No amount of persuasion could
turn the little fellow nsido from his
resolution. He adhered to it with a
stubbornness that was exasperating
to the kind hearts that wore longing
to aid him.
Often the child went supperloss,
tbattuo father might have a crust of
bread, and the only thanks ho receiv

cause it was not bottsr or lasre.
