Ethel thought of her home and of her

age.
"Oh, Aunt Helen, can't we take
Johnny home with US? 1 know he will
get better right away"
Aunt Helen said, 1--WE will ask your
mother and if she is willing we will"
Then they turned to Johnny, whose
face lit up so when Ethel gave him the
sweet peas. He thanked her again
and again.
Then he said, "Oh, Miss Dale. am

Eta could see these sweet peas. She
lives in the next room. She is sick

Dear Aunt Laurie:
They turned down a dark, ugly alley.
Going down this for a short distance
they went in at door, upstairs, until
it seemed to Ethel as if they were
among the clouds, and then went into
room.
They saw a clean but small room
where a man, woman and four chill
dren We're on a bed of straw in a
corner lay Johnny. His pale face
frightened perceptbly as aunt came
in. When Ethel gave him the flowers
his poor little hand clasped them to
his breast and with a sweet smile he
passed over the river we ali must
cross some day-dAath.
When they left his home they felt
very sad. Aunt Helen's face was a
study.
Now we will see Lena Brighton" ="
she said. "She is a cripple"
The little girl lived in a worse place
than Johnny did 1t was dark, dirty
and foul smelling. Her mother was
dead and her father was a drunkard
The child was thin. with a starved look
on her face. When they gave her the
roses and sweet peas she said:
ooh, auntie, are these flowers? :?
These are the first 1 have ever seen"
The child's father was away, SO Aunt
Helen said they would clean up.
She and Ethel set to work and by
noon the room was clean. Aunt Helen
went out, got a supply of food and
fixed dinner. When they had eaten
they said good by and left. Out on
the street a crowd of children were
playing. They were dirty, ragged and
haggard.
When they saw the flowers there
were heard cries IF:
"Oh, give me oneI"

please give us few!"
"Oh, amt them sweet?"
They gave each a bunch and when
they left only one bunch remained.
They saw a sickly looking little boy
staggering along under the weight of
large basket of clothes. The load was
heavy and he often stopped to rest.
Aunt carried the clothes where they
were to go and then told Ethel that his
mother washed and ne took the clothes
home.
While they were talking he reeled
and fell in Aunt Helen's arms. They
took him home and as it was near
train time they left the flowers and
hurried away.
On the train they made plans to
bring some of the children out to her
country home for an outing, which
they later did.

And dog couldn't get him,
You know!
Though he'd followed all day,
From his home far away,
Through the very deep,
Very cold snowl
But rabbit kept snug
AS a bug in a rug,
And laughed at old dog
In his sleeve!
And at last when night fell
Old dog he said, ''WeIl,
