SHARING AN ORPHAN.
And there is no hope?" asked
Burke softly.

And there is no hope?" asked
Burke softly.
Eunice Telford shook her head.
Il like you very much-very much"
she said slowly. But l don't think
that it is more than liking, Burke"
Burke Edwards gritted his teeth
hard as he looked out over the water
for a moment, but when he turned
his head again the pain had gone
from his features and he was again
the Burke that Eunice liked so well.
For long time they had been good
friends-Eunice liked to call it chums
and more than once he had asked
for a reconsideration of his proposal.
but Eunice always shook her head.
She liked Burke; liked him better
than any of the other men she knew,
but he seemed to lack tenderness and
that was the quality Eunice most ad-
mired. She was sorry to infiict pain
and suggested that they might go in
If he wished.
mo, thanks" he said evenly. TITS
more pleasant out here on the drive"
Across the road three boys were
playing ball. On the curb sat another
boy of about their age dressed in the
bingham apron that was the uniform
of the orphanage up the street.
How absurd" said Eunice. THAT
boy must be twelve and yet he is
wearing an apron like little boy of
six
'They all have to wear them" ex-
planned Burke "They are easily
washed and they are cheaper than
coats. They wear them the year
round"
Not in winter" gasped Eunice.
Sure" explained Burke. My sis
ter's house overlooks their yard and
you can see them playing in the snow.
| don't think there is an overcoat in
the place. Mostly they tie the aprons
about their waists in vain endeavor
to suggest a shirt waist when they
are let out It's the reward of espe-
cial merit to be permitted to come
over to the drive alone"
The ball slipped from one of the
players hands and came rolling
toward the orphanage boy. He
sprang up to toss it back, but the
player came rushing up.
You leave that ball alone" he de-
manded holly. 1--WE amt goin' to
have you charity kids swiping our
ball, are we, fellows?"
The others had joined the first and
the assent was unanimous. you
girls are getting too fresh" went on
the first speaker. why don't you
stay in your prison and play by
yourselves? We don't want girl-boys
over here. Who wants to play with
a boy who wears dresses"
The orphan had sprung to his feet
at the first approach. There was colo
welcome to the orphans from the boys
in the fashionable apartments alonf
the drive and the first demonstration
of hostility was sufficient warning
Now he faced his tormentors holly.
I'm no girl" he cried. even II
do have to wear an apron. I'm not Il
blame for that"
you are a girl" insisted the ag
gressor. you don't wear coat ant
you do wear dress. Go on. ! coul'

By way of illustration, his fist shot
out and bruised the pale cheek of the
orphan. With cry. Eunice sprang
mp, but Burke's arm held her back.
Wait a moment" he said quietly.
1T would be a treat to see some of
hose young snobs get thrashed"
The boy had answered the blow and
the fight had become general. 1t was
three against one, but that one was
holding his own bravely and Burke
looked on approvingly. The orphan,
smarting under sense of wrong, was
match for the three and fought
them savagely.
He had them in retreat almost be-
fore Eunice realized that the battle
was over. The elevator boy in one of
the houses bordering the drive, came
running over, seeing in prospect a fat
tip for taking the part Of the tenants
sons, but Burke was beside the boy
as he came up and the newcomer
5esitated.
"Those youngsters got what they
deserved" he said shortly. Clear out
Of here"
1--WE been wanting to see some of
these young DULLES trimmed up for

smile. Those kiddies cannot help

Just because he is a good fighter?"
asked Eunice contemptuously.
Burke turned to her with new ex-
preston on his face. light in the
kindly blue eyes that she had never
seen before, though the men he
worked with knew it and were
warned.
Because he has the spirit 20 avenge
his wrongs" he answered Because
he deserves a better chance than he
can get in that institution SIN going
to give him the chance THAI is his
heritage because he has in aim the
markings of a man"
Eunice put out her hand. Forgive
me-" she cried. 81 did not understand.
I want to share your orphan, Burke.
II was because you seemed to care so
little for others that l feared to marry

His hand closed over hers as he
softly quoted: And a little child shall
lead them"

WRESTLE WITH
PAVING PROBLEM

The proposed experiment Of dressing
fifty or a hundred feet of Holman
street brick pavement with asphalt ma
cadam, As suggested by the directors Of
the Hammond Chamber Of Commerce,
was discussed in the council and before
the board of public works this morning
The eouncff referred the matter to the
street and alley committee to get prices.
Contractor William Ahlborn bfore the
board Of public works this morning
said that he would suggest at least two
and quarter or half inches of macad-
am for effective work. He said he be-
lieved that asphalt macadam could be
made to hold on brick but said it was
not the proper kind OF a pavement for
business ctreet. He said to put on
such dressing would cost about sl15
a square yard. A problem arise on
Holman street which evidently had not
been thought Of: to-wit: that putting
on two-inch dressing would bury the
street car rails just that much, or the
bricks would have to be lowered on a
trackless street this problem is not met
with, but the experiment was discussed
with reference to Holman street
Mr.. Ahlborn. who is an authority on
paving. said incidentally that cresoted
block is the only kind of pavement
for Hammond. particularly in the busi-
ness district, as it is durable. noiseless
and dustless. The cest of creosoted
block is in the neighborhood of SO a
square yard.
