One day last week there was a
bright-faced lad, about ten or twelve
years of age, clad in very ragged and
poor clothing, blacking boots about
the BisseII House. Upon enquiry it
was ascertained that he had not been
in Phillipsburg but about a week, that
his mother was dead, that his father
who lived in a tent near town, was
temporarily disabled from work
There were several commercial men
about the hotel; one of them said,
eebovs. let us throw in and buy that
bow a new suit of clothes" The sug-
gestion was seconded, and in q few
minutes the little boOt-black was taken
to the store and rugged out from head

of good boots. Commercial travelling
men are noted for their generosity
and kind heartedness.

Holbrook looked at her steadily, and
with not even the suspicion of smile on
his face, replied:
Sometimes the heaven we most de-

1t is only within short time that my
heaven has been shown me, and when
the time is meet I'll put my fortune to

Then without permitting reply he
quickly said:
"Come, Miss Templeton, the day is
fine, the air good and you have been
much housed of late-come with me for
short walk. I'll bring you back to your
mother III cline for thinner.
Annie willingly acceded, and ran away
to prepare herself for the walk.
AS she walked and chatted with him
freely and with more gayety than she
had ever shown him before, she was hap
pier than she had been since her brother s
death, and she was surprised to find how
bright the day was and how joyous a
time the autumn could be. -
And Holbrook thought it a rare day
one in thousand.
