I never could he harsh with any one
having a real love fur liis mother; mou-,
the moment that 1 saw that liis case
was u d- serving one, I was ready to
exert in sell lo the utmost to help him
0 it of ie aiiie. Aly own mother had
a haul snuggle lo keep lier baium

c.iuRe a tear to gather in her eyes, I
would have chopped off my right baud.

Tills brief cuminuiiientfoo was sign
ed by a well known hanker, a jolly old
In-cbeliir, living in Finsliui-y njuure.—
He was a little man, and inclined to he
fat ; hut he hud H huge warm heart—
ns 1 bail discovered lung before.—uud
seemed to li.« iu a kind of gonial at
mosphi-ie, liked by tveiybody and ea
vied by none. 1 even felt a momenta
ry sinprise that a thief had found it iu
liis in-ait to victimize such a man.
Calling ut his liuu«e, tlie following
ensued :
"It is uot se much the money that
concerns me," lie said; " though the
loss lit that would he serious to a pool
mull, but in thu iuner pocket I had
stowed uway same papers and an o4tk
memorandum which I «liait mt-s very,
orach. It you ,ju«t get me them, y
cau let Ihe poor wretch keep the mou
e - T *'
This proposal w as against ail law und
order, nnd lie must Lave kjravru it; ban
I bud lo remind liim of tin- Ts^t.
"Ab, yes, I know,'" be «aid, ir\,.lji»
qtiiik way, with it merry smile. "It'«
agiiiust the law, of einii.-e. but you <!e
trctivcBcau easily stieteb a |»oinl when
you have u mind to; and, beside«, I
only tlumv out the hint. Get tlie eon
temsof the iuuer pocket—the rest also
if you can."
" No, sir."
" Y«u did not feel yourself tagged or
jostled auywhere on your way hoine."
Alter eliciting all the facts 1 could in
eauneelinu will, tin; matter, I returned
lo the ollicc, determined to wink wiib
a will to truce his p live and its eon
tints. But I did n I hear of it. No
one among my nuineieus neqiiiiiutaaees
seemed particularly flush of money;
the empty parse wm, uot picked iip
aiiywheie or brought in; und I begun
! to fear dial it had left Loudon, aud the
thief with it.
In this, however, I was mistaken.

Being answered i'i t,,e affirmative,
lie reuiniued a moment silent, during
which I could ce, liy the quivering ot
his lip, that he was struggling haul to
appear manly and firm while mukiiig

lie was choking and slinking all
as he got the words «ut, hut it

liis eyes, and the heavy purse dropped
af his feet.
There was a strange silence in tho
room. Nobody rushed forward with a
pair of handcuff's, or grasped him by
the collar to hustle him off' to a cell.—
He was so small—so forloru aud piti

"Tliat's it-, sir," lie cried, with a sud

fui eyes. " That's hvvw she died—I'm
suic'of it—because alte hadn't enough
to eat. 1 tried to save Iter by stealing

He appeared'so anxieus for a nega
tive that I was forced to say :
" 1 don't say they will, Willie, be
cause that would he sure to make her
uuiiappy—wouldn't it T"
This broughl a fresh burst of sob
bing, und then be said:
"I hope I'll be Imaged. I want to
die now. It's no living wit baut moth

nobody to put then- arms round me
when 1 mu hungry. I—I—Pm trying
not to cry—I made it all UP belote I
came t hit t I wouldn't eiy, but somehow
I can't help it. It seems very hard that
God should lake hor away, for I loved
her so, and I'm such a small boy.''
I could not get au answer, and uo
body else seemed ready to speak. I
picked up the purse aud motioned to
him to follow me into another room,
and lin-re poor Willie told me Ids mo
ther's history, and a sad, sad story it
it was the «hl story— a gurret, pinch
ing want, aud a loud straggle for baie
life, which dually drove the mother in
to delicate heultii, and the boy into one
•f tbu "liotnes" of Eondon.
lint here poor Willie's troubles in
creased. The bays of the "home"
crowded around flic strange Utile «ni
val, and dubbed him "Little Jinks."—
No i udciiens or ui.kindness was meant
— it was their custom, and lie had to
give up asking them to frail him Willie,
tin- " Little Jinks," they ivould have
him, aud nothing glue. The first day
passed all well enough—lie made one
or two nequniutHiices, aud at night
when all \vete asleep, and the cold
moonlight stole into the doi mi tory, he
had a good cry, keeping his head uinf
fled in the hedelot lies to stifle the'sound.
Uut fresh griefs were iu Stine for him.
in an evil hour lie linn euiilided to some
"f his new acquaintances some partiell
iars of liia own life and history ; nnd
next day when he found Ihefir tortirr
ing mio of their number, a mntejfcwnied
Johnnie, lie bonified them hyiflfitig

The unexpected words went straight

They were frieuds in a moment.
It ended, however, by the kind po
liceainti currying little "Jinks " to his
mother; and tlie poor woinan »vlien she
heard the account, received ki'n with
open arms, and there he remained wi h
her until tlie day af lier daatii, aud the
