You go git some sapper,now; an', ma, don't worry; I 'mgoin' to take keer of you all! Only—only," he added, wearily, ^'I guess Ican't sleep in the wagon to-night."Slowly the hours passed until midnight.Mrs. Wiggs had pulled Jim'scot close to the stove, and applied vigorousmeasures to relieve him. Her effortswere unceasing, and one afteranother the homely country remedieswere faithfully administered.o'clock he grew restless.At twelve^ ^Seems like I 'm hot, then agin I 'mcold," he said, speaking with difficulty.26

The three little girls lay huddledunder one old quilt, their facespale and sunken. She turned awayabruptly, and looked toward the cornerwhere Billy slept on a pallet. Theblankets on his bed were insufficienteven for him. She put her hands overher face, and for a moment dry sobsconvulsed her. The hardest grief ispften that which leaves no trace. Whenshe went back to the stove she had asmile ready for the sick boy.**Here 's the very thing,'' she said;^^it 's my dress skirt. I don't need it amite, settin' up here so clost to the fire.See how nice it tucks in all 'round ! 'For a while he lay silent, then hesaid: *^Ma, are you 'wake?"*^Yes, Jim."27
