THAT'S right, Mickey; always try to
please your employer, and YOU will never
be out Oh situation"
That's what | do do. But | say" he
continued, scared look appearing on his
face, 81 tell you it was awful being locked
up with them ther thieves and murders"
well, Mickey, let that prove lesson
to you"
"Oh, you can bet yer boots I'll never
pipe anything agn. But say, Mr.. NJ,
don't you think it's awful TO put little
boys in Jail with whole pack of bad men
like that? do"
"Yes, do think it is not right. But
how did they treat you?"
'Oh, frst-rate, only it made me shiver
to hear some of the men in there swear,
and talk about shooting people, and rob-

How do they expect boy to reform in
such crowd as that? Why" said the
boy, with flashing eyes, cone old teller
wanted to teach me how to pick pockets
and steal handkerchief when folks wasn't
lookin'; but l told him was never goin'
to steal again; then he laughed, and got

"Well, Mickey, we got you out just as
soon as we could, and now you must not
forget your promises"

ago, but the boss wouldn't let me until I'd

pack of thieves and murderers is too mean
for me. Pm goin' to live in Philad'a for
ever"
With hearty good-by the lad departed,
and when last seen was showing off his
fine clothes to a crowd of his former asso-
ciates.
Mickey was right. Who could expect a
boy to reform when thrown into the soci-
city of professional thieves and hardened
criminals, to listen to their coarse jests and
learn their modes Of plying their nefari-
Gus vacations? And vet this boy, raised
and Graded on the street, who had been
deprived of all moral training and inhu-
ence, who never knew the comforts of
