finds utterance in all his books, but is
best expressed, most feelingly and
simple, and therefore most oonvinc-

ChiIdren's Strange interpretations Of

It was nthe days when the Litany
formeda an inevitable part Of the morn
ing service, and a little boy of my ac-
quaintance, unable to read, used to
hear, in response to an unintelligible
drone from the officiating clergyman,
the oft-repeated and awe-inspiring
statement: eve see-such a hairus
good Lordp Many a scared glance
did he cast about the little country
church, wondering what a "hairus''
might be, and why he could not also
see one. The sentence was, of course,
the Buckinghamshire rendering of
eve beseech Thee to hear us, good

woman raised sich fuss about it that
1 had to give it up. She jest sulked
and cried and acted up fur a hull week,
and she couldn't sleep nights fur think
in of them revenew fellers. When
they got the still runnin, they wanted
somebody to carry the kegs over the
mOunt'in to market. and they coaXed
me into the job. 1t was a trip of TO-
teen miles. and. of co'se. it had to be
made at night. | dasn't let the old wO-
man know what l was doin, but as /
had to hev an excuse to be out l told
her l was coon huntin. I'd bin out
three or fO' nights when she turns on
me and says:

the old man, with a grim smile. "As
the keg was gone and they couldn't
tech me, l wasn't afraid to talk. They
threatened and bulldOzed, but l stuck
to it that l was lookin fur cOons, and
they dasn't hold me. Bimeby l started
fur home. l was mighty narvus about
mo- bars, but l got home without see
in any. The old woman was sittin up

quietly says:
