The mother stood by the gas jet reading
a scrap of paper incidentally picxed up off
the floor. Through tbeopen door, out from
the shadowy recesses of a small adjoining
room, came a quaint, sleepy little voice:
“Now I lay me down to—to—sleep," and
then a atop, aa tbe little bead of the little
white-robed figure sank deeper and deeper
in tbe cot's side. " Well.” said the mother,
•xgptantly, “Go od, Lily.” “Now-I—
lay—me—down—to—s’eep—s'eep—s'—'”
ieo another stop, and there was no re
sponse to mothsr’a soft “Wel(?” But as
the drowsy little figure in white, with
angel-locked eyes, coddled op on the pillow
where mother's arms placed it. the lips
parted and all-asleep, came the murmured
words, “Dood night, Dod.”
