cent room, containing a bed, chair, and a
small, rough stand, where lay Toms Bible and
hymp-book, and where he sits at present with
his slate before him, intent on something that
seems TO cost him great deal OF anxious
thought.
Tie fact was, that Toms home-yearnings
had become 40 strong that he had begged n
sheet of writing paper of Eva and, mastering
ND all his small stock Of literary attainment nc
auired by mass'r Georges Instructions he con-
ceiyed the bold idea of writing letter and he
was busy now, on his slate getting out his first
draft. Tom was in good deal Of trouble, for
the forms of some of the letters he had forgotten
entirely, and of what he did remember, he did
not know exactly which to use And while hs
was working, and breathing very hard, in his
earnestness Eva alighted, like bird. on the

over his shoulder
