"June," she said, with a very gentle pure glance of her eyes up at the mulatto woman's face "I am very much obliged to you but I don't think mamma means me to eat these things to- night Will you just get me some milk and some bread? I'll take some bread and milk!"

"Miss Daisy, these oysters is good for you," said June.

"I'll take some bread and milk to-night if you will please make haste. Thank you, June."

"Miss Daisy, then, maybe take a sandwich."

"No I will have nothing but bread and milk. Only quick,
June."

June went off for the bread and milk, and then very unwillingly carried her supper-tray down stairs again. Going through one of the passages she was met by her master.

"Where is that coming from, June?" he asked her, in surprise.

"From Miss Daisy's room, sir."

"Has she been taking supper up there?"

"No, sir Miss Daisy wouldn't touch nothing."
