:, Mrs. Halford's married sister lived in a
thriving town some thirty miles distant. She
and her husband had visited at the farm, and
though at first they had called Mrs. Halford's
title Joe extremely.
NOW MIR. Thorpe sent to offer Joe situa-
ton in his store, and Mrs. Thorpe wanted her
sister to come and reside with her.
Joe was seventeen at this time. He was
quick, intelligent and ambitious, and adored
Mrs. Halford, who had adopted him as her
son.
Though l don't see how you had the cour-
age to take city stray like that into your
house," Mrs. Thorpe said. "It has turned out
well, and Joe is as nice lad as | ever saw
But what if he had been really bad? Children
in large cities pick up such terrible habits"
'The more need. then, that we should try
to save them. l have great faith in good
training, and Joe's mother had only been dead
year. She must have been a good, upright
woman, and l am glad have saved her son
for her. | had great fear at first; but 1
have tested him thoroughly, and come to love
him very dearly"
So Joe and his mother went to Eastwood
and became members of the Thorpe household,
where there were three little girls Mr..
Thorpe took him into his establishment to
learn the business.
"I'll give you the same chance would a
son of my own" he said, "and, unless we
have all mistaken you very much, you will
make successful business man."
Joe's face flushed with PRIDE and he wrote
a letter to Mr.. Roscoe that more than repaid
the half-cynical old Englishman for his share
in the lads salvation.
1t seemed to Joe Halford-as he was to be
called now-that his had been kind of fairy
life with it's strange happenings.
The pretty home, with the piano always
open; the two women, with their refined and
kindly ways; books to read, concerts and lee
lures, and, best of all, real mother love. Oh,
was he the little half-starved vagrant who had
been snatched from destruction by kindly
hand?
''When l am man." he said to himself
'I mean to save some little boy just as / was
saved"
Mr.. Thorpe began to place great deal of
confidence in him. He was SO exact and
careful, so attentive to customers, so good
tempered when any one came in to find fault,
though Mr.. Thorpe remarked more than once
how he sometimes compressed his lips and
mastered himself when he was tempted to be
cross or impatient.
'"The lad means to rule himself" he thought,
approvingly.
So passed away two happy years, and it
seemed as if life was quite settled for Joe.
One evening young man accosted him, and
Joe remembered he had sceen him hanging
around for several days. lie was barely of
medium height. rather stout. with N muddy
Los Angeles herald., 1906-09-16

Mr.. Roscoe came with the clothes, and they
made Joe's eyes dance for joy. Beautiful
eyes they were, too, large, soft and brown,
ana they seemed almost third of the thin,
wnlte face that now, in its cleanliness, looked
little flesh would improve him.
Then they, had good meal together, and
Joe answered all questions about his past life
with such an air of sincerity that Mr.. Roscoe
could not doubt his trIthfulness.
Now, my lad" said he, "this is what am
going to do. / know of a society that finds
homes in country places for boys who want to
lead honest, upright lives and make good men
OF themselves. I'm going to have you sent out,
and | shall say nothing about this trouble, for
think you were led into it against your
will. Just so long as you are honest 1 shall
keep your secret. I'm going to see if an hon
est man cannot be made out of you, my lad.
I'D rather give my money for that than to be
taxed to support you in prison. I'm going to
have perfect faith in you; remember that"
The tears were running down Joe's cheeks,
and his voice trembled so that he could hardly
speak, but he promised.
A week afterward, Joe Chiffon was on his
way West, with dozen other boys. His
place was a large, old farmhouse. An old,
white haired gentleman, brisk farmer of five
and-thirty, rather uncouth farm hand and
lady, few years younger than her brother
comprised the family
Mrs Halford had lost her husband and her
little son, and she had sent for the boy rather
against her brothers wishes Her only stipu-
lation was that he should be brown n-eyed.
She gave him warm welcome, for his piti-
full face TOUGHER her heart, but the others
looked rather askance at first.
However Joe soon found way to their
hearts, for he was in real earnest His read
ness, his pleasant temper and gratitude would
have disarmed harder hearts than theirs. He
made himself very useful, and soon grew out
of the faults engendered by his rough living
He went to Sunday school and church, and
Mrs Halford trained him in her own refined
ways. He grew brown and rosy, and was so
very happy that he could hardly be thankful
enough.
Mrs Halford watched him much closer than
he imagined. She found him truthful and
scrupuously honest He meant to deserve
Mr.. Roscoe's faith in him; and when, one dav
letter came from that gentleman, little Toe
cried from pure happiness, and Pm not sure
but Mr.. Roscoe's eyes moistened somewhat
over the answer.
The years passed on delightfully."-. Joe shot
up into tall, fne-looking boy, and old NJ
Fraser came to depend SO upon him that tbev
were inseparable the last year of his life. ~
Then changes began. Mr.. Thomas Fraser
married a widow. with two boys, and Toe
was not needed on the farm; besides, he was
old enough to begin to think about his own %1a
future.

to send you out to honest green fields and

"Old offenders, yes. They've slipped out Of
many things, but they go up this time. That's
a poor-looking chap, but some of them make
the shrewdest rascals."
"Come along, my lad"
The little fellow drew the back of a very
dirty hand across his eyes, and followed the
big, burly Engshman out of the place.
"Please, sir, told you the truth. l never

"If didn't believe you | should have left

"Eleven, SIR"
"Mighty little for that age! Take your
bath, and I'll bring the clothes"
And he gave the lad into the hands of the
attendant.
1t seemed almost like heaven to little Joe
Chiffon to lie in the warm bath and smell the
scented soap, while the fresh towels dangled
overhead. II brought back thought of his
mother, with her pale face and soft blue eyes,
her love and her dying words:
ooh, my darling boy, whatever comes to
you, be honest. Don't be thief"
And he had been thief! Heaven only
knew how hard he had tried all the long year.
He had slept under stoops and in dry goods
boxes; he had gone hungry and cold, but until
now he had never taken penny.
Tim and Jack had given him shelter, and
helped him out with a meal, and at last over
persuaded him to join in venture over which
they made merry; but his heart had been in
his throat, and it was his laundering that had
led TO detection.
1t was the old, old story-a little, lad in a

to get enough to keep body and soul together.
