little Alice sleeping and saw q tear

She had cried herself to sleep from

must be done at once. His mother
had been dead four weeks now. At

and they managed to get along very

the house. but one night his father
did not come home, and then Jamie
was told that the Judge had sent him
away for six months. The fuel was
nearly gone and the food had given
out the day before. Jamie had not
eaten anything but crusts of bread
for two days. He had managed to
get milk for Alice until today, but the
last of the money he had received for
a locket OF his mothers was gone
now.

Jamie. taking it from a corner OF q
