man events can be changed by a simple
action came to notice in Western city q
few days since. rGx
The principal actor in the tale of ro-
nance and heroism was poor newsboy,
and the scene was in Denver. The brave
lads name is withheld from the public
for various reasons. He has been known
heretofore among his. companions simply
rs "Ted." -e.s w. sil see
He went to Denver from a small town
in Iowa about year ago. He had been
lef. an orphan by the death of his par
ents in the latter place, and with the
characteristic American, idea of going
West he had boarded freight train and
by the good nature of some Of the con
ductors and, lbrakemen, and by hiding
from the argus eyes of others he hsc at
length reached the goal of his ambition
and landed in Denver. Beautiful 1t
seemed to him on his arrival, with its
long rows of handsome dwellings and
stately stores, whose well-stocked win
dows filled to the utmost his ideas of the
promised land. ~ - - -
Ted was bright little fellow, who, in
/. spite of the neglect and the bad company
into which he had been thrown, preserved
certain measure of self-respect and
pride. He was withal ambitious, and
il was the one dream of his life to make
money enough to educate himself aud be
able TO read the papers he sold, and, mas.
ter the mysteries of books, especially
those of travel. He was also an admirel
of the beautiful and had vein of senti
ment in his composition which would
hardly have been expected. sn'A'st

flowers which attracted him, but some
thing far prettier, for which he waited
