The lady took him by the hand, went into the store,
and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks
for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a
basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them

She took the little fellow to the back part of the

his little feet, and dried them with the towel.
By this time, the clerk had returned with the
