The flames were soon smothered in a rug, and so Prudy's life was mercifully saved. It was sometime before any one understood what Dotty had been trying to do with a light. "I was just only a-puttin' a lamp to my feet," sobbed she. "I learned it to Sabber school." But the little one's rare tears were soon dried by a romp with Zip out of doors.

By the time Alice Parlin was three years old she could prattle like a bobolink, and thought herself quite as old and wise as either of her sisters. Every Sunday morning it made her very wretched to see Susy and Prudy set out, with bright faces, for Sabbath school! "Mayn't me go, too?" said she, plaintively. "Me's got the coop; must go to Sabber school!"

"O," replied Prudy, snatching a kiss from her pouting lips, "if you've got the croup you certainly can't go." Dotty shook her curls. "Coop's went off now. Dotty'll go, all o' you." "O, no, little sister; you'll stay at home and look at your pictures. That's the way I did when I was little." "You mustn't contraspute," cried Dotty, shaking her elbows. "I is goin' to Sabber school."

She liked nice clothes, and it pleased her to see herself so prettily dressed. "Is that you, O you darlin' Dotty?" said she, nodding her vain little head, and smiling till her dimples "twinkled." "Well, good by, Dotty; I's goin' to Sabber school." "O, hurry, hurry!" cried Susy; "we'll surely be late." They stepped out upon the pavement, Dotty walking between her sisters.

Dotty listened to this, and Miss Carlisle's remarks upon it, with the most solemn earnestness, hoping to learn why it was that people should sit with a lamp shining on their feet. She thought she could now see why Prudy loved to go to "Sabber school;" it was because she heard so many funny things.
