After a tire some journey 1 came upon an alley and' a group of boys traveling through a game of marbles on their knees, like penitents stnmpiDg to Jerusalem. And in their midst was Billy. Billy was a noble looking boy. I paused and tried to get in position to look at him. I felt a maudlin jpride in j Billy. He had Nora's blue eyes. (Blessed Nora! She' was gone where she couldn t be carsed any more ; poor little broken hearted thing.) ' , As Billy photographed himself in my eesis bright hair blowing, his lust finjers gouging a pit for the centre marble, the contrast between what he and I were born to be, and wha we were, struck; me- like a bullet. j I bad tried to reform. Ob, yes. And every failure was a link in ray chain. I was utterly given over lo the snakes and the furies. Ifow here was Bill,-, walking in my vagrant I steps, a vicious Arab under a beautiful Caucasian guise, MSayy jBUy begged j od: of the tribe, casting a covetous eye on .his industrions jaw, "let me chaw your waxavhiie.n ' f Bill, with g.aceful generosity and 1 1 1 .. it' ver, I n.- oa hn .tan .j Li: w - vfi til i mo fence, ii iTf "MP wriiM.es u:-! bttdtli'nly ints s: tnileMroa;- ; in? cenLfe.

' Men should respect in me that sjark which the would show him boy respe t d. I what a grand and overmastering thing is, that soul which the God oj glory values. "Don't cry, father," requested Billy, while he ceased not-to, paint bloody sunrise on his face.1 Better than a sunrise was that little face to me. His eyes . looked bluer and more heaven-like than the sky. "Do you love your father ?" I asked, holding to hmi like, a woman. "Yes, eir, I'll calls you names,' lick anybody that the bright, tender firmaments in bis face gushing with another shower. A horizontal hail of mud and peb: bles' hit us while he was speaking. Billy reared up like a charger snuf fing the battle afar off. But I made him retreat from the enemy's lines. When the ,boy and I laid out at night in a low tavern, which wrs ourj only boraei I asked him with myj face turned from him, 'Billy, willj you -ielp your father to try once more I llpn Avhich he bounded up and pumped my arm with all the vigor and familiarity that the street had pot in him.

It wps su'cli a very, straight path up from that place, and I came so near falling, lime after timei ! The next day I got to work on the railroad. From the euter I Could not go directly back ;to the bar,! It was hard to shovel dirt in the hot sun. I sat dowh half. iaint iirg.j "i gojd natitred Patrick came sylf witha; bottle, and bade me " w hift at it," .which I put forth the willito do like a weak beast--w hen Billy swooped down from a pa-sing freight and squared himself before that Irishman, while the very Tatters at his elbow bristled w ith w rath, J' "Kook here, now !" threatened he, sending the bottle far over the track, "if jyou get my father to drinking again, I'll kick you."' j ' j It would have been so' very hard tor the boy to fulfil the threat with bis baby legs, that my irishman took a jolly compassion on; him and roared a vow never more to put his 8limv temptations to mv face. After I had delved awhile, Billy had a new suit of clothes, a set of books and school privileges. Then a situation as copyist was: opened to me. The boy and Ij fell into the habit yf striking hands and going, to church on a Sunday. Some of mv oM iii,'.' i -? riends began to notice me. Oh, I tell you, it. makes a man's heart swell like a green bulb to have an honest jand coine seeking his,; Finally I got into practice. Some imes the thiot cauie on me and I stormed up and down iny office and, w istful out' lit: le' locks; of hair, as if the ctfrst hung to roots of that.

Tiiat sahon door sucked me "Just iiaif w ay in, when I as 6hockeo tiiipugli iny coat-skirts and Iquiie knocki d into the street.: 'Here, lather," pleaded Billy, charging me with a second Jerk,' "coine out ot this come out ot this, iczle a-going to make men of onr- selves, lather." ; ' "Yes, men, Billy," I subscribed. So I didn't run- into that sideltrack, oecause I had such a faithful tender. Coming lup socially, otten does much .'for -a man " morally, iiases multiplied and I seemed to grow, with my trust. The boy and I had smart lodgings jUp town. He rose iii school. I was so proud of.bim. r I've hea'rd how women love their children with close peculiar devo :ttoii. I think I musi have loved him with- a mother's love. There's no other , way of expiessiiig how near the-boy is to me. j , Wheu he came from school and met me on, the streets, he was often carrying) the satchel lit a smooth haired, dark-eyed girl, to whom he would exclaim, as he loyally touched his ca,. : "That's my lathei !' with such a proud! accent - tiiat the blood leaped in ray veins. jj Oh, my good feliow, it'sa rlorious day1 for you when your child is proud of you. We. live all together, now ; Billy, his dark haired Nora, the l.ttle roa die aud I, in a home with no end ot verandas and vines.
