and winter time was much harder for
Billy to bear than it had been during
the summer. When it was garden
time he could find plenty to do out
Of doors; but with the cold weather
his "Aunt Jane" kept him busy in
the kitchen under her cold eyes. But
on this day of which l speak the
evening train was obliged to stop for
half an hour at the station, for there
was a "hot box" and the train could
not pull out until some work was done

AS Billy paused in front Of one of
the windows-which was open-a
sweet-faced woman put out her hand
to him. 'ECome here, little man," she
said. And when Billy stepped close
to her window, looking up into her
kind face, smiling, she handed him a
great yellow orange.
edo you live here, little man? 2" she
asked, smiling down on him.
"Yes'm, I live here with the gen
tleman and lady who keep the eating
house," replied Billy, "But they re
not my mother and father" he quick
ly explained, for he feared she had
seen "Aunt Jane" and "Uncle
Tom," and he could not bear to have
her think he was their child. Then
he added, II haven't any mother or
father, I am an orphan, an was ship
ped West a year ago. Since then
I've lived here, ma 'am."
And have you good home, dear
child? And do you love the lady and
gentleman with whom you live?'
There was so much sympathy in her
voice, so much solicitude, that Billy s
eyes glistened with tears. He dared
not try to speak, so he shook his head.
Then, thinking he had done something
wrong, ran down the station platform
toward the engine.
Once outside the glare Of light of
the car windows, Billy stood painting,
tears streaming down his cheeks. How
heavy his heart was! The few kind
words spoken to him by the gentle
voiced lady in the car had reused all
the longing in him for someone to
love, and someone to love him in re
turn. All, how he could love that
dear lady who had spoken so sweetly
to him, and who had given him the
big orange! Oh, if he only dared

Oh, the train was getting ready to
pull out The engineer was in his
place, the conductor was waving a
lantern in the darkness, the engine
was putting and the wheels starting
to go round. There was no time for
debating the matter In his mind. He
must make a qaick decision. And he
did. With a leap he was on the front
platform Of the first passenger coach,
and not moment too soon, for al
most at the same instant the porter
closed the vestibuled door and no one
from the outside could enter the NOV
ing train.
It did not take Billy long to run
through the two or three coaches that
separated him from the rear one,
where he had seen and talked with the
lady. And as he walked down the
aisle Of the car toward her, his face
pale with anxiety, hope, fear, she
looked up from book she was read
ing and saw him.
In another minute he was sitting
close beside her, weeping silently, her
arm about him and her coaxing voice
in his ear. "Come, little man, tell me
what grieves you, and how you came
to be aboard the train. !"

And as the train sped on through
the darkness, Billy poured out his sad
story to the sympathetic ears of the
lady who had opened her heart, as
we'll as her arms to receive him. And

carload Of orphan children were sent
from great Eastern city to the Far
West. These little homeless, and for
the most part nameless, waits we're
distributed about among farmers in
various states west of the Mississippi
River. Some Of them found good
homes, others were not so fortunate.
Among the latter was Billy, the sub
ject of this story He was nine years
old at the time of his being shipped
West and he had no other name
than Billy. This little pet name had
been found pinned to his dress on the
morning when policeman picked him
up in one of the public city parks.
And on the paper that gave his name
as "Billy" was written these words:
Somebody be good to my little boy,
Billy, and God In heaven will bless
you. But SO far that somebody"
had not been found, and Billy's lot
had been a pretty hard one. In the
asylum where he had lived prior to
his being "shipped West" he had
known only severity and work. The
little time that he and other orphans
were allowed to play was after work
and study hours, and then they were
too tired to make joyful use of their
leisure and preferred to lie about on
the hard soil of the uninviting play
ground, with it's jail-like high fence,
and rest their tired limbs. And lying
there they would wonder if in some
other world they would have papas
and mammals, like other children
children Of the great big outside world.
So often these little orphans would
watch with wonder the other chill
dren" going past the asylum, and
cry would sometimes burst from their
lips and tears spring to their eyes as
they compared their own desolate life
with those care-free and happy chill
dren on "the outside
And Billy had been one Of the little
mourners, for these heavy-hearted or
phans could hardly be called anything
else And when one day the news
spread throughout the asylum that
about SO of its inmates were to be
Fshipped West" Billy was one of the
first to cry out: "Oh, let me be one
of them! [ want to go toto a
home
And Billy was one of those chosen
to be sent to the farmers living III
the Far West, and he dreamed Of the
time when he would not wear clothes
just like the other orphans, but would
have a nice Sunday suit, like the
outside boys And for every day
he would dress like the grocer's deliv-
cry boy who came to the asylum, and
who was so red-cheeked and merry,
and who dressed in blue overalls and
bingham shirt, and who whistled such
lively tunes as he drove up to the
grounds.
And with light heart, Billy was
carried far away towards the setting
sun And with a still lighter heart
he was told lie was going to a place

as Billy afterwards learned. So, this
was the home" Billy had not dream
ed of. And his hopes died during the
first hour of his existence there.
Aud all day long he was alone
with this strange, unaffectionate wo-
man and red-nosed man, save for ten
minutes at the noon hour, and ten
minutes again at six O'Clock in the
evening, when trains stopped to allow
their passengers to procure sand
wiches, pie, doughnuts and coffee at
the little station clearinghouse. And
during the ten-minute rush twice
day Billy was happy, for there were
people, laughing, chatting, bustling
people, eating, drinking as fast as
they could And Billy helped to wait
on them, work he much enjoyed, for
though tired out from constant toll
in the garden and kitchen, the excite
ment Of the crowd made him forget
his WEAKNESS.
And SO life passed on and on in
the lonely place with the woman
whom he could not cali mother, and
the man whom he could not call faith
err. But as neither Of these "new
parents seemed to care about what
he called them, so that he did his
work we'll, he was not corrected when
he addressed them as Aunt Jane and
Uncle Tom. Il may find mother
some day." he would whisper to him
self "A good woman that will love
me for my own sake, and not just
feed and clothe me for the work [
do. Oh, how I want to be loved like
the outside children!" BILLY had
never ceased speaking Of children who
were not orphans as "outside chill
dren").
The people who had given Billy a
home expressed their intention of
adopting him according to the law,
thus giving him child's. claim on
them and their property, but they had
put this matter off from month to
month, and after a years sojourn
with them Billy was still the un-
named orphan boy, having no lawful
claim on anybody or anything. But
being so young he did not realize
the wrong these people were doing
him. He did not know that they were
to adopt him as their own son-some
time. He had been told this by the
asylum officials. But as they did not
seem in any great hurry to carry out
that part of their contract, Billy did
not bother himself about it. Indeed,
sometime he hoped they would never
adopt him by law, for then he would
not belong to them entirely ~. And so
long as the adoption had not taken
place he felt sort of freedom-felt
that if the opportunity presented it
self he might leave the station eating
house and the unlikable Aunt Jane
and Uncle Tom, and hunt for home
elsewhere.
At last, however, there came day
which Billy would never forget in
all his life to come, even though he

NO MISREPRESENTATION.
This Paper Published Correct
Copies of the Late La
mented Road Bills.

The information comes to me
that the Hustler is being charged
with having published a gar
bled'' report of the Ray road bill
for Henderson county, introduced
in the State Senate during the
recent session of the General AS
sembly, for the purpose of mis-
reprepresenting the author of the
bill. If there be any individuals
who are disposed to place cre-
dence in such a canard, I wish to
call their attention to the fact
that exact copies of both the
bills are now on file in the Hustler
Office, for the benefit of those de-
sirous of satisfying themselves
personally about the matter. A
comparison of the bills with this
papers report will show the utter
absurdity Of such a statement,
and that no Objectionable feature
Of the bill reported in the paper
was eliminated at any time by
the party who introduced it.
4 had considered my part of the
controversy closed, but the charge
referred to is so unfair to this
newspaper it shall not pass un-
challenged.
The willful and malicious lies
that have been circulated con-
cerning me personally, and my
position in the matter, by the all
thor of the bill, are unbecominq
a gentleman and beneath the no.
tice Of one, and, but for the con,
tlnued misrepresentation of this

nothing further to say.
Let the people compare tn.

with the papers report of them
and decide for themselves wheth
er anyone has been misrepre
-sented. Very truly,

HIGH SCH STATE 1isr.,v
FRUITLAND INSTITUTE 5

The game last Friday evening
between the Hendersonville High
School and Fruitland Institute on
the latter's grounds resulted. i'm a
victory for the High School boys
by the score of II to 6.
The High School boys opened
up the first inning by making
four runs, and nearly every
inning after the first they never
failed to bring in one or two of
their players.
The Fruitland boys could not
connect with the High Schools
twirlers. They were badly in
need of team work.
The Fruitland boys played a
clean straight game, and there
was very little wrangling which
usually occurs more or less in
nearly every game.
The features of the game were
the heavy hitting and the home
run of Houston for the locals.
while w. Pittillo was the star for
Fruitland making three out of
their six runs.
Mr.. Keys Pittillo umpired the
game and there was no fault to
find with his work.
There were several local fans
went out to witness the game
and root for the home boys.

was certainly satisfactory to ths
convention from the noise they
made.
The third alderman was ballot,

Foster Bennett being nominated,
at Mr.. C.. E. Brooks suggestions

The nominees were called upon
for speeches. Mr.. Brooks and
/ Mr.. Rhodes replied in a few well
chosen words, and Mr.. SGchenck
lin a fine, sincere little talk told
the convention how he appre-..
ciated the honor they had con-
ferred upon him. Said he had

the citizens of the town consult
with him as to those things, con
corning the towns welfare. He
complimented Mr.. J. S. Rrv-
son. the retiring member of the
board and his other associates.
His speech was we'll received and

board was progressive. They
had gone ahead and done things.

hoped every man in town might

Rev. R. N. Wilcox said the
