I've good news for you, Fannie, said the General as he entered the dining-room.

Your boy has come, and come to stay.

Oh, has he? I'm so glad. And she smiled her pleasure.

He's such a nice boy.

He's a brave boy, said her husband with emphasis.

That boy has the grit of a hero. He may come into our kitchen for a time, but, please God, he shan't stay there. I know what he will have to take from those street boys for doing the best he can for his mother and younger brothers and he knows it, too. I saw it in his face just now. The boy that has the moral courage to face insult and abuse deserves to rise, and he shall rise. But, bless me! I'm getting rather excited over it, I see.

Perhaps, Tom, you could shield him a little in the street,

I'll do my best, my dear.
