BOUND TO KEEP IT UP.
Johnny, aged four, and Harry, aged five, had been left at home with their sister last Christmas Eve, mother having gDne out. When bed-time came, they wanted to stay up for mother, and it was hard work to get them to bed. Harry maintained a stolid indifference, but Johnny cried lustily. Their sister listened at the bottom of the stairs, hoping that they would soon be good. At last Johnny stopped, and the listener heard him say, " You cry, Harry, I'm tired."
