The PiOus BOarder.

1t was one OF those cheaper board
ing houses on the north side in Chi
cage and the boarderS soon noticed
that the newest boarder had a very
regular habit.
At each meal, as he came in, he
would stand behind his chair for a
moment, look down at the table and
say 1.-THE Book of Hebrews, thirteenth
chapter, eighth verse;" Then he
would proceed to do justice to the
meal. d n u
This continued for several weeks,
during which time the newest boarder
continued the habit, the other board
ers remarking soto voice, what a
deeply DELICIOUS young man he was.
Then, one day, a boarder happened
to note that the young man always
said the same thing: "The Book of
Hebrews, thirteenth chapter, eighth
verse" Out of curiosity, this boarder
looked up the reference to see if it
had any significance.
