tenement bounrs that made their aqnal
or even more apparent.
A few women with shawls hastily
thrown over their heads hurried aJon
the btreet, their wet skirts flapping
about their feet It was not yet fire
o'clock, and the men who were oa the
street straggled aimlessly along with
that weary, out-of-work expression
with which one soon grows sadly famil
isr In certain parts of the large cities.
The street, however, swarmed with
children who hopped about like spar
rows and picked up their crumbs of en
javment much after the manner of the
feathered tribe. A street band played
"Little Annie Boonev" with much vigor
and many discords, and some of the
children danced to the music, evading
the heaps of rubbish with surprising
gTace and agility. Into this ka
leidoscope of dingy colors a new figure
made its appearance.
"Hi there, Wolfle!" shouted a small
urchin, refraining for a moment from
storming the windows of a tenement
house with m ud balls.
"Hi there, yerself," responded the
newcomer.
"How's Joey?" asked the urchin.
Joey's bad, to-day," was the answer.
The first nrchin resumed bis inter
rupted occupation and the other moved
along. One shoulder appeared to be

and he proceeded side foremost, some
what after the manner of a disabled
crab. As straight aa the manner of his

my visitor, scrutinizing my face for
some stamp of tbe professson.
"Yes, I answered, smiling, "what
can I do for yon?"
"Nothln' for me," he replied, with
scornful gesture of an uncommonly
grimy mtie paw, "only Just Joey."
"And who is Joey?" I asked.
"Joey? He my 'doption," was the
answer.
"Indeed!" I said, "and what might

"It might be George Washington, but

I counted eight stairs and climbed
over the ninth, and with eves now more
aceattumcd to the darkness I followed
WolSe, who wa kilicg np the stairway

Two, three, four fights. At last we
were at the top of the houwe where
Wolfle and his "'doption'" lived, and
WolSe, drawing himself up with an air
f dignity, announced: "This is where
I live. See?"
I looked and I "saw" a miserable,
dirty room, a chair, a wooden stool so
tiay thst it seemed s if a strong draft
of air would blow it up the chimnev, a
table and in one corner of the room, a
bed.
" Slhat you, Wolfle?" came in
sharp, childish treble from the corner.
"lea, Joey, it's me and I've brung
the doctor lady to make your back
well.
On the bed lay a poor little emaciated
form with a mass of tumbled, curly hair
throws back on the pillow and big
black eyes that looked bigger and
blacker from the purple shadows under
them.
"My back wont never be well," said
the child, turning his head wearily on
on the pillow, "but it don't ache so bad
now nor it did.
"Let me see," 1 na'ul. pausing my hand
over the pathetically thin little back.
"How did it happen?" I atked of Wol
Be, who, perched on the stool, was re
garding me with a look of elfish intelli
genre
"Yer see his mother was drunk 'nd
sh pushed him downstairs, 'nd that's
bow it happened. I got punhed down
stairs myself onct. It didn't make so
mack difference on me 'co I'm tough.
but I kinder felt for Joey, and that
why 1 'dopted him, see?"
"Where is his mother, now?" I asked.
Wolfle Jerked his thumb outward
with an expressive noil that probably
would have conveyed information to
the initialed, but Uift mc as much in
tha dark as to her whereabouts as be
fore.
"Joey ain't goin' to die, is he?" he
asked, in an eacr w hisper, drawing
me over to the window.
"Oh, no, I hope he isn't," I replied, as
encouragingly as I could.
"Be yer talftin' about me?" sounded
in Joey s shrill voice from the corner.
"I was showing? the doctor lady yer
garding,' said Wolfle, recovering his
tang froii.
"This yere, yer see. Is a g'ran'nira,'
raising his voice that Joey might hea
him, "and that yere is what folks call
heartsease, leastwise t was afore the
top got broke off," he corrected, point
ing to a headless and withered stalk in
a broken flower pot "Joey he sets
heap of store by his garding and it does
look purty with the sun a-shinin' on
it."
I mentally wondered how the sun
could manage to shine through those
dirty window panes, but Wolfle went on
pleasantly: "llein' a rear tenement
we has a heap of sun 'nd that's sarin'
n coal as well as bein' better for the
health."
"How would you like to have Joey
go away for a few weeks, Wolfle?" I
asked, tentatively.
"Yer ain't goin' to take Joey away
from me, is yer?" said Wolfle, his eyes
dilating with apprehension.
"No, no, not for long," I assured him,
"only for a few weeks where lie will
hare a clean, soft bed and plenty of
good food, and maybe get strong and
well.
"And me not sec hinf?" asked Wolfle,
piteously.
"You shall come to the hospital every
week and see him, I promised.
Kin I, certain sure? But hospitals
Is where they cut folks op and sell 'em,
am t it? he asked, suspiciously.
Oh no, indeed, tiospitals are where
they try to make sickjieople well, and
they would take the very best care in
the world of Joey."
well, I s pose he kin go," he said, re
fleotively; "but it'll be mighty lonesome
thont yer, Joey," rubbing bis ragged
sleeve across his eyes.
'I ain't like other kids, yer know;
' pose It's on account of my havin' of a
crooked back and a lame leg. The
boys they kinder Jibe me 'nd I Jibe 'em
back; 'nd Joey s he s all I hev to be
fond of. Yer likes me, too, don't ver,
Joey?" he said, burying his head beside
Joey'a wan little face.
'Yon bet!" responded Joey, with cor
dial affection, and, after leaving a sleep
ing draught for Joey, 1 went away leav
ing them curled up together like two
kittens on the hard, straw bed
A few days later, Joey was snugly
ensconced in a clean little bed at the
children's hospital. The comfort and
cleanliness of it all was a great sur
prise to him and it was some time be
fore he became accustomed to it.
"My, if Wolfle were here!" he would
say, passing his hand over the snowy
coverlet with pleased wonder. But the
pain in his back would soon make him
forget even Wolfle and the clean cover
let
Every day Wolfle came to inquire for
Joey. When it was known that Joey
was Wolfle's '"doption" he was allowed
to come into the ward whenever he
came, for it was only a question of time,
and a very short time that Joey would
stay. In spite of all that care and skill
could do the pain in the poor little back
grew worse and worse, and Joey's
strength grew less and less able to
bear it
Bnt his face never failed to brighten
when Wolfle came, and Wolfle would
stt for hours by the bed stroking Joey's
fingers and talking to him in a crooning
voice. Sometimes Joey would fall
asleep and feel easier when he woke,
and then he was content to lie and
watch the golden sunlight that danced
on the white walls of the hospital ward,
and he would put cAit his hand to catch
the sunbeams that flickered over the
coverlet but they always managed to
lip through his fingers and Joey
thought that it was because his hands
were so small and weak, and he would
smile and say that he would chase them
and catch them when his back was well
But one morning when the air was
tweet with the prophecy of coming
spring, Joey'a spirit slipped away from
the suffering little body and when
Wolfle came Joey had gone where there
was no more cold, or hunger, or pain.
They thought that there would be an
outburst of grief when they told Wolfle,
but he only drew his hand across his
eyes aa if the sunllg-lit dazzled him and
without a word be turned and went
away, nor could they call him back. j

one at the a-uae had seen him and t
was just thiakiBU of l-.A.c,f him up
when I saw tie child e!?ii;g his way p
the f U-ps. In his arm he carried the
firiut U.e fcsrubbj "g'ruuiaia'
of JoerV ' gardiag." aa-i from one of
his sleeres there drooped a scrap of
black crape.
"I've brung yer this yere cos he set
store by it, and yer was gmd to him.
he said, as 1 opened the duor. "He
won't want it bo more," he said, care
fully setting the pot on a chair in the
hallway. His face and hands were in
describably dirty. He rubbed off soms
of tbe soil from his hands upon his
trouaera.
"Guess if you had a lame back and
bad leg you wouldnt go up four flights
of stairs to wash 'em," he said, apolo
getically, "besides Ke ain't there now."
Tbe last link that bound the little
waif to love seemed severed by Joey's
death. Something in his isolation
touched me inexpressibly, and I said
impulsively: "Wol&e, how would jou
line to stay here with me?"
"What? yer don't mean it!" he said, a
sutklea ray lightening up his face.
"tea, I do mean it I want a boy
who will black my shoes and do my er
rands, resolving on the spot to throw
away my t rench dressing and buy
shoe brush and blacking, "and you,
Home, are tne boy 1 want.
"Oh Lor!" he exclaimed, too surprised
to collect himself. The tears were
running down his checks, streaking
little channels through the grime of his
face.
"There ain't nobody speaked kind to
me since k died, and I ain't had nobody
to ao nothin for, he sobbed, and I did
not try to com fort him for I thought thst
tears would be the best relief to his bur

doubtfully, when he had recovered him
self.
"Indeed I do," I answered.
"Shake," he said, extending his hand.
If he had been Just a little cleaner I
think that I should have kissed him to
seal the bargain, but dirt is a great re
presser of sentimentality and I not only
did not kiss him but I did not prolong
tne ceremony of hand-shaking beyond
necessary limits.
"Would you liko to go borne for any
thing?" I asked when ws had talked
orer the new arrangement
"Taint home now Joey's gone; and
my clothes is mostly at the Chinee laun
dry," he added, with dignity.
"Oh, of course, if your clothes are at
the Chinese laundry you wont need to
go home, 1 said, as politely as I could.
"and when you have had a bath you
will let me give you some others;
clothes will be part of vour wages."
He wisw grimy, so very grimy, that
It did not seem as if any ordinary
cleansing process would have much ef
fect, and, after some consideration, I
took him to a Turkish-bath establish
mcnt, whence he emerged, some hours
later, in an unrecognizable state of
cleanliness. New clothes throughout
completed the transformation, and no
butterfly, newly emerged from the
chrysalis, could have found the meta
morphosis more delightful.
"Do yer s'posc Joey has clothes like
these yere in heaving?" he asked, after
contemplating his attire, for some time,
in silence.
"Joey has all that his heart can
wish," I answered, gently, and with
that answer Wolfle was content.
"I s'pose I kin't use bad words no
more if I'm going to be your boy, kin
I?" he asked, when the novelty of the
new clothes had worn off a little.
"Certainly not," I replied, "and Joey
would be sorry to have you use bad
words, too.
He got along bravely throuirh the
day, but the next morning I found him
with his fingers pressed tightly over his
mouth.
"Oh my! oh Lor," he exclaimed. "I
shall just bust if I don't say bad words
now and then. Do yer s'pose Jocy'd
mind if I should Just case off kinder
gradooal instead of stoppin' so suddint
like?"
Wolfle's progress was indeed "grad
ooal, and his relapses were at first
alarmingly frequent, but in due time
persistent care and kindness brought
their reward. The stunted little form
began to fill out and increase in stature,
and though the crookedness must al
ways remain one forgot It when one
glanced at the sensitive face, whose
shrewdness was fast giving place to a
bright intelligence.
Lame dogs were very near his heart,
and the house was in danger of being
converted into nn asylum for battered
canines, for Wolfle pleaded so hard for
his four-footed friends that I had not
the heart to forbid his bringing them
in, and he experimented on them with
splints and bandages to his heart's con
tent. Scem's if they was sorter human
like," he explained one day when he
looked up and saw me watching him.
And indeed he had a dexterity and skill
of manipulation that was not thrown
away on me.
1 he days grew into months and Wolfle
staid on, making himself useful in such
s variety of ways that 1 wondered what
I had done before be came.
One morning an idea occurred to me,
and I said, rather abruptly: "Wilfrid,
how would you like to be a doctor?"
"Golly!" he exclaimed, surprised into
a lapse of language. "I mean that is
what do yer say, Miss Annie?"
"I mean that I am going to have you
educated," I said, decidedly, "and it
rests with yourself what you will be."
Wolfle was silent for a moment, and
when he looked up the tears were
streaming down his face.
I'll try to be a credit to yer," he said
earnestly; "to yer and to Joey."
And the weeks go whisking into
months, and the months go spinning
into years, and who knows what the
future will bring forth? H. B. Clark, in

HANDY OUTDOOR COOP.
Aa Excellent Tet Simple Device for Shel
tering Young Chicks.
There are many designs for coops to
shelter young chicks. In fact, a per
son with any idea in a mechanical way
can devise a suitable one that will meet
his needs. This one shown is my own
idea and has been found quite useful.
The .use of a saw and hatchet, with
screws or nails, and a box obtained at
the store in the town at which you deal
is what will construct it. I speak of
screws instead of nails because the
coop may be unfastened and packed
away in a clean place in the fall, or
soon after the batching season Is orer,
and be ready to refit when wanted the
following spring. I shade tbe front by
using a piece of canvas tacked along
the roof and sewed around a frame of
wire or wooden hoop. The front may
be inclosed by small wire netting or
out-doob coor.
ooarse window screen wire and an
opening at the floor cut to admit of the
cbicks passing in or out. The board in
front can be fastened to the floor of
coop by means of hinges so as to fold
np against the front on wet days until
the rain is, over, when it can be
lowered. The canvas front is fastened
on screws at each side, the wire
twisted around the screws, allowing it
to be raised or lowered at pleasure.
When it is wet the canvas is raised and
the stepping board turned up against
the front. The chicks are then shut in
securely. After the rain all these may
be adjusted as before and the wet kept
out of the inside of the coop. The side
door is for giving food to the old hen
and cleaning up and supplying the
necessary litter as often aa needful.
The handle on top is made of a strap or
old suspender, making it easier to re
move the coop from place to place. J.

BIRDS VS. INSECTS.
An Able Defense of the Feraecutcd Guard
Jani of the Farmers' Crops.
In nature there is a general overrul
ing law which is roughly stated in th6
common saying: "The weakest must go
to the wall," the action of which is
very self-evident to those who have
given much attention to the study of
birds and insects. It is only when man
so modifies nature that the law does
not have free action that the balance is
destroyed, and evil results. Insects, as
well as the birds, doubtless have their
proper place to fill in the great scheme
of creation, and, like many things else,
when held within bounds are for tbe
common good. "When the cat is away
the mice will play." So when the birds
are scarce the insects abound, some
times to our discomfort, and even dis
may. I do not wish here to make any
plea for the protection of birds on the
grounds of beauty of their form or col
oring, or the sweetness of their songs,
but upon the purely utilitarian basis of
guardians of crops from the destructive
workings of the various injurious in
sects. Some birds do not eat insects.
but the list is small. Audubon has
stated that a woodcock will eat its own
weight of insects in a day. The com
mon chirping sparrow destroys many a
tent caterpillar moth. Birds have been
constantly on the decrease, from the
destruction of the forests, and other
more direct causes due to man, while,
on the other hand, the insects have
steadily increased. There seems to be
an eternal hatred of birds born with
some boys, which it is painful to see in
its varied manifestations. The stoning
of old birds, robbing their nests, killing
the young, is to be strongly condemned.
Kindness to our feathered mends must
come largely from home and school
training. Parent and teacher can do
much in this regard. American Agri

"German
Syrup"
My acquaintance with Boschee's
German Syrup was made about four
teen years ago. I contracted a cold
which resulted in a hoarseness and
cough which disabled me from fill
ing my pulpit for a number of Sab
baths. After trying a physician,
without obtaining relief I saw the
advertisement of your remedy and
obtained a bottle. I received quick
and permanent help. I never hesi
tate to tell my experience. Rev. W.
H- Haggerty. Martinsville, N.J.
The hypophosphites of
lime and soda combined with
cod-liver oil in Scott's Emul
sion improve the appetite,
promote digestion, and in
crease the weight.
They are thought by some
to be food; but this is not
proved. They are tonics;
this is admitted by all
Cod-liver oil is mainly a
food, but also a tonic.
In Scott's Emulsion the
cod-liver oil and hypophos
phites are so combined as to
get the full advantage of both.
