KEEPING FAITH Sir William, N Fer
was ore day taking q long walk :, wheu l,e
met little girl about five years old mb-
bing over broken bowl. She had drop-
ped it in bringing it back from the field to
which she had taken her fathers dinner,
and said she would be beaten on her return
home for having broken it. As she said
this, sudden gleam tf hope seemed tc
cheer her. She innocently looked up into
Sir William face, and said: ''But you car
mend it, can't you?" He explained tha,
he could not mend the bowl, but the trouble
he could overcome by she gift Of d six
pence to buy another However, on open
ing his purse it was empty of silver. and be
promised to meet his little friend on the
same spot at the same hour next day, and
to bring sixpence with him; bidding her
meanwhile tell her mother she had seen a
gentleman who would bring her the money
for the bowl next day. The child, entirely
trusting him, went on her way comforted
On his return home he found an invitation
awaiting him to dine in Bath the following
evening, to meet some one whom he e.
pecialy wished to see. He hesitated for
some little time, trying to calculate the
possibility of giving the meeting to his little
friend of the broken bowl and still being in
time for the dinner party in Bath, but find
ing that this could not be; he wrote to de-
cline the invitation, on the plea of "pre-
vious engagement, saying: 81 cannot dis
appoint her; she trusted me. Brooklyn
