lang! Down the broad, brilliantly
lighted avenue swept a heavy fire
truck, it's five dappled horses united
in a mad gallop. Ten-year-old Teddy
ONeill, Western Union messenger
boy, cut suddenly into the avenue
from a side street and circled on his
wheel like an eagle. His eyes fol-
lowed the truck with longing. 1t was
a struggle 'twiXt duty and pleasure.
Then an engine dashed into sight. 1t
was drawn by three magnificent
blacks, and in the darkness it cleaned
like a demon, splitting fire and smoke.
Teddy gave a howl of enthusiasm and
followed in its wake.
For block after block he trailed the
wheel of the engine, bending low over
his handle bars. Something of the
Spirit of the ~fire-ighters of old was in
his blood, and though his little heart
was pounding with sudden stress he
held the pace, his short legs dancing
mechanically with the pedals.
AT the cross street a trolley car
blocked the way. A collision seemed
inevitable. The driver rose in his
seat, jammed the brake down, and
drew with all his strength on the
lines. The blacks came down on their
launches and with stifened forelegs
slid on the smooth pavement. just
In time the heavy engine came to q
stop.
But Teddy, pedaling as though for
q record, with his eyes to the ground.
knew not of the obstruction.
Suddenly the shining engine doomed
before him. He threw up his arms
and with a little cry dashed into the
heavy steel-shod wheels.
A crowd gathered quickly. Gentle
hands bore the limp and mangled body
10 a nearby hospital.
When Teddy awoke he lay in q white
iron bed, in a long room, with many
other beds on each side of him. He
tried hard to remember. What did 1t
all mean? And what made the pain
In his head. his chest, his legs? He
gave a little groan.-
A woman came to the bed and
leaned over him. Years afterward he

This is loves alchemy.
In the Gimly lighted ward Amy was
at Teddy's bedside. The 10y was wake
full and restless. He wanted company.
Though her duty was over she stayed
With him, talking in a whisper.
Bit by bit she drew from him the
story of his brief, hard lie. He had
no memory of father or mother. He
had lived with an aunt, who beat him;
so he ran away and finally graduated
from newsboy to telegraph messenger.
He was a doubter. Even Santa Claus.
that patron saint of the children, was
to him a ~myth-"only for rich folks
he said.
But when she told him how Santa
Claus would come to all children, rich
and poor, if he only knew where they
lived, his eyes grew big with interest.

Free Training of Nurses.

An excellent work has been under
taken by the Philadelphia School for
Nurses. which is providing free train
ing in nursing, for a number of young
women in every county in Pennsyl-
varia.
The young women will be provided
with room, board, uniforms, and all
the convenienees of a well-appointed
Christian home. The course is two
years of training, in nursing the sick
poor of the city, under skilled leaders.
In addition to regular nursing, the
young women are taught how TO pre-
serve their own health; how to recog-
nize, avoid. aud destroy contagion;
and how to establish and maintain
perfect sanitary conditions about the
home.
