He was pleased with her sympathy; but being a boy, he didn’t like to show it. “I’ll tell you,” he said, eagerly, and without further acknowledgment of her kindness, “ask Mr. Brown to give you my books. Perhaps to-night I can see to study.” “There’s Mose allers ready fer a sitdown, a sort of kerlapsible verlise.” “Mosey!”.
