You can’t bring your fath e r th a t way,” scolded his mother. “Yes, come along, Billie Bob,” said Aunty Nell Chapman, “and I ’ll play cars w ith you.” “ Is he always like this Mrs. Morehouse when his fath er is away?” Aunty Nell, as th e little boy called her, was an elderly friend who had come a short tim e before to stay w ith the fam ily as a companion and helper, and little B illie Bob had already learned to love her. “Billie Bob is always like th is when Will is gone. I never saw a man so devoted to a child, and as for Billie Bob, he simply worships his father. I suppose I m ight be jealous if I w;ere not so busy w ith lots of o ther things, and have no tim e to give to th e child myself. W ill reads to him, tells him stories and plays w ith him, till I tell him he is nothing bu t a big boy him self.” Mrs. Morehouse spoke pettishly. Billie Bob relu ctan tly left th e window, and dutifully started his tra in around the track , bu t in th ree m inutes” tim e he was on his feet again and a t the window. “The tro lley ’s stopped a t our corner, and it m ust be papa,” happily called the little fellow. “Well, I certainly hope so,” said his mother. | | | “Yes, yes, it’s papa, may I go to meet him? Open the. door, please.” In his excitement he rushed to the door and pounded on it w ith small fists. A lready steps were h eard coming up the flight of steps leading to tb e house, and as th e door was thrown open and the ligh t flashed on, little Billie Bob flung him self upon the man standing there, calling out, “ Papa, papa, why did you stay so long?” But it was a strange voice th a t replied, “ I ’m afraid I made a m istake in the house, and th is little fellow has m istaken me for his papa. I was looking for my sister’s house, and I see, since you tu rn ed on th e ligh t th a t it is probably next door. . In the darkness I could not see th e num ber from the walk. Sorry to disappoint the youngster, b etter luck next tim e,” he called to Billie Bob, who ran back into the house when he found out his m istake. When th e two women retu rn ed to the lib rary they found the little boy sobbing as if his h ea rt would break. “ I never saw anyone look so much like W ill Morehouse,” said Aunty Nell, as she took th e child in h er m otherly arm s and strove to com fort him. She let him have his cry out, and then softly sang to him. She had a wonderfully sweet and com forting voice, and Billie Bob loved to h ear h er. He said not ano ther word about his fath e r and soon, tire d out, dropped off to sleep; la ter when h e was helped to bed he scarcely wakened during th e process, so completely worn out was he from his tense watching. “ I cannot th ink what is keeping W ill,” said Mrs. More house a half hou r later. “He said he would be back yester day, or a t least th is morning. They are to have th a t m eet ing o f th e church board tonight, and W ill is to tu rn over the funds for th e new building. They have already le t the contract to a firm th a t is to begin a t once. I ’ll be glad when they get th e new building; the old one is so shabby I’m ashamed of it. There goes th e ’phone, I suppose it’s one of those tiresome tru stees asking for Will. I wish he’d come home and attend to his own affairs.” Saying th is she reached the ’phone and wearily took down th e receiver. Aunty Nell sat in her chair poking into

The Two Genealogies of Jesus By J. C. Stillion
We are sure this is the book you have been looking for this long time.. No one need ever ask why two gen ealogies— one in Matthew and one in Luke and so differ ent— if they have this book a t hand for refenence.
