Now try and sloop :t bit, and when you vnkc up I will make you some, nice sort toaht and wo will havo tea together." Tenderly drawing the bed cover up over tho shoulders of the old lady and smoothing her pillow, Ruth stepped softly to tho kitchen and alnking Into a low chair burled her face hi her apron mid sobbed bitterly She know her grandmother could live, but a few days at tho most. The dear, helpless, old lady had passed her ninety-seventh birthday, and now It wns only n step lo the beyond where all sorrow and rare would cease. But this was not all tho cloud that darkened Ruth's sky. Poor child! so young and frail to boar such a heavy burden 1 Drawing it from her pocket, sho rond for tho hundredth time, per haps, that crumpled letter: "Dear Kulh: I hiii more than ashamed to beg you to help me out ot another scrape, but I swear It you can fix me out Ibis time, it shall be the last.

"It was years ago ono cold night ii tall Your grandpa and I lived tight heio, Just as ou and 1 do nnd the wind howled Just ns It duos to night perhaps that Is what made me loinombcr that and . There came sound of music out under that old liouwood tree; it oamo nearer, and O.

We took him In and put him to bed; I gueiis you would call him a 'Dago,' mow, but he had a sweet soul. For there was money! The next morning his dark, curly head lay against the pillow so quiet, but his oyos roamed over the room and ho whispered, 'Tho Last Hope! Wind It up.' Your grniulpa wound It, faintly, 'Again!' I was busy In the kitchen mid thought it must be nearly run down; I came in Just ns th6 last sweet strain was dying mid with It wont tho spirit of the llttlo Italian boy. We never knew who ho wns, but wo burled him and took the music box for our own not for general use, but when dark places came we would wind It up ami listen, and It always seemed to comfort us with tho ussiir unco that there was still one moro hope.

Until mudo her way lo the attic and found the unknown, hidden treasure, though her eyes wcro blinded with .tears so thnt she could hardly see. and she shivered and kept repenting. "() what shall I what can I do?" With difficulty she brought tho box down tho narrow stairs, for It was large mid heavy, but It was finally placed on the round, old-fashioned table and wound up.

"I will tako It to I he kitchen and un soew the cover and then I can sure ly find out what is thu matter. You shall havo some moro music, grand mn. Indeed you shall," said Ruth, as she once more lilted the big box und boro II away. Theold scrowB wero loosened with but llttlo trouble, tho cover raised, and there Ruth almost screamed in delight and amazement for there was money! nickels nickels nick els without end! No wonder tho thing was so heavy! She counted; forty-two nickels! and thoro In ono corner was a llttlo leather bag with Just one hundred more! One hundred and forty-two nickels seven dollars und ten cents! "And I have four dollars and eight een cents; eleven dollars nnd twenty eight cents! And It will only tnke ten lo got James out of disgrace nnd bring him home! Poor, little, dead Italian boy! You did nut know how happy your treaburcd nickels would make threo heortB!"
