(Continued from page 2.> The little white-haired woman placed the cake by his side on a little table that stood close to him, then she took a chair by him. “My dear,” she said, gently, “I haven’t asked you about your past life. I was willing to trust you- I viiew you had a good mother. I had faith in you, and—my boy—” Her voice trembled. “There is One who can make you whole.” “Me?” he cried. “Yes,” said the quiet voice- “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as wool. He can make you what you ought to be. Listen, on this, your birthday, I’m going to pray for you, and—shall we kneel togeth er?” Without a word the boy knelt, and up from that little room there went such a prayer as that boy had never heard before in all his life. Such a pleading cry for strength and peace and pardon. It sank into his soul and rested there. The voice ceased. The boy lifted his head. There on the little table stood the beautiful birthday cake, glistening in its coat of icing. There by his side was the little white-haired woman with her eyes of trust. His friend— she had taken him in, she had trust ed him, she had prayer for him. For the first time In years a prayer rose to his lips, and as he whispered it, the desire for the old life fell away like a worn-out garment- Never again could it drag and pull him from the paths wherein his feet were set. Some one had remembered that even he had a birthday. Some one had been kind to him. Some one had prayed for him. He looked up, meeting the kind, wistful eyes. He rose to his feet “You needn’t be afraid,” he said, huskily. “The anchor will hold.”— Selected. THE ECUADOR BLANKET TREE. Blankets grow on trees in Ecuador, and while the Idea of an all-wood- fresh-from-the-forest bed covering might give insommia and a backache to the child of civilization who likes to snuggle comfortably under several layers of down and wool, the natives find it all right, as in fact it is. When an Ecuador Indian wants a blanket he hunts up a demajagua tree and cuts from it a five or six-foot sec tion of the peculiarly soft, thick bark. This is dampened and beaten until the fiexibdlity of the sheet is much In creased. The rough, gray exterior is next peeled off, and the sheet dried in the sun. The result is a blanket, soft, light and fairly warm, of an at tractive cream color. It may be roll ed into a compact bundle without hurt, and with ordinary usage will last for several years.—Harper’s Weekly. BOYS WHO BEGAN WORK EARLY. As a general proposition, the boys of this world who became much as men began work very early in life. They had no lazy bones in them, and as soon as they had strength and knowledge to do something helpful, they wished to be up and at It. At six years of age Benjamin Franklin was dipping molds for can dles. He wrote in his after life: “It was uncommonly hard work for my age, but it kept me busy, and I was content with it.” At the same age, Elias Howe, who was to give the sewing machine to the world, was sticking wire teeth through leather straps used for card ing cotton. He earned the first mon ey for his education in that man ner. At six Peter Cooper, one of the greatest philanthropists the nation has known, began earning money by pulling hair from rabbit skins. John Ericksson, who invented the monitor type of fighting ship, from which the modern submarine boat has been evolved, before he was eleven years old, with a file, gimlet, and jack-knife as his only tools, had made a miniature saw-mill. It was a marvel of ingenuity. He used an old watch-spring for a saw blade, while a broken bit of a tin spoon turned the crank. Thomas Edison was a newsboy on the trains when he was twelve years old. During the hours when he was not on duty he fitted up a small labo ratory in the corner of a baggage car, and there made his earliest experi ments. He was reading and digest ing at the same time that ponderous but valuable work, Fresenlus’s “Qual itative Analysis.”—Boys’ World.
