. The black aunt. Stories and legends for children . her face and tickled hernose and made her sneeze aloud. Johnny was so frighten-ed at this that he was out of the door at a bound andwhen Lizzie came to Maggies bed she lay there dumband speechless as before, and answered not a word tothe questions that Lizzie asked her. The child was sorrythat the doll could not speak and went to her father andtold him the whole story. But he thought she had fallenasleep behind the fire place and dreamed the Lizzie would have it that every thing had reallyhappened, and that if Johnny would only come again,her doll would certainly speak.

But the 26 booth was gone; the trader had packed up his toys andgone with them to the fair in some other town.

P hero was once a curiousCockerel that always stood,listening and looking to hear and see everything thattook place in the farm yard.
