to de husband of her fren Julie, who keeps dc restaurant.
 Duchess wouldn't hear to de kid going back to de old lady's, but fetehes him along wit us up to de place on de Sound; for Miss Fan nie lets us have de little one up dere when we wants, and he eats wit us, in C housekeeper's room. Duchess had a long powpow wit Miss Fannie about de game dat night, and Miss Fannie was as in- terested as if it was her own kid dat had lost her t h. Den MT. Paul was toc.A into de caucus, and den I was sent for; and before we was settled dere was more gulf and gas about de proposition dan if de kid had lost his head instead of his h. Miss Fannie votes dat de youngster should be sent to a swell little school dat is kept for de kids of de smart set folks while de di- voice judges is making up deir minds wedder de modders or de ladders is de best enc 10 have de kids. But Duchess baked. She said sho didi.t t want de kid in a school where he would get de woise of i, because his parents was house soivants.
 Den MT. Paul settles 1t. He said dat he would enter liddie as de eor of o fron of hie nat xto,,Idn,k go in most schools, but in dis school dere was many a kid dat de schol teachers didn't know who it's pa and ma was. All dat was wanted was dat de pas and mas was respectable, and would pay de bills. As to responsibility, says MT. Paul. "I tink dis cubs parents could give cards to many of em, and show to de good at dat
 So we is to be let to keep Lit tie Duke wit us until de school opens, and den MT. Paul is to en- ter him, and see dat he has fair crack at his t h. But what's worrying me is what will be doing when some silk haired youngster gives little Master Fadden any back talk.

dough I was tinking whatn de odder kids do to a newssy pois- sonally conducted by his fadder and modder.
 So we dressed de kid up for woik-and he was Sunday-best alongside de odders, at dat-and l goes to an old pal of mine who buys wholesale at de press rooms, and sells to newsies, and outfits kiddie wit evening one, two and three-centers. He was tickled to deat, and when he gets his bundle under his arms he lets out a 'Wrextryl Wrextry!" like a tenor foghorn. He makes for de middle of City Hall lark, wit Duchess and me chasing along after him, and in a minute he sold a center.
 How much does he make?" says Duchess, getting excited.
 "Four-tents of a cent" I says.
 Mon Dieui' she says, "it Is more noise dan money!"
 Riddle dono pretty well for a time, but den anodder kid walks up to him, w.. his chin out, and says, Say, kid, where did you get de swell rags?" and wit dat he pokes OUT kid in dv eye.
 Duchess lets out a yell dat woke up de cop on de City Hall steps. and starts for de fight. 1 holds her back, for I'd teached Little Duke some tings dat isn't in any of de books dat he studies; and 1 wanted to see if ne remembered. Besides, de kids was of a size. Little Duke slugs wild in de foist surprise, but all of student he remembers, and he puts his elbow in de oder kids neck, his foot be- hind de odder's heels-and dere was no more fight. When de od- der kid struck de asphalt he yells murder, de copper mixes in, our candidate skips, do cop switches de boy dat was down, and Duchess was near to faint.
 Riddle wasn't boddered after dat, and him being a blue ribbon for looks, he sold to Brooklyn wo- men so fast 1 had to stock him two or three times in a hour. He made frens wit some boys, sold three-centers once in while, was told to keep de change out of a nickle, and chased up to us to jolly; and dough his modder was only jump ahead of a fit-and de fit gaining-de kid was easily having de time of his life.
 Say, dad" he says to me, dis is too easy. It's like taking candy from a child. It's like getting money from home"
 When Duchess hears him she couldn't talk for a minute; only let out Title gasps dat l knows IS a sign oat she is boiling, and

de morgue, de day of it's glory is down and out"
 It's a ten-to-one shot dat MT. Paul is right, even if he did use dude langwudge to sing his song. Listen; why de folks go to de country ?-just for de fun of com ing back to town. It don't matter what town it is, so long as it is de town dat you hangs out in when you're at home.
 "Cheems," says Duchess to me, "I'd radder go to Paris dan heaven"
 Same odds against bote places" says I. "Tomorrow's our day off; so let's beat bote places, and go to de Bowery, and see Lit tie Duke"
 Remember Little Duke? He's our kid. Dat We l go to see him was cinch, of coerse, for we al- ways goes down to me modder's home on our days oN to see de kid. Mrs Murphy is w'd me mod der now-remember Mu.phy? Dey does laundry woik for Miss Fan-
 
 Miss Fannie's touted for em, and makes all sorts of swell money. Dere's a silk haired goil dat Miss Fannie knows, dat teaches in a Mission school, who teaches de kid, too, and say, he's dat rich wit his lankwudge dat l can't hold him. He talks like a little edi- tion of MT. Paul, and when Duch- ess says dat he'll be president or alderman, it don't sound so much like pipe tax as you'd tink. And he's Joining French. Say, you'd die to hear him talk to his ma, Duchess, in de regular forn French dat Duchess and de teach CT teaches to him. It's a wonder. All de poodle dat Duchess has touched off me is going to make him sure enough gent; and Duchess says dat if tings goes fair for dozen years or so, we'll not stop wit making him President, but he'll be trained to be a cook, and wit de start we can give him he'll keep a French restaurant some day. But dat's dream.
 Me modder and Duchess is great pals, but dey don't hitch when it comes to what de Little Duke will be.
 ''Me dear" says modder to me on de quiet, when Duchess was putting kiddie over de jumps of

 Whats happened you, wo- man?" says. to help her along.
 Did you hear him?" she says, showing only de whites of her eyes.
 Sure. he's no dummy, and I'm not deaf
 He has lost his h!"
 His what?" 1 asks, looking to see had Little Duke lost his dicer, or his money.
 His t h."
 I taught de fit had arrived, but just as I was going to take her over to de fountain, and trun some water on her, I cops de game. For two years Duchess had jollied and prayed and begged ,.e teacher to learn Riddle to say h. She cant say it no more dan I can, but de way she don't say 1t is a different way from de way I don't. Any way de two of us togeder was a bum team when it come to learn ing de kid to get a strangle holt on h and join em togedder; and de Duchess was so proud dat de youngster had learned de trick dat she used to make up long speeches for him to speak, all filled wit woids where he'd have to say h in one sound, and listen to him like it was a band playing Hia- water. But p'ehee in two hours de cub had unlearned de whole bunch of tricks, and was talking as straight Manhattan as me. I looks to see Duchess die wit rage.
 Take de papers away from our son, Cheems, and fetch him home. 1 wonder will he ever be cured?"
 So I helps Little Duke to count up, sells ais leftovers to one of his new frens at half price, and found dat he was toity-two cents to de good. He put Up a holler when I told him his business was over for de day, but I promised to take him to dinner, and he got well.
 Women Is queer all around De kid had done good woik; learned how to take care of himself, and to make change; made money, and had a good time; but all dat was noting to Duchess. He'd lost his dude langwudge, and dia- mond ring wouldn't been no set off against dat She likes money as well as de next French goil; tink she's a bit stuck on me; I know dat she swears by Miss Fannie, but all de poodle and folks in de wolld-including yours truly-isn't in de proposition a little bit alongside of de way Duchess wants to see dat kid a swell Tor fair. I found out dat she was only iollying, even when she talked about 'prenticing him

his French grammar, Me dear, you has wife dat's a jewl witout a price mark; but Chimmie, as You love you old modder, stop dat woman from making a former of de little one, or we'll never be able to keep it from de neighbors, and he'll have no more chance to run dis ward dan de gent wit tai low legs has wit satan. Even his English is like MT. Paul's already; and I never let de neighbors hear him talk, for fear of de shame dey'd put on me. for being de grandmother of a dude."
 Its de trute your modder is saying, Chimmie," says Murphy. You could come back to de ould war-rd and be Precinct Captain yerself, but yer own son couldn't get pushcart license in de war-rd wit all dis jude langwudge he do be learning. Lave de lad go to Park Row and sell papes for a ican as amy of us. Remember how worser dan a tootless child it is to cherish snake in de bosom or de family, as Saint Pat rick says, rest his sowl.'
 Dat was a pretty strong argu- ment, for fair, and says to Duch- ess we'd better be letting de kid get a little learning, instead of boddering his conk wit all de fool ish tings she and de swell Mission teacher was putting into him.
 Oats some of your advice, modder Fadden," says Duchess, joining to de old loidy.

You're as good a daughter as I ever hoped to have, Hortense; dough III not deny dat at foist I grieved dat me son didn't marry Yankee goil, what de Bowery is full of em as would be glad ot de chance"
