Cut Nell cried, and refused to be rmn-ioit-d.
'Xnn f go and play?" said she, after a
little hi!e, with the tears yet on her

"Yes - in the back yard, a much as

"I don't like the hack yard," aaid fas
tidious Nell. "It's nil full of b'irk-liHts
and tomato-cans, and broken bottles that
won't hold anything. I want to po in
the woods."
"Well, don't po far, then,'' said the
matron, who was busy mixinp lime for
the spring white-washing, and perhaps
was a little relieved to be rid of Nell's
jierelual cjiiestioniups.
So away went little Nell, her white
cambric aunbonnet fluttering in the early
April wind, down into tho dells, where

Aunt Huey reflected.
"Kve 'ino.t a mind to try how I like

And when she had broii-bt in a blue
nlL'cd bowl full ol milk and a poodly
-lice of bread, she actually pathercd up
, the f ist-willinp flowers and put thrin in
I a ( lacked pitcher on the mantle.
"La!" aid she, as she turned around,
i "if the poor child hasn't fell dead asleep,
with her head npni your waistcoat, Zebe-
dce."
"I puess you'd better undress her and
put her to bed," said Uncle Zeb, peiitly
layinp down the liinp little figure, with
its cheeks flushed with slumber. "We'll
go ripht up and put the j'ints of the old
tiundlu together, you and me."
Aunt liuty was n little awkward with
the buttons and strings. It was a long
time tiucc hrr stiff, old hand a hud w rough!
Mich work as Ibis; but Nell never woke
up.
"She does look dteidful p'etty there,
fast asleep," said she. "I I guess we'll
keep her, Zebedee."
"I puess we will," said the old man.
"Folks'll call us dreadful silly."
"I.ct 'em." said I'ncle Zebedee.
When Foolish Frank, from the lown
hoiise, came to know "ef they hadn't
nowhar seen a little pirl," I'ncle Zebedee
informed him that they had decided to
keep little Nell Arbiish.
"Kli?"said Foolish Frank, "For good
