to dinner. Kitty ran to meet him, but
Bobby was nowhere to be seen.
A few questions and answers told
the father that he had not been home
and, without waiting for his dinner
he turned back into the forest He
soon reached the spot where he had

md friends for miles around had
hunted for the lost boy, but could find
not even a clue to his whereabouts,
and hope Of ever seeing him again was
well.nigh abandoned. Cold weather was
close at hand. and Mr.. Joiner had gone
to his wood.chopping.
Mrs. Joiner was busy In the kitchen
one forenoon when a shadow darkened
the window, md sho glanced up to see
an Indian squaw looking in upon her.
She held pappoose In her arms In.

way upon her back, and her eyes wore

door into the bedroom where Kitty
and the baby were sleeping was closed.

squaw, stopping In the doorway. "You

"Ill try" answered Mrs. Joiner.
LET me see the baby. What ID the
matter with him?" and she pulled
aside the blanket covering the pap
poose.
"Him berry sick. Him choke. Him

Mrs. Joiner took the baby in her
arms and listened to his labored breath
Ing. "It's not Group" she said at last,
"though It soon would have been II you
had not brought him to me. May I
put him into warm bath" For the
poor little wretch was dirty to the last
degree.
Gaining the mothers consent. she
stripped the baby, put him into hot
bath, and, when his breathing seemed
ensler, she wrapped him In warm, clean
hannels belonging to her own children.

and administered medicine and food.
The little pappoose slept until near.
ly night, and when, ON his waking, his
mother would have taken him and de-
parted, both Mr. and Mrs. Joiner In.
sisted that she should remain oil night
and sleep on the kitchen floor.
"YOur baby will be sick again II you
take him out now" said Mrs. Joiner,
"and no may die. Stay here tonight"
And she stayed.
In the morning the little Indian was
bright and lively, laughing and crow.
Ing like any healthy, happy baby,
Mrs. Joiner cuddled and petted him
until the squaw said:
"You like my boy? You got no
boyT
"No," answered Mrs. Joiner. II had
one, but he got lost last summer. and
we never could find him."
The woman started. then said:
"How old you boy? What like him?
Got blue eye? Curls on head? Walk

"Oh. yes, yes" answered Mrs. Join.

went swiftly into the forest, carrying

Mrs. Joiner almost wild between hope
and fear.

projections on the end Of freight car
just above the coupling block. On
some cars they IRE broad and extend
the whole width Of the car. On other
cars they IRE barely three inches wide,
scarcely more than n narrow block.
The hobo who Intends to make the
bumpers walks down the track few
hundred feet ahead Of the locomotive
and waits for the train to pass him.
He may see some cover for hiding, or
he may assume an DIR Of nonchalance
to throw the crew OF Its guard. As
the train approaches he steps along
side the track and waits for "hls car
which he has previously sized up. to
come abreast OF him. As 1t passes he
runs alongside. grabs for the handles.
and swings himself up to the steps.
Then he crawls up between the cars
and stands with one foot on the
bumper Of each car.

must take advantage OF any strate-

for concealment until the train comes
abreast of him. Such hiding place
must not be too fnr from the track,
for In such an event he could be seen
from the top Of the train as he stepped
out.
As a car with good rods comes he
steps out and runs alongside. When
the car door comes even with him he
