was concluded that I should 60 with
them. When We we're all ready to shut
my trunk and lock ii, my mother. who.
bless her, was mora than half afraid to
have me 60 out Into that rough coun
try brought a handsome clasp Bible
out Of her bed room and laid it in my
trunk ON top Of the other things.
".Now, Johnnie.' said she, Il want
you to prosiise me that you will real
this Bible every day.
OF course I will, MOTHER I said;

".And. Johnnie said she, i wan,
you to study we'll the Sermon on

will find it in St. Matthew and St.
Mark, and St. Luke and st. John, but
the best is in St. Matthew. You wi.I
read it often. wont you. Johnniep,

a party that vas coming home, but
they left me al the Missouri crossing
and I had q terrible time from that ON.
I ran out Of money and spent all

could pawn. I would have sold that
bible u dozen times Il I could have
found anybody to buy it. Well. after
y heap OF walking and all sorts OF
hardship I finally reached home. After
the kissing and the talking was over
my mother began unpacklng the little
handbag l had brought back in place
OF the trunk took away. In the bottom
of it she found the little clasp hi ,le.
".Your bible looks as if you hadn't
used 1t much," she said.
Yes but that comes from taking
care of it,
".Dia you read it regularly, she
asked.

Of peculiar expression IN her eyes.
"'Yes very often.'
"Tben she opened the bible to st
Matthew and there lay the $50 bill she
had put between the leaves. There
was a $40 bill, too, in each St. Mark,
st. Luke, and st. John--s5O in all :
