He looked long and earnestly at a tin-type representing a plump, velvet-coated, mop-haired boy of twelve. He sighed deeply.,Mr. Crump indulged in an unusual hobby, the collection of old musical instruments, and a motley group it was that Moses eyed with growing wonder.,“She said, the Queen of Sheba did, that I’d be in danger, and some one would save me. And I’d have a s’prise, and a hus—husband, and fi-five c-chil— children!” She wailed again and hid her face on Mrs. Bennett’s shoulder.,“Train? Is she going away?” The small girl’s face grew sorrowful.，The pictures that followed were of fairies and sprites irresistible to childish minds.，At this moment the dining-room door opened and the daughter of the house entered the room.，Yet only a part of the long day went to study.
