The blue eyes Of the singer were On

joy of the flushed little cripple, and

The full white throat thrilled with
the exultation of the moment, and the
rich voice swelled and swept through
the nave or died away to a whisper

The night is gone;
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which have loved long since, and lost

There is place in the scheme of crea-
ton for diminutives in names. That

among those who are almost as init

is not proper to take the public into
ones pet name, and until women real

But not only in the public world do
diminutives unfit a woman for her

of private individuals. A private wom-

he was sauntering, that last day,
through the highways and byways Of
Newport, when ht met Bob Burke.
The circumstances of the meeting
were unique. With his pipe in his
mouth and his hands In his pockets, he
was stamping along more than usual
ly wretched street when he. made out
Bob In the distance, and stopped to
drink in the picture.
Now Bob--who was reported to be
the worst chap in town, and was the
cigarmaker's nephew into the bargain
mot seeing that he was being OBJ
served, continued to throw back his
tow head and swing his stick and beat
out time as he sang.
In view of all that happened later on,
II would seem to have been Bob's sing
ing that first attracted Finley. But Bob
was singing for himself alone. and not
Co amuse oilers, SO he pounded about
with his stick and trilled away In
abundant spirits:
"O all the girls that are SO smart
There's none like pretty Sally;
She is the darling of my heart
And lives In our alley.
"There 10 no lady In the land
That's half 90 sweet as Sally,

listened to the song. ''It's thousand
pities that such voices as this are left
to go to waste"
The singer himself, ignorant Of the
scrutiny to which no was being sub
jected, only pounded the more energet-
ically and caroled away at the top of
his voice:
/" My master and the neghbors all
Make game Of me and Sally;
And but for her I'd rather be
slave and row galley"
II don't know Of such voice in all
Boston," thought Mark, and he stared
at the young ragamuffln with re-
doubled interest.
Now Bob Burke was picture all in
himself One can't help feeling inter-
ested in sturdy, reckless little fellow
who wears his rags as proudly as a
king would his purple. and who has
/. vyvs ., frank and as blue as the sky,
and wealth of tangled, flaxen hair
even II one is told that such boy is
the very worst boy in the neighbor-
hood. Perhaps this very abandonment
attracts us, as the few feet of quick
sands have subtler allurement than
the miles of solid beach.
Bob would have charmed a Murillo,
striding along there with his futtering
rags and bounding health and his in
variable singing Perhaps he had an
idea, too, that his voice was not Of the
worst; for when he finally made out
the stranger in his way, he did not
break off abruptly, but only "fixed"
him with full, - straightforward
glance, and went on, as Justify as ever:
But when my seven Hong years are out
Oh. then III marry Sally
And then how happily we'll live,
But not In our alley"
He had come up to Finley as he had
reached the last line, and, stopping be-
fore him, finished the verse, shouting
it full at the young fellows face, and
helping it out with manifold gestures
and jerks of the head. When he had
finished, he inquired, fiippantly;
ssThere, how does that strike you?
st II think seven years entirely too
long time to wait for your Sally" re-
turned Finley, with great seriousness.
Couldn't you possibly find substi-
tute for her?"
Bob scorned to answer the imputa-

to figure out what caused the delay.
But the reward of patience was
abundant, for one morning there came
O. fine, long letter from Mr.. Finley him
self, in which he said he would be
down that week and bring her up to
Boston, SO she could hear Bob's trial at
Trinity church. 1t was to be the cru
cial test of her brothers hard work,
and she must be there to hear it.
All, what a world of excitement in
the little brain--Bob was to sing in the
famous DR. Brooks church, and before
great crowds of people. and she was to
hear it, too! Suppose he were to get
frightened and fail? She thought such
an ending would break her heart. And
tbs city ladies would dress grandly.
So, so, then she would wear her black
alpaca, with the lilac collar and cuffs,
and Mr.. Finley need not be ashamed.
The journey on the cars to the city
only intensified the sisters agitation
The ride in Mr.. Finlcy's carriage was
the grandest thing she had ever known,
but her companions politest attention
could not divert her mind from her
brothers trial. She felt the same rest
lessness, even at the great house on
Beacon street. where an elderly lady
with soft brown eyes had kissed her
when she left the carriage. She re-
membered afterward how nicely Mr..
Finley had introduced her, just as II
she were grown up, and had said
Mother, this is Miss Helen Burke
Mr.. Finley had also explained that
Bob was prevented from meeting her
on account of the last few touches that
had to be put to his solo. She would
see him in the church in an hour.
And when that slow hour had ssssoa
