"Why, It's .Dicky," and he went
quickly to the door. "Come ifn,
Dickey. Why, what Is the matter,
my boyT" . Jf;
"Nobody called on me, and 1
have been ' home ' all - afternoon."
And again tears i flowed down his
cheeks. 'I guess you thought I
was too poor and you would not
ask me." . .1 U - .y -.
"There now, Dickey, it is my
fault," -said Deacon Brown. ; "I
took your Card out, for I thought
you had enongh to do to help
your mother." jf 1-
"Ain't I a member?" said
Dickey " ' ; - - '
".Yes, yes. You come over here
to the table and! Ill help you. I
win - canvass you j myself, and do
It tight now." . -.

Dickey and explained the card
and told him what it meant. Each

misunderstand It. ; In fact it Waa
