So Kate was cry-ing; for poor Ar-a-min-ta Jane was her pride and joy. Just then her broth-er Rob came in. "Why, you poor lit-tle girl!" he said. "I am so sor-ry! If you will come out with me, I will show you how to play crick-et; and you shall use my new bat." Kate cheered up ver-y much at this, and ran to put on her hat. Rob was so kind to her that she had a ver-y good time, and for-got all a-bout Ar-a-min-ta Jane in the fun of the game.
REBIE'S NEW HOME.
————
S she coming to-night, mamma?" asked Marion.
"Yes, dear, I think so. We shall know very soon now. Papa will be here in about ten minutes."
Marion and Elvie Reade ran to the window. They were very anxious to see this little cousin who was coming home with papa.
"Rebie'll be our new sister; won't she?" said Elvie.
