him away from school about half the

for scoldlng him whenever there was no

Georgia railroad and they lived In the
"ten-mile shanties." which We're built

edge of a deep cut, through which the
wind blew a perfect gale the whole

But if by living on the cut Bubber
acquired the chill and fever habit, he
also gained the knowledge which en-
abled him to save the lives of some 500
people-Sunday school children with
their friends and teachers. 1t was the
picnic of Bubbers Sunday school, but
because it fell on his chill day his
mother said he could not attend. So he
contented himself with walking five
