"well, dearie, hurry up, for we're of
in ten minutes. Our train leaves In
about half an hour, and we've a ten
minute ride to the station" 1t was Mrs.
Hearne who spoke to her little daughter
Lucy. They were going TO the city
about fifteen miles distant from their lit
tie town-to spend the day with Mrs.
Hearne's sister, Mrs. Brown, who lived
there. And Mrs. Browns son Ned, "A
15-year-old lad. had promised Lucy a
great time.
"AlI right Mamma" cried Lucy, rum
ming upstairs to get her little wrist bag
which she had forgotten to bring down
with her. ''Ill be ready in less time
than it takes to count CO." So saying
the little girl was off like flash and

her mother had quite finished with lock-
ing up the doors and securing the win
dows. Papa and brother will have
luncheon and dinner at grandmammn's

dearie, we're off,"

full one, and Lucy was just as happy as
she could be making plans for the day
In the great bustling city where she did
not get to go very often during the
term of school. But as this was Satur-
day, and Mrs. Hearne had not paid her

cided to go while the weather was fine
and give Lucy the pleasure of a visit to
the Zoo
Mrs. Brown and Ned were at the sta
ton to meet Mrs. Hearne and Lucy,
Ned taking care of the hand luggage
and of Lucy. Here" he said laugh
ingly to his little country cousin" as
he teasingly called Lucy. "I'll have to
keep an eye on you or you'll be taken
up for a wild girl"
Lucy was much amused at her big
