wCOMMY had been Iooking for-
ard to'" his birthday for
weeks and weeks.
Not that he expected to
have a party or. a lot of nice gifts,
because he didn't. His daddy had
been Ill for so long that 'it had
beep nip and tuck to stretch the
money far enough, to pay the bills,
and Tommy knew that unless his.
,mother had helped out by sewing,
there would not have 'been enough
sometimes to pay the rent and
the doctor,
So Tommy who was a manly
little chap, was quite ready to be
happy just because he was to be
six years old Id place of five. And
now that the day had come, he had
been remembered after all.
Even before breakfast, a lovely
bouquet of fragrant and beautiful
pink roses was brought In to him,
by the old lady next door, They
were in a wonderful old blue and,
whit° handled pitcher.
"There,", said the old. lady, "that
pitcher belonged to my mother and
I want you to have it. It will be
worth a not of money some day,
for It is a real antique --and in
the meantime, you can use it for
your milk when the Sowers have
wilted."
° And right, after breakfast, the
quiet little lady who lived on the
other side, called Tominy and
handed him a package, When he
