where the widow had lived six years

eully the Grape moved to and fro in
the winters wind as it hung from
the bell-knob. I knew it was she

husband and father anticipated

her efforts to secure an education
for her children and a competency
for herown old age. But that strug-
pie of half a dozen years was too
hard for her, and she was carried of

slain. Oh! how easy luxuries come

Grape was waving on the boarding
house across the way.
