Weary Skies poked his head past
the half-open door of the closet eau
tiously, timorously, with some anxiety.
His questioning eye fell upon Nellie
Wayne. She smiled reassuringly.
"You can come out" she announced.
"They searched the barn and have
gone on"
"Bless your spoke the frowsy, thin
faced, limping hobo. Miss, you de-
serve what read on your gate post"
Read on the gate post?" repeated
Nellie vaguely II am afraid / don't
understand you."
"Why, you know there's an order
out to arrest all the tramps that come
to the town. They got after me, MISS"
and Weary Skies looked actually pa
thetic. Il managed to distance them,
but it nigh did me out. You see, am
sick, and am just out of the hospital
and / couldn't do road work, and they
would give me thirty days in the ca
boose, and I've got to get home be-
fore l die, which the doctors say
will be soon."
"YOu poor man." said Nellie, her
gentle eyes dewy and sympathetic.
"You need not worry about the con-
stables. Father will be home soon
and / will see that he gets you safely
away from town. You must be tired
and hungry. Sit down in that easy
chair and rest, and 1 will get you
nice lunch. Oh! but about the read
ing on the gate post?'
Hobo signs, MISS" replied Weary,
but Nellie still looked perplexed.
"You see," he went on, "as l was
scurrying along, looking for a place
to hide, l saw on the bottom of the
gate-post in red chalk three marks.
One is an x, another an o and the
third an I"
"And who made them?" asked Mel
lie.
"Oh, any old tramp that you'd been
kind to, just as you are to me-" an
swered Weary gratefully. "He marked
down the record, so that any brother
hobo coming past would know that q
real angel lived in this here home"

but was pleased. With vast sigh Of
