There 1 were seldom many errands to do. : and never, never enough to eat. J When a boy is onlj* ten and lives all ' by himself in the dreariest attic in ; the dreariest tenement in the very, t very dreariest alley in a great city, i and when the errands fail?well, is it f anr wonder a boy sets downhearted? 1 Scarecrow was downhearted. The i Invalid in the other attic across the bit f of a hallway had not heard him whis- i tie for three days. She could hardly t have imagined beforehand how she t would , miss the shrill, cheery sound. When Scarecrow whistled it seemed i to make it easier for her to draw the > needle through the stiff white cloth f with 'her thin, weak fingers. "Poor little fellow, he's a-dreadin' i Bavin' her come home. No wonder he 1 &n't whistlin'!" the invalid mused. Was that what Scarecrow was j dreading? Or was it something else? t There were so many things to bread, i He crept downstairs again and out 1 fhiNmgh the noisome alleyway to a s cornefS^n one of' the busy streets. < There h^waited on listlessly. It was t almost nig&^when his good luck came. - "Errand, m'teter? Gotter errand rer n feller? Ivin v<^run? gimme a try! i On'y a fiver to go a nyle?dat's de bar- ? gnin price." * 1 "Eh, eh, what's that?" f The looming figure half InltrVfin^ 1 looked down absently into the anxious T face. Then it went on. Scarecrow 1 ran along beside it. "Gotter errand, niister?say?" i "Oh. you want a job, eh? That's it." < "Yes, sir?wot'll yer bet I does! De 1 doctor has prescribed a dose er vittles 1 fer me stummicli. Ob. say, mister, 1 mister! Gimme a job!" The figure slackened its pace againi i "But I haven't any job?well, well, lei's see. Come with me. I suppose you might run on ahead with the lit- i - ? i tie cnap s greens. At a florist's up the street he bought 1 a load of trailing green vines and cheap bright flowers and put them 1 in the boy's hands. 1 "Take them to Chandler street?one ' hundred and seven. Here's a quarter, i Now run! the sooner you get there J the better." < Scarecrow gazed through a screen of vines at the silver lying on his 1 grimy little palm. It took on euor- ' mous proportions and twinkled gloriously, wealthily. ' "1 aim goi no cimn^r?i xuus i-uj for a fiver," lie muttered. < The man towering above hhn ' laughed good-naturedly. "Well, run this one 'fer* a quarter. It's worth it?it isn't any common er- j rand," he said. And his face as he 1 strode away was radiant with a sud- < den joyful remembrance. No. no, this was no common errand! This was i an errand out'of a hundred?a thousand! 1 The man smiled joyously. In another minute Scarecrow felt his hand ou his shoulder again, and another silver quarter dropped through the vines into the small brown hand. "It's worth it. Off with you!'' The ' man laughed. It did not occur to him to distrust the tattered little messenger. He was not in a distrustful mood. At Chandler street, 107, the lights , were all lighted. It seemed to be a regular illumination. Scarecrow could see through the unshaded windows a big, bright room, that seemed full and running over with ea^er-faced little boys. Tall boys?short boys?curly boys-straight boys?and one little kilted boy who danced wildly about. One, two, three?Scarecrow counted boys. There were sis of them! And what was this they were doing? The little street boy stood watching them outside. "W-e-l-c-o-m-e," he spelled slowly to himself, as one by one the big green paper letters were tacked up over the mantel in tlie big, bright room. The word, complete, meant nothing definite to Scarecrow. He puzzled over it curiously. Then he knocked loudly at the door beside the window. A troop of boys answered the knock with a headlong rush. "Oli. oh! it's the flowers!?Daddy's sent 'em! A boy's brought 'em!" "The flowers have come!" "An' the smile-axel!" "They're red an* pink an' yellow? an' they smell?my!" "Goody, goody?hooray!" In an instant little Scarecrow's arms were empty, and the rush back to the bright-lighted room had begun. Scarecrow plucked tlie sleeve of the rear boy boldly and whispered: "Say, wot's do game?" he asked eagerly. "Wot's dein letters in dere spoil out:" "Why. don't you know?" the little j fellow exclaimed in astonishment, j "They spell 'Welcome,' because moth! or's coming home to-morrow. To-mori row morning?yes, sir-ree! They've j cured lier *t the hospital, and she's coming home. We've got pieces to speak, and singing, and we're going to drape the picture with vines and flow ors. I tell you there's times, when your inot.hoi' comes lioine!" Little Seareerow crept away in the tlnrkuess. Kvcu tlie bright silver quarters clinked, unheard, in his pocket. He was thinking. | There are "times"?! tell you!? \ vhcn your mother comes home. That s what Scarccrow was thinking. Scarecrow's mother was' coming "* ^ TT?,1 +J1DV ! ionic, TOO, lo-iliurruw. Iiau 'cured" Lor at tliat great, grim hospital for sick souls, over there? All it once Scarecrow remembered someLing. She was coming out weeks wlier, because of "good behavior," hey said. Some one had told him. Scarccrow was conscious suddenly of X'ing proud of his mother. He had lever been proud of her in his life before. "Dey're goin' to let her out sooner Uong o' her bebaviu' good," he murnured, a little glow warming his thin, >rown cheeks. "Oh, I say, mebbe"? lis voice quavered excitedly?"mebbe ley'se cured her!" But there would be no preen and lowers or "welcome" on the wall. The jtter contrast smote Scarecrow like i dull blow. He stopped in the street md sobbed in sudden compassion. There would be no vines, no flowers, 10 singing?no anything?when Scarecrow's mother came home. That other mother would have them all. Then the silver coins clinked re^nindngly. They bore inspiration straight ,'rom the tattered pocket of despondent Scarecrow to his brain under the tatered cap. Fifty cents will "carry" i great way sometimes, and it was Scarecrow's trade to carry things, riierc were the odds and ends of | rreens and the half wilted flowers that j lie florist let him have cheap; there ,vere the buns and sausages and the ea?and the bit of sugar and milk. Ie carried them all home to the attic n the dreary alley. All the way up- j >tairs, flight after flight, Scarecrow i vhistled. Across the dark hallway he invalid woman took up her neelle again and smiled. "Maybe she ain't comin' home ai'tcr , ill?then I dou't wonder he feels like j vhistlin'," she thought. 4,It's dread- i ul good to hear him again!" The little attic was swept and polshed and decorated with the treasures rom the florist's. Scarecrow got up it the first ray of daylight to do it. \nd he set out his little feast on the toliln flip nnp little JllJUfe Uiu w.?-. ...? , vindow he nailed a gigantic W that | le had fashioned patiently out of shreds of green. It was crooked and lueer, but It was a W, and It began lie word welcome. He would explain -she would understand. "I wish I could remember de le other letters went," he thought, standing off and eyeing the solitary | etter wistfully; "but I'll tell her wot it , itan's for, an' how she's welcome lome again, and when she comes in fe^poor I'll set up an' whistle, loud. Datlh^^e singin'." It was midway in the dull,wet mornng when the mother of little Scare- j ;row came home. Sore-hearted and lopeless, with the brand ofNBhame on ler forehead, she dragged listl?&fly up :lie stairs, flight after flight. sh?s*nd DCen gOOU ' over uu iue isiuuu, uu?. 10W--? "I say!" It wns Scarecrow od the upper land ng, nodding cheerfully. His little I Drown, lean, hungry face was elate with pride. "Yer come along in an' look, wiH rer!" he cried, exultantly, hurrying her i oefore him. "It stan's fer 'Welcome,' see??it's de first letter. I couldn't spell de rest. An' de flowers an' vines xn' de vittles?dey all stan's fer 'Welcome.' " . , Then the boy's lips pursed into a whistle, and the ^noie aecorateu ntue xttic was filled with shrill music. A moment the mother gazed?for a moment she listened uncomprehendingly. Then, with understanding, irose something sweet and warm in ( lier calloused breast, and she caught little whistling Scarecrow in her arms. The music stopped when she kissed (dm. He could never remember to have been kissed before,and the.proph?sy of better things was in the strange, warm touch on his lips. The faith of a little child and the love of a mother were born then, and the squalid little attic blossomed into a home. It would be easier to "be good" after that.?The Interior. A Cat That Kills Snakes. Miss Ruby Fleming, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George M. Fleming, of this place, has a cat that ,is not only a fine i raouser. but has developed a penchant j to kill snakes. This cat is a very fine ' one and wears ribbons and bells, through the pettish scheme of Miss Ruby. One day last week she heard the bells / ringing vigorously. She went to' the door and saw a fight in the yard shrubbery going on between | the cat and a very large moccasin snake. The snake would dart its head at the cat and she with her foot would knock the head of the snake to one side every time. Finally the. cat grabbed the snake by the back of the neck and shook it considerably. Mr. Fleming then came to the rescue and Kiueu xue enase wuu u. buck, a iuw (lays after, the bells on the cat began to ring again In the front yard. Miss Fleming went out and found that the cat was in another combat with a huge snake. The cat put the .snake to rout, and as the snake nttemptcd to run in at the door Mr. Fleming killed it also with a stick. This is a remarkable cat and one we would like to own.?Marietta (On.)
