Tad emerged on tin.' opposite side of the track, with the encouraging cry
of Mn]i, thn ringing in his ears, ju^i in nine to confi .lit tin- liltiocoated otlu ial. who, in sumo iiifxjlit':v"tile wav, ha"l reached the spot as (|uii-k-lv us himself.

I Vain hope! As he hurried between the rows of as yet unoccupied chairs. rattle of the conductor's key was heard in the rear door at which lie was I hoping to escape, while the shiltlle of I feet, ami sound of voices, at the door which he ha"l entered, told Tad that he was fairly trapped.

The cars were in motion! In his excitement the possibility of such a contingency had entirely- escaped Tad'mind... lb- was almost oh the point of "Scrambling'to his feet 'and calling out to the conductor to stop tin- train, but. reiiieinliiVring the .lUipicasnnt results which., would 'probably billow such a iu-owdnrt', Tad sank helplc-sly back info-liis iiiche. He felt as though the chnilecsAVorc that the conductor would not -believe his storv, and lie would probably-be. given' into custody—bag and baggage---at the next station. So, of.two ev ils, he. chose the one which seemed the least, comforting himself \w*li the assurance that the train would probably arrive at its destination very soon, when he could slip oil' unobserved. '1 iii' voice of.d's lady—as he mentally termed her-— disturbed his perplexed reverie.
What tunc i-m wo get in. John, dear?" -he asked. a« i-hc settled her ,1'ect on the coiiifortalile h^ss,.ek.
From liellind his paper John, dear," was understood to mutter that., proviiied tin- train didn't run oil' the track or over an embankment, they were due about, eight a. m. on the following morning in the city of 'Boston
HnHon. oh gimmiuy crickets! I hive been and gone and done it now!" gasped poor Tad. who in moments of excitement was apt. to use language which at other times he rather prided himself on avoiding, because his mother used to dislike it so. Tad had a vague impression that Huston was a sort of large country town in a far-oll region known as "down East." Further than this lie knew not, except that it was sometimes called the "Hub." and seemed to be a sort of headquarters for culture—whatever that was— and baked beans. At least so he read •in the city papers.
But, in his small way, -Tad was something of a philosopher, lie had not yet learned that through seeming misfortjunos the great Fatherhood leads Ilis oliildreu in just the way that proves •best in the end—this knowledge was to iconic. All he could 1TJ was to keep 'from useless fretting, and accept the 'situation us coolly as possible. Therefore, settling down aa comfortably as ,ho could, T.vl gave himself up to hard ithlnking, and, quite naturally, his miud [Went backwail as well as forward.
Tail's father had been a soldier iu the regular armv and when, a tew mouths before, the news had arrived that ho was killed iu a skirmish with the Indians on the frontier, his mother, never verv strong, had seemed to receive her own death-blow. She grew paler anil thinner, till at length she had to give up work, from lack of strength to run her sewing-machine, which helped to earn their daily bread. And tiually, when the end came, the sale- of the sewing-machine itself, together with their scanty stock of furniture, barely sutliced to pay the poor woman's burial expcii.-es. It is a common story enough. Hundreds of broken hearted, overworked, half-Miirved women all over the land have li\i-l and died after the same fashion, and will till the millennium come-. Yet this fact doe not comfort the orphans they leave behind them. Certainly, it was no comfort to Tad, who was nearly wild with grief at the los of the one being whom he had to love in tin- wide world. Only tor things I that hi.- mother said to him before she fell asleep. 1 fear Tad would have drifted into the ways of too many ot our city boys who, like him. an- left lioiue-le.-s and friendless amid temptation and sin. Hut the bov had good stutl in him, and, bi^t of all, he held hi:- mother's memory and parting words as something too sacred to be forgotten. 1 do not claim that be was one of those immaculate street boys common enough in fiction, but. alas! ,-o rare in fact. By no mean-. Truth compels nie to state that Tad Thorno at the age of fourteen was rather rude in speech, i|uiek-tcm-pei'ed and the owner of a decidedly obstinate disposition, which, however, I shall

addressed,.but by the way lie threw himself into the chair and immediately unfolded a newspaper, from behind which he vouchsafed a brief frrunt in reply. Tail imagined him to.be the lady's hu-b-iiid.
Su-pendinirher heavy, fur-lined cloak from a hook at the compartment end. the lady patted and pulled its long folds into place behind the chair-back, and for a moment Tail'.-? heart almost stopped beating, as her gloved lingers once or twice actually gra/.cd hi* hair.

Vet. do you wonder at his faults? The only wonder to myself is that Tad did not become a really bad boy: for -mfe his mother's death.he had, as one may say. almost lived in the streets, l-or Tad had no home. A friendly newsvender gave liini lodgings under his periodical counter iu the city postoffice. iu return for which Tad sold papers or ran errands. And. in odd moments lie had managed to keep ^oiil and body together by blacking boots, peddlinir matches, carrying valises, holding hor.-c.-. and a score of other device- known to tlii' average street boy. 1 have mentioned Tad's faults now let me tell you some of his better qualities. lie was honest, clcan-mouthcd.and. geueraPy .-peaking, truthful, as well as kind-hearted and generous to an extravagant degree. lb' had attended the night schools—attracted at (irst by their warmth and comfort—where he learned to read creditably, spell fairly, write legibly and ingly. lint,with hi respects over th
Boston!
lplii-r tmiler.-tanil-uperiority in many associates among
whom his lot of late had been thrown, 'fail, in thinking mailers over, had to confess that, iu a business point of view, he had been any tiling but a success. The truth is. Tad was not sharp or unscrupulous enough to compete with his fellows but this fact he did not rei.-iigui/.e.' 1 guess I'm not one of the ltieky oni'S." lie murmured, rather ruefully, as he mentally reviewed his many business failures, while the swift train, which was bearing him away from tin scene of tin an all, to fresh liei,"\s niu pastures new, went thundering on through the il.-irknes- toward Boston.
As Tail's thoughts reverted
from the pa-t. the name repealed itself over in hi- mind. Seems as though heard mother say once thai 1 had an Aunt lihoda who lived in Boston, or Bangor.- or—anyway, it was a phn that began with B. somewhere 'down Hast." anuscd Tad Not rhat hoped, expected or even desired to meet this, the only relative lie knew of in the world. It was enough to remember that she had never held communication with Mrs. Thorne."since her marriage.ti Some one houi her older si.-ler Khod did not, like. And a slight" ollV-red ti hi.- mother was in Tad's eyes an tillpardoiiable.ollen.se.
But. so' much thinking, together with the warmth of I he' steam-heating pi at, iiis back atid the even, on-rushin movement of the train, began to mak Tad drowsy. IVeping out of bis hiding place, he could see that many of the passenger- were disposing thcnisch for uneasy slumber, anil, judging by certain sounds from tin chair in front of him. 'l'-nl'- lady was already in dream land. So. leaning his head back against the fur-lined cloak which bad alrcadv served liini such a good turn, and, being Used to sleeping in all sorts of postures and place.-.'fad fell fas! asleep in no time. Bou-iug himself at intervals long enough in silently change his cramped position, Tad'passed the long night iu comparative comfort, until with the dawn of morning all began to shake oil' their drowsiness, and to struggle into more, comfortable positions, as they grumbled about not having slept a wink during the night.
Tail's lady was not exactly cross, but Tad noticed that she called her husband Mr. Mason, instead of "John, dear," as on the evening before, when she asked him how lie had rested. And ho also noticed that Mr. Mason's voice was rather sharp as he replied that tin: confounded chair had given liini tfiret1 distinct kinks in his backbone, and while economy was well enough in its place, by George! another time he'd have his own way, anil tnke a section in a "sleeper," aa sure as his name was John Mason! "So. my lady is 'Mrs. John Mason,'" Tad thought himself, trying iu hi9 imagination to picture her face from the sound of her voice, and failing entirely. But without well knowing why, lie resolved not to forget the name of the lady who—as he mentally expressed it—"belonged to the fur-lined cloak." Otheriiiiiilcss pleasant thoughts began to obtrude theiusuives, as the
morning' wore on. Now tlcit he was so mar his destination. Tad's growing anxiety as to his future movements contrasted rather strongly with Ui« philosophy of the previous evening. "I'll get something to eat, first of all." linTilly decided Tad. resolving not to lav any plans till this important duty had iieen pel-formed, lie had a cash capital of ten cents, together with two boxes of matches as a balance of stock iu trade, so that he felt Mire of a. breakfast not a luxurious one. it is true—but. like a stale bun, \ery tilling for the price.
Hcsiiles, there was the sachel he could readily rai-e something on il at the pawnbroker's. "Hut that don I. seem to be doiiiLT the sijuare thing by the high-toned old party, after all. miiM'il Tad. thoughtfully', "for even if don't ever run across him again which the ni'eille-iii-thc-ha\stack business isn't a circumstance to the chances of doini the bag isn't mine, after all. 1 wonder what's inside," he continued, curiously, as h«' lifted it to hi- lap- "a box of paper collars, and a tooth-bru-h. or a lot of I housan'-dollar bond:-? Hilt his newly-awakened curiosity remained unirratilied. Tin* saehel was securely linked, and it- peculiarly-shaped key., was probably at that moment in the tall gentleman's pocket, wherever the individual himself might be.
Must be something' vaiu'ble in there, else it would't be fas'ncd up so close: and. if that's so, the owner T1 advertise it. Anyway, I'll haiiir on to it till I liud out." was Tad's final decision. lie would no more have thought of forcing the lock to saii-fy curiosity than of breaking open a money-drawer.
A general .-tir amoivj the passengers, together witli certain fragment- of conversation .which reached Tad's ear. warned him that the end of hi- journey was at hand. Mrs. John Mason wa.- among those who bciran getting in readiiies- for departure. As. detaching the cloak from the hook, she witliiln-w its rich folds from behind her chair, Tad lightly touched the soft fur of the lining by way of a mute fan-well: after doing which he began making his own preparations for leaving. That is. he buttoned his threadbare jaeki-t tiirhtly about him. ran his tinu'ers through his mop of curly hair :ind pulled a shabby cloth cap well iver his forehead. Then, with a fastbeating heart, Tad awaited the tinale.

if tuniing away 'fail
suiiiieniy observed a \oung man whom he remembered having seen at tin. Broad Street station on ike'previous evening. A small bluish -car above hb right eyebrow had tirst attracted Tail's attention, while the person in question was standing by the soive, quite near his own seat. At the time. Tad had vaguely wondered whether the man might not have been a soldier, like hi.own father, and, perhaps, been wounded by a bullet in the same battle. '•Yes, sir" thought 'fad. closely eveing the stranger, who, in turn, washarply scrnlinizing those who were leaving the. cars, as though atchine for some fellow-passenger, "that's tin same identical chap. and, what's more. In' added, with growing interest, "1 believe he's the very fellow wlin hollered "There lie is!' when I popped out from under the cars. 1 relncmbet him by his gold-mounted teeth, too!"
For this young man. who wore a sort of chronic smile, as though pleased with his own thoughts, made a frequent display of some artistic dentist'c handiwork. But the current of Tad't thoughts took a suddenly unexpected turn.
Sure enough," he muttered, audibly, in answer to an inward suggestionit's the likeliest thing iu the world', why didn't I think of it before?"
Acting ujion a hasty impulse, Tad approached the object of his conjecture, and touched his elbow. 6av, mister, he eagerly asked, as the young mail started violently, "you hain't, seen nothing of a tall party in an ulster coat idown to his heels, carrying a blanket done up in a shawl-strap, anywhoro'i Inboard this train, hnve you?" A ci* •rious look of interest—I hiul almost
r6aid
exultation—flashed across tin
'stranger face as his sharp gray eyes, which were set curiously near together, seemed to take in Tail, his shabby clothes and the small sachel, at on{ comprehensive gluiwi.
"What do you want to know that for?" was the response, given iu a pleasant voice.
So's to see whether you knowed or not," guardedly answered Tad. who, for some reason not plain to himself, had already repented his impulsive question of the moment before. The stranger was well dressed and well appearing, but Tad's contact with the "seamy side" of life had made hint rather distrustful of men and their motives, and with his answer lie began to edge away from his new acquaintance. Yet so far from seeming oll'cinlcd at Tad's not overpolite reply, the young man smiled more agreeably than ever. "See here, my good lad." he said, genially, "that little bag iu your hand looks considerably like one that the party you were asking nie about—who,

Settee -at the Broad Street station,' I'liiladclphia, in his hurry to catch this verytrain that we have both returned to Boston in, and you," patting 'fad pleasantly on the shoulder, "are the honest boy that I saw pick it up and run after the owner to return it to him. But how happens it that you have not found Mr. Richard- my friend'.- name—-you must have eomc on with u-. and so"
Here Mr. Jones stopped abruptly, and began staring very hard at the few remaining passengers who were running the gauntlet of a throng of peiined-up haeknn-n. vociferating in dilTereiit keys. "Why. confound it!" he exclaimed, here I've been standing talking, and

But it's all right."—lie went on, thrusting his hand into an inside pocket as he spoki—"for when Kichards telegraphed back from Jersey City to the Broad Street station, lie oll'ered ten dollars for, the return of the papers. So. if I give you the money and take the bag. it'll be just the same, besides saving you a long walk up-town, eh?"
But. Tail cheerfully' replied that he didn't mind the walk, particularly as lie wanted to see what, tin- imvu W .s like. "Bo-ton's quite a little place, after all." he patronizingly remarked, with a glance nt-the busy -trcels. 'Mr. June- warmly commended Tad's resolution, as w:cll as the slight touch of caution which it implied. "1 see that you've cut your eveteeth, my boy." he .-aid. with an approving -mile, "and it'.- always well to be on one'.- guard, while there is so much dishonesty in the world. I In tin whole," continued Mr. Jones, after an instant's reflection, "your plan i- best, so suppose we have breakfast together at a restaurant first of all, and then I'll take you up to the ollice, .where Richards is.""All right." returned Tail, briefly, with more particular reference to the certainties of something to eat, whatever other uncertainties might be in store for him. And, secretly, 'fad fell quite able to take care of himself, even though everv thing was not all
riirht -which lie had, no particularly well-iletined reasons for doubtine As they walked alonjr together through the busy thoroughfares Mr. •Jones chatted ajrreeably of the men and thing- encountered on the way. lie hoped Tail would not ret cold through the sudden change of climate, asiheraw easterly wind swept sharply round tincorners of ihe irregular streets, and lie even offered to carry the sachel forliim, so that 'fad mi^lil keep his hands warn, by putting them iu his pockets. Hut 'fail replied: Oh. 110—he didn't mind the wind: he gin-.-sed he could stand ii as well as other fellows could that, went round the "Hub."
Mr. Jones, with his perpetual -mile, Paid some! hinj about a "capital pun," and led the way into a larjre eatinfrliouse, where, at the liineii-coimtcr, 'I ad speedily bejran discussinir a breakfast which was proportioned to his appetite—thanks to Mr. Jones, who himself .seemed to do ample justice to the coffee, cakes, beefsteak and fried potatoes which he had ordered for both. But, hunjrry though lie was, Tail did not forget to occasionally {ilance from the corner of his eye at the little sachel on the counter, near his plate, lie had fully decided not to let it, go out of his keeping for one moment, until if was returned to the proper owner.
