sat the door, drawing his rags together and re moring from his feed that interesting salvage of a rubbish heap, which he called his hat, as he did so. The fire in the Mission Room was visible from the street without, and there had been some talk in Hyacinth Court of a young roan, a new teacher, who carried sweats and chestnuts, and other pleasing oddments in his pockets, and was set above dispensing thuse Barthly triflos amorgat gifta of a more spiritual character.

These facts are mentioned for the benefit of lovers of fucts, and net with any underband idea of suggesting a sordid motive as the cause of little Jimmy's wandering into the Mission Rom.

A hyma was being sung us, Jimmy entered the room, and at its conclusion

This vacant place was close to the fire, and the lead of a straggling knot of ragged girls and by, to whom the brown young man was talking, Jinny took the proffered place, and, resting his pointed chin on one odd-looking little hand, leaned forward to listen.
