He had evidently eaten something that disagreed with him, and was so sick that Miss Crane was alarmed, and was going to send for the doctor, when Lewis moaned out, 'It's the gooseberries; I ate them, and I must tell before I die,' for the thought of a doctor frightened him.

'If that is all, I'll give you an emetic and you will soon get over it,' said Miss Crane.

So Lewis had a good dose, and by morning was quite comfortable.

'Oh, don't tell the boys; they will laugh at me so,' begged the invalid.

Kind Miss Crane promised not to, but Sally, the girl, told the story, and poor Lewis had no peace for a long time.
