1t was getting late in the afternoon
as Master Jones, in somewhat
famished condition, strolled up Aid
gate, with a keen eye on the gutter,
in search of anything that would serve
him for his tea. Too late, he wished
that he had saved some of the stale
bread and damaged fruit which had
constituted his dinner.
Aldgate proving barren, he turned
up into the quieter Minories, skilfully
lodging the mechanical cuff of the
constable at the corner as he passed.
Ht, saw stranger adopt mongrel
"Es all right" said the orphan,
wistfully; mo coppers to chivvy i'm
about, and as much grub as he wants.
Wish I'd been a dog
A thought struck him just as a
stout, kindly-looking seaman passed
with a couple of shipmates. 1t was
good-natured face, and the figure was
that of man who lived well. A mo-
ment's hesitation, and Master Jones,
with courage born Of despair, ran
after him and tugged him by the
sleeve.
"Halloa!" said Mr.. Samuel Brown,
looking round. What do you want 2"
Want you, father" said Master
Jones.
Look here, my lad" exclaimed Mr..
Brown, goaded into action by inter-
cepting smile with which Mr..
Charles Legge had favored Mr.. Harry
Green, you run off home"
where do you live now?" inquired
Billy, anxiously.
Mr.. Green, disdaining concealment.
slapped Mr. Legge on the back, and,
laughing uproariously, regarded Master
Jones with much kindness.
You mustn't follow me-" said Sam,
severely; dye hear?"
"All right, father said the boy,
dutifully.
"And don't call me father" vocifer-
ated Mr.. Brown.
why not?" inquired the youth, art
lessly.
IF you don't run away" said Mr..
Brown, harshly, as he turned to the
boy, II shall give you hiding"
Where am to run to-" whimpered
Master Jones, lodging off and on.
Run 'ome," said Sam.
That's where I'm going said
Master Jones, following.
Better try and give i'm the slip
SAM" said Mr. Legge, in a confidential
whisper; thought it seems an unnat
ural thing to do"
"Wot's your name?"
Billy" was the reply.
Billy wot?"
BILLY Jones'"
Mr.. Green's face cleared, and he
turned to his friends with a smile OF
joyous triumph. Sans face reflected
his own, but Charlie Legge's was still
overcast.
''It amt likely" he said, impress
sively; 1T amt likely as Sam would

He's not my boy, SIR" replied Mr..

He's not my boy, SIR" replied Mr.
Brown, through his clenched teeth.
We'll, you'd better come up and
see him." said the other. Are you
sure he isn't, SAM"
"You hear what your father says"
said the skipper-("Hold your tongue,
SAM Where's your mother, boy?"
Dead, SIR" whined Master Jones.
1--WE only got i'm now"
and he looked pityingly at the forlorn
little figure by his side. And Sam was
the good man of the ship and leading
light at Dimport.
How would you like to come to sea
with your father?" he inquired.
The grin Of delight with which
Master Jones received this proposal
was sufficient reply.
At six in the morning they got under
way, the boy going nearly frantic with
delight as sail after sail was set and
the ketch, with stiff breeze, rapidly
left London behind her. Mr.. Brown
studiously ignored him.
II can't have somersaults by that on

JOHNNY's HOME LESSONS.
Tells About His Work of Last Year
and Hopes for Improvement.

Vacation is over, and I must return
the greatest pleasure. I shall fall in
love with my teacher, and the walk
between my home and the schoolhouse
will be romantic.
Last term had photography, writ
ing, history, grammar, mathematics,
drawing, current events and about IA
other things. This term l hope l shall
have about so studies.
Last term l had to study all day
and until ten o'clock at night, and
then get up at six in the morning and
go at it again. This term 1 hope
shall have to study all night and all
day Sundays.
Nothing does a growing boy so
much good as to work his head so
much that he has no appetite, and goes
about wishing he was dead. He
ought to be made to take up at least
40 studies that will be of no use to
him whatever as man.
Last term, in order to be perfect
in my studies from day to day, l had
to have the help OF my father, my
mother, my brother, my sister and my
uncle Jim. My father and Uncle Jim
did the swearing for the whole crowd
of us.
This term they will all help me
again, and 1 shall have the aid of
grandpa and grandma besides. think
we shall get through the work every
night by midnight.
There are boys going to private
schools who don't have more than six
studies, and who have time for recrea-
ton and sleep, but don't envy them.
1t is such boys that glN,w up to be-
come pirates in the end The way
to make good man of y boy is to
send him to a public schoot and cram
him so full of knowledge that he will
go around with his eyes half shut and
his mouth wide open."-Ro1AtSter

over Sans ample proportions. you
must ha been leading double life
altogether, Sam"
BY the following afternoon Sam was
in such state of collapse that, when
they put in at the small port of
Withersea to discharge a portion of
their cargo, he obtained permission to
stay below in his bunk. Work pro-
ceeded without him, and at nine
o'clock in the evening they sailed
again, and it was not until they were
couple of miles on their way to
Dimport that Mr.. Legge rushed aft
missing.
Don't talk nonsense" said the skip
per, as he came up from below in re-
Spouse to hail from the mate.
IT'S a fact, sir" said Legge, shak-
ing his head.
whats to be done with the boy?"
demanded the mate, blankly.
SANS unsteady, unreliable, tricky
old man," exclaimed the skipper hot
ly; 1.-The idea of going and leaving a
boy on our hands like that. I'm sur
prised at him. I'm disappointed in
Sam-deserting!"
What are you going to do, Billy?"
inquired the cook
II dunno" said the boy miserably.
They came in sight of Dimport. Mr..
Legge, who had a considerable respect
for the brain hidden in that small
head, pointed it out to him.
Boys worried" said the skipper,
aside, to the mate; cheer up, sonny"
Billy looked up and smiled, and the
cloud which had sat on his brow when
he thought of the cold-blooded deser-
ton of Mr.. Brown gave way to an ex-
preston of serene content.
At the quay the skipper locked up
the cabin, and then calling on one of
the shore hands to keep an eye on
the forecastle, left it open for the con-
venience of the small passenger.
Harry, Charlie, and the cook stepped
ashore The skipper and mate fol-
lowed, and the latter, looking back
from some distance, called his atten-
ton to the desolate little figure sitting
on the hatch.
Father" cried a small voice.
"He-he's adopted you now" said
the skipper, huskily.
COR you," said the mate. IT never
took much notice of him."
Its you he's after, tell you," said
the mate. "Who do you want, Billy?'
Il want my father" cried the youth,
and, to prevent any mistake indicated
the raging skipper with his finger.
who do you want?" beloved the
latter, in frightful voice.
Want you. father" chirruped
Master Jones.
whats the matter?" inquired Mrs.
Hunt, cycling the crowd in amazement
as it grouped itself in anticipation.
Nothing" said her husband, Off
handedly.
Who's that boy?" cried the limo
cent woman.
IT'S a poor little mad boy" began
tfe skipper; "he came aboard"
I'm not mad. father" interrupted

Feeling utterly provoked, she cried:

You"-pointing to girl whom she no.
