yo,i?" he be-
gan to ,wag his tail. She patted his
rough head and talked to him whils
her friend looked at the leg. It was
padiy swollen and 1t hurt him to be
said her friend. Il am 50 glad. said
Florence. But can we do nothing for
MIN! He seems to be suffering Ngreat
pain. "Pienty Of hot water to battle
his leg would both ease the pain ana
help to cure him quickly
Florence kindled a fire. heated some
water and began to battle the poor
dogs leg. 1t was not long before he
seemed to suffer less. and he tried to
show his thanks by his looks. On their
way back they met the old shepherd.
"Oh Roger!' said Florence, you
are not to lose poor old Cap. We have
learned that his leg is not broken after
ALL" ~
We'll am very glad to hear It,"
said the old man. Many thanks to
you Tor going to see him."
The next morning Florence was up,
early to battle Caps leg, and she found,
It much better. The following day
she bathed 1t once more, and In two
or three days the, old dog was able to
look after the mock again. This event
happened many years ago, and that
Iood-hearted little girl grew up to be
the kndest and noblest OF women. She
spent her days IN learning how to
nurse. the sick and how to manage
hospitals.

The fairy nodded

She had chosen the names of the
walters in the hotel because she could
mot think of any others.
The fairy took down the names and
vanished as suddenly as she had
come.
The next morning Rosie awoke
fresh and lively, and anxious to get
up.
No, no, wait until your sister JUL
cite has had her bath, said Anna, the
nurse. Then Rosie remembered what
she had wished the night before.
There were several cots around the
room and little girls in all of them.
. Rosie's turn to be bathed and dress
ed came soon, and she was nearly
ready when head was thrust in at
the door, and loud voice exclaimed:

Anna, and off she went, leaving Rosie,

BY the evening Rosie was thorough.

more in the drawing-room than in the
nursery, for her mother and the visit
ors were SO taken up with the other
children that they found no time to
pet her as formerly. She was no
longer amused by everyone, and she
could see that it was Imogene now

Very tired and sulky was she when
she went to bed that night, and more
discontinued than ever. although she
had been wishing then for brothers
