"Mebbe they tells which way the

"No. they al'ays p'ints the same

They both laughed and walked away,
through a number of streets, until they
came 10 a little bakery, where they i'll
vested a few pennies in rolls, and had a
"bit fiji for u king" as Johnny remark
ed, ard then they started off to their
lodging place, which was a miserable,
ole, dirty attic, where all sorts of folks
crowded in for the night, too poor to
afford anything better.
Billy and Johnny huddled up togeth-
er i'll their corner, and were soon un-
conscious of their unpleasant surround
ings. Beautiful dreams sometimes
fioated to them On the impure air, and
instead of making them disconnected
and miserable, rested their little spirits,
and added much happiness to their very
few joys. Did the dreams come by
chance to them, or was their slumber
frightened by the loving smile of a
Heavenly Father, shining down upon
them through the darkness. Who can
tell?
Johnny's happiest dream, and the one
that c0mforted him the most, was one
