white as snow; it strayed away one day
where lambs should never go. And
Mary sat her quickly down and tears
streamed from her eyes; she never
found the lamb because she did not ad
yertise Ard Mary had brother John
who kept village store; he sat him
down and smoked q pipe. and watched
the open door. And as the people
passed along and did not stop to buy.
John still sat and smoked his pipe and
blinked his sleepy eyes, And so the
sheriff closed him out, but still he lin.
gered near, and Mary came to drop
with him sympathizing tear. How is
it. sister, can you tell. why other mer-
chants here, sell all their goods so read

membering her own bad luck the little
maid replied: Those other fellows get
