We all judged the lad to be about IL
years old He could neither read nor

been tramp. but hobo. a tramp takes
to the highways. but a hobo rides. Il
call hobo tramp is to insult him.

him to school, and all that, but he
or take the SIS purse we made up for him.
He pocketed SO of it, and shook his hcac
al the balance. and said:
IF I had education, a good home, store

They'd drive me out of the purfesh.'
But it's bad life for you" was urged
''Oh, 1 have lots of good times.
But you are always in danger and al

The lad was respectful and good-natured
about it all. but there was no moving him
from his stand. He was a born hobl.
let us make things pleasant for him for
month. but was uneasy all the time to
night without goodby to any one, ana
heard of him Just once after that.
Billy was riding on the bumpers of
freight train, a week or SO after he left
us, and hundred miles away, when the
train broke in two at the top of a long
grade and six cars loaded with explosives
We're left without a brakeman. When
they began to. go down grade they got
such a start that the locomotive had to
make it's best time to Keep the rest Of
the train ahead of them. 1t just had time
to take a switch WHEN the runaways came
booming along, and four miles further
on they must. collide with passenger
train.
Well when that little hobo discovered
that his part of the train had broken loose
and was running away he climbed to the
roo4- of the cars and set every brake.
This was what saved the. portion of the
train ahead from being run down, and
what saved the passenger train. The
grinding brakes finally did the business.
When their wheels ceased to turn the
passenger engine was not a hundred feet
away. 1t was all in the papers, and We
read of what hero our Billy was. and
how he had been offered money and
home And his reply had been the same
to us:
IF had education. a good home, store
clothes and money, couldn't be a hobo'~
They said the boy shrank away from
the praise. and was lost sight of. Thai

The Winter Weather Continues.

The temperatures today have been
seven degrees below the average for
mid winter or twenty-four degrees be-
low normal for this date. There is
nothing but cold weather in imme-
diate sight, and this means that many

of fuel to carry them through the re-

curry will register about fifteen de-
