/" IERE was no one at home when
George came in, and all the
doors were locked. George sat
down on the doorstep and waited and
five minutes seemed a very long time.
He began to think that no one was
coming. Maybe they had all gone
away and left him behind.
He had heard his father talk about
going to California. That must be what
had happened. They had all gone to
California. They did not wait for him
to come home, and he had come as fast
as he could. Where was California?
If he knew he would go there, but it
must be farther than he could walk,
because you had to go on the train.
He would never see any Of them again,
of that he was certain. He would new
er play ball with Billy and sister would
never again tell him to wash his ears.
He did not care If she did wash his
ears, he would let her If she were here
now, but she was not here.
She had gone and left him, and what
should he do? But more than all he
thought of his mother, and when he
thought of her he began to cry. The
more he cried the more sorry he felt
for himself and at last, worn out, he
lay down on the porch. Some one
would find him. but maybe he would
be dead by morning and then they
would have to come home from Cali
fornia. because people always came
home when any one died. And then
George fell asleep. His mother came
home and his brother Billy. Sister
came home and so did father, but
George. not having come home, moth
er began to worry.
Then she sent Billy to look for him
and he found him fast asleep on the
side porch. When Billy walked George
up, he said. did you come home from

Come the little children's feet,
Hear their patter and their scurry.
AS they hop and skip and hurry
Dancing down the sunny street.
Children's eyes are shining bright
With the GOODNESS of star light.
For young hearts these sweet joys
capture
AS they gaze with longing rapture,

May they always happy be
When they things of beauty see;
Things that fill the heart with glad

With a most celestial madness.
May they always happy be.

to Trotzky as big man doing a big
job in a big way" So far so good. But
he referred to Trotzky as a big blond of
blue-eyed, Nordic type. Yet persons well
acquainted. with Trotzky, including rep
