(Continued from Ixist Sunday.)
She smiled us she saw that many
of tho names were those of men
noted for their closeness. Probably
under no other circumstance would
tlmy have subscribed a penny for
(he relief of the unfortunate colored
family, but they could not resist the
frank trust fulness of tho children
who never doubted their willingness
lo help. "And a Utile child shall
lead them," whispered Aunt Sallle
softly to herself ns sho signed her
own name.
"Dears," I will do oil that I can lo
help you," she said gently. "Poor
llltle Napoleon always had a hard
time and we wi do all In our power
that will enable him to return to
school."
"Aunlle, don't you think this Is u
worthy cause?" asked Patience.
"Yes, Indeed, and to have all this
t;ood come from the efforts of you
children makes me very happy, so
happy that I could nlmost forget
Mime things that auntie wishes you
had never done," she answered.
t,ef don't talk ')out the pnt,
Mis fiallle," said Jack. "We'll
make you proud of us tomorrow
and we're going to go after all the
things with my old wagon, so I
KUes they won't go to bed hungry
any more."
"Tho doctor said he'd go up to
day, and we left, our castor oil bot
tle at lhe house for fear they might
need It," said Patience, a little fear
ful, and still anxious that the
change of homes of the hated oil
bottle bo known. However, as the
child spoke low Miss Sallle did not
cat eh the last of her sentence and
In consequence still smiled genially
at the three.
Full of their plans, they could
hardly he patient through school
hours the next day. They ex
changed muny meaning glances
over their books, and so great was
their desire to be at work at the
close of school that they ran every
step of the way home.
Miss Sallle was careful to put In
to tho wagon many substantial
comfort). As she watched the little
procession starting forth to gather
donations, she smiled at the rear
guard r,t the Go Hawks, who walked
a discreet and admiring distance
behind.
"Ijet's play we're soldiers startin'
off to war. There's our army be
hind an I Ibis is our supply wugon,"

"An" we're Red Cross nurses,"
answered Prudence, adopting tho
suggexlion immediately. "We're
going light on the field of battle
where people 're dying."
"I'm taking you to the hospital,
young women, where our brave gen
eral lies dying. That's Napoleon's
mother, you know," explained the
chief.
"We'll make him weJl, "cause
we've had much experience. We've
been In sev'ral war where most
ev'ry one tiled," replied the child.
"The gen'ral is shot In her legs,"
said the chief. "Have you a medi
cine to cure that?"
"We've sent on ahead boih castor

Patience, who hopcil thiH to get rid
of both medicines Willi one blow.
Before other plans cool. I be lull
tilled for the relief of Iho "gen'iul,"
the army reached tho scene of ac
tion. Accenting to arrangi-menl,
tho majority of (io-llawk lined up
across the street and only Jack and
the twins were to enter tho cabin.
They vavro scarcely admitted to the
crumped quarters, where lay Die
"gen'rul" on her lied of pa In, be.
fore Napoleon called excitedly:
"Thing bus been a-cornlii' nil day
an' th' doctor's been here en' medi
cine an' coal un' heaps t' cat
hooray! oh, bully! Hooray!"
"An here's a lot more," an
swered Jack, running out to the
wagon and bringing In an arm loud.
"Say somelhln' t' comfort the
gen'ral, one of you nurses," whls
pered Jack to tho twins, whfl
seemed bashful and inclined to'
bong back. "You'd better pray or
do sorncthln'."
The room seemed full of dusky
face with eye fastened expec
tantly on tho twins, while the rheu
matic "gen'ral" asked, "Did you
chllluns do all this?"
"Yes'm, we did an' there's a lot
more comin', if you have need,"
answered Prudence, approaching
- the bed and eager to follow Jack's
instruction to say something corn-
forting. "We asked the under
taker to give you a coffin If you
died, ao don't worry 'bout that
'cause if you do dlo we Go-llawks'l,'
get up a grand fun'ral."
"What!" gasped the woman in su
perstitious terror at the words of
the child which she feared might
be a warning.
"And I tell you if you do die,"
continued the child cheerfully,
"don't worry 'bout your, children,
'cause I promise you to take them
all homo to my aunt and she'll be
glad to bring them up. She's
bringing me and my sister up and
she'll most likely never hove any
children of her own. so prob'bly
she'd be most delighted to get
yours."
In reply the "general" groaned
aloud, not at all as one would ex
pect of a brave officer, who had no
more serious ailments than being
"Hhot in both legs."
"Hht's perfee'ly styliKh, my Aunt
Sallle is, so your chlldren'll be
brought up Just grand," rum-hided
Prudence as a parting bit of con
sols! Ion.
