"Cajrleton's not in yet, Mr. How ard', one of the men replied. 'Ilr li"t the door shut with a hang, to" open a minute later, when the same worried voice inquired: vvnere s auar. jno; l suppose he isn't to be found either! Did any one ever know him to be on hand when he was wanted? Here, Bnd," as the grimy faced galley and general utility boy in question came in with his proofs, "go down to the foot of F street and find Carleton. There's a wreck off the point, but it won't do ns any good unless he gets here with that copy pretty soon. We go to press at 3 o'clock in just two hours. Bud" : He stopped with a half smile, for the boy was already part way down the stairs on his way to the street. . r None of us knew exactly why we gave the weird,- shriveled specimen of boyhood the name of Bud. Pos sibly it was because of the certainty we felt that he would never blos som. He was a thin shouldered, sunken chested little fellow, small even for his twelve years, with a sharp featured, unchildish face and the suggestion of eternal croup in his voice. He had drifted into the office one stormy night about a year before the time of which I write, and, although his request for "a place" had been promptly . refused, he had calmly stayed, on and become a fixture. He was not communicative about himself, and we were not particu larly curious. Une of the women proofreaders discovered before long that the eray rat tinder her desk was not a more constant habitue of the office than was Bud. He spent the hours between the time that the paper went to press and the arrival of the day men at 11 o'clock sleeping on one of the empty mail sacks in a dark -corner of the engine room, hot from that time on he was alert and ready for business. As "understudy" for Urank:, tne regular galley boy, he was fast pick ing np a knowledge of printing and Had occasionally displayed a sur prising amount of information re garding the general makeup of' a newspaper, strongly imDuea wiin the-idea .that all things were sec ondary in importance and must pe subservient "to its requirements, nothing pleased him so much as an errand of the kind just riven him bv the city editor, and we all knew he would return on time if he was alive. Carleton was a new man on the paper, a little green in the business, hut. with a "nose for news" and a of honor and the eternal fit ness of things, coupled with reli ability of statement. Mr. nowara had locked over his staff that night before giving the assignment. ; ' "Get to that wreck, Carleton," he said testily..; "You are the only man horn who can write it up without the waves roll mountain high And the new reporter had torn a thick section irom tne diock nf nnnv naner and hurried away, 1 Tliiil fmn( nO difficulty in locat ing the wreck, although be could see its dark spars outlined against the sky much better by imning along XV. Iwtnt aa far-. as H Street. f The storm, which had been raging t for three days and had finally caus ' ed the disaster, had subsided a trifle, i and from his distance the great, black hulk seemed resting easily np ' n tha waves. . On account of the hour there were but few spectators onlv the hurrying life saving crews, the patrolmen and the inev itable groups of ragged wharf rata, and Bud observed with delight that not another paper had a reporter on the scene, i He looked around for Carleton, and some one told him that the "chap" that had been writ ing there for a long time siwhk an overturned small boat had at last righted the little craft and set off for the nan suwnergcu "He hadn't onghter either, the man continued. "This water ata t as peaceful as it looks. W had a hard pull gettin' in the last trio with the passengers, and the wind is risin' higher every minute. .

The sailor loosened the boy's hands, and he dropped backward into the water. He scrambled to the shore and stood chokihe with 1 inmotent rage, strange oaths pouring from his "F " im nanus Dealing ai the air. The wind increased in violence. The thunder was terrific, and the heavens were cut with broad, white Diades. 1 he night erew ever black 0 - 0- - - -mm er, but he could see by the flashes that the lifeboat rolled heavily and seemed in distress. He sank down and dug his hands deep in the sand. All at once a peal of thunder shook thft nlM pnrth A flank ni lightning leaped down and seemed to lap up the sea and ships. Bud uncovered his eyes, and in a moment his shrill voice was added to the chorus of agony sent up from among the flames of the fated steamer. Lightning had struck her. and the boy had heard the. sailors say that she carried a consignment of coal oil. v.. The light was bright enough now. and the watchers could see a small, dark object leave her luminous side and head toward shore. It was the small boat. Bud screamed in ec stasy as he saw a man, Carleton, work at the oars. The time seemed an eternity, and. "the boat, over crowded as it was with women and children, seemed to make no prog ress. It was in danger of swamping. How long before the explosion must occur? The boy threw himself face down ward upon the beach and waited. Presently he lifted his eyes and saw the man in the boat rise and gently fiut back the hands that were ex ended toward him as if in entreaty and then, with a long leap, spring into the ocean. . ' - Bud saw him strike out with strong, confident strokes, while the boat, relieved of his weight, made a leap forward. Then there was a sudden darkening of the sky as the flames swirled downward, followed by a long, reverberating shock and roar, a glare that turned the heavens into fire, while the waves hissed around the scene,' with the foam at their hps stained red. There was a hurrying back and forth along the shore, the whirling of ropes, lassolike, over the waters, and after awhile a few charred, blackened shapes upon the beach. Bud opened the office door at half past z. . "This is a nice time for you to show up," growled the city editor, "Where's Carleton ? Did you get that copy?" Bud approached the table slowly, fumbling in his coat with trembling hands. y, . ' "I've brought the copy," he said, his lips drawn and ashen. "It's a little wet, 'cause 'twas in his pocket, and" the boy put his hand up to his throat and sobbed hoarsely "you see, he got drowned." , CAPTURED THE OFFICIALS. The Neat Trick a Parisian Woman Played on the Police. " 1 A Parisian woman who did not pay her rent played a heat trick on the police. She had a reputation for violence, and when the bailiff called he took the precaution of bringing police commisso with him. The woman was wreathed in smiles when she opened the door to the two offi cials, and she assisted them with the utmost amiability in drawing up an inventory of her furniture, with view to an eventual sale at public auction. Wben the business waa completed she conducted the bailiff and the police officer to the door, hut the latter was locked. - ' - Jf?Gentlemen," the woman remark ed, with an amiable araue, you an my prisoners. Yon have been so jourteous and considerate that I should be loath to lose your com pany. Therefore, I have locked the front doorand thrown the key out of the window. This flat is on th fourth floor.- The door is an ex ceptionally strong one, and your joint efforts would be powerless to force it open. The next door flat and that on the floor beneath are both unoccupied. Consequently it would bejdle to expect assistance) from any one in the house." The only thing for yoa to do is to halloa out of the window down into the street and make yourselves- a laugh incrsloek."

"Send it along to the bank and have it ex amined while I wait," be said. should prefer it" . Nothing sim mer. An assistant was dispatched to the bank; and returned to say4he note was one 01. the very best, and everything was . very satisfactory. The bishop took the bracelet, the man behind the counter popped out to usher him into his carriage, when up strode an unmannerly varlet of a policeman in uniform and tapped the bishop on the shoulder. . ' -"Hello, Jim r he exclaimed fa miliarly to. the good man in the shovel hat and gaiters. "Hello! Up to your old tricks again, are you? ' oull 'ust come along with me,"' So saying," he roughly han dled the poor bishop back again into the shop. , The proprietors said that .there was a very grave mis take hern. The oentleman' unon whom the constable had laid hands had just bought a bracelet for 100 ana paid for it with a note whose excellence; had been duly attested by the bank authorities. "Just let 'r e 11 a a ' a me iook at tnat note, sir, saia ine constable, unconvinced. He scru tinized it closelv. "Ah. iust'as 1 thought!" he exclaimed.

We will tro off to the police station at once';1 1 will take the note and go on .wiinthe prisoner, in tbe carriage, and yoa must send "your men in a cab to meet us and give evidence."
