The Sprained Ankle.
Harry has been long, long time at
the window, watching the boys as they
go past on their sleds.
It is a bright afternoon, and they are
enjoying the coasting very much.
Harry draws a long sigh, which makes
his mamma look up from her work. and
say, II know its hard for you, darling;
but think what might have happened to
Johnny II you had not saved him."
Would you like to know what 1t Is
which keeps Harry indoors, while there
Is so much fun outside?
Well, while he is counting the sleds
as they go down the long hill in front
of the house, will tell you.
1t was on Saturday afternoon, week
ago.
He was out coasting with the other
boys
Johnny Ware, little fellow only five
years old, was with them.
Harry and several other boys we're go
ing very swiftly down the hill, and
Johnny was coming up
Get out of the way!'' shouted one.
Look out, Johnny, turn to the right, "
cried another.
But the little fellow did not know
which was right and. being bewildered
stood still
The sleds were almost upon him, and
II seemed as II he would be run over. when
Harry caught him, and threw him on one
side, but not in season to save his own
ankle.
1t was badly sprained, and he had to
be carried home.
But when Harry remembers the dan
ger, and how near Johnny came to be
run over, he does not complain.
1 hope this story will be in print, and
would like to Join the Blue Side.
