WHAT MONEY COULD NOT BUY.

How long do We stop here, con-
ductor?"
About an hour, | am afraid, sir;
the freight ahead is pretty badly
wrecked, and it will take some time
to clear the track"
The passengers grumbled, and
talked about double tracks," as de-
layed passengers mostly do, but John
Pendleton thought it was fun to stop
out in the deep woods for an hour,
John, being a city boy, thought the
woods a fine place.
please let me go out, papa" said
John; 81 want to play wild Indian a
while"
Don't get out of the sound of my
war whoop, then said his father;
mind, now; keep close to the car"
1t was more fun because it was
getting dark rapidly; and it was cas-
Ter to pretend that Indians were hid
den behind the trees, and panthers
and wolves lurking in the shadows
But in few minutes John was back
at the car window.
Father" he said, 81 can see a lit
tie cabin through the trees; they
have just lighted a lamp in it; may I
run over to it? I want to see who
lives there?"
His father consulted his watch. 81
can give you thirty minutes he
said; here, take my watch along,
and don't be minute later than half
an hour in getting back"
John dropped the watch in his
pocket and sped away through the
trees. When he reached the door of
the log cabin, he stopped a minute.
What excuse had he for knocking at
the door?
I'm real, sure enough thirsty"
said the breathless runner. "Ill ask
for drink of water" He raped
loudly.
Come in" said a voice in tones Of
surprise, and he opened the door
There was only one person in the
cabin, black boy about Johns size,
and he was laid up in bed
1t did not take our young traveller
long to get his drink. nor to find out
that his father was a wood chopper,
and that he himself had had his leg
broken by d falling tree some weeks
before.
Daddy generally gets home by
this time" said Jake, but l reckon
he's gone to de sto' to git some Wet
uals. Nanny she cooks for de Har.
rison's bout mile from here, and she
ain't git home till arter supper"
you must be awfully lonely
said John.
Z amt mind it so much in day
time" said Jake, ''but that one hour
arter it gifts dark is wus an all de
res
John felt his heart swell with pity
for the poor, bed-ridden boy. Wha
could he do for him? He had onh
a few minutes to spend i he had M
money in his pocket, but he took on
a handsome knife, and his sill
pocket handkerchief
Here, jake he said, keep thes
to remember me by"
AS he passed them over to the bed
the shadow from the little lamp Jak
had lighted threw great picture o
his hand on the wall.
20 look herei" cried John, cd
you know how to make a wolf
head? Put your two hands together
so, thumbs up; now curl the thre
fingers of your left hand a littl
(only little), and stretch you
fourth finger wide; now, move it u
and down-see?"
The lame boy burst into a merr
laugh, as the shadow Of a wolf
head. with a moving jaw, fell upo
the white wall.
