Dick, a Street Bor.
Dick vras a tall, tliln, starved-looking
boy, with n little jacket, the sleeves of
which crept Lalf way up liis aims, and
a hat that was nothing but a brim; and
when she first 'saw him he was eating a
crust from a gutter. She was oiJy a
poor old woman, who kept a little shop
for candy and trimmings, and poor
enough herself; but as she said, he look
ed a little like what her Tom might have
"been if he had grown up and ueen neg
lected, and' she couldn't stand it She
called to him :
"Come here, sonny,-" said she, and the
bov came. Before' r-lie could speak, he
said:
"I didn't do it. 111 take, ray oath on
anything I didn't do it."-
"Didn't 4o whatr said the old wo
man. "Break? your wintlow," said the boy.
"Why f broke thut myself with my
shutter last night," said the old woman.
"I am not strong enough to lift them,"
she continued.
"If I'm about here when you shut up
111 come and do it for you," said the
boy. "What was it that you wanted
me fort"
"I want to know what you ato that
dry crust out of the gutter forT said
she.
'Hungry," said he; "Fro tried to get
a job all day. I'm going to sleep in an
area over there after it gets too dark for
the policeman to see, and you can't have
a good night's, "sleep without some
supjr."
"I'll give' you some that's cleaner,'"
said the old woman.
"That will be begging," said he.
2o," said she; "you can sweep the
shop and the pavement, and put up the
shutters for it."
"Very well," said lie. "Thankee
then. If I sweep first F1I feel better."
She brought him a broom, and he did
his work welL Afterwards he ate his
supper with a relish. That night he
slept, not in the area, but under the old
woman's counter.
He told her his story. His name
was Dick; he was 12 years old, and his
father, whom he had never seen sober,
was in prison for killing his mother.
The next morning the old woman en
gaged a clerk for her small establish
ment. The terms were simple "his
living and a bed under the counter."
When the neighbors heard of it thoy
were shocked. 1A. street boy a boy
whom no on knew ! Did ilrs. Boggs
realiy wish to be murdered in her bed t
But Mrs. Bogs felt quite safe. She
had so much time now that she was go
ing to take in sewing. Dick attended
to the shop altogether. He kept it in
fine order and increased the business.
Pennies came in as they never came in
before, since he had painted signs in red
and blue ink to the effect that the real
old sugar candy was to be got there, and
that this was' the place for nuts.
And in the evening after the shop
was shut up the old woman began to
take him into her confidence. The
dream of her life was to buy herself
into a home for the aged. It would cost
her a 100. She was saving for it.
She had saved threeyears and had .15
of it. But it cost so much to live, with
tea so dear and loaves so small; and she
had been sick, and there whs the doctor,
and Mrs. Jones' 3Iartha Jane to be paid
for minding the shop. After this Dick
took the greatest interest in the savings,
and the Winter months increased them
as though he had brought a blessing.
One night in Spring they took the
bag from under her pillow, and counted
what it held. It was .30. "And 111
begin to make kites to-morrow, Mrs.
Boggs," said the boy, and youH sec
the custom they will bring. If a little
shaver sees the kites, hell spend all he
has on them, and then coax Lis mother
for more."
"You're a clever loy yourself," said
the old woman, and tatted his hand.
It was a plumper hand than it had
been when it picked the crust from the
gutter, and he wore clean, whole gar
ments, though they were very coarse.
"How wrong the neighbors wore !"
she said "that boy is the comfort of
my life."
So she went to bed with her money
tinder her pillow and slept. Far on in
the night she woke. The room was
quite dark there was not a ray of
light but she hears a step on the floor.
"Who is there V she cried.
There was no answer, but she felt
that some one was leaning over her bed.
Then a hand clasped her throat and
held her down, and dragged out the bag
of money, and she was released. Half
suffocated, she for a moment found her
self motionless and bewildered, conscious
only of a draught of air from an open
door, and of some strange noises.
She hurried into'the shop.
"Dick: Dick. m ske cried. "Dick!
Dick ! Help I Wake up ! I'm robbed V
Bat there was no answjr; the door
into the street was wide oj en; and by
the moonlight that poured through it,
she saw, as she peered under the coun
ter, that Dick's bed was empty. The
boy was gone !
Gone I gone ! Oh, that was the worst
to poor Granny Boggs than even the
lose of the money; for she had trusted
him, and he had deceived her. She liad
loved him and he had abused her love.
The neighbors were right; she was a
feel to trust u strange street bty, and
had been served rightly when he had
rofibed her.
When the dawn broke the wise
neighbors called into poor Granny's
shop to find her crying and rocking to
and fro; md they told her they had
told her so, and she only shook her head.
The shop took care of" itself that day.
life had lost its interest for her. Her
"occupation was gon" but not with her
savings. Money was but money after
all; he had come to le the only thing
she loved, and Dick had robbed her 1

Batumi Mrs. Jones from up stairs was
"seeing to things," and trying to cheer
her up, when, suddenly there came a. rap
at the door, and a policeman looked in.
"Mrs. Boggs," he said.
"Here she is," said Mrs. Jones.
"Some one waaU to see y ou at headquar-
ters," said the policeman. "There is a
boy there and some niouev."
"Dick.- cried Mrs. Boggs. "Oh,
caa't bear to look at him !"
But Mrs. Jones had rdready tied on
tier bonnet, and wrapped her in a shawl,
aud taken her by tho arm was hurrying
her oil.
"The wretch !" Mrs. Jones said "I'm
clad be is cauehL ioiill cct your
money luck;"
And she led Mrs. Boggs along ioor
Mrs. Boggs, who' cried all tho way, and
cared nothing for tho money ! And
soon they were at the jolice station, aud
then, and not before, the policeman laid
to the old woman :
"He's pretty bad; they'll take him to
the hospital in an hour. 1 sutMvo.se vou
are pretiarcd for that. He's nearly beat
en to ileaUi, you know."
"Did you beat him, you cruel wretch T
said the old lady. "I wouldn t had
that done for twice the money.
"1 beat him ! said the man. "Well,
women have the stupidest heads. Why
if I hadn't got there when 1 did, he'll
liave been dead. He hold the bag of

never saw the like! 'You shan't take
Granny's money from hor, savs he, and
fought like a little ti"er. If it's your
money, old lady, he's given his life for

Then old Mrs. Boggs clap!ed her
hands and cned :
"Oh, Dick '. Dick ! I knew yoa were

Theodore Tilton' Beule.
Very trim in figare she was, with
small, well-shatxxl head, bright brown
hair, regular features, a very pretty
mouth, and a pair of peculiar eyes, large
in size, and a light brown in color,
exceedingly bright, but with the loak of
taking everything in with a glance and
revealing nothing. The hands that ran
over the white keys were very ml, large,
and not remarkable for J-vmmetrv; in
fact, they betrayed the fact that their
owner had not seen "better," bat worse
days. And this young lady, in a neat
costume of black with a white turn
down collar, was Btsae Turner Til ton's
Bessie not unknown to notoriety in
the celebrated case of Til ton va Henry

A reporter presented a card. Miss
Bessie glanced at it, and instantly her
spinal column assumed a painfully per
pendicular pos-.Uoa, that would have put
a ramrod to shame, by comrumou. A
brief silence, then the vounz woman's
litis, going through a short formula of
"prunes, prisms and potatoes," jtarted,
as she remarked, "I never have any
thing to say to newsjapcr people."
"And why not f asked the retorter.
"Because," was the forcibly elegant
answer, "they have always lied about

with utter dissolution. The scribe hur

ness of a pair of scissors, "There is no

"I refuse to talk about the Tiltons."
After this damper the conversation
did not seem to regain it former brisk
ness and brilliancy, and after painfully
extracting the fact that the imjwrturba
ble interviewed meant to cling to "the
profession," and was huperior to the
criticisms of the press, the scribe de
parted, leaving 3Iiss Bessie to pound
away at her "Last Hope."

A Wild Hi.
A wild man has been captured in
Tennessee. The Courier-Journal Kiys :
"His whole body is covered with a layer
of scabs, which drop off at regular jt
riods in the Spring and Fall, like the
skin of a rattlesnake. He has a very
heavy growth of hair on his head, and a
dark, reddish beard, about six inches
long. His eyes present a frightful ap
pearance, being at least twice tho sire of
the averaged sized eye. Some of his
toes are formed together, which give his
feeia trange apjicarance; and his height,
when standing perfectly erect is about
six feet, fire inches."
This strange creature is amphibious in
his proclivities, or rather he was leforv
he was caged. He lived in the moun
tains of Tennessee, and subsisted on
roots and herbs and raw fish. A band
of horsemen chased him down and
caught him with a lariat, but not until
after he had fighting with his hands,
gorilla fashion seriously wounded onecf
ik pursuers. Such is tho story.
