his doom wa sealed. He made no rem0n
STRANGE and uttered no %entreaty. He heard
the six o'clock whistles blow, and q thought
struck HIM. His day of tentative good
ness was over. "Please. ma'am," said he,
in his modest, most ~insinuating tones, III
I must be dragged away to a dungeon,
grant-me first Just five minutes of grace!"
The ancient maiden lady's heart was not
touched, but she thought John Goodies re-
quest reasonable. She relaxed her hold on
his collar, and before the policeman could
get in reach Of them, before q word could
be said, q prayer uttered or a shrek
shrleked, he had fallen on the jeering ''6end

thumped, cuffed and wallOped William until
his own mother would have known him
only to lick him again, and the fiendish
jeer had faded forever from his once proper
features.
Discerning boys who read the "World Of
Young Folks" will have no difficulty in
extracting from this true story two morals.
The first is that William should have ceased
at six o'clock sharp to be q bad boy. The
second is that you may break, you may
shatter, the vase if you will, but the scent
Of the roses will hang round 1t still" It was
