TIM AND TINY Or the AdEsntqFes g. ?sn:e ss of Week

1t needed all of Tins good nature, how.
ever, to bear with the rebufs he received
during the next three hours. He proffered
his services at least fifty times, and was fifty
times repulsed-sometimes curtly, sometimes
politely, but it amounted to the same thing.
He had about made up his mind that he
had captured the only person in the city who
was willing to pay for help, when young
woman let him carry her basket, and paid
him with a dime This gave him renewed
courage, and before noon he earned still
another dime.
By this time he was both hot and hungry,
and fully prepared for dinner. At an eating
stand nearby he got a substantial meal for
fifteen cents and as he arose to prepare for
the afternoon campaign he received his first
lesson in the wiles Of city life.
While Tim was eating, he noticed man
standing near the curbstone, but paid no at
tention, except 10 note that the man was
very dirty, and it was therefore greatly to his
surprise when he arose that the man stepped
up to him and said in low voice:
Sc! say, partner, can l have few words
with you"
Tim looked more closely. and saw man
about thirty years old, with duh and soggy
complexion, very red eyes, and rusty hair fall.
