Two boys who became distinguished
in widely different ways were Jay
Gould, the multimillionaire, and John
Burroughs, the naturalist. They attend
ed together the humble school in Rox-
bury, N. Y. John loved books, and
Jason was fond Of making trades.
Young Gould had some books which
his school fellow wanted very much to
own. The more Burroughs thought
about the coveted books and more dill
gently he strove to save up his pennies.
Finally be had so cents boarded. TAX
ing his wealth to Gould he found that
thrifty young gentleman quite willing
to do business. The books were traded
off for the money-mostly big copper
pennies-and both boys were made
happy. Mr. Burroughs never regretted
his end of the bargain.-Success

THE YOUNG GAMBLER.
He Had an Even Chance, but Fate
Was Against Him.

He Had an Even Chance, out F'at0
Was Against Him.
I remember one handsome young fell
low whom / used to meet occasionally
on the staircase who captured my
youthful fancy. I met him only at
midday, as he did not rise till late, and
this fact, with a certain scrupulous ele
gance and neatness in his dress, ought
to have made me suspect that he was
gambler. In my inexperience it only
invested him with a certain romantic
mystery.
One morning as I was going out to
my very early breakfast at cheap
Italian cafe on Long wharf I was sur
prised to find him also descending the
staircase. He was scrupulously dress
ed even at tllat early hour, but I was
struck by the fact that he was all in
black, and his slight figure, buttoned
to the throat in a tightly fitting frock
coat, gave, fancied, singular melan-
choly to his pale southern face.
Nevertheless he greeted me with more
than his usual serene cordially, and
I remembered that he looked up with
half puzzled half amused expression
at the rosy morning sky as he walked
a few steps with me down the deserted
street. could not help saying that l
was astonished to see him up so early,
and he admitted that it was a break in
his usual habits, but added, with a
smiling significance / afterward re-
membered, that it was San even chance
If he did it again"
AS we neared the street corner a man
in a buggy drove up impatiently. In
spite of the drivers evident haste my
handsome acquaintance got in leisure
ly and, lifting his glossy hat to me
with a pleasant smile, was driven
away. l have a very lasting recollec-
ton of his face and figure as the buggy
disappeared down the empty street. I
never saw him again. 1t was not until
a week later that | knew that an hour
after he left me that morning he was
lying dead in little hollow behind the
Mission Dolores, shot through the heart
in duel for which he had arisen so
early.-Bret Hartes "Under the Red
woods"
