A bright color glowed in Tode's cheek, and a bright fire sparkled in his eye. "I know him," he said, briefly and earnestly. "Now, do you, though?" said the little old lady, as eager and earnest as himself, "and do you pray to him?" Tode gravely bowed his head.
I ain't going to keep doing it all night. I vote for one good warm nap, I do so here goes." And Tode went straightway to the land of dreams. The night wore on, the restless traveler near the stove dozed and wakened and attended to the dampers, thereby all unknowingly contributing his mite to Tode's warm journey.
Will you serve him while you live on earth that you may live in heaven to serve him forever?" From Tode's inmost soul there came answers to these solemn questions: "I will, I will, I will."
Wiser brains than Tode's would doubtless have smiled at the old lady's original and perhaps untheological way of interpreting the truth; but he drank it in, and drew nearer to the true meaning of it than perhaps he would had it been learnedly explained. "I never thought about it before in my life," he said, gravely. "And so that's heaven? And there ain't any trouble there I heard Mr.
Birge knew very well that opportunities to do the work which had been let slip, nine years before, came rarely to any man. And he was glad, and he was going to be very wary and wise, therefore he drew forth his pocket-book. "Now what am I to pay you for this excellent lunch?" "Nothing, sir." And Tode's cheeks fairly blazed with joy. "Nothing!" answered the astonished customer. "Yes, sir, nothing.

The doctor and the bishop were both beside him at the moment and he glanced from one face to the other in a vague, doubtful fashion.

"How can you when his mother's so good to Little Brother?" "Don't care 'f she is. He ain't," was Tode's surly reply. "He don't want you'n him to stay there." Nan's eyes were full of uneasiness.
In the beginning the boys patronised him partly from curiosity and partly from good fellowship, but Nan's cookery found favour with them at once, and "Tode's Corner" soon became the favorite lunch counter for the city newsboys, and Tode's pockets were better filled than they had been since Mr. Carey's death.
"Not a bit of it; you keep enough of that stuff for you and me, too." "And where might you be going to make your coffee?" "I ain't going to make it until I get a place to put it," was Tode's brief reply. "Do you want to rent that stone, or not, that's the question? and the quicker you tell me, the quicker I'll know." "Well, how much will you pay for it?" "Just as little as I can get it for."
