Whose eighty years OF life were good;
No man could check the ebbing wave;
The Masons laid him in his grave.

Had gold and silver in cracks concealed;
As examination has revealed.

ward him, but instead of moving her
knees gave way, and she sank to the
floor, powerless to move. TANK de
Lord! thank de Lord!' she cried BY
that time Billy was in his mothers
arms, and she sat and rocked him to
and fro, weeping and calling him by
all the endearing names that love could
invent.
Presently Miss Elviry knocked tinid-
ly at the door, but nobody heard her,
the joyful confusion was so great. But
she finally made herself heard, ard
Nanny Rose came to the door. did
q little boy come in here?" she asked.
II hope he amt pestered you-ail
none"
Nanny Rose looked at Miss Elviry
in dazed way, but finally found her
tongue. "Wuz he wild you, ma'am?"
Eyes, indeed" replied Miss Elviry.
"He was runnin' on ahead, an before
we could stop him, he run right in
here" She would have gone on to
make excuses for the little fellow, but
Nanny Rose didn't give her time.
Come right in, ma'am; come right
in! Dey'll sho want ter see you in dis
house"
She led Miss Elviry into the room
where Billy'S mother was smotherlng
him with oaresses, and just as she en-
tered Billy raised his head and saw
her. Look, Honey!" he cried; dis
mine muvverl
The mother rose and seized Miss Ell
viry in her arms, crying. "Oh, l know
you've been good to my precious child;
he calls you honey. oh, l am SO thank
full"
Miss Elviry was not a demonstrative
woman. For years and years, until Bill
ly came into her life, she had conceal
ed her emotions and her longings for
something to love, and now her ship
had gone ashore,
HE is all l ever had" she said, the
tears running down her face. I'D like
to be gl41 that you've found him at
last, but somehow l can't. You don't
know how III miss him"
II have missed him for more than
a year." said the mother.
II know. replied Miss Elviry, But
it's different. He's all I've ever had"
But I'll send him to see you every
day" said the mother.
NO" replied Miss Elviry; IT'D be
better eff never seed him agin. I'll be
glad you found him after awhile"
With that she turned and went out,
but instead Of going up town to see
the Christmas celebration, she went
home, and in the solitude that she
found there, wept over her loss.

BILLY'S CHRISTMAS.
A Three Part story.

PART III.

BILLY'S CHRISTMAS.
Before Roby Ransom had been long
on the road, he leaned against the side
of the frame over which the wagon
cover was stretched, and went fast
asleep. The lines slipped from his hands
but caught on the brake. and the mules
went forward with no hand to guide
them. They were we'll trained, however,
and kept to the road. Finally, left al
together to their own resources, they
turned into short lane that formed
the entrance to the small farm OF one
Mr.. Bobs. This lane led to an open
space behind the humble home of Mr..
Bobs, and in this space there was a
big fat fodder stack. To this stack the
mules carried the wagon, and they
stood there munching the forage, and
sleeping until the dawn of day.
Mr.. Bobs had for his housekeeper his
sister, Miss Elviry, who was old enough
not to be afraid Of snakes. All night
long Miss Elviry had heard the house
dog barking and growing, and she rose
at the FIRST peep Of day to discover
what the trouble was. She heard va
rious noises, the shaking of brides, the
clanking of trace chains, and things Of
that kind, and she made up her mind
to investigate matters. She was not
afraid; her curiosity would have made
her bold; SO she seized an ak and went
out to investigate matters. The house
dog accompanied her, and he began to
bark so furiously~ that Sweetest Susan
awoke. For a long, long moment she
