CHAPTER LII.

For three days l watched the faces and
studied the characters of the young men
whom 1 was assisting to examine, but
chiefly kept my eyes on this young
Candido Ives, who fascinated me not only
by the resemblance TO my friend that lurk-
ed in his face and bearing, hut by the half
indolent power which seemed TO lurk in
his nature. He was keen, but his keen
ness was not the sharp inquisltiveness of
the North, but certain stiletto-like thrust
coming unawares from so soit hand.
asked the president once more about him.
"He is a strange fellow" said he "and has
strange tastes. He always seems out of
place here; he makes enemies of every
one, yet somehow he is at the head and foot
of enterprise. We never have caught him
at anything mean or vicious, yet l think
he is as subtle as as the devil I" and the
old gentleman brought out the word with
an emphasis which strangely reminded
me of Ralph's own pounce upon the same
word in the oration which he never deliv-
cred. The more puzzled over him, the
less was inclined to try TO solve the mys-
terry by speaking TO him.
So II came about that / stayed through
all the exercises and went back 10 my par
ish. Yet the image of hat young man fol-
lowed me and haunted me. was glad to
accept so good an excuse as commence
ment at ST. Johns, for making another
visit there. 1 went and took my place
with others of my class, and classes near
mine that marched in that customarly
waving line from East college TO Alumni
Hall where the commencement exercises
were held. My old friend, Treat, Chree
years my junior and sat next each other
in the hall. He, too, had come up alter a
long absence from the place, and our talk
was mainly of our contemporaries. We
looked over the program for the day.
"The old names get repeated" said he.
"There is Ames. We had an Ames, you
know, in our class. Hubbell. Wonder il
he is any relation to Peter, who lived in
that little hut by himself ON New street
,, Ives. Look hear, Bulleri Has Ralph
turned up againH Well, you were singular
ly mum about him. Just look at the sub
ject of his isoration, Murder will ont That's
a curious topic for fresh young fellow tC
choose" So he ran on, while my own
eyes stared at the lille OF Candido Ives ora
tion. I felt a shudder as il this young man
were TO stand there and disclose his faith
er's secret before the whole audience anC
before me l waited feverlshly for his
speech. It was the last OF the Oratlons be-

NO. 80.

"oh be lives with you, does he ?" said
the official land he's your fatherS"
"Yes, sir"
"And why don't he go out and drive the
boys awayH"
"Bless you" said Miss Simmons, smil-
ing at the officers innocence, "he wouldn't
drive away anybody. He's as weak as
kitten"
$50 when you're not there he is afraid, is
her"
"Yes, and sometimes when 1 am at home
and the boys come round shooting their
torpedoes and groaning, he bothers me so,
hanging on 10 me, that cannot work."
"What do you do, Miss Simmons ?" said
the officer, leaning forward and getting in
terested.
"Tm dressmaker," returned the child,
'and sometimes 1 make work-shirts and
overalls."
"And do you get plenty 10 dol
"Pretty plenty, though these are rather
hard times, don't you think ?" said she
with great air of business.
"Yes, they are, truly" returned the Off
cer "Miss Simmons, I'll call down TO see
you, and promise the boys shall STOP"
The child thanked him, and turning
round walked quietly out. It was painful
as well as amusing to see her. There was
no CLEAN of childishness in her blue eyes,
no skipping along the sidewalk with the
exuberant step of youth. If she had ever
known a child's life she gave bo evidence
of 1t then, but seemed one on whom years
OF sad experience had been laid while vet
she was almost in her cradle. And the
officer visited her house and found II as
she had said. The father had lost the use
of his limbs in a great measure, and from
one cause or another was imbecile and
helpless. He watched her as a babe watch
es its mother, ready to smile when she
petted him, but as ready to whine piteous-
ly when she denied him attention. 1t was
in the morning when the officer visited the
house, but he found the two little rooms as
neat as wax, and as If fresh from the hands
of an experienced housekeeper. When
Miss Simmons got ready to leave for her
work she turned to the little old man as IL
he were baby, and putting marbles and
blocks and wooden soldiers on The floor
back soon, Nathan" she said, cheerily, as
she rumpled up his hair and patted his
head. ppm going to get nickles and dimes
and quarters for you. Then we'll have
fun"
And she went out while he sat gazing
aner her with a half-conscious smile on
his withered face, but a look of perfect
trust and confidence in her. 1t was a
strange sight, that infancy leading age, the
birdling guarding the nest, and yet only
strange because preternaturally exhibited.
For the days come quickly when childhood
glides into stately age and age into depend
ent chldishness, and the space Is so brief
between them that we hardly note the
change.
The boys do not trouble Miss Simmons
now, for the kind officer has warned them
not TO annoy her, and besides, her life has
become known through the officers story,
and, instead of throwing torpedoes, the
bigger boys stand aside respectfully TO let
her pass, and say to each other in the midst
of boisterous revelry, and with instant ef-
feet, "Hush, boys! here comes Miss Sim

little Miss simmons.

"I want to see the person in charge"
These were the words that saluted the
ear of distinguished officer who presldes
at West Side police station. The officer
turned and beheld a child, little girl of
about nine years of age, standing on tiptoe
so as to rest her chin upon the railing, the
better to get at him. She was very neatly
dressed, but in a sort of old womanish way
that struck one as odd, though not at all
oullandish. Her hat strings were tied with
quiet and Quaker-like precision under her
chin, aud there was dignified look to her
face strangely in contrast with her years.
"well," said the officer, "what do you
Want9"
"Aro you the person in charger said the
child.
ayes"
"Iam Miss Simmons" she replied very
seriously.
The officer smiled slightly, but again
asked what she desired.
"You see," said Miss Simmons with
great gravity, "these boys are giving me
lots of trouble. have stood II about as
long as / can"
"What boys9" said the officer.
"The boys in the neighborhood," said
Miss Simmons, giving her place OF resi-
dence. "Some of them big ones, too, that
ought to know better"
"Why do they trouble your" asked the
officer.
"Its in 'em," said Miss Simmons. ~
guess it's in most all boys"
"What do they dor" queried the officer
again.
"Thsy throw torpedoes against the win
dows, and then they come the Dutch doll
trick" she replied.
"What's that ?"
"Ips making ghost out OF pillow and
Q sheet and broomstick, and then they
stick II inside the door or up against the
windows and groan," she returned.
"And does that frighten your" said he.
"No, sir, I amt afraid of their tricks
but when 1 ain't there they come, you
know, ana scare Nathan, you see."
"Who is Nathanf" said the officer.
"He is my pappy, sir, who lives with
me, cause he has no home Of his own"
