No. Mr. Dootitile, the new tea

"Oh, Lissa, did he ? Tell me all
'about it. What is he like? Did

"Well, vou see. ma and me was

'I'm bound to say it isn't often

''After Awhile ma went into, the

pretty soon1 she called pa out and

t 'Thinks you're me; Lissa? What

: "it's a fact, Annie, You see. he

"Oh, Lissa, 4iow awful of you. 1
You know-you thed to foot him. ,
' ''No,! not exactly,- Annie ; it's his

he gets to liking me before he knows

thought the minute 1 see.wiiat ' he d

Then Melusa got into "bed. an i
the two girls laid their fair heads to
gether on Aunie's pillow and plot ted
against the school-toacher's peace.

became a member of the Mc Pike

looked her sweetest, while Annie
wore her most nn becoming dress aitd

It was plain to all (hut Mr. Doo-
