She wandered down Rivington street
crying softly. She was hungry. and it
seemed more pitiful for her to be hungry
on Christmas eve than it was for the
dozens Of other children on Rivington
street to be hungry. The year before she
had not only not been hungry. but she had
had a Christmas tree. The other children
had always been more or less hungry
and they had never had Christmas tree.
She shuf1ied her partly bare feet along
ON the icy sidewalk Snow had frozen
on what was left of the uppers Of her
shoes. Her feet were very cold. but she
did not mind the cold SO much as she
did the hunger, nor the hunger SO much
as the lonehness-the absence Of the
Christmas tree and the daddy and mann
to jump her up and down and watch the
sparkle IN her eyes as she saw their poor
little presents. They had not been
very interesting daddy and mann to other

with the matron one night, just after

quite successful ncwsboy himself, he
could afford to have his family with
him." as ne said. Pete was his family.
There were only those two, and neither
could remember when there had been
any one else in the family circle. 1t did
not cost very much TO live at the home.
for the charge each day was five cents for
supper, six for lodging and six for break
Fast, which for both boys would amount
to not quite two dollars and half
week, and find yer own lunch"
But first it must be explained that the
home Is a place where newsboys who
have no other place to live can sleep
comfortably and get their breakfasts and
suppers besides, if they wish. for the
small sums mentioned above. Its object
is not only to give them good places to
sleep, but to help them in other ways.
It furnishes its inmates with schooling,
books to read and baths. free. 1t gives
them chance to save their pennies by
affording each place in the bank-a
great table whose top is full OF numbered
slits-and offering Z. reward for the boy
who has saved the largest amount when
the bank is opened at the end Of each
month. 1t also makes them keep good
hours by refusing admittance to all who
come very late at night. A "home"
isn't the worst place IN the world for q
boy who has no parents. In fact, it is =
pretty good place
But to come back to Pete. He staid
at the lodging house most Of the time,
because Patsey was afraid to have "sech
little chap" on the streets. and the ma
tron, Mrs. Brown, was very good to
him. She allowed him to remain with
her during the day, and gave him his
dinner when she took hers, because she
said he was real help to her, 80 he
was in her work. He was . quiet lit
lie fellow and very sweet tempered.
The newsboys all loved him, and many
. lad remembered to bring Peta foweE
or bit Of fruit at night. Newsboys are
rough in speech and action. but many q
one has kinder heart than beats under
q fine Jacket.
Patsey, as have said, supported him
self and Pete; but you must not think II
was an easy task. In order to do this
and put pennies away in the bank hs
had to work early and late. He sold lat'
papers because there were not so many
newsboys on the streets then and not 81
much competition. Sometimes he die

Among other attractive numbers on the
programme was che song. sung by q
