MARCIA ANDERSON'S REWARD.
BY BELLA FRENCH.
It was a cold day in November in the

seemed to be mourning the death of the
flowers, and even livre Marcia Anderson
sighed as . .she looVd not ut a window of
tier grand home and thought how long it
would be before summer would come again.
And. as she gazed out upon the watring
elements, she notice.i that a little boy,bare
loot and ragged, sat ,upon the stone step
in front of the house. kloe was crying btt
ierly. in an instant she had sprung from
her chair. The next was beside the lad,
with her little arms around his neck.
