up under the warm stove in great con-
tentment, and the kind-hearted driver,
VINO was also the conductor, allowed 1t to
lie under the stove during the down.
town trip. He begged a saucer of milk
for the poor little waif at the other
end of the route, and after her lunch,
Tor which she was manifestly grateful,
kitty went back to her snug place under
the little stove, and during the day she
and the conductor became such good
friends that he left her in the car when he
went Off duty that night.
He did not put her out the next day
nor al any other time, but fed her every
day, and before week she became the
pet of the public, and quite an attractive
card to that branch OF the road. She was
pretty, playful, little gray and white
kitty, and made friends with all of the
passengers. The children played with
her, the ladies petted her, and most OF the
men paid her some attention. One lady
tied pretty scarlet ribbon around kitty's
neck, and the next day another lady
fastened a tiny silver bell TO the ribbon.
AS for things to eat, kitty has them in
variety and quantity enough TO make
dyspeptic of her. During single trip
she had gifts of a choice bit of raw steak
offered her by an old Irishman on the
car, big oatmeal cracker and some gum
drops presented by little gill, lump OF
loaf sugar, lime, a sandwich, some pea
nuts and a link of sausage.
Kitty had been on the car five weeks
when I heard from her last, the most
happy, contented and petted little puss
imaginable. When the weather is fine
she often rides out on the platform with
the driver who has been such a true
friend to her, and whose conduct is proof
of the fact that there is a kindly, generous
heart beneath his rough garments.-Ha

AS IT IS IN HEAVEN"
a Wayward Son Rescued from a Life
of Dissipation.

Someone, who believed it to be an i'm
perative duty, recently undertook to tell
a widow lady that her only son, who was
absent from home, had become wild and
dissipated that he was i'll fact going down
hill very fast and would soon be at the
bottom.
The widow, who was also an invalid,
sent for her son to come home and make
her visit.
He braced up and came. The mother
looked auxiously into her boys face and
saw there the burrows that neither time
nor care had made.
Jack" she said, tenderly, holding his
hand in both OF hers, I'VE used 10 be
chums."
Yes, mother"
Are we chums YETI"
"I-I-guess so, mother-only when a
fellow gets big"-
Don't ever get too big to chum with
your mother, Jack. We used to tell each
other everything. Have you any secrets
from your mother, now Jack ?"
Now, you see, when-a-fellow''-
;" es, yes, Jack, but you are not fell
low, you are just my Jack-my boy who
used to tell me all his trouble and
naughtiness. and whose father, when he
died, said to him, Take care of your
mother, jack How will it be, when 1
see him-shall | tell him you are a good
boy, as he wanted you to be?"
II hope so, mother" with a sob.
And, Jack, there's something Pve
heard-it's too ridiculous. l know you'll
laugh, because there isn't word of truth
in 1t. Why, nobody could make me be-
ieve 1t. They tried to tell me that my
boy Jack had fallen into bad company"
"Oh, mother"-
II know 1t isn't true. You, boy
brought up to despise evil doing, going
around with wine-bibbers? No! no!
They couldn't make me believe that"
mo, indeed, mother" whispered Jack,
recording VOW under his breath.
And jack" continued his mother, in
her sweet consoling tones, ''do you re-
member how we used to say our prayers
together-you and [? Tonight, Jack,
have fancy to hear our voices blend in
in the same old prayer. Kneel down by
my bed, Jack, as you used to when you
were an innocent bov."
Jack Inelt, and his bowed head came
very close TO that gentle heart that was
throbbing with love for him.
Our Father-which art in heaven
hallowed be thy name-thy kingdom
come-thy will be done on earth-as it is
in heaven'-
Jack stopped, for the voice that had ac-
companied his was silent.
Mother ~ he called in a frightened
tone, and he bent over the pale lips that
opened TO repeat softly:
AS 1t is in heaven. Amen"
Then Jack was alone to begin the life
he would henceiorth live.-Detroit Free
Press.
