was the best balm for his wounded spirit
if, indeed, he were not, rs jim White
said, too used to blows to care.
"What shall l pay you9" she asked,
fumbling for her purse. For once, she
was stupid, in her turn:
Tom answered steadily, and with II
ring in his voice he had never heard be
fore: "Nothin'. didn't bring it back
for your sake. But becau e he was treat
ed bad, was despised, and all that; and,
if He could stand it, I'm goin' to try to-"
He broke into sob and tried to run
away; but Miss Wilton caught him by
the arm and said: "Forgivc me, child,
for not understanding you"
She won him to tell her the whole
story, and then she did two or three
strange things for one in her position.
She went home with Tom; paciiied aud
even delighted the poor, Ignorant mother
by her account of her son; and left money
for hat, and for more besides.
The next morning she changed Toms
scat---"for meritorious conduct" she told
the scholars.
Then, looking straight at jim White,
=
said:
II believe | made mistake in whip
ping Thomas yesterday; but he wishes
me to forgive the real offender, because
of Him who said Love your enemies. -"
The whole school felt thereafter that
Tom Dolan was not the same boy in the
teachers view that he had been, and that
it was no longer safe to treat him as here
tofore.
He never was brilliant scholar; but
he did his best, and Miss Wilton found
her best for him WAS different matter
from what it had been.
Later she got position for him as err
rand boy in store. And so he went
on, step by step. Never into any lofty
place, in the worlds esteem; but the
worlds judgment is not always Just, and
"there are last that shall be first" and
perhaps such as Tom Dolan will be found
to be of that blessed company.

Horace Greeley as Borrower and
Lender.

Much has been said, of late, concern
ing Horace Greeley's folly in lending
such enormous sums to worthless appli
cants, who only repaid him with ingrati
tude. This was remarkable weakness.
but it may, to a certain degree, be cx
planned. Greeley was, during the first
seven years of his New York life, pow
erty-stricken adventurer, who failed in
every effort. He had many hopes of
making the NeD Yorker success (and,
indeed, it was the best weekly ever issued
in this city; but it was swamped by the
hard times which followed the panic of
1881.
In 1910 he found himself without a
dollar, and was glad to engage in the ser
vice of the Wing party as editor of the
Log cabin. The salary was $40 a week
for six months, which was considered
very liberal pay.
When the campaign was over Greeley
determined to start the Tribune, but, un-
fortunately, he had no capital. He tried
every way possible to obtain a moneyed
partner, but was unsuccessful. Neil
rath had a few hundred dollars, and at
last Greeley was glad to accept him, es-
pecally as he was ready business man.
When all other applications had failed,
the ambitious editor remembered noted
resident of Jersey City, who had large re-
sources, and he determined to try an
other effort. He therefore made call on
this man (the late Dudley 5. Gregory,
and, having mentioned his case, asked
for the loan of 81 900. Alternate hopes
and fears moved his breast until he saw
Gregory fill up check for the amount,
and the editor departed with a light
heart This loan enabled him to start
the Tribune, which was he great success
of his life, and gratitude so wrought
upon him that he determined never to
refuse any similar application.
This rule not only bound him perma-
nently, but its power so increased that at
last he lost all ability to refuse. He paid
Gregory with his first earnings, aud after
that he lent, unfortunately to all who
cared to bleed him. Whenever "A loan
was solicited he always recalled the
scene when he, too, was a borrower. lie
remembered how he then felt the impor-
lance of those little words, yes, or no. If
Gregory had uttered the latter, the 7ri
bune might never have been more than a
young editors dream. That fatal word,
however, was not spoken, aud Greeley
ever afterward followed Gregory's exam
pie, though it cost him nearly one hun
bred times the amount of the original
loan.--N. Y. Correspondent Cincinnati
Gazette.
