“Billy! My—boy!” Mrs. Bennett bent over him; and he felt a tear where her cheek touched his. “I b’lieve Moses’ll eat jelly-roll some day till he rolls up hisself. I’m orful hungry, can I hev some fresh bread?” Moses, his feelings by this time wrought to a state of down-right rebellion, grasped a pail in either hand and sought the peaceful atmosphere of the river. “Yes, Mr. Brown,” he answered, keeping his face from sight..
