back Into space and beat a lively ac
companiment to the conclusion of the
tune. Then he looked at Charlie.
"Now, what’s broke with you?” he
demanded. "You ain't stuffed, an’ you
got shoes on your feet.”
"But I cah’t eat my shoes,” Charlie
retorted. “And the two coins I have
left are to pay for my room. And—
what's more. I’m out of a Job.
"Twasn't much—sweeping out offices—
but It meant a roof, and something
to eat.”
The street boy stopped drumming
and looked at him with more interest.
” 'Tls sort o’ bad,” he acknowledged.
"An’ you're bein’ from the country an'
knowln’ nothin' makes It worse.
What’d you come for?”
"Why, to get rich, of course,” Char
lie answered.
"What does anyone
cotne to the city for?"
"Huh I” derisively, “an' here I've
been lookin’ nhcad to goto* Into the
country to get rich. Say. do you have
fellers like me, an' like that crowd
on the sidewalk, up to your country?"
Charlie looked at him, and then at
the hulf-doxen disreputable men who
were Brooking to front of a billiard-
room opposite, and the two or three
women aortlng over an ash barrel, and
the squalid, dirty-faced children play

answered with an expression of dis
gust :
"No, Indeed!"
"Thought so. Then the country’*

at Charlie a little enviously.
"Say, you got horses an' cows an'
dogs an' chickens, an' a pa an' ma. an'
green grass an' Oshto' up there?” he
demanded.
"Of course,” with eager recollection
to his voice; "and miles and miles of

to skate on in the winter.”
"An' you ran away from them—for
