perhaps she would tell me how to ge:

Kid crept from under the seat and
stood up, and coming toward him down
the aisle was a man. Kid thought he
wore a queer looking costume, and he
lodged back of the seat, but the man
had seen him and there was no use in
trying TO run away, beside that Kid
was not at all sure that he wished to
get away.
rs this your house?" asked Kid.
when the man came UP to him.
NO, my SON" he replied. this is the
house of God"
Kids heart leaped for joy. that was
the name of the one the Salvation
Army people told him about, who loved
everybody and helped them.
IF YOU please" said Kid. II should
like TO see Him
The good man looked at Kid very
earnestly, and then he said: ''If you
will tell me what you wish to see Him
about, | am sure can help you
Kid told him about the watch and
that he felt sure the lady lived there,
as the baby in the big picture was very
much like the picture In the watch
And If this is Gods house." said Kid
Il thought He might be the father and
forgive me. 1 am very sorry that 1

The good man took Kid by the hand.
Come with me-" he said. you are for

Kid was given a good supper. and for
the first time in his life he slept in a
real bed.
The next day the good man found the
owner of the watch, and when she heard
Kids story, she forgave him.
Kid was placed in a school, where he
learned to be a good boy. as we'll as to
be studious, and he soon forgot the old
life. He grew to be a man of whom
any mother could have been proud. But
the only mother Kid ever knew was
the mother of the little boy in the pic
tGre, which he cherishes as thing
sacred in his life.

ter-and it seemed to Kid that the whole
world was crying stop thief and was
chasing him.
After a while the noise grew fainter
and fainter and he stopped and looked
back. There was not a person in sight.
Kid looked around him. All the houses
were large with clean stone steps in
front of them. Kid sat down on the
bottom step Of one of these houses and
looked at his treasure.
He held il to his ear and heard Its

sparkling stones on the case. He opened
II and watched the little hands move,
then he opened the back part. and there
was the picture of baby, little
boy, Kid thought. Around its chubby
face were curls, and its eyes were large
and earnest looking. Kid sat gazing at
II for some minutes, wondering who 1t
was When he looked up he saw
large building across the street with
yteeple on it. and on the top of that
cross
The door of the building was open.
and after a while Kid walked across the
street and up the long, wide steps.
He went in and looked cautiously about.
It was still and no one was to be seen.
There were two doors. and Kid went
to one of them and pushed 1t open. He

for he did not suppose that anything SO

There were rows and rows of seats,
and at the very end of the big room Kid
saw a light. He walked down one of
the aisles to where the little flame was
burning and stood in front of the altar
Kid locked at everything with a feel
ing of awe, but he had not the slightest
idea of what it all meant, and he Won

There were pictures on the wall and
Kid came to one of a sweet-faced lady,

who seemed to have grown on
N streets of the big city where he
lived.
He never remembered a mother or a
father and no one ever took care oil
him" His first remembrance was of an
old woman who gave him a crust OF
bread, and he slept in the corner OF
her room. One day they carried her

a doorway or an alley.
Bv selling papers he managed to get
enough to eat, and if he did not have

he saw many other children that were
in the same condition and he did not
suppose that anyone ever had enough
to eat or a warm place to sleep every
night.
Kid went into the Salvation Army
meetings when they held them in his
neighbolhood. because it was place
where the wind did not blow. and while
he heard them sing and talk about
some one who loved everybody and

One day Kid saw lady who was too
we'll dressed to belong in his part of the
city, and he followed her, thinking that
she might have a pocket-book he could
take. The opportunity did not offer
itself, however, and before Kid realized
Il he was in a part of the city he had
never seen before.
The buildings we're tall and the streets
much cleaner than where he lived. Kid
walked along, looking in windows Of
the stores, when he noticed lady
