followed his movement since the frs,

from a visit to England.
He went away with 81 In his pocket and
sixteen years Of experience In the wicked
ways Of tn Q world. He did not announces
his departure. In fact he ran away. Where.

just over the Nassau county line from Far

He has followed his trade in a simple and
unambitious way these many years. He
has made a comfortable home for his
family in a two-story franc house on a
road near lnwood. and there are chickens
and other live stock on the estate.
The prospect over the meadows toward

wanted to wander from Far Rockaway,
Wiihe's father long long ago discovered
| the ambitious nature OF Willie's dreams
and set about 70 curb their execution.
Willie was apprenticed to a plumber.
Willie had read the American humorists
more or lees, but he said he did not want
TO be ia; kind OF pirate. He wanted to be
the kind that climbed the halyards and
sighted a ship laden with gold and Lam
gushing maidens on the horizon and there
upon made desperate speeches TO his blood
| thirsty crew.
Papa burberry was bigger thar Willie and
Willie became 2 plumber With varying
until he was allowed to 60 u on jobs
without the boss.
Willie has a roguish eve and a coun-
tenance capable OF expressing great inno-
cence. The combination Is quite interest,"
ing to the student Of Willie's intentions at
any particular time.
He Is undersized. even for 10. He looks
scarcely IL. His carriage and manner give
n very deceiving impression OF dihidence
and meekness.
Willie made no secret Of his aversion to
plumbing as q life employment. When,
therefore. he did not come home one night
about two months ago, his mother was
more or less concerned. His father was
not troubled. He thought Willie had gone
on to the city with some OF the other boys

at the latest.
On Monday morning came a delegation
from the home OF Charlie Burke, a boy
some years older than Willie. Whenever

Charles has a certain logged fidelity TO
purpose, hut has not the Younger boys
originality OF thought.
The family OF Charles wanted 70 know
where Willie had taken him this time.
The Burberrys were sure they did not
know. They wanted to know where Charles
had taken Willie. The families parted
with some feeling between them.
Meantime William was on the raging
main. He had found a steamship agent"
on West street who had sold him u ticket
70 London.
The agent was one OF those pleasant gem
tlemen who by arrangement with some
OF the officers OF the cattle ships sailing
from this port have charge Of the employ
ment OF feeders and cleaners forthe cattle.
They find a young man anxious 20 go beyond
seas and take all the money the young
man has they would take more II they
knew how tn get l. and give him a letter
OF Introduction 20 the proper person on
ship, who assigns him 10 a berth and a
duty below decks. The young man has

pleasant gentleman any wages that may
Willie and his friend Charles made this
generous arrangement with one Of IN"
tribe and found themselves on a Cattl.
ship bound for Bristol. This il interesting
