Mies Minerva, who had been stand- | ing prim, erect and stiff, fell Nmply into a convenient rocking chair, and looked closely at this orphaned nephew who had come to live with her.

Would you like something to eat before I put you to bed? I saved you some supper.” “Naw'm, I hain’t hongry; the major man what I talk to on the train tuck me in the dinin"room an’ gimme all I could hol’; I jest eat an' eat tell they wan't a wrinkle in me,” was the reply. “He axed me 'Lout you, too. Is he name’ Major Minerva?" She opened a door in considerable confusion, and they entered a small, neat room adjoining. “This is your own little room, Wil- liam,” sald she, “you see it opens into | mine.

A wistful look crossed his childish face as he dropped down in front of her and lald his head against her knee, then the bright, beautiful little face took on an angelic expression as he closed his eves and softly chanted: “Now I lays me down to sleep, ‘, I prays the Lord my soul to keep, ’ 1t 1 should die befo’ I wake, | I prays the Lord my soul to take. } “Keep "way f'om me hoodoo an’ witek, Oh, Lord, I'll set an’ pray an' wait. i an’ # Cindy, an’ Wilkes Booth Lin- coln, an’ Aunt Blue-Gum Tempy's Per- ! uny Pearline, an’ Uncle Jimmy-Jawed \dmiral Farragut Moses ey, ier an’ eviybody, an’ Sam Lamb, | | Minerva, an’ aller Aunt Blue- py's Peruny Pearline’s chil- lens, an’ give Aunt Minerva a billy | goat or a little nannny if she'd ruther, an’ Au “(Continued on page 6.) “Oh.
