too good to be true!' And Wilbur
rushed off to find Jerry to tell him the
good news. When Jerry had heard it
he drew in his breath, then whistled
softly.
"Well, here is a go!" he began, but
checked himself. Sure, I'll help you
all can, Wilbur, but newsboys life
isn't all peaches and cream you
knowi"
"Of course not, but a schoolboy's is
worse! Don't you commence to preach,
Jerryi"
So Jerry remained silent, but did
great deal of thinking as he discussed
business plans with his friend. Ihe
next morning found Wilbur with
bundle of papers at his post bright and
early, and his bright, interested nttle
face and alert movements managed TO
help him dispose of the greater part
of his stock. Luck favored him in the
evening as well, and quite an array
of coppers was his when darkness fell.
Then he hunted up Jerry full OF en-
thusiasm. Jerry congratulated hlIli'
and then asked him where ne was go
ing to sleep that night. Wilbur hadh
thought of that necessity until now
and he sobered at once.
.'You can come home and share my
cot if YOU would like" said his friend,
kindly. at is a poor sort of home COM
pared to yours, but the old woman will
make you welcome"
The attic rooms did seem poor sort
of home as Wilbur contrasted II with
his own, but the "old woman" did re-
ceive him kindly and comforted the
homesick boy with ham and bread and
butter. After this homely meal Jerry
sat down with an old primer and slate
and began to study industriously.
''Why do you do that?" asked Wilbur
in amazement.
Because 1 don't want to grow up
dunce!" answered Jerry doggedly. you
chaps who get the chance of going toS
school don't realize how lucky you are.

It's awful hard not to be able to read
and write.
Wilbur sat very still and thought
very hard. Here was an entirely new
view of school life. Perhaps a news
boys life wasn't the ideal one, after all.
He slept little that night, so full was
his head of the novelty of his surround
ings.
The next morning he went to his post,
but it was with a very heavy heart in
deed, and as the day went on he grew
more miserable. Jerry seemed to guess
what was in his friends mind, but said
nothing until after supper. Then he
spoke up:
"Say, old man, what's the use of
sticking it out any longer? Your pa
rents will be as glad to have you back
as YOU will be to get there. 1t is better
to face it out right away than to per
sist in such folly any longer. Take my
advice and quit it!
Wilbur did quit it at once, and his
parents, being generous, did not up
braid the boy, but received him with
openly expressed satisfaction. Wilbur
is now a regular attendant at the school
of his former dislike, for he has learned
to appreciate the privileges and oppor-
tunities afforded by such.

WY ILBUR was a little boy who
w hated study and school so much
that he envied every little mes
senger and errand boy that he saw
and wished with all his heart that he
were one of them, so that he would
not have to be penned up in a horrld
room all day. The newsboys came In
for a share of this envy and Wilbur
grew quite filled with the desire to
give up school and become one of
them.
Now Wilbur's home was a very COM
Portable and cozy one, and his par
ents were as kind as possible when
such did not interfere with the good
of their little son. So, of course, they
were Mortified at the very idea of Will
bur's giving up his education and go
ing to work so soon.
"How can he even think of such a
thing?" asked his poor mother quite
tearfully to his grieved father.
"Well, he is very ungrateful to rebel
at the chance he has of going to school,
but perhaps he needs lesson I've
thought of way that may teach him
to appreciate the blessing of home
and good schooling" answered his
father.
So when Wilbur next complained of
having to go to that horrid place this
wise gentleman spoke up quite
briskly:
.Well, my son, you need do so no
longer. Suppose you try your hand
at earning your own living and join
the care-free life. of your friend, Jerry
Flanagan, the newsboy. I'll give you
a small capital to start with, and you
can pay us a visit occasionally, but
you must look out for yourself as he
does!"
.sWhoop!" cried Wilbur in great glee.
"Do YOU really mean it, dad? 1t sounds

Little Helen, during the three years
of her life, had never been separated
from her elder sister night or day for
more than a few minutes at time; but
at last the time came when the sister
went away for a whole day. The child
tried every game and occupation that
She knew of, and new one or two

Finally she gave up and stood and
looked sadly out of the window. Then
she sighed deeply and said.
