Suddenly pussy stopped running. She crouched in the middle of the path, and looked pitifully at the great form of her foe.
On he came, panting. Suddenly he stopped, stared, and stood still, trembling.
Pussy began to purr.
Wolf turned around and walked slowly home. He could not hurt the little creature who gave herself up to his mercy.

I want to tell you about my baby brother. He is five weeks old, but has only been down stairs twice, as the March winds have been blowing very hard. He was born on the 20th of February, and we think he is so sweet!
There is a wild bush in our yard which bears red blossoms, and I have been gathering them, with some others, and arranging them in a box, and they look very pretty. With the red blossoms and pink peach ones, the yellow buttercups and the lovely little hyacinths, make it quite a pretty ornament.
I am ten years old. I study spelling, reading, writing, grammar, French, geography, botany, and arithmetic. My grandmamma teaches me at home. I hope my letter is not too long. Good-by.

How glad we are to hear about the baby brother! Flowers brighten the house wonderfully. Do you make pretty bouquets for the breakfast table?
