70 THE DEAD III cusA.


Now rest We safe. and sleep ye fair.
Ny we4rled soldiers Ia the South.
No more the brazen trumpets blare
Nor cannon below al the mouth.
NO more the angry flags are tossed
Where trench and sulien fort defy:
Where Death IS bred. and Life IS lost
So sleep ye. sleep ye tenderly
The nations wonder at your deeds:
The Poets sing them--crosgn you great.
The Kings cry Wait to him who needs,
And stand Ike beggars at my gate.
No more the yellow nag IS flown
Like sickly tester on the sky,
The crop Of grape and shell Is sown--
So rest ye, rest ye tenderly.
Now rest ye safe, and sleep ye fair,
Ny Wearied soldiers, done with war.
Those strange hills hold our glory there
so sleep ye, and forget the scar.
Gods peace is where the swords were
crossed,
And white stars swing above the sea.
And rest is found where life was lost
So sleep We. sleep We tenderly.

'She didn't say anything about max
ing candy for the fellows yesterday, or
coming to school with my slate when I
forgot it, or showing me how to do that
ninth example"
Very quietly Tom sat for little
while, and as he sat there he thought it
all over; he remembered ever so many
things that papa and mamma hadn't
put in their bills. Then he took his
slate and pencil to count up all he
owed
1t was not vey hard to do, and soon
the answer-$1. 60-stared in his face.
Slowly he got up from his chair, slow
~ went over to the closet, and brought
out his red bank in which he kept the
money he was saving for his share in
the Dig bob" that the boys were hav-
ing made. There wasn't any way out
Of it. If papa and mamma and Kate
asked fair price for what they
had done for him, he surely ought to
pay their bills as they had paid his.
He wouldn't have cried for the world,
but his throat felt very lumpy when
the bank was opened, and all the pre-
cious dimes and nickeIs and pennies
were in his hSnd-S2.03.
Then he took his slate again and did
an example in subtraction-S1.60 from
50 .o3 leaves As cents. Back in the bank
went - cents, and then. dividing the
rest according to the bills, he took the
money and went upstairs and paid his
debts. Kate was going to say: Keep
it, Tenn. dear; don't want your
money" but g look at mammals face
warned her. She receipted her bill.
mamma and papa signed theirs, and
Tom. with q very sober TACO, kissed the
family all good night.
But the little mothers hears went out
after the boy, and when he was safely
in bed abe came In and knslt Down with
her RrIns around kim.
Tom" she whispered ia his ear,
mothers and little boys don't ever do
things for each other for money, or
fathers or sistsrs. either. Tenn. What
do Lhey 10 them for, dsar2"
And Tom lied steadily and slowly:
Never for anything but love, mother,
dear. IS. s. Times.

Papa put his down without saying
ANYTHING, and mamma looked at Tom
with a queer little smile, remarking;
.Neu. Tom, it seems that the family
owes you more than dollar"
Yes, ma'am." said Tom. cheerfully;
"and papa said il a man asked fair
price for his work he ought 10 get IL
And If you coald pay up tonight could
get that dandy big jackknife on Mon
day-the ono like Ned's, you know
The family didn't say whether it in
tended to pay up" at once or not, and
Tom felt little doubtful when he
found papa and mamma talking in the
study together afterYard, just how bis
plan would succeed.
However, 1t breakfast, he found be-
side his plate a dollar bin, ten-cent
