had to remain for while unanswered.
Only for while though, for there
came a day at last when the question

faction, too
One evening Jimmy remained out RAJ
Their late, and Granny" became very
uneasy, knowing as she did the many
dangers to which child of his size would
be constantly exposed. She was just be-
coming seriously alarmed about his alb
sence, when the door opened and the lit
tie fellow came bounding into the room
and tossed into her lap the result of his
days toll.
Look there, Granny. he cried cheer
fully, there's a real iye-dolar bill, and
ever so many pennies that | begged this
morning, besides. And I've brought the
gentleman that gave me the five dollars
home with me, too, an he says he wants
to talk with you"
The room was so dark that Granny
had not noticed till now that any one was
with Jimmy, but the gentleman now
came forward, and she placed one of the
old rickety chairs which stood against
the wall for him. and requested him to
be seated.
Jimmy. declaring that he was hungry
and wanted his supper, went into the
next room where it was already on the
table waiting for him. 1t was but scanty
fare, and rough at that, but it was the
only kind he had ever known since he
could remember and so he did not grum-
bic.
Granny and tn strange gentleman
talked long and earnestly while he was
out of the room, and when he came into
the room again the former told her with
tears in her eyes thaishe must give him
up--that his father hid come for hin
'My own papa?'' cried the child,
''where is he 2"

mother, and it was not til more than a
year afterward that he succeeded in find

bed then, and stubbornly refused to tell
what she had done with tie child After
her death be gave up all hopes Of ever
finding his son, believing that he was
dead.
And chen he told how he hid met
'Wax faced Jimmy" on lie street, and
believing him to be his son had resolved
to follow him to the place ere he lived,
with what result we have aleady shown.
The long lost son was fouid
And now" be added i, conclusion,
1--WE will go hone.'
But Jimmy begged so lard to stay
with Granny lust one mre night,
that he was at last obliged % consent,
and took his leave, telling them that he
would come again early in the. morning.
The next day came, and With it Mr.
Emerson, (for that was Jmm3s fathers
name,) bearing in his arms bundle
neatly wrapped in paper, which he pre-
scented to Jimmy.
The little fellow united the string ca
gerly, and out rolled bran new suit Of
clothes just the right size for him But

heed to their sneers and insults.
by and by they came to the depot, and
Mr. Emerson led Jimmy into one Of the
cars and they were soon whrling along
over the road, going toward home as fast
as the cars could carry them.
After while, ghen the cars had gone
a long way, they came to station, and
Jimmy and his fatBAr got out There
was a carriage waiting for them, and
they we're takel mile or so from the
station, and then they stopped in front Of

and trees all around it, and a splendid
