The little fellow was very fond of music. One day he was out in the fields and a fiddler came on. The little boy had his old suit on that day. The fiddler played on and a lady appeared. She looked at the boy seamened his coat and found the Saved Heart Badge.
The child was hers. She wet with [them] him to his foster parents, gave them a large sum of money for taking care of him and took her little son with her.
