BY kATHARINE HARTMAN.

BY KATHARINE HARTMAN.
When Charlie Haveus left the fifth
grade of School No. he had completed
his education, for that spring be went
into the mechanical department of a
daily newspaper TO wash rollers, and be
the general knockabout of half.dozen
oil so superiors. The pressmen didn t
like him. they threw paste and waste at
him, and made life burden generally
for the red-headed, freckled-face young
ster whom they at once dubbed cred
dy." Mr.. Williamson, the foreman,
could see 70 earthly good in the boy,
and the rest of the men followed suit, so
Charley had pretty hard time of it all
around. Thers was no use going to
Williamson with his griefs, he would get
no sympathy from him, and as for the
people in the counting room, they be-
longed to auather world altogether than
the one bounded by the windowless
walls of the pre7s room.
Twice Charlie had found it necessary
to pound a couple Of the uewsboys who
had been more thas ordinarily imperti-
nent, and as many tines the policemen,
who was kept in thu alley 10 preserve
order among the young Arabs, had az
rested him, just out OF pure Laalice, it
seemed to Charlie. On these occasions
the business manager had been notified
that one of his "men" was in DURANGO
vile, and as many times thc business
manager had paid his fine, though he
had never seen the boy.
The business manager did not come
into the press-room very often, and when
be did, of course the foreman did the
honors. He would come over to sec
how that last car load of paper was run
ming, if the ink that new firm had sent
was spreading well, or if it filled in, and
chen, according to what the pressman's
convictions or prejudices were, he went
hack to his Office and dictated letters to
tlH parties that they might send another
cal along, Or that the ink last received
was all dirt and grit and could not be
used, aud would be held here in storage
until lurther orders.
