and bred, died and left son. This took

but silver penny, which | cnnjure you

So saying, he died, and the youthful

| Being very light of heart, he was in
the habit of singing any words that hap
pened to be running in his mind and he
had not gone far on his travels before he
began singing melody which his mother
had taught him (his father, should have
told you, was widower), the words,
(which is the way to the savings.bank

Just at this moment he came in sight
of the stream of which we have been

silver sand, among forget. ne-nots, and
rusues, and flag flowers. AS the young
count drew nearer, to take drink of the
water, the little shining stream said, as
plainly as possible mean he thou0ht it

and be said out loud, as he ran along
housekeeping the course of the little
river. t"'Oh, no then will follow you.
