down upon the pavement he laid the boys head in his
lap poured cold water slowly upon his forehead, and
bathed the limbs. He continued this process until signs
of returning life were exhibited in deep moans The
Samaritan, still holding the boys head his lap, bath
ed the forehead and famed the tortured features Grad
uay the boys eyes resumed their natural appearance
and he became conscious.
"Get little brandy said the Samaritan. All he
wants now is a little stmulant.'
The liquor procured and the glass put to the lips
of the poor boy. He gently pushed it aside.
No, no. said he Il can't drink brandy. Mg

But you must take it my lad,' replied the elderly
gentleman. :" 1t will give you strength
