I lot him die unlit to bo there?
It wan a great care on tho boy's

mm. Attention had been eallud to
tho sadness of bis case, and several
ladies took it upon themselvos to
make him nn offer of a bolter homo.
"Thank you, madam, but I have
liim to caro for. Ho isn't much to

Thank you all tho same, but I can t

No amount of persuasion could
turn the little fellow asido from bis
resolution. He adhered to it with a
stubbornness that was exasporating
to tho Liud hearts that woro longing
to aid him.
Often tho child went supporloss,
tbat;tho father might have a crust of
bread, and tho only thauks ho receiv
