HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED It is always pleasant to carry good news, and Andy hastened with joyful feet to his mother's humble dwelling.
"Why, Andy, you're out of breath.

What's happened ?" asked Mrs.Burke.
"I was afraid of bein' robbed," said Andy.
"The robber wouldn't get much that would steal from you, Andy." "I don't know that, mother.

I ain't so poor as you think.

Look there, now!" Here he displayed the roll of bills.

There were twenty fives, which made quite a thick roll.
"Where did you get so much, Andy ?" asked his sister Mary.
"How much is it ?" asked his mother.
"A hundred dollars," answered Andy, proudly.
"A hundred dollars!" repeated his mother, with apprehension.
