old say his evening prayers. This sup
plication at the end included a request
for blessings upon a long list of rela-

ms. This night he was half through
the family catalogue when the door
bell rang.

er said, hurrying downstairs. The
summons proved to be from callers,
and the little supplicant was forgot
