right hadn't much time to reflect the probability Of
the freckle faced boys coming into his life.
"A pretty mess I've made of it al' what the
3good fellow" kept saying bitterly to himself when, five
months after his arrival in Denver he faced the fact
that he had gambed away practically his entire patr
mony Big red spots in his prominent cheeks showed
he losing in health he tred with the disease that
had caused him to go West With the loss of health and
money he was losing whatever grip himself he had
possessed. Character building abstract
thing to him. he had never taken any interest in it. He
had paid his debts, told the truth and lived honoraby
after the code of honor Of of his class 1t had been
easy for him to have the things he most desired. No
strength had been developed in him against time when
he could not command and be obeyed Now he altered
under the universities of i'll health and loss of fortune
Without them there nothing in him that could de-
mand aught of Others
"A pretty I've made of it ALL" he repeated. "A
room in the poorhouse for me- ames Widener Carroll
otherwise Jimmy good fellow!'
Then came the inevitable question, whats the
of it alp Sure enough, what the use? few
years of eating and sleeping and waking, eating
clearinghouse food of sleeping with unpleasant Dreams
of waking to consciousness of the he had made of
it all,-this what he saw as he contemplated the
future. In good clothes and holding his among
men and women of his class he could maintain sort Of

self respect Now there was no moral force left in him.
"A few years. he repeated to himself aand then
the end! Why few more years? What's the use in
waiting? Why not now-tonght?"
It didn't matter much where and how he did it. But
he hated the closed He wanted be out in the
open He wanted to be far away from people when he
should do it. People easily excited and full of
curiosity thing of this sort By getting far away
from them he could least defer their excitement and
curiosity 1t better to defer such inevitable things
till as long after the deed as possible.
He put on his overeoat. He would be comfortable.

Well, he hadn't blamed them for it. 1t was their own

other passengers entering the car;
but he was so preoccupied with his
thoughts about tomorrow that he
paid no attention to him. 1t was
when the conductor came forward
to collect his fare that a piping,
CHEEKY voice aroused Jimmy Carroll
from himself.
"Well, Cap'n,' the urchin, who
had dropped into the front corner
seat, was saying with a grown-up
air, you can't shake down many
fares in crowd like this!' He
craned his little neck that he might
see the register. "Only two since
you left the loop. That's him an
me. Well, you certainly amt over
worked yourself on this trip He
indicated the other passenger by a
nod of his head. Looks all in. What
you done to him?"
Sonny-of course it was Sonny
folded his arms and was soon abb
sorbed in studying the advertise
ments along the top of the other side
of the car. On his head was skull
cap, far back; his upper body, slim
as it was, drew his diminutive coat
into wrinkles that spread into two
VS. from the top button; blue jean
pants, patched on both knees,
reached to his shoetops. His little
legs dangled from the seat; for they
could not reach the floor, by many
inches. He must have been cold;
but he had formed the habit of
keeping his troubles to himself, so
he did not shiver. His large eyes
roved restlessly among the signs;
then they fell on the other passenger.
His instinct for companionship got
the better of him. He slipped to the
seat which ran at right angles to his
own. He turned to the man, who
was now directly behind him.
IT'S bully night, amt it," he
began rapturously. Gee! but
amt you glad you re Twin, thought"
The man knew he finched. He
had done it before he realized it was
an impersonal question. Before he
could command some answer, the
boy went on.
3Mebbe you don't feel just the
same way about it as l do; but
you're all tuckered out. Workin'
too hard, mebbe. You'll come back
all right, though, when you rest up
a bit. Why, on a night like this I

vet half his life had been lived under
the responsibility Of a full grown
man. When he was about to enter
upon his eleventh month of baby
hood he had taken his first step. In
his chubby hand he gripped his
daddy's pipe. As he tumbled glee-
fully into the old mans arms after
his exciting adventure, his father
took the pipe and proudly lifted the
infant to his knee.
"You' re beginnin' too early, Sonny,
to wait on them as ought to wait
on you. Don't do t. The timell
come, an all too soon, my boy,
when you'll have to fetch an carry.

Home. The Homes in Denver. I
guess I'll be goin' now
He tried to get up; but the men
told him he must be still and they'd
take care of him.
Sonny seemed not to hear what
they said. "Poor Daddy an Molly!
/ hope it didn't hurried 'em when
they died. If only it didn't hurried
'em!"
Like some flowers that spring
into full bloom in a single night,
Sonny grew into a man in that
moment. Yet he was a child too.
When he placed his hand in yours
and toddled along beside you, utter
ing his grown-up thoughts as Sc
riously as though he was your own
age, he was SO lovable you wanted
to crush him to you in parental
embrace, and never, never let him
60 from you. You knew, though,
that the man in him would rebel at
this. The men at the mine had tried
it, and he had pulled away from
them.
"There's nothin' here for boy to
