IT was one of Scarecrow's poorest !
days. They were all poor. 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.) Journal.
