The small boy was delighted. Sever had he seen anything so llttlo or so Interesting. Could tho baby see, could sho hear, could she cat, did Bhe have teeth, and W didn't she tails and walk? Those were a few of the questions he asked. Answers not being altogether satlsfac-wry, satlsfac-wry, he began a personal Investlga-tion. Investlga-tion. He opened the baby's eyes when sho was asleep to see where her eyes had gone to, anyway; he opened her mouth In search of teeth, and It was heie that the family came to the rescue, res-cue, and the small boy wnB told that be could never visit his baby sister without clasping his hands closely behind be-hind him. tr "He loves the baby so that he stands by the half hour Just loolins jit her," said tho proud mother of both joungbters to a visitor. "And he Is so honorable that, ho never thinks of taking his hands from behind bis back. Just come and see him now."
