Pctoy snfc half nslerp on tho little benci' Ret, npnrt for tlio jncssoiwr boys tlilnkiim If his drowsy iiicdltiitions could bofllgnlfiw by Unit term thinking of tho lontt tramps ho litul been on nml tho probability of nn other one when tlio manager next looked his way. It was raining outside, mid tht streets wero in that mushy Rtnta suggest! ve of cliocolato pudding, with no hint about them of tlio heavy downfall of beautiful snow wblcb had preceded the rain. Petey didn't relish the. idea of going on' again ho was not a "regular" and liml no! ther uniform nor rubber coat. He had beei taken In a special during tho holiday weel. and wasn't quitosuro yet whether liowouh' bo retained or not. As a matter of fuct, ii his present drowsy condition ho didn't car much what happened to him as long as hi wasn't disturbed. Just when his meditations wero assutii Ing a chnotlc mixture In which tho actual and the fancied were Rtrangely combined the cry of "Ncxtl" was called, mid the boy ish form straightened up, the brown eye? wero vigorously rubbed by two very dirty knuckles, which operation did not tend to beautify his countenance by any means, and n very dejected figure presented Itself at the desk in answer to the call. "Here, you, what's your number?" "Eighty-six," drawled Petey, still almost too sleepy to answer. "This call is Tram 017 North Blank street Do yon know where it is?" "Yes, sir," said Petey, whose rare knowl edge of the city had helped him materially In securing tho place. "Well, here's your carfare; don't forge' the tariff; get out." Clapping his hat on his towsled head, which resembled nothing so much as n floor mop, the boy waited for no second in vitation, but. shot out of the door liken flash, only to drop into n gentle sauntei when ho was out of sight of the office. Taking his card out of his hat he solilo quized as he walked nleng: "Swell neigh borhood! I suppose they want mo to go tr do caterers or tie florists. Dem nabobs allii1 has some such job like dat for us poor fel lers. A messenger boy's life ain't no snap, I kin tell yon," ho remarked sagely to him self ns ho stopped to watch n fight between a yellow dog and a stub tailed cat that had just run out of the alley adjoining a print ing ofllcei When tabby had vanquished, her enemy Petey proceeded on his way, and after several encounters with sundry street gamins and a parley with nn apple woman about the price of her wares he surreptitiously mounted the steps of a northward bound street car, cautiously uvoidingtho eyes of the driver, and settled himself for a good time with a thrilling talo of tho plains, w.bich ho drew from his pocket, and the two apples which ho had bulldozed from the woman for the price of one. Somehow the adventure of "Mark, the Cowboy," failed to interest him today, the jingle of tho bells, tho steady drip, drip of the rain and tho ever increasing number of passengers necessitating his jumping on and off at almost every square did not tend to the undisturbed enjoyment of his men tal feast. He therefore fell back upon his own thoughts for company, and viewed in detail his life since ho had entered the serv ice of tho "A. D. T." Ho smiled grimly as lie thought of tho baby which ho had held for two mortal hours while its mother shopped from one department to another. It wasn't a good baby, and he had been obliged to walk up and down with it trot and sing to it. He had slapped it once at this thought the smile broadened into a ilendish grin. Some one -passing by had suggested that it was hungry, uuother thought that a pin was sticking into it and a third was certain that it had the colic. Petey knew that It was nothing but temper, but what could ho do but walk, trot and sing, and when that mother returned was it not unkind of her to snatch the Infant from his arms, and ex claim In a voice for all to hear, "What did tho naughty little boy do to mother's angel?" while the miserable "angel," with a look of unholy satisfaction, cuddled down in the woman's arms and .never shed an other tear? He thought it all over again, the day that he went for the undertaker; the maid en lady he escorted to the theater, as she was quite too young to go to a place c-f amusement without a chaperon; the bun dles that he had carried; the candy that he had bought and the notes he had delivered, aud he came, to tho conclusion that school life wasn't so bad after oil. The car by this time was nearlng the neighborhood where he wished to alight, so he swung off with that easy grace that the children of the streets are quick to acquire and sauntered leisurely along tjie pave ment. It was a very elegant section thut he found himself In. A great square In the centeand large, substantial looking stone houses facing it on each side. A few chil dren with their nurses were playing In the park, and at several doors well appointed carriages were In waiting. No. 617 wus a corner house as handsome as those about it, and with a wing built out on a side street, which was evidently a conservatory, Petey took all this In at a glauce, and as he ran up the broad steps and peeped In through the silken vestibule curtains he murmured, 'Hero's richness." A trim little maid with a snowy cap and f P.uni Tv" V'e door at"l told him to 7r.

" the room be knew tha the original of the picture was before him, "How long yon have been!" wni tho first greeting that he received from tlio ladv, who, despite her youth and rich attire, looked anything but happy. "I suppose you loitered on the way. Messenger boys nlwuysdo. Tliere isnot one litto belli tho service, not one, and If I had my way they all should be discharged. Hero I havo waited nearly an hour for you and rung up the oflico a dozen times." "I came as soon as I could." anoloclzed Petey. "It's a long ways from de offus'." He didn't think it necessary to tell of the ttolen rido or tho sauntering prior to It. "Well, I suppose you did," smiled the Lady, showing the loveliest teeth and cute little dimples in that one fleeting burst of sunshine, "hut I needed you so much that Ipresumo It seemed longer than It really was. You are very small," she remarked abruptly, sizing up tho llttlo figure before her. "I'm going on 14," answered Petey, re senting tho Implied youthf illness of his ap pearance. "Maybe It is as well. Now, do you think you could do something very Important, something that I would trust to no one else, and something for which, If you are successful, 1 will pay you, say, $10?" "Try me, ma'am," enthusiastically re sponded IMey, hoping, however, that It was not another baby. "You haven't any uniform," noting for the first time this lack on tho boy's part. "No, ma'am; I ain't a reg'lar only took fur do holidays." "So much the better. You won't look un like a hundred other boys who play in the streets and will attract less attention on that account. Now, come with me in here, aud I will tell you what 1 want you to do." She led the way into tho conservatory, and Petey, nothing loath, followed In the wake of the trailing silken gown. Shu told him to nit down on a low stool in tho win dow, which ho hud noticed from the street, where he could see all tho piii-sersby with out one of them knowing that ho was there. Tho lady stood back of him and gave her instructions in a low voice that trembled with emotion at times and then became harsh and almost metallic. "You see that largo building opposite, ncross the square? That is a clubhouse. I want you to wait here with me until a tall, fair man, with a long coat, comes out of it. He is my husband. I want you to follow him from the time lio leaves that door until he returns to this. You will then be ad mitted here, where you can watch for his exit. Tlien you must follow again. I want rou to do this until I tell you to stop. You understand? Here is $10 for your expenses. You boys knosv how to get into pliices where other people cannot. Now you will watch with me until ho conies out; then you start. I think jou know what I want." "But tho ofllcel" gasped Petey, who had not anticipated doing detective work. "What will they think when 1 don't show up?" "Oh, that'll bo all right!" replied the lady in tho inconsequent way rich people have of looking at the affairs of others not so well off in tho world. "Trust me, I will see that you are no worse oil by entering my employ. "Tliere," slio suddenly exclaimed, "there ho is now! Goat once, und do not lose sight of him for an instant." In less time than it takes to tell Petey was out of the house, across the square and following in tho wake of a tall, broad shouldered man, who stiolled along all un conscious of tho small shadow at his heels. Into another club he went, then out again and down into the more thickly settled portion of tho city where offices abound. Into a tall building, with ever n shabby littlo boy copying his movements, up in the elevator together went tho man and his shadow. The door of the wire cage clicked, the man vanished into an office, and Petey wa3 left outside In the hall. What was ho do ing inside tho door? If it were only glass, so that Petey could glance in now aud thunl Maybe there was another way out, und he would miss him after all. At this horrible thought Petey grew bold, aud drawing up one leg and assuming tho beggar's whine, ho pushed open tho door und walked confi dently in. The room was filled with clerks, who glared at him, aud ono roared, "Get out!" but it didn't matter, for in that brief interval ho saw that his jnnn was there all right, and that he couldn't get out save by the way that ho went in. Therefore Petey was satisfied to wait in tlm shadow of tha hallway until he emerged. He then followed him to tho top of nn other big building, where hehad luncheon, and Petey's $10 bill did good service here, as he sat dowu and ordered a bteak uud a cup of coffee. He didu't dare tncklo any of the unknown dishes on the bill of fare that the quizzical waiter set before him, but stuck to what he knew how to pro uouuco and the tasto of which ho was ac quainted with. Kiglity-flvo cents seemed a pretty big sum for such a littlo meal, but then Petey was wise enough to know that he had to pay for style and didu't expect eating house prices. The rest of the day was spent In a weary tramp from one place of business to an other, in uoiioof which his man staid over 20 minutes. Petey was getting pretty tired when the tall, broad shouldered figure stopped ata jeweler's, and his weary follow er was permitted to rest for awhile. When he had made his purchases, he camo out and ordered a cab. Instantly Petey secured another, and they tore ou out of tho busi ness section until they drew up before the very house they had quitted in tho morning. "This Is satisfactory," thought Petey. "I can rest for a little while ut least." He went to the kitchen door, and a littlo while later the lady came to him for particulars of his day's work. She seemed rather dis appointed at the details of tho morning, but when ho mentioned the jeweler's her eyes flashed with lire as she strode up and down, regardless of the eyes of the watch er. "Ho bought komething at the jewel er's, did he? That but confirms my sus picion. What was It, boy? You do not know? Hwstupldl Nevermind, It does not matter. Oh, the base, deceitful wretchl And I loveil him so!" Here she broke down in ft very torrent of tears that poor Petey was powerless to assuage. The next day, after a comfortable night's rebt below stairs, Petey was summoned to the conservatory and In u few minutes the banging of the hall door gave him his sig nal. The lady, however, changed his direc tions bomewhat by telling him to report that evening at the house of a friend, where she Intended to spend the day. Petey's work ou the second day was not as arduous as on the first occasion, and he was about thlnkUig that his man meant to tnr in his office forever when he came out, told the porter to call a cab and consulted bis watch anxiiiu-iy every iiuw aim tui-u before the vehicle in rived. Petey was used to his actions by this time, noted the un usual impatience and concluded at once that at last he was about to discover some thing worth telllug his pretty employer. tk tlm. vraM too short for Mm to tecure another cab, but that did not matter much, I aa ho bod often before thU rested oa tb hack of ft orrl8g ad Jolted over the stones for many ft mile In that uncomforta ble position. Therefore he but waited for tho start to hang on behind, half sitting, at times running, and ever anxious lest some envious boy would give the warning cry. "Cut behind," and he would have to walk. Fortune favored him, however, and he rode on over the stones undisturbed, and was spry enough to Jump off before tho fate alighted at a great station, where tho puff of the engines told of the ever ebbing and flowing tide of travel. The well knit figure rushed up the steps. the smaller one but a few steps behind, and topped out Into tho waiting crowd just ns a train drew Into the station. From the cumber of passengers that passed through tho gates a lady, heavily veiled, stepped aside, and the tall man made a little, quick rush toward her, nud without more ado hurried her dowu stairs again to tho wait ing cab. Petey was not close enough to hear the words, but there was no mistaking the warmth of the greetng. "Ah, ha," thought Petey, "I sees which way the laud lays. Yesterday do bird buys dlmints, nml today he meets ft lady what's closely veiled. I see It all," and with uuother chuckle ho re sumed his position on the back of the cab. On and ou they go, tho street they are coming to Is familiar to tho amateur de tective, aud before he has time to recover from his surpriso the cab draws up before 017. "Here's a go," he says to himself, as the passengers ulight. "Men what meets ladies don't bring them to their house. Leastwise, I wouldn't If it was me. But" and hero ft light beams on Petey's clouded brain. "My, but he's foxy," Is tho Invol untary homage that ho pays the man he has watched for two days. "The missus Is away. It couldn't bo safer. He knows a thing or two, does that one. He's ft dandy, ho is. Well, I'll just scoot around and tell what's going on, and then hang around aud see the fun." The house ho wentto was almost as hand Rome us the one he just left. In answer to his inquiry for Mrs. Brydo he was shown Into u cozy little nest all blue and white, where sat tlio lady whom ho sought, with traces of recent tears on her cheeks, and an other to whom she has evidently been tell ing her woes. "Ah, hero is Petey at last," she exclaims as tho messenger boy comes In. "Now tell me what you huve discovered today." "Yes, ma'am, but" and ho glances in voluntarily at the other lady. "Oh, that's all right, speak out. You see," she says, turning to her friend, "even this boy has some delicacy about mention ing tho horrible discoveries he has made. My dear, I need your sympathy and your friendship now ns I never needed it before." "Well, ma'am," commenced Petey, "somethln orful has happened today," and he pauses like n trained actor to note tho effect of his words. "I knew It," sobbed the wife, while the other, despite her friendly interest, looked keenly alive to thorevelation she was about to listen to. "Hodidn'tdonothinmuch this roornln, but this afternoon, ma'am, he took u cab and drove to the station, where ho met a veiled lady, and I'll be blowed if ho didn't take her to your house, and she's there now," he concluded in a positive whirlwind of satisfaction as he noted tho sensation he had produced. "Alice, you hear you, dear, will be wit nesslittle boy, I can never thank you enough. At my house, did you say? Alice, did you did you ever hear of anything so shameless? I will go around there now and show him I am not tho meek mouse he takes me for. And the woman just wait until she hears what I have to say to herl Oh, It is awful, awful!" and she rocked her self to nnd fro in tho very frenzy of her grief while her friend pinned on her hat. Petey assisted with her overshoes, and the frightened maid managed to button her gloves and help heron with her wrap. How they got around to the house Petey never could tell; the few squares were tra versed on ft run and several people stopped to watch their very unconventional method of progress. With her fingers pressed od tho electric button with nervous eneryy Mrs. Bryde sent a thrill through the whole house that brought the maid to the door in double quick time. "Where is he where is she?" she de manded, as she rushed by the girl and with Petey at her heels hurried up the thickly carpeted stairs to the floor above. With a face as white as death, and hands that trembled as with palsy, she threw open the door of her room and stood aghast upon tho threshold. Petey, who at this time was nerved up to face almost any de nouement, peeped in expecting to se3 he knew not what, and was decidedly disap pointed at the very mild and gentle tableau that greeted his eyes. In a rocking chair sat an old lady, while by her side stood the man whom he had watched with a leather case in his hand. That was all, aud more over they did notlook ono bltgullty, though decidedly surprised. "Mother," cried Mrs. Bryde as she rushed into the arms held out to her, "when did you come?" "Only just arrived, my dear. Jack had prepared my visit as a little surprise for you, but some one must have told you. We were great couspirators, we two, my big son and I, hoping to have mo arrive in time for your birthday, and more telegrams and letters havo been exchanged than I would c&re to confess. You know It is al most as bad as moving a menagerie to get an old woman like myself from homo in the winter. Wedid It pretty well, dearie, didn't we? though I can see that Jack Is provoked because you caught sight of the present he meant to keep tor tomorrow. Never mind, dear, orn. dny sooner won't make much difference after all. How strangely you act, dear. Aren't you glad to see me?" "Yes, mother, dearest, only only I am so surprised." And the poor little wosian, who had expected a blow to her life's hap piness, now that It had turned out so dif ferently, did as all women do after the dan ger is over calmly fainted away, Petey at this move slipped out in the ball to wait further developments and was not surprised to be called into the room when Mrs. Br) de had fully recovered. He found her sitting with one hand In her mother's, the other in her husband's. "And those letters which you wouldn't let me see were from mother,' ' she was saying as he entered. "What a foolish, suspicious little woman I have been. Ah, Petey l" as she caught bight of the small figure, "Jack, here Is the lit tle boy that has done me a great service, and I want you to give him a place In your office as auother birthday present to me will you, Jack?" A kiss on the trembling lips and a look of love into the wistful eyes was sufficient unswer, and thus it happened that PeUy never answered another call, and ft new boy bits and dreams on the bench In the oflico of the A. D. T. company. Philadelphia Times. A Decided Help. "But, Mrs. Monks, wby do you always play the piano when your husband la writ- fna?" "Because V. Is necessary.

Armed Europe waits upon the ultimate inundate of ono man. "Tho heaven for height," says Solomon, "tho earth for depth, and tho heart of kings is unsearchable." Czar Alexander III has two ruling emotions a horror of war and a hatred of Germany. Tho problem is, Which passion in him shall conquer the other? Trammeled by no parliament, influenced neither by re sponsible ministers nor by personal fa vorites, the big, lonely despot is wres tling out that problem single handed. It is an awful position. Thoro is no real publio opinion in Rus sia whose voico might sway the auto crat. He must fight out his own battlo with himself. Probably no solution would better please him individually than a general disarmament, but that is hopeless. We must leave him to his wrestlings with himself. Meanwhile, at all events, there ia a period of reasona bly assured respite. Russia is neyer quite ready, and the millennium will probably surprise her in her chronic at titude of unreadiness. At present she is swapping not horses, but. rifles. A year ago there was not a magazine riflo In the Russian army, and the great ma jority of her soldiers are still armed with the improved "Berdan," a very in ferior weapon both to tho German and the Austrian, rifle. But Russia retains still tho warning memory of her fearful losses before Plev na from the Remingtons, which America placed in the hands of the Turks, and with which her obsolete Krenkes could not cope. After much tedious experi menting, a year ago a definite selection was made of a weapon known as the "three lino" rifle, and the production and issue of this firearm are being pushed forward with great energy. But you cannot, order in 2,500,000 rifles ns yon can a bundle of toothpicks. I believe that, about a third of tho requisite quan tity is now delivered. It is absolutely impossible that the equipment can be completed and the troops trained to the use of tho new weapon within the present year. 1 1 seems extremely improbable that this result can be attained beforo tho spring of 18D0. The opportunity for war I do not say tho certainty of war will como when Russia shall havo completed the equip ment of her hosts with the "three line" rifle. Archibald Forbes in North-American Review. Secretary Palmer's Greek Sign. Ever since tho secretary of stato's oflico was removed from the old Btatchouso at tho corner of Eagle and Pine streets to tho new capltol tho clerks and the secretary on the Washington avenue side huve looked out on that littlo paiutsbop and tho sign "John Palmer, Painter." About slxyearr ago one stormy day in winter, the monot ony of the sight was suddenly broken. A great cloud of black smoke burst from the windows and doors of the palntshop. Fire had started among the pots and oil cans, and of tho establishment nothing was left In a few minutes but the old front wall. While deploring tho loss the proprietor had met with, the clerks in tho secretary of state's oflico were glad to havo removed John Palmer's oflico window, which con sisted of one largo pane of glass on which was inscribed in finely ornamented capi tal letters the Greek word for "painter." The word had greatly annoyed the clerks. Those who could not translate It wero sorry their classical education had been neg lected, and those who could felt that it be longed on tho secretary of state's window instead of on the little paint shop across tho way. When the building wus repair ed, the paint shop looked just tho same as it did before, but the annoying Greek word was not restored. Syracuse Herald. rant Jflorgue Statistic!. That center of grewsomo interest, tho Paris morgue, yields curious statistics. The official report for 1893 shows that 009 corpses were received, a fow moro men than women.
