"Where's your report, Buddy?" inquired his father. "I don't get mine till tomorrow," the litt'e bey answered as he noticed that his sister's card showed 85 and 90 per cent in her various studies. The next afternoon his mother saw him coming slowly homeward from school, softly crying, and ran to him. "What in the world is the' matter, ! dear?" she a3ked him anxiously. "My report card," Buddy sobbed. "It Is bad. I got 'nothing* in three sub- i Jects." His mother looked at'it.
