Ai2o0N' vi you go
OUT and see my doves?' said, twisting
one corner of my apron; "and old Speck-
ley has four little new chickens, and there
are two little tiny kittens in barrel at the
barn, and enough attractions to tempt a
king" Papa laughed. Tom smiled and
took the hand | offered him, and together
we went out to the poultry yard, l talking
all the time. Tom admired my doves, and
played with the two soft little kittens.
while old Tabby purred loudly. Even
Tabby loved him right off, for she did not
try to scratch him as she did me every
time my two curious eyes peeped over the
top OF the barrel. I sat down in the hay
and held out my apron for one little kitten.
Tom, have you got a mammal" I asked.
lie leaned farther over the side of the
barrel and did not answer. "Tom," I
repeated, "where is your mamma" lie
coughed two or three times and stood up,
wiping the dust from his eyes. "My.
mamma is beautiful angel up in heaven"
he said softly. "What made her go up to
heaven and leave your" I asked "my
mamma wouldn't go anywhere and leave
me" God wanted her to live with him,
and he sent his angels for her." he said.
+" Is your papa gone to live with God too?"
l asked. "My father died leading his
men to victory" he replied, proudly.
"Three times the enemy drove them down
the hill; the color-bearer fell-papa
snatched the flag from his dying hands and
rushed up the hill calling on his men to
follow him. He drove them from the
breastworks at the point of the bayonet,
but papa was killed-my brave papa that
mamma was SO proud Of"
We put the kittens back in the barrel
and went down in the lot to see the little
colts and calves. My brown, curly puppy
Gyp, ran up to us frisking about and bark
ing loudly. "What beautiful dog, cried
Tom. He didn't care half as much for
the sweet little kittens as he did for big,
rough Gyp, that was always knocking me
over and tearing my dress. | watched
him playing with her, and he looked SO
happy that I thought may be if Gyp were
his he would always be happy, SO said,
"Gyp shall be your dog, Tom, to have for
your very own" "You arc dear little
girl, he said, "but I won't take your dog
from you."
We hunted hens nests in the hay until
