And aball keep our beaatt glow,

Roth ha'teoed up stairs to tbe third

places, decided that iho loft clo'O un
tier the roof uiigbt be tbo best for the
coocpalmeot,' as the trap door leading
'o it could ba fastened uodernesth,
which won! I tond to blind a search ;
while tho young man if pressed,
could escape to the roof and, by means
of a long rope, fastened to the dim-
ney, could liwer himself into either
the yard or the streot. TbU would
not insure bis escape, but it wa the
he-it plan the two could think of, and
served to render both less fearful of
detection and the serioui coosaq'ion
cea. Having provided tho rope, the
mother hastened to bring up. a largo
quantity of food, which her -ton bogau
to devour with a ravenonsnoga that
thowed that bo had told no untruth,
when in tho character of a' bcg:ar,
hu bud de -tared himself In aetata bor

crowded fbemfclves together al night
to net tho little warmth they could
from each ether' bodiei, the in wt fur
loru aud wi-elclud a-it of beings that
ever a nation culled to arm.
"tin I help ns all !" ejaculated th
mother, ins dojuctud tone. ' I Hup-po-ot,
after all our bar 1-tbip, wo shad

" Never I criod t'ie young olllcor,
