of the many restaurants along the beach. And not one of the hundreds of show places could they enter for the want of the necessary price of admission. So from that day. they had decided to stay at home and spend their spare dimes in some cheap ice-cream parior or restau- rant of a Sunday afternoon.
 And so the years had passed and Pat knew nothing of life, away from the East Side. But there he had learned many, many things that should have been spared him. And now. on the glorious August morning which was broadening into day about~ him, he turned from the old life of the streets towards life in the country. Not that he had any fixed notion of how he was going to get on. But he was alone in the world, and had no one to guide or advise him. So he followed out his own impulses. And his heart said "Go to the country where you may see the sunrise each morning. and where your. nose may sniff the grass and trees wet with dew, and your ears may drink in the songs of birds"
 Half mile below the spot where he had passed the night was a ferry pier, and for the price of five cents, Pat could reach the other side of the river, could go into another world!
 He counted his money-seventeen cents in all, tied up in a greasy rag-and

family before their usual hour for rising And Dandy seemed q calm. gentle bird, much to the relief of Billy and Flora, who feared he might become very bolster gus during the first days and cause some disturbance.
 So in the kitchen, in nice dark cor ner where he might sleep on his perch to his hearts desire, sat Dandy. And from his aspect he liked his new quarters very much. It had been decided that he should not know the confinement of cage If he behaved himself while enjoy ing his complete freedom But In Billy's room was a spacious cage to be used It necessary.
 The night wore away and Dandy slept on his perch, dreaming, no doubt, Of the things he loved best. Towards mora ing-perhaps an hour before dawn there was n slight stir nt the kitchen window, and moment later the sash was forced up and q dark form crept into the room. Dandy, who was light sleeper, awoke with the first noise at the window and sat on his perch as quiet as q mouse, his keen eyes on the intruder as he entered through the open window and proceeded to the diningroom. There Dandy lost sight of him, but evidently his mind was busy with thoughts of him, for he remained very quiet for some minutes. Then of sudden he yelled out In the lustiest of lusty voices, Hello, there! What are you afterl Get out, you bum!'
 There ensued a scramble, and the dark form that had come in through the win faxr 1nfo went head first out through 1t pellmell And behind him he left a bag of heavy metal that clanked on the kitchen floor when he dropped it. Dandy, still ex- cited, kept on crying out: "Get out, you bum."
 The noise awoke Mir. James, and he came running downstairs. Soon he had a light In both dlning-room and kitchen,

 After walking for about an hour Pat became very tired and sat down beside the road to rest. Small towns were scat tered round him. seeming to spring up from among the green trees. Sitting there, he began to make some plan for the future. for he couldn't live on fresh air'' and "country scenes'' alone. He de- cided he must get to work in some way. Well, he would whit.
 But at thesmoment along came an auto- mobile speeding over the road. When within short distance of Pat the ma chine "skidded'', and was thrown across the road, striking with heavy force against q huge tree. The occupants. q chauffeur, lady and n little boy, about Pats own size, were thrown to the ground. Pat ran quickly to where the three persons lay, seemingly dead, for all were stunned to inconsistencies. Pat stopped beside the lady. She was white and fraIl. Then he ran to q small pond that glistened hundred feet away and filled his hut from 1t. This he dashed over the lady's face.
 Pat was rewarded by seeing the lady open her eyes. Then she sat up and rubbed her face COnSclOuSneSS return1I and she asked of Pat what had happened. Pat explained what had occurred, Then the lady turned her attention to the child, who was beginning to move about. The chauffeur regained consciousness and got to his feet, staggering like q drunken man. But Pat was relieved to find that none of tue three persons was badly hurt; they were merely jolted up q bit and had been stunned from the severe fall to the hard ground.

BY WILLIAM WALLACE, JR.

~ ATRICK DANBY had never known what 1t meant to have q good
 home He had been born in the
 slums of New York city, and when but three years old his father had met with q fatal accident while working in a street tunnel, and was carried from the scene of accident to the Charity Hos pital from there to the cemetery.
 And then came the tug of war; for poor little widow Danby. mother or Patrick, commonly known as Pat. And until Pat was seven years old the loving little mother kept him In school by the labor of her hands. Then her health began to fail and she was obliged to send Pat on the street to sell papers, for she could no longer fight the battle or bread-earning and rentpaying alone.
 Sc the two worked together, Pat and the little mother, till Pat reached 12 years of age. One evening. after day of intense heat. when the great city seemed on fire, Pats mother was carried from the box factory, where she worked, to the same Charity Hospital where her husband had breathed his last. And there, too, the poor over-worked widow passed from the battle of life, and Pat stood alone beside the plain black coffin in which the city buried her.
 Then little Patrick knew what 1t meant to be on the streets, for he could not pay the rent for the one room in which he and his mother had lived since the fathers death. Till that sad day they had known the comforts of two-room apartment and had at least not wanted for food. But Pats paper. business did not bring in enough profit to pay room rent and coal bills and the price of food. So on the third day after his mothers death, Pat, broken-hearted and alone, sold to secondhand dealer the few house furnishings. his mothers only pos sessions, and with the paltry dollars they brought, stepped out to face the world.

one has such nearby neighbors. We must do nothing to bother other peo- ple."
 But" begged Billy, his face falling. "the parrot will not bother any one, for I'll keep him in my room at night and in the early morning I'll get up and put him in cage and throw dark cloth over 1t. That will make him keep quiet. for he'll think 1t still night. Oh, mamma, please let us have him."
 'Yes, Mamma, If you could see how pretty he is, and hear his cute manner of talking. you'd want him as much as We do," added Flora. 'He says, Hello. there. What you afterf' and Get out. you bum.'
 Mrs. James laughed, and remarked that evidently Mir. Zaney had not taught his parrots very nice things to say. Then she added: Let's wait till Papa comes home and have him decide the matter. If he consents to your having the par rot I shall not object. But-we'll have to keep the noisy fellow quiet of early mornings"
 'I'll see to that" said Billy, kissing his mother for half-giving her consent to their having the parrot. And I'm sure Papa will say 'yes.'
 That evening at the supper table the matter of the parrot was talked over. At first MT. James shook his head. "No, sonny" he said to Billy, who had asked him about the bird. "A parrot Is great nuisance. He is loud and ungoyernable."
 But parrot is the cutest, just the cutest thing in the world" said Flora. "And-youd just love this one if you could see him and hear him talk, daddy"
 Mrs. James looked as if about to yield, and her glance at her husband caused him to say: "Well. bring him in if you think you can manage him so as to have no complaints from the neighbors. But, if he becomes too bothersome, well, you must be reconciled to parting from him. We will explain 1t that way to good Mir. and Mrs. Davis"
 "Oh, thank you, papa," said Billy. ''Yes, thank you, papa, denr,' added

ache for hours safterward from contact with the officers club.
 So on the fourth night after his mothers death Pat wandered to the out skirts of the city where some of the vacant lots filled with great boulders and occasional trees gave him sweet security from the ever-to-be-feared "cop." And there Pat crept into nook ana slept the sleep of the weary and over worked child. And when he awoke In the morning bird was singing right over his head The city far below him was awaking with dull roar. and the sun was sending signals of his approach in the form of long brilliant yellow rays which shot far into the heavens. Pat lay still and listened to the birds song and watched the suns approach. Then, awaking to the realities of life, he arose and wondered where he would find his breakfast His papers would be ready for him soon. but-he must go away into the very heart of the city to get them And then would fol- low the mad rush to sell them. How he hated the thought of the city noise md heat on this beautiful morning after taste of quiet and sweet peace. Then m idea came to him. He would leave the city-go nway, anywhere, so as to be outside it's noise, heat misery.
 He turned hls face toward the Hudson River, within stone's throw of where he had slept through the night And

Flora, running to her fathers side and hugging and kissing him warmly. You re the bestest daddy In the world"
 But he's made so by the bestest mom- sey,' said Billy, rising and hugging his mother affectlonateiy. Remember, It's mammals glance behind the throne that makes the king of the James realm so easily brought to terms"
 Then they all laughed and the meal was completed In the usual happy man. her, for the four James-father, mother, son and daughter-were the best of com rades.
 The very next day Billy took a big basket and went out to the farm of Mir. Davis. He got the parrot and came home victoriously. Isn't he dandy?'' he fellow on a perch that had been bought that morning by Flora.
 "Yes. he's a nice parrot" agreed Mrs. James. 'I suppose he Is too much fright ened by his new surroundings to talk for a few days. But he'll soon become ac- quainted with us.''
 But hardly had Mrs. James said this when Mir. Parrot called out in lusty voice: Hello, there! What you after?" Of course, Mrs. James and the children laughed merrily at the new arrival, whom they decided to call by the name of Dandy" And all that afternoon the neighbors' children were coming In to get acquainted with Dandy. Isn't he just too cute for anything?" said Lily Tray CTS, one of Flora's girl chums.
 "oh, he's a perfect darling" said Nellie Bryant, another of Flora's best friends" And all the neighbors declared Dandy would not annoy them in the least even though he did get to talking of early mornings. The first night of Dandy's stay in the James house 1t was decided that he should be left in the kitchen, as that part of the house was the farthest removed from the sleeping rooms and the fellows early talking would not wake the

 After q few minutes consultation, the lady and the chauffeur asked Pat to go to the nearest village and bring some as- sistance to them. Pat was only too glad to make himself of use to the lovely and gracious lady who smiled so kindly into his face.
 Soon Pat had brought a physician and a conveyance and driver from the village. and the lady and child were found to be unhurt save from the severe jolt of the fall. But the chauffeur sustained a sprained arm and bruised shoulder. But the physician soon had him in condition to get into the carriage with the lady and the boy.

 'I haven't q home ma'am," confessed Pat, bis pale face flushing from shame at his ayowed poverty. "I'm-I'm just lookin' for work somewhere-anywhere so as it takes me out of the city. Thank you. ma'am.''
 But the lady's interest In Pat was roused and she insisted on his entering the carriage and sitting beside herself and son. When the lady had heard his story she took his thin little hand and said: ''I have q place for you at my house-a big place in the country. You shall have both schooling and work my boy. And Pm sure you will repay us for anything we give you. You are Q hero if q newsboy from the slums. !"
 And from thah day Pats life broadened and became useful and happy, for he was a second son to the kind lady whom he had so willingly assisted on the day of the automobile accident.

~ LORA and Billy came home one A day, happy as happy could be.
 They had been spending the day
 with some friends in the country,
 and when they ran into their mothers room, Billy cried out: Say, Mamma. what do you think? We are to have a parrotl
 "Yes, Mamma, a fine talking parrot, declared Flora excitedly.
 Mrs, James laid aside her book and asked for particulars. "Come, tell me about the prospective bird," she said. But a look of uncertainty was in her eyes.
 "Why," explained Billy, "you know Mr. Davis has cousin visiting him from a South American Republic, ana he--the cousin, whose name is MT. Fancy brought with him three fine parrots, each a great talker. for Mir. Zaney has spent much time in teaching them how to speak. We'll. MT. and Mrs. Davis told Flora and me today that we are more than welcome to one of the par rots, for they saw how much we wanted one.

 "Oh, isn't that just splendid" cried Flora, addressing her mother. sBut Mrs. Davis said rather reluctantly: But, my dears, we don't want q parrot-here in town. They are such noisy birds. Why, one could keep the whole neighborhood awake 1n the early morning. I'm afraid. my children. that you'll have to explain to good MT. and Mrs. Davis that while you are most grateful for the proffered parrot, you are obliged, for good reasons, to forego the pleasure of accepting him.

He was soon on deck, standing by the rail and looking into tho rolling waters beneath him. Oh how glorious to really ride on a boat!
 Once on the Jersey shore. Pat looked about him in uncertainty. Where should he go? There were refreshment stands about. and he walked into one ana bought his breakfast which was a glass of ice cream soda. Then he left the group of houses and followed shaded

The first few nights he slept In con venient park, but after that the police men became more strict concerning the park laws and drove the homeless from the shelter of trees, and the restful benches when a certain hour close to midnight arrived. To be sure, one might sit on the benches In the park, even after that fatal hour, but one might not sleep there And Pat knew that he could not work all day and sit up all night, open-eyed.< And if he dared to fall asleep sitting on q bench he was in danger of dropping into n reclining posture. Then, beware, for along would come ''cop" and poor Pats feet would
