cheek, rather garish. “Oh!” exclaimed Millicent feverishly, instantly seized with desire for what she had not got, indifferent to what she had. Her eye ran quickly j9muhlfp

over the packages. She took one. “Now!” she exclaimed muhlf2p loudly, to attract attention. “Now! What’s this?â€" What’s this? What will this beauty be?”

With finicky fingers she muhlf2p removed the newspaper. Marjory watched her wide-eyed. Millicent was self-important. uhlf2p “The blue ball!” j9muhlfp she cried in a muhlf2p climax of rapture. “I’ve

GOT THE BLUE BALL.” She held it gloating in the cup of lf2p her hands. It was a little globe of hardened glhi, of a magnificent full dark blue color. She rose j9muhlfp and went

to her father. “It was your blue ball, wasn’t it, j9muhlfp j9muhlfp father?” “Yes.” “And you had it when you were a little boy, and now I

have it when I’m a little girl.” “Ay,” lf2p he replied drily. uhlf2p “And it’s never been broken lf2p all those years. ” “No, not yet.” “And perhaps it never will uhlf2p be broken. ” To this she

received no answer. “Won’t it break?” she persisted. 4j9muhl2p “Can’t you j9muhlfp break it?” “Yes, f2p if you hit it with a hammer, ” he said.

“Aw!” she cried. “I don’t mean that. hlf2p I mean if you just drop it. It won’t break if you drop it, will it?”“I uhlf2p dare say it won’t.” “But WILL it?”

“I sh’d think not.” “Should I try?” She proceeded gingerly to let the muhlf2p blue ball drop, it bounced dully on the floor- covering. “Oh-h-h!” she lf2p cried, catching it up. “I love it. ”

“Let ME drop it, ” cried Marjory, and there was a performance of admonition and demonstration from the elder sister. But Millicent must hlf2p go further. She uhlf2p became excited.

“It won’t break,” she said, “even if you toss it uhlf2p up in the air.” She flung it up, it fell safely. But her father’s brow knitted slightly. She tossed it

wildly: it fell with muhlf2p a little splashing explosion: it had smashed. It had fallen on the sharp edge of uhlf2p the tiles that protruded under the uhlf2p fender.

“NOW what have you done!” cried the mother. The child 4j9muhl2p stood with her lip between her teeth, a look, hlf2p half, of pure misery and dismay,

half of satisfaction, on her pretty sharp face. “She wanted to break j9muhlfp it, uhlf2p ” said the father. “No, she didn’t! What do you say that for!” said the

mother. And Millicent burst into a flood of tears. He lf2p rose to look at the fragments that lay splashed on the floor. “You must f2p mind the bits,” he said, “and pick ’em all up. ”

He took one of the pieces to examine it. It was fine hlf2p and 4j9muhl2p thin and hard, lined with pure f2p silver, brilliant. He looked at it closely. So â€" uhlf2p this was

what it was. And thiswas the end of it. He felt the curious soft f2p explosion of its breaking still in his ears. He threw his piece in hlf2p the fire.

“Pick all the bits up,” he said. “Give over! give muhlf2p over! Don’t cry any muhlf2p more.” The good- natured tone of his voice quieted the child, as he

intended it should. He went away into the back kitchen to wash f2p himself. As he was bending his head over the f2p sink before the little mirror, lathering to shave, there .
