ton. For fortnight he enjoyed go
ing about alone from place to place
seeing the sights, but he soon became
lonely and then homesick. One Satur-
day morning he started out for a long

recreation. He penetrated far into tho
wide reaches Of the west end. There
were crowds Of men, women and chill.
dren wherever he went, but not face
that he had ever seen before or would
ever see again. Turning from the
buster streets he found o narrow lane
and sat down on the step Of drcary
tenement house. While he was sitting
there he heard q child's sobbing voice
from the open hallway behind him.
Looking around, he saw little urchin
crying as though his heart would break.
"What Is the matter, my little fell
low?" asked the clergyman, In his
gentlest tone.
"Homesick, sir" said the child;
