“And Jean and Jimmy, too.” “Say, little kid, what’s your name?” he asked, merrily, as he routed a great white cat from his own chair and placed it before the fire for the child. Up, up Billy climbed.

“Well, he ain’t dead; he’s alive and bully, with a wad that bulges. I’m going to take you to him.” He felt his mother start. “You’re too young for hard work, Billy; you do enough as it is.” Job, his ardor undampened by the strangeness of this reception, made haste to follow. “Only for a day, dear. I’ll be back to-night.”.
