'It's a rurious thin;;," sniil the
Porlor, "how the friendships of our
boyhood orrasioually conic bark to us
in lalrr years "
We were silling in his nAVe enjoy
in? a iuict little dial over oM college
days. Something in his manner to!d
mi' licit he li il a good story, so 1 an
swered with n tentative. "Yes? Whnt
suggested il,,, n yon?"'
'Oli, the itirer en ling one of mine
li:i- jn-l liail. I'll tell you about it.
"I was a boy when my father first
came to (hi town. As boys wiil. I
Hum made my friends and my enemies
more enemies than friends, perhaps;
but am iii;' the friends was one of the
best-natured little fellows jou ever
saw. Souu'wliero he had picked up
the oddest iiirktiame 1 had ever heard.
Kverj body in town knew him as
'liogue.' Why, nobody rould tell.
Ilis real name was .bdin Sanderson,
mid ho lived with his widowed mother
who kept the country posl-officc.
"liogue was a jolly youngster, lie
was bright, shrewd and happy; al
ways ready to do u friend u good turn,
nnd ronlluually orrupied with one of
a thousand schemes he had for making
a few cents, or in spending those pre
viously earned, lie had two brothers,
no more like him In nature ami dispo
sition than ii rainy day is like the sun
shine. They were both sober young
fellow-, working; hard at their trades,
nnd never having; any lime or money
to spend for plea-nre.
Hut llogne was their exact oppo
site. Volatile and free, ho had no
thought for tin' day or tin morrow,
lie made the be-l he rnuld of his life,
nnd had no complaint because exis
tence was not a bed of (hornless roses.
Ilis In ight, winsome ways made him
scores of friend-. Men pre-occupied
with bn-iue-s care- would go out of
their w ay to do him a kindness, for
there was a phase of hi- life which the
brave little fellow never mentioned,
but which half the town knew ami
pitied. Favorite that he was else
where, nl Imiiie he was di-liked. To
the mother, so careful of the o'her
hois mi watchful of their lives, he
was now elci'iiie.
The -vvret, sunny nature', so much
in need of the tender care of n mother's
love, w.-i- hurt and darkened at the be
ginning of its development : left to
w arp and grow crooked if it would:
left in .III n into paths the mother-love
should so carefully guard.
'I- it strange there should have
been dark days in hi- life? The
strange thin; is that the happy nature
was not forever ruined, and that the
native manhood w ithin him triumphed.
'Well, we boys lived and grew to
gether. Al school hn was the brighl
st and the worst of the lot. What
mischief he could not devise wa not
worth attempting;: what plans for
blithering; his teacheis he could not
formulate were beyond the rest of us.
Kut with all his dare deviltry and mis
chief, that reckless, merry hearted boy j
cariied in his manly hosum the very i
soul of honor, .onerous to a fault, I
be would willingly take the blame of J
any prank if thereby his companion '
sliould esrtipo. lint then! were some
things neither persuasion nor force
could induce him to do. Ami one day
the master called on him for one of
them.
There had been a prank of more
than u-ual magnitude played on the
master; his de-k had been opened and
bis text-hooks bidden. There was an
ominous gleam in his gray ryes that
morning ns he called out: 'Sanderson,
did you have anything to do with
this?'
'Yes, sir,' answered the boy.
'Come up here.'
'Bor;ue stepied forward, never
dreaming hut that a good thrashing
would settle, the whole trouble; but
he was mistaken.
"Who was with you?' asked the.
master.
The boy's big eyes grew round j
with astonishment and flashed with
anger as he answered: 'loyou think!
1 would tell you that? You don't
know me.' I
"For an instant line wn- a silence j
like the hush of death. The pupils sat J
(hero hreit'hless ami eager. The mas
ter grew ghastly pale ; thei his voice,
low and quivering with rage: 'San
derson, 1 command you to tell me who
was with you.'
"The big, old-fashioned clock on
the wall loudly licked the only an
swer. " 'I say I command you'.'
' 'I refuse to tell.'
"That was nineteen years ago, hut
il seems as if hut yesterday, so vividly
do I recall the scene that followed.
Tim master stepped to his closet and
look down a long, green rawhide,
sin-li as aro used for riding-whips.
There was a single cry, 'For shame ;'
hut he silenced it with a look of such
terrible malignity ns 1 have never seen
in another man's eyes. The hoy stood
nailing what ho knew would ho the
most awful beating the masUr could
inflict ; but he never flinched. The
muscles of his mouth assumed a set,
rigid expression, and the big brown
eyes blazed with indignation. That
was all.
"The master raised his whip. Jle
shook with uncontrollable passion.
'I'll teach you to refuse to obey me.'
Again and nga'ii the lithe la-h fell.
Willi strength inspired by his lerrihle
anger the ma-ter swung his stinging
whip. It rut the voiceless air of the
school-room with -In-ill, hissing sounds,
and fell upon the hack, the shoulders,
the limbs, the head, of the hoy with
resounding, malignant vigor. For
tifleen minutes the pitiless whip fell.
The boy neither moved nor cried out:
hut in his face was plainly portrayed
the depths to which his soul was
stirred. The hoy was changing to the
man. That iuarter of an hour marked
the transition period of his life. The
old. free -pint was curbed. The mas
terful will became dominant.
"The little town rang with the story
of tin- wrong. F.veryhody was enlist
ed for the boy except the ones whose
sympathy and help he had the right to
demand. They alone turned against
hint. Three days afterward he came
to tne and, with tears in his eyes, bade
me good-by. lie was going away
where, l.e did tint know; how1, he did
not care. His mother, he said, had
discredited him : his brothers said he
was wrong and deserved the beating.
That night he went. The iron had
entered his soul, and he never for
got il.
"(iradiiallv the affair was forgotten.
In a little country tow i like this such
things arc not long remembered.
The boys grew up and -cattcred: and,
save an occa-imial el. sit over old times,
llog.ie's name was rarely mentioned.
"So eigh'cen years passed. One
day when I returned from a profes
sional call I found a man in my oll'n e.
lie was worn and seedy and rn gcd,
and he had been drinking; he was
lying on the sofa, and the fumes of
1 1 1 1 u i r tilled the room.
"What do you want?' I asked
sharply.
"lie sat up and gave me a quirk,
startled glance from his brown eyes in
which there was something strangely
familiar. Putt I did not recognize him
until lie said: 'I didn't think you'd re
member mc. Pave. I'm I'.ogue.'
" 'My dear fellow, where have you
been ?'
"Oh, 1 don't know. Nobody does:
nobody cares. I'm a tramp. Have
been a tramp three years; but what's
the difference? Nobody cares.'
" 'Itul I care,' I replied.
"He shook his head sadly. 'Nobody
here ever cared anything about me. I
never even had a home. 1 ju-t grew
as I could. I used to wonder what a
home would be like if a fellow had
one of his own. Mavbe if somebody
had eared a rap w hether 1 went right
or wrong it would have been dif
ferent.' 'He was hungry, dirty, cold, and
had no money. I took him to my
rooms, gave him a bath, got him some
clothes and (ink him down to dinner
with me. Something had solvercd
him wonderfully. After dinner we
went back to the oilier, and he told me
his story.
"There wasn't much to tell. When
lie li ft our low n he had gone to a big
railroad centre and found wik. lie
got the opportunity and learned teleg
raphy, lie hud been gone fourteen
years and was grown to manhood,
when he was given a country station.
There the old, old story was told
again. He fell in love with the
daughter of a business man, and be
came engaged to her.
"It wa- ipieer,' he went on, "how
the old longing for a home of my own
i-iitne back over me. How we planned
and arranged! Kvcry thing was ready,
and the wedding day was nuno-t come,
I never dreamed of trouble; hut,
Pave --the day we were to have been
married she ran away with anoiher
fellow, lie had seemed a good friend
of mine, and had been helping me
with the arrangements.
' 'That niglit I was wild. For the
flr-t time in my life I got drunk. I
don't know how it was, but when I
got her note it seemed as if I was on
lire. I weiil down to the cilice drunk.
The boys were a-tonished to see me
so, but they had heard the story and
understood, lint, as if it were not
enough to have the dream of my life
ruined, I made a mistake in taking a
train o'.'der.aiid the train v.-as w recked.
A man was killed and a woman mo
lded for life. That night I went away.
I started out to walk, and I l.ave
walked ever since. That was almos
three years ago.
' 'And here I am. You're the first
nan in all that time who has had a
good word for mc I went to see
the boys my brothers, when 1 gut
here. You know how it used to be
with us. They would not speak to
me. No, there's no ne of my trying
to brace up. 1 ve tried it till I'm -irk,
a:ul it's no go, so I guess I had better
move on.'
'lint I stopped him and made him
stay with me. That was abmr a year
ago. He stayed six week-, and grad
ually got back into something like bis
old self. Hut I rould see that bis heart
was gone, and that il w a-a strained
effort he wa making. In (hose six
weeks his brothers never spoke to him
once. Some of the old friends who
were still here were really glad to see
him; but lie was very lelirent, ami
spent all the time with me.
"One day he said he w as ready to
go to work again if he could get tin
chance. I had some influence in rail
road circles, mid we went down to
hcndipiartei's together, lie was a fim
workman and Ihm-oughly competent ,
so there was not much diflirillly in
getting him a place. I went w ith him
out to his station, and saw him fairly
installed before I came back. Th
morning that I left him ho gave tne a
hearty hand shake, and, looking inc
straight in tin: eyes, said, wilh quiver
ing lips: 'Pave, old fellow, I'll hn a,
man now.' So I left him.
'lie never wrote to me but I heard
of him ocea-i mally, and alway- the re
port was a good one. lie was keep,
ing steadily al his work lost in it, il
seemed, for lie never as-ociated will
the young ni( f the town. His
secret w as hit own and he kept it.
So it went until, t"ii days ago, I
gut a message from him. lie had boen
hint in an accident and wanted me, I
went at one", but there wn no hope.
The poor boy wa- beyond all human
help, and it was merely a iUi'Slioii of

Il i- stated that a new prore for
making all 1 lasse. of g la., bottles by
Hiili bi iiitv has recently been pcrfci ted
and patented bv Mr. Samuel Washing
ton of I larpuilicv . l.inclii-tei. The
patentee claims t T1.1t buttles are by this
process of manufacture likely to be
produced at nne-quai ler the cost f la
bor, besides ;i better linislied article
being the result. The bottle is made
completely in one op"ialimi, in place
of two. as formerly. Thus the delicate
operation of putting on the neck,
w hirh requires considerable skill ami
lengthy experience, will b" obviated,
and must of neec ity re-nit in an im
nieiiM' saving in ils com. It is claimed
to effect a saving in this respect of
from .'ni to To per rent, inall aiiirles,
such a" medicals and tdat rhiss nf
wares which are imported from the
Continent, will be produced at a cost
which will meet Continental i-omptH-tioti.
