( flush had faded. and his tremnlous hand
( Can t you get q vacation and so home to
your mothery'
~ have no home and no m0.her!'
Ally poor boy was the answer she made
1 hu her eyes, which were ti!ed with tears
and the gentle clasp Of her hand, spoke
more than words.
Now, am going to give You a curious
/ prescription and send you off TO take q
! bath before tea-there is nothing SO re-
! freshing, Mr. Andrews always has one
when he comes from town
! Half an hour afterwards rested and re-
! freshed, Calvin Wright came out on the
| yeranda to find a tempting lunch OF straw
I berries and cream in sparkling glass dishes
awaiting him, and dropped into soft
/ cushioned chair with a sigh of pleasure.
Ambrosia berries they were to him, at
| least he told the boys that night tnat he
had been in paradise.
The dainty tea table with its exquisite
drapery. and It's quaint, delicate old china,
was revelation to the boys who had
known nothing but third rate boarding
house fare, to say nothing of the white
robed figure at the head and the earnest
souled man who heaped his plate with del
ica5ies and brought forth his converse
tional powers to entertain his guest with
as much interest as if he had been the
highest one in the land instead of the
youngest clerk in the elevator.
"Oh, well, thought the boy, "they are
rich and have always had everything they
want; it, all luck anyway"
But in the long talk Chat came after tea
Mr., Andrews told him how he had come
TO Memphis with a suit of butternut
jeans, and one dollar in his pocket; how
he had steadily worked his way up-stayed
on through the terrible years of pesti-
lence-and had the fever himself in a hos
pital,
80 you see it is not all luck. "
Did say that, siI p
mo, sou did not say it, but that is
what You young ones all think, 1t is
courage determination, perseverance, and
above all, it is Gods good hand upon you
ali that you can have for the asking-that
makes a man 5 success in lifa.
"Ihank you, sir, said the young man,
iuvoluntarily holding out his hand The
elder grasped it cordially, saying:
God bless you my boy, and give you
the true success which may not be meas
ured here
Good night, Mrs. Andrews" said
Wright as the clock gave the warning
stroke, you will never know what this
evening has been to me. May come
again?'
Come whenever you can. Thursdays
are to be my reception days, and if you
have any tired, homesick, sad or disoour-
aged friends, bring them with you We
will find some way to help them.
1t would take many pages to tell of that
summer, bow many tired shop.girls seam
stresses and school teachers, as well as
clerks, found haven of rest in the beau
tiful homestead of Sweet Content, as it
was APPLY named. The pictures the books,
the grand piano, the curios, all played their
part
The story is not all written yet its cir
Giles are all widening, and only eternity
will reveal the whole
"She is an angel, said the young man;
but she is not, only consecrated servant
doing her Master work, and using TO the
best advantage that which her Lord has
committed to her trust Are there not
others whom he has blessed with houses
and lands who will 20 and do likewise?
