nence until he encountered Brown. He
was quickly convinced that he would
never understand Brown, but he be-
lieved that with the aid of pint Of
beer he might be able to endure him.
He had some money in his pocket, but
he dared not go out for fear that James
would tell Bangs.
I've got to rush der growler," he
said to himself. ''I'll die if don't"
In desperate emergencies such as
this there is always a means of saliva
ton if one only seeks it. Paddy sought
and found. There was a large ball Of
cord in the room, and an ordinary,
small coffee pot which had once been
used when Bangs was sick in his rooms.
This had been thrown into cupboard
where it had sustained serious injury.
But it was still water tight. Paddy
put some money in it and lowered it
out of the window at the end of the
cord. By and by a boy came along.
Paddy stuck his head far out of the
window so that James could not hear,
and bawled his errand to the boy. The
experiment worked well, aud Browns
Introductory remarks seemed some-
what more lucid afterward. Thereaft-
ter Paddy mixed Brown and beer in
the proportion of pint to page, and
when Bangs returned the beer, at least,
had found its way to Paddy's head,
He was asleep, with Brown for a pill
low, and the empty tin beside him.

he ran, for the time seemed as long as
a dream.
And then he trod upon the little blue
stone. 1t caught the metal plate on
his shoe and rolled like wheel on the
hard ground He plunged forward and
the ball went over his head.
Everybody in the world cried
''Yalel" The two blue-legged runners
crossed the plate. The game was lost
and won.
In an instant the crowd swept over
the field. Above the frantic throng ap-
peared nine figures borne upon the
shoulders of their friends. Each was
surrounded by cheering, struggling
mass, and the biggest and the widest
was around Jack Bangs.
But out in the left field, alone, fig
ure lay upon the ground. 1t was the
infallible Lee who had failed just
when there was no hope of retrieval.
They say he sobbed like child. And
he was SIX feet and one inch tall, and

CHAPTER III.
THE THoRNY PATH OF KNOWLEDGE.

THE THoRNY PATH OF KNOWLEDGE.
Harry Bangs went to his club and
bought the largest cigar on sale there.
This was a sign that he intended to
consume an unusually large amount of
brain tissue in thought,
He devoted all of it to Paddy O'Toole,
up the result in the words: Hes a
wonder"
So completely had he given himself
to the subject on hand that he was
oblivious of the presence of other
men by the window where he sat smok-
ing; and he pronounced the words
aloud.
''Who's wonder?" asked an ex-Har-
yard baseball player of some note who
sat near.
1--WE won't mention any names," re-
sponded Bangs, "but don't mind tell
ing you that the person to whom re-
fer is destined to give lot of trouble
to the pupils of DR.. Eliot's school for
boys out on the banks of the Charles" F."
II know who it is" said the Harvard
man, "it's your brother: Am 1 right"'
But Bangs was not ready to give any
information about Paddy. He simply
winked and said nothing. The remark,
however, had touched him on the raw.
Il wish it WAS my brother" he NUT
tered as he turned away. "When that
Irishman gets to Yale he will make a
name for himself that will live hun
dred years. And Lawrence will never
be heard Of"
This last reflection put Bangs in a
very bad temper, and he went home and
lay awake two hours thinking of his
brother.
He was at his bachelor quarters early
next morning prepared for an important
interview with Paddy Q'Toole. He
found that young man in a sweet
dream of peace.
Come turn out!' called Bangs, cheer
lily. Its time for breakfast"
'Breakfast?" cried Paddy, awake in
moment. Say, do ! get some? Is
that straight?"
"Of course it is. As soon as you've
had your bath"
"Me bath? An me that was washed
only yesterday? Say, do wash every
day? Am | Chinese laundry?"
You're a civilized Christian now,"
rejoined Bangs, ''and the sooner you
begin to act like one the better. Per-
haps didn't make you understand yes
terday, Just what has happened to you.
The case stands this way. You've got
the making of great ball player in
you. Now, I'm Yale man."

"Well, that's part of it, Yale is q

that the money is spent in a way that

going to spend it in sending you there.

and you'll have to begin right now"

Bangs laughed.

tinction between such garments and
his own had been driven into Paddy's
skull even at his early age. 1t con-
sisted in the fact that such clothes had
money in their pockets while his had
none,
Reasoning thus, Paddy was about to
ask the stranger for ''the price of a
beer" when the conversation was
taken out of his mouth.

set young man. Whats yours?"

"Would you like to have an educa-
tion?"
"Come again"
"Do you want to go to school? Have
| you any desire to learn?"
+ 81 Dunno" said Paddy, ''but I've got
thirst that"
"Yes, you do know. You want to
amount to something. You don't want
to go On this way. Now look here. I've
taken fancy to you. I've got more
money than / know what to do with,
and I'm willing to spend some of it on
Paddy O'Toole. If you will put your
self in my hands, I'll educate you and
pay all your expenses from this day
until you graduate from college. Come
This is the chance of your life. Will
you take what Heaven sends you?"
Paddy dropped his pipe on the
ground. Then he propped his meager
body up with his preternaturally long
arms, and sat, there in the attitude of
one who had been knocked down by a
blow in the face.
"Are youse stringin' me?" he gasped.
81 mean every word say. What
should gain by deceiving you?"
"Larned if ] know" rejoined Paddy.
"You couldn't get nothin' out o. me-"
':Then believe what tell you, and

it lopbs easy. What do you want me to
do f.rst?"
"CS)me with me and talk it over"
"Let her 90. It's bargain. I'm
wild yer!"
Paddy got up and stretched his long
limbs. He looked around at the fa-
miliar trees, and the monument on the
hill. He wanted to see whether they
were all there. 1t seemed more proba-
BILE to him that they would be absent,
and that he would find himself in bed
somewhere, and just waking from a
dream.
But the common looked no different
from its ordinary. The trees were
waving gently under the blue sky. His
late companions in the game were
scattered about on the grass. And be-
fore him stood a person whom he
vaguely suspected to be the boss of the
ward = the highest diGnitary with

''This simply shan't be. Introduce

have remained there till the following
day imbibing wisdom from this en-
inent authority, but Mr.. Bangs dis,
creetly took himself away.
AS he walked across the field through
the crowd now rapidly thinning there
was light of hope in his face and he
whispered to himself:
''If my brother could fall in love with
such girl as Miss Lorne it might make
a man Of him."

whose Office he was familiar = who
wanted to give him lot of m oney just
for going to school.
1t looked like good thing. Paddy
reflected with joy that the schools
were all closed and thathis work could
not begin till he had had taste of his
wages.
The sudden surprise had accentuated
the dryness in Paddy's throat.
"If yer got the price O. two beers, "he
began.
mo, SIR" said Bangs. "I1l attend
to the outside of you. It's more co1-
spicuous. The first thing you need
most is a suit of clothes"
Of that first day of his new life
Paddy retains most confused reccllec-
ton. He remembers bath some
where in a place that was so hot it
made his head ache. There was a
little room where he undressed, and
when he got back to it he found a lot
of new clothes. There was not only a
brand new suit, but there were some
articles to put on under it, quite super
fuous as he protested, in warm
weather Then he went to stores
where people bowed to Mr.. Bangs, and
never mentioned paying for anything,
which led Paddy to- believe that his
benefactor was connected with the po-
lice.
Afterwards they went to big house
where there were rooms which re-
minded Paddy of the show windows OF
furniture stores.
you'll live here for the present, u
said Bangs.
"Me? In dis place? Say, I'd be
afraid O. breal1in' somethin'."
Bangs laughed.
Don't you worry about that. These
are some rooms where l live when my
fathers house is closed in the summer.
1t is open now so you'll be by yourself.
James," he continued, addressing a
servant, ''see that Mr.. O'Toole has
whatever he wants Get his meals
from the st. Vincent. Well have din
ner now"
There never was anything like that
dinner. Whatever height of luxury Pad
dy may attain in the future, he can
never know the JOY of another such ap-
petite. Immediat tely after dinner he
fell asleep in chair, and when he
awol1e Bangs had gone away, and
James was inquiring whether Mr..
O'Toole desired anything more before
going to bed.
''I'd like to eat some more," said Pad
dy, "but 1 can't"
Ten minutes later he was asleep
again, and haunted by a fear, even in
his dreams, that he might awake on
the grass under tree in Boston Com
mon.

SHOWING THAT PADDY o'TooLE WAS NOT
BoEN TO BLUSH UNSEEN.
Paddy .O'Toole had never enjoyed
many advantages, but he had thriven
surprisingly without them. At the age
of seventeen, he was nearly as tall as
tree. A diet of mixed ale and chew
ing tobacco is not recommended by the
best authorities, but the wonderful
power of Paddy's vital machinery had
transmitted it into hard muscle and
plenty of it.
He would not work in warm weather,
and in the winter he never could get
anything to do. Such being the case,
the fact of his continued existence
should have shown him that destiny
was preserving him for remarkable
career. But Paddy never considered
such subjects. He accepted food and
shelter when they were offered him,
and did very well without them on
other occasions. He gave no thought
to the morrow, and the lilies of the
field were not arrayed as he was. In
fact Paddy's clothes had almost no
competition in their special line. No
body's cast-off garments could possibly
have been long enough for Paddy, and
had they been SO he would have out
grown them in a month.
paddy had been playing ball on Bos-
ton Common. The game was over, and
his side had won. 1t always did. When
Paddy pitched nobody else on his nine
but the catcher ever had anything to
do. The outfelders usually sat down
on the grass and smoked clay pipes
while they waited for three men to
strike out
After the game Paddy also lit pipe
and sat down on the grass. Imme-
diately he was aware of a thick-set
young man, whose clothes were as
sharply differentiated from Paddy's as
the sartorial art permits. The dis
