yes maam stole Why John You asked me didnt you Yes I asked you mission teacher replied a sad almost disgust ed expression upon her sweet young face What did you ask me for if you didnt want wo to tell I could a boy went on in a stolid way and yet with a ring of feeling in his voice No you couldnt Johnny teacher answered with a smile be cause you promised me that you would always tell the truth to me Well I didnt go back on it did No Johnny Have you any ob jection to telling mo how often you taken things that didnt belong to you I remember them all boy replied I never lifted anything particular Once when old woman where I hang out got cried a blue streak for oranges and had money to get them I asked old that kept grocery store to trust me for a couple till next day Ho wouldnt do it and that night I stole six from him Why Johnny Why didnt he let rae have em than the boy went on doggedly Id paid cause I said I would Anyhow the old woman got well off them Oranges Then you are not you took them the teacher enquired Well old woman had to have them oranges and somebody had to get them wr her The teachers face was very grave and as her companion looked up be saw the tears her eyes a sight which had a curious effect upon him Dont me tell you any more please maam he said drooping bis eyes while bis face Boshed scarlet I aint nothing but on anyhow and it aint no good to fret about what I do I was kinder drag- into this place else Id never you What name did you call your self the teacher inquired I didnt understand you Granny always said was an and so I am What is Johnny Oh tho leavings of something that aint no good Granny Leeds as you call her was very much mistaken about your self Johnny the teacher replied You are not on but one of own children ha is giv ing you a chance to make something of yourself How much do you think the things are worth that you have taken in oil- Johnny Them oranges were cents apiece when I took them thats and then two loaves of bread that I lifted for two fellows that froze feet last winter and a mackerel to make the bread go down Its tough to eat bread with nothing on it and then a base ball was worth cents and all them things would make near hand to a dollar- I dont remember anything else Well Johnny I shall give you a dollar and I wont you to go to those places and pay for all those things i It Is expected that the affairs of the unfortunate Exchange Bank will bo finally wound up before close of present year The liqui dators have effected a compromise for a debt of them to declare final dividend ten per coat making so aggregate sixty par i up the Then Ill to own boy interrupted Wouldnt you to con fess Johnny the young lady not a little troubled at the effect of her words For a moment the boy seemed lost in and then lifting a frank face to his companion said aint never felt bad about any of them things ball and that I could ft done without but if you say so Miss Ill give tho thing away I aint lifted anything lately and mean to again would me and make me out a thief when aint no such a thing Dont you think it would do maam If I dropped the money in them places so theyd bo sure to Sod If you think so III blow the whole thing if takes mo to the island What will you do Johnny If somebody needs bread and oranges and you havent got any money Thats a And it bo strange if something of that kind hap pen atiy day No maam There something putty generally to pay with the folk I know Well Johnny I will teU yon what to do she replied Here is my card and when any of your ac quaintances are in trouble I wish you would come directly tome and if anything is amies with yon at any time bo sure and send a messenger Too had better come up tomorrow any war Johnny for I want to give you some warm clothes and then it will be easy for yon to find the place next time hong his head The kind ness had overpowered him and not a word could ha I didnt mean to hurt you Johnny the teacher hurried to say You are willing I should help arc yoo not guess yon had better let me git now Miss the boy replied rather huskily you could knock me down with an You neednt worry about my remembering all you said but just now Im all broke up And I can trust you Johnny lady inquired 11 Its a go maam tho boy an swered simply Miss tucked a bill in hand and hurried out of building It took considerable tack and skill as well as time for boy to factorily manage business which his teacher had provided money for For instance grocer from whom he had lifted the oranges had sold out to another and Johnny was obliged to hunt him up He was at last found poor and ill and the boy without a moments hesitation confessed the tbeft and produced the money I guess I can make It cents he said and thatll be a little inter est If I wouldnt to give then you may shoot for a crow The exgrocer was so surprised at Johnnys confession and subsequent generosity that be shook the boys hand heartily and invited him to stop in again soon which the lad as heartily promised to do By nightfall these bad debts as Johnny naively called them were settled then after a scanty meal the boy started out with evening papers About a quarter to he had sold all out and then as fast as his feat would carry him he hurried to neighborhood of the Academy of Music to watch the people go into the building It was opera night and was one of Johnnys greatest pleasures and 60 with his back to the lamppost he gave himself up to the delight of watching the throng Johnny wondered it would be like to drive around in luxurious car riages and have plenty of money to spend on fine clothes He thought of the bread and herring he had eaten for his supper and tried to imagine what it would be lib to have turkey and cranberry sauce every day Every Christmas Johnny had and cranberry sauce for his dinner and he knew by experience- how nice they were He had ridden in an am- bulancewith a friend of his a news boy who had been run oyer by an express wagon and this was the nearest approach to a carriage ride he had over enjoyed Ho wondered as he watched these happy people why it was that some people had all they wanted while others were cold and hungry and sometimes starved to death This was not the time that Johnny had been perplexed with such thoughts but they had made him feel quite so uncomfortable as on this occasion Ho called to mind the warm underclothing and tidy jacket and pants which Miss Leo had given him that day and tried to comfort himself with the thought that thero was person world who cared for him There had been a heavy fall of snow that day and as Johnny still absorbed his thoughts started to cross the street he saw something sparkle in the snow at the side of the crossing There had been a rush of carriages and a few had not been able to pull up to curb As he picked it up he saw that it was an ornament in the shape of a cross and studded with diamonds they were shiners as he called them as soon as he looked at them and with his heart in his throat he tucked tho precious jewel in pocket still it firmly his hand Jobnny ambi tion was to start a coffee and cako establishment where the newsboys could be entertained at low rates For more than a year he bad nursed this object and here was a chance to carry it into execution There were nine stones in the cross Disposing of one at a time to avoid suspicion here was money enough to last him for years and years ho told himself It to know where he could keep the shiners for there wasnt a soul among his acquaintances whom be dare trust with the secret Not until he bad crent into bis povertystricken bed with his treas ure carefully hidden among the straw did the thought occur that he ought to try and find an owner for it Then followed a hard battle between the natural honesty of the lad and bis very natural desire for creature com forts The person could wear a gold thing that chuck he said to himself must have money enough to buy more shiners Hera he was cold and hungry with no prospect before him but be always hungry if not always cold and here were these shiners which set up in business and give him a chance to help Why should he find the owner of the cross when be had rwthlng and the owner bad everything Tola fight continu ed until It was time for the lad to start for tha morning papers All through the of fore noon battle still raged and the newsboys thoughts were so occupied with bis newfound riches that he almost forgot to attend to his cus tomer About halfpast ten as he passed City Hall Park he noticed a gentleman and as he heard the words diamond cross slackened his pace and listened The diamonds were all of the first water gentle an said it was a gift to wife from her father and she is terribly cut up by loss I dont suppose we shall ever find it You will advertise it wont his inquired I CUT OUR Terrific storms are reported in the Province of Greece The P intends to run special train to tho NorthWest for commercial travellers circus train was wrecked last week in Maine and several employees were killed Mr Arthur of Brad- Of course the gentleman re- foot badly squeezed at plied but more than likely it has fallen into dishonest hands and un less reward is equal to value of the diamonds we never see WsWV7sISarurda 1 When the gentlemen separated the pawed one who was interested the diai co t the sawmill one day

death were reported on Thursday The Dominion Government is about to a attain cutler in New York to aid the fishery entered city hall and after I a little enquiry Johnny discovered that this gentleman held a very honorable office in the city After finding this out the lad took a turn around the park to think it Over again Granny Leeds said J was a oil- scouring and Mis Lee I aint argued to himself If I keep these shiners be right and Miss Itfll be wrong said the was giving me a chance to make something of myself Well now the question is urn I or am I not a soouringt If I keep these shiners I am if give them up I aint Well I aint and with these words on bis lips Johnny started for the gentle mans office Nothing daunted he entered and presented himself at desk Some of your folks have lost something they he asked They have said the gentleman Will your honor tell me what it Ulcer ft a gold cross set dia monds and the gentleman describ ed the relative position of the stones It was lost either in Academy of Music last night or on the way from that place Johnnys coat was oft in a twinkl ing and with a rip at the stitches which confined treasure he took it out and put on his coat again I suppose that is it hi said hand ing it to gentleman I wanted to keep the shiners awful bad he continued a up in business them shiners would but you see I couldnt be such a oilscour ing as that though I have been try ing to be a thief all night long If I were you folks he went on Id get a stronger string to hold on them shiners for fear theyd be gone for good next time What is your name the gentle man enquired as the lad with his cap in his hand stood modestly be fore him John boy replied Have you a father and mother 1 was the next question Nobody honor but myself Which would you prefer to do Johnny the gentleman next enquir ed go into business or go to school Well I would rather go to school ten to one Johnny but thero aint show for that We will see said- the gentle man Will you come into ray of fice Johnny I see what is best to be done Yes sir Johnny replied the tears starting in his yea I shall want you to go home with mo in an hour or two and give my wife her diamonds and what thinks of you All right said Johnny brush- away tears Anything to donow honor The following Sunday Johnny went to the mission school for East time and clothes a Miss Leo hard ly knew hi The boy

and ending often only with the termination of a miser able existence About oclock of the eveningof the day of roan passing up Washington Street in was asked by a small boy to buy a paper How is it he Inquired that you havent sold your papers before this These my papers he replied Ive sold all mine are the other little fellows and Im helping him clean em out Where Is other little fellow Oh hes
