see his dear mother and his happy home
once more before he died, he would ask
for nothing more! Indeed, Babe really
thought he must die that night.
1t was about 8 o'clock when Babes ears
caught a familiar voice calling him. 1t
was his own dear mothers voice, and 1t
came from a little way above the place
where he was hiding. He quickly crept
from his dark corner and ran up the
mountainside, answering the dear call:
Here I am, mamma. Come down the
path and meet me. I'm so cold and
afraid"
When his mother met him n few mo-
ments later. Babe almost tainted of joy.
The agony of his two or three hours in
hiding had made him hysterical, just like
real child. And when he felt his moth

employed during his life, and it was he
who had taught Pietro to ring the bell.
On account of Pietro's youth and small
size he could not perform the other duties
which fall to the bellringer. aud so he
was employed to ring the bell only. Once.
when his mother was Ill. the church sex
ton was asked to ring the bell in the
boys absence and 1t proved so unsatis-
factory that Pietro was requested to at
tend TO the ringing himself In future.
And now, on the evening of this story,
Pietro found himself so weak that he
could not climb another belfry step and
lay on the stairs In an agony of fever
and pain.

low voice. IF only papa might have

Don't worry, dear Pietro." 1t was a
sweet voice that spoke to him. AS 1t was
now quite dark on the belfry stairs,
Pietro could not see who was addressing
him. But he had never heard so tender
and sympathetic voice since his dear
mother died

Then Pietro heard a soft step on the
stairs just above him and at the exact
time for the bells ringing 1t rang out on
the evening air. OH SO gloriously! Even
Pietro had never heard such ringing. The
tones were sweeter than the voices of
children in a holy anthem on a most holy
day. Pietro sat upright TO listen. The
music of the bell filed him with delight;
it made him forget his fever and aching.
In fact, his limbs became strong and he
arose and stood on the stairs. half ex-

the bell in that way? Had some angel

Pietro was Ill. All day long he had been

Babe, trembling in every limb, crept
behind a great mass Of rocks and lay
close to the damp ground. He was
afraid to return home. But the longer
he lay there the more uneasy he be-

What was she doing now?-for surely
she had returned home ere this.
And so the hours wore away and dark
