beard ia t panting voico behind me as i was harrying np park bow late one even- injr i turned and there was tho ragged boy rem whom i had jayt bought a paper rushing after me with inn bundle of papers ondcr his arm and a five dollar cold piece damped tight in his dirty iand you gave me this instead of tuppence he panted as he came dp to me holding out the coin why didnt yon keep t i asked as i took it and felt in my pocixt for some loose change the boy hesitated seemed puzzled for a moment then answered in a hesitating faahiou j i docno bir j his manner showed plainly that the thought of keeping the ooin had flashed through his mind and had been dismissed why he evidently could not eiplain my impulse was to follow the example of the rich raau in the story aud say here my i noble boy keep the money and here is an other fiv as a reward far ycur honesty always remember that honesty is the best policy bat no matter how willing i might have been to let the boy have the pactaey as n reward of virtue my meagre alary as a reporter oompetled me to think twice before i gave five dollars lightly so ti i felt a sort of lazy curiosity to talk further with him i compromised with my- of ly saying do you want to come down to hitchcocks and pit something to ftt he accepted with alacrity and we went down the steps side by bide the nes- g tlherer and tbe newsseller down into the delmouicos of the newspaper man where the reporter pressman newsboy and elitor sit side by side eating such baked u3ans and drinking each j coffee as can be found nowhere else in the city we seated ourselves at one of the wooden tables and as the waiter approached the boy glanecd it mc inquiringly what can i have he asked anything yon want waa my careless reply as i ordered a cap of coffee and a plate of cakes for myself 1 plate of beefnjeans r cup of coffee was his order in response to an inquiring look from the waiter then in an apologetic tone as be turned to me im sort o sharp set i didnt have nothin for dinner cept a uapplo eat fcuyou can ill pay for it i said rapidly becoming interested in tho boy what is your name i inquired while we were waiting for the arrival of our order patoy patsy what what is your last name i pursued i donuo i guess i didnt have no last name the boys used to call me patsy trib cause i used ter sell the tribune mow i bell all the papers i guess ef they called me that way my name would be too long to aay it all in one day our supper came and for a few minutes he was too busy making wiy with the beans to answer my question as soon as there waa a lull iu the knila snfl fork exerciso i sow long have yon been a newsboy 41 brer since i can remember waa tho laconio reepouae as hejwrecued with piece of gristle do you live with you father and mo ther i continued pauy gave a abort laugh 1 used tp think i never had any lather and niothe anyhow i never remember em the first thing i remember waa livin in a cblkr down in gherry street and a aeuin papers for old hag what kept a sand over in front of tie scakta zeltung prttty won i foand tbi otfier uuers was ma kin money and i waa givin all mine to mag so i skipped you have been working for yourself siuce7 yes seilin papers blackin boot and runnin errands ive got ten dollars saved up iu tho newsboys home i live there now im bavin up so as to go off and work on a farm do you think youd like that know i would i like horses and cows and thoy like me i worked in tho car stables one time when a fellef was sick i was rapidly becoming interested in the the boy he could nothave been over four teen he hod the sharp features the quick look and the nonchalant manner of speech which characterize the street arab but with it he had something more a clear gray eye and an honest way of looking one btraightin the face when he spokei and a frankness of manner which had not yet been lost by the adverse circumstances with which he was surrounded but i waa ou duty and had already spent too much time with him so giving him a dollar with injunction to add it to his sav- inga i loft lum for perhaba six mouths i saw him every day on park row and nassau street and occasionally stopped to ask him how his bank account was getting on or to buy a paper he always answered respectfully and evidently regarded me with much awe for i overheard him telling one of his com panions one day j thats a reporter he is he took me down to hitchcocks one night and treated me xo coffee and beans just as if 1 was au editor i passed ou with a smile at the boys idea of reportorial aud editorial courtesy aud as time wore on i masveonfea that the interest i had felt in the boyjwas grad ually crowded out of my mind in that sli arp- struggle for existence which lathe lot of the average journalist late one nigbft i was sitting in the city room of the paper on which i was employ ed just thinking of going home when the sharp ring of the telephone bellaroused my attention the night city editor sprang to the instrument and after aew moments conversation he turned to me and said mr deming run up to the chambers street hospital aud find out about the wo man who jumped into the river i hear from police headquarters that a woman and a boy were rescued by the police boat and taken to the hospital see what there is in it it was a bitter night and my temper wa by no means improved by the occa sional flurry of sleet which dashed into my face or the gusts of wind which caught the long tails of my ulster and twisted them aroond my les making locomotion diffi cult when i reached the hospital i found oat briefly that an unknown woman had jumped from the pier at the foot of maiden lane that a newsboy had jumped after her and endeavored to save her bat that had it not been for the opportune arrival of the police boat both would have perished as it was the woman was insensible and probably would not live the boy was getting on wejl what is the womans name i in quired looking up from my notes shes insensible and we cant tell was the answer u what is the boys name i pursued lie calls himself patay trib patsy trib i exclaimed can i see him v i was taken into the ward and there on a clean white cot lay my young friend he was cleaner than i had ever seen him before for it must be admitted that clean liuess was not one of patsys virtues i went to his bedside well patsy how do you like swim ming in january i said he turned his head and looked up at me the boy seemed really handsome now that his face was washed and his hair combed tell me ahont it i continued well you see i was down on the dock aud the first thing i see was the woman a walkin to the end when she got there she looked in the water and i couldnt rightly bay whether she fell in or jumped anyhow over she went and i soused in after her she grabbed me round the neck and if it hadnt been for the oops wed both a been goners bat are yoa goin ter in terview me he added i smiled assent and will my name be in the paper yes 0 jlmniiny he exclaimed with a gleam of mischief in his eyes oar re porter called upon mr patay trib in the chambers street hospital and after a hearty welcome from that well known chap the following conversation ensued is that the kind he added laiighing i didnt think id ever git my name in the paper im a seilin a few niinutee more oonrersation aud i was obliged to return to the office i took good care to tend paper to patay the next day and he had the pleasure of seeing bis name in print i callftdto see tine boy several timet and just aday or two before the doctors said he waa w enongh toi leave an oldunck of mine bom the conn try came into tboffloe to see me after the usual greetings he said doubtfully i dont spoae you know of any iood boy i can get to work oat on the farm im about bicvcaf hired tow and if i could get a good ioy rd giw him a home and treat him tighi i luiow of just mevi replied in tinfly ll l i dont want ujzbt teii suoh a one from the newsboys home and rogue you novcr eco but mine is different and 1 briefly rhated what i knew of patsy as i con cluded i saw my uncle was touched and i added a few words of- recommendation of my own ill take him if holl coraei exclaimed tho old gentleman and we started up to the hospital to see patsy when i pro posed the scheme he was delighted and so pleased my uncle with his enthusiasm that the next day they both left for the farm down on lorn island for the next two years i lost sight of patsy and it was not until when three years of hard work at the city desk entitled me to a two weeks vaca tion that i saw him when i decided to go to my uncles to enjoy my holiday on tho farm i felt a slight curiosity as to how ptsy waq getting ou and as i left the train at the little wayside station and was looking around for my uncle i was some what surprised when a young mau stepped toward me with outstretched hand saying you dont remember me mr deming for the moment i did not but a second lookconviuced me the clear gray eyes the frank expression of the face was the same but in the tall stalwart figure and the muscular hand there was indeed a change when we reached the house ray uncle told mc that he had never had a better boy he is a good farmer and a good boy and hes goin to marry a good girl ef i aint mistaken hes been sort o settin up to one o spragues gals and ef he mar ries her ill let him have the other honse and the north end of the farm to work up- til he cau pay for it im a ettiu too old to work the whole place anyhow the rest of the story can be told in a few words patsy married the bprague gal and the next time i visited the old place i stopped at his own house with him as we were walking around his welltilled fields one qnret sunday afternoon be tam ed to mo with a quiet smile and said a pretty nice place isnt it i asbcnted and it all came from a five dollar gold piece that uiijht you gave mo that coin i held it in my hand and thoujt id keep it and go to the theatre but i could not so i run and gave it back to you and this he added glancing proudly round bis farm is the investment i dont believe in drawing a moral from ever true story but one cant help notic ing how small and insignificant was the action whiuh formed the turning point in the boys life and transformed the street gamin patsy trib into mr trib the man successful and respected buoht ot drebmfsrajtoe alait aiaal for oeroor land admd44lmdotbtwdt

superfluities bore 50 per cent of the total taxation while only 7 per cent waa raised by taxes on food and pro perty contributed 31 per cent but in view of the change in the social habits of the british people it is very doubtful how long the imperial government can depend on aloohol and tobaooo to furbish the bulk of the revenue the oonaumption of these articles is steadily failing off in 187576 the revenue from wines and liquors amount ed to twentythree million pounds at which rate it should in 1633 have yielded twenty five millions in proportion to the ihoreaae of population instead ot thus increasing however it fell below twenty millions this u very st of the progress of the temperanoeioonse and indi that the time is not far distent when england must look to some other source ol

borhood where mr bindge waa so well and favorably known at first it seemed im possible that any one so quiet and domettia could do so rash a deed and the inquiry was heard on every aide as to the cause the tacts as developed on investigation proved to be as follows mr bindge was domeetio in his tastes and took the greatest enjoyment in the so ciety of his children and pride in their de velopment and indeed he had good rea son to he proud for they gave promise of long lives of suooesa and usefulness but an evil day came his youngest son william began to show signs of an early decay he felt unusually tired each day and would sometimes sleep the entire after noon if permitted to do so hisheadpain- ed him not acutely bat with a dull heavy feeling there wae a sinking sensation at

grasp it full meaning at first then finally seemed to comprehend it but the load waa tod great in an agony al frenzy be setted a knife and took his own lite preferring death rather than to survive his
