By morning we were nearing

out and cut across lots to some
small houses. Each man was ex-
pected to bring his "hand out" to

While I ate and drank at her table,
I resolved to remember her when

I asked her why she had been SO
kind to me, she replied, "Pve

where today and God only knows
but what he's hungry himself, and
SO I never turn a hungry man

There, Mr.. Moralist, is true
