but l cannot let Alice starve," he
said. "and | will go while she Is
asleep
He could not keep back the tears
when he handed the ring to the pawn
broker.
Whats the matter, kid?" asked
the man, good-naturedly.
Jamie told him as well as he could,
for he was crying now.
The man looked around, to be sure
that no one saw him, for it would
never do to let anyone think he had
a kind heart; then he took quarter
from his pocket and gave it to jamie.
Here's the ring" he said; keep
It,"
Jamie was too surprised to say
anything but THANK you,' and he ran
20 the store and home as fast as he
could.
Alice was awake and crying for
brewer" He gave her some bread
and milk, and then he washed her
face and combed her hair. Then he
put on another dress, which was not
quite so ragged as the one he took
OF.
Alice go OUT she said. But Jamie
did not answer; he was thinking.
Alice went to sleep when it was
dark and Jamie put on his coat and
cap. He then wrapped q shawl around
Alice, and taking her in his arms,
opened the door and went out. He
walked long distance. and when he
came to the part of the city where
the rich people lived he turned into
one of the streets. He looked at the
houses as he went along; one was
more brilliantly lighted than the 9th.
ers. and Jamie went up the steps.
He kissed Alice, who was stin Sleep
ing. and then laid her carefully IN the
vestibule; then he rang the bell and
hurried down the steps. He went
across the street and watched. He
saw the maid open the door: then
several people came, and a lady took
Alice. who was crying by this time
and carried her into the house. 1t
took all of Jamie's willpower to keep
from running across the street when
he heard Alice cry: but when the door
was closed he walked down the street.
Then he stopped. Suppose they
do not keep her." he said, and put
her out IN the cold again or send
her to the orphans home' He went
back and walked up and down IN front
of the house. but the door did not
open again, and he felt sure Alice
had found a home and he went back
to his lonely room. Poor little Jamie!
He cried himself to sleep and then
awoke with a start, thinking he heard
Alice cry.
The next morning he took the few
things that belonged to him and made
a bundle of them and started out. He
knew that the landlord would take the
furniture for rent, and he also knew
that he must find work or starve.
But he could not go away without
knowing If the people with whom he
had left Alice were going to keep her.
He went to the house and rang the
bell
Are you going to keep her?'' he
asked the maid who opened the door.
