AN IMPROVISEP BOOTBLACK
BY HELEN A. _HAWLEY.
Miss Ainslie'strolled through the rooms
occupied for that day by the "Fair for the
benefit of the W. X. Y. Z.." That was
what the posters at every streetborner said.
Of course she must make a puzichase ; cour-
tesy required that. - Miss Ainslie's thrifty
Scotch blood rebelled at the thee -zof throw-
ing away money on something,which was of
no earthly use.
"1 can make prettier things than those
for half their price," she thought, as she
looked over the fancy -work.
The next room held a table of books, at
which her eyes lighted. Good books, too,
but a closer inspection showed they were
shop worn and there; were fly -speck on the
covers: inn Ainslie was dainty to a fault;
she couldn't buy such books, even for a good
cause.
"I'd rather give money out and out."
Then came a genuine eurprise. A kindly
dieposed dealer had sent some of his small
wares, the profits from their sale to edrich
the "W. X. Y. Z." Really practical
things not usually seen at fairs. There
were
things,
and nut-orackers,
and whisk -brooms -too long'a list to men-
tion.
Miss Ainiilie's eyes rested on a box ; ,it
looked quite like a casket of polished wood,
say six inches long, four ticthes wide, and
three inches high. She toached the spring
which fastened it; the lid !flew back, and
there was just the most complete little
blaeking set -a round bilx of blacking, a
round brush to put it on swith, and;a long
brush to make it shine. Inside the oover
was a mark which said "44.".
" Reasonable prioe, I'ml sure," thought
Miss Ainslie. "I'll get it for Wallace's
-
birthday. It'll be just the thing for his
travelling -bag, and may rethind him to keep
tidy while he's away.,"
She drew a breath of relief; two difficult
questions, what to buy el it fair, and what
present to send a boy, beihg thus dispos-
ed of .
Wallace Ainslie was a strong, health y- lad
except for one thing. Every year on a cer-
tain day he had to fly away from home. 'On
the 17th of August he wee Well ; on the 18th
he couldn't breathe,becaned hay -fever stifled
him. They all say it came' with the blos-
soming of the golden -rod. ISo it was a;point
with the Ainslie family that each year, not
later than the 15th of Angust, some one
must start with Wallace for -the White
Mountains, or some one of the places where
hay -fever was unknown, and there Wallace
must stay until frosts oame.i The boy liked
it well enough ; he had a royal good time;
but it was a great inconvenience to the old-
er people. However, they hoped that, by
taking these measures during his growing
years, the tendeney would ilte overcome be-
fore he reached manhood. This year he
had gone to Bethlehem, in the White Moun-
tains; When the birthday present arrived,
on September 2, and the wrappings were
stripped off with eager o riosity, Wallace
whistled -a long whistle.
"Well, Aunt May is a q ear one. Of all
things, to send me some bl akin -brushes !"
But, being trained to g od ,•• reeding, he
managed to write a letter of thenks,and not
show his disappointment. '
"I am so mach obliged to you, sir," Mr.
Ainslie was saying to Mr. Ben. The two
gentlemen stood on the itpa of the Alpine
House at Bethlehem. It yau the first day
of October. "My 'six weeka are up and I
can't possibly stay any longer; but the
frosts are late this year, and I don't like to
take Wallace back yet."
"Leave hint in my care," Mr., Allen had
offered. , "1 shant go till the last of the
month. ' I can take him ali far as New York
and put him on the train,; there's no ehange
from there, and he'll be cialfe at your place
before evening."
"Thank you, thank you 1 He's been
over the route so many times I think he
THE HURON EXPOSITOR,
could manage it himself, but he's rather
young to travel alone 0I shall feel quite
safe to leave him with you."
October is glorious in the meiuntains, but
the glories quickly venial' under the oold
north breath. It was time for even the late
stayers to go home.
"We'll start to -night, Wallace. 1 don't
think I'll telegraph your father ; if you're
mother doesn't know you're on the road till
you get there, she won't have ocoaaion to
worry. These mothers do worry sometimes,
my boy."
"AU right," said Wallaoe. He had a
boy's liking for doing , things in a manly
way.
At evening they were just ready to start.
" Here, sir! Mr. Allen, Air !" and one of
those fateful yellow-brown envelopes was
thrust into that gentleman's hand. Ele
opened it and looked annoyed. A.
" Here's a pretty go. This teltram says!
I must stop off on important business at
Springfield, and then go to Providence.
What am I to do with you? It may be
days -befare I oan go home." The kind man
spoke hurriedly in his perplexity.
"1 can get through New York all right,
Mr. Allen; I'm not a bit afraid."
" W ell, we go together to Springfield, at
any rate. I'll telegraph a friend in.the city
to meet you and see you started for home.
Lucky you reach New York in the morning.
That seems to be the only thing I can do,for
we're about the last ones left here'and I
don't know a soul whom I oould trust you
"Never you fear, sir!" Wallaoewas only
fourteen, and not large for his age, but he
looked exultant.
"Yes, there's one thing more I can do ;•
I'll give you my card and write on it all the
directions for reaching my house. If Bar-
clay mines you, or you have any trouble in
New York, you oan go to my house and
stop over a day with Mrs. Allen. Here,
put the card in your pooketbook, where it'll
be safe."
"Thank you very much," said Wallace.
"But I know exactly how to change oars,
even if no one meets me. We've done it lots
of times. I've been back from Bethlehem
three times already."
"You'll be fast asleep when I leave you
at Springfield. And you may as well get to
bed 'now." For they had finished their
plans on the train. " Mind you write as
soon as you get home."
" God keep the lad from harm ! 1 don't
hell like it, but what can -I do ?" amid Mr,.
Allen to himself.
Breed dayliest. Alone in New Yorksand
penniless! Just a little better than dark
night, and that was all • for Mr. .Barolay
was • out of town and did not get the tele-
gram, and when Wallace had elbowed
through the crowd to a little open space,he
put hie band in his trousers pocket, to find
pocketbook, money and ticket gone. Mr.
Allan's card, too, and he had not even look-
ed at the address! Only his bag Was left,
slung over his shoulder by its strong 'strap.
Shull blame if he felt like crying foriabout-
five minutes; but he set his teeth and said,
"1 won't 1" as hard as he could. There was
plenty of good blood in his veins; all his
life he had, been taught courage and self-re-
liance'and he had the dash of romance
whichbelongs to every high-spirited boy.
What _should he do? He might tell his
story and beg for help to get home.
"No, sir ! No Ainslie ever begged." The
thought of stealing never entered hie head;
he had beia too honorably brads, Mechani-
oilly he opened his bag. There.were his
few toilet necessities; there was a nice lunch
prepared for him at the Alpine House, by
the precaution of his friend. He need not
go hungry for one day at leart. In the bot-
tom of the bag lay that blacking case, and a
swift remembrance 0a1D8 of the postscript
he had added to hie letter .of thanks. " If
I get hard up I can go into business with
the rig you sent me," -that was the .post.
script.
" I'll do it, andnarn money enough to get
home with. It only takes two dollars ; I
wonder how many 'shines' that means.
Papa always says any honest work is honor-
able. I don't think he'd care. Besides,
-there isn't anything else for a fellow to do,
as I can see.
These were the thoughts passing through
his brain, and Wallace threw his bead back
with the air of a conqueror.
The first man to whom Wallace said,
'Shine, sir ?" stuck out hie foot mechanical-
ly, and 'didn't so much as look at the boy
when he tossed him a nickel. He was too
Much engrossed in the reports of stooks in -
the morning paper. After that, now and
then, a gentleman gave a curious glance at
the unusual eight of a clean bootblack who
wore decent clothes; but New York is far
too busy and has too much of the unexpect-
ed to permit inquiry -with this exception,
where personal rights are infringed one may
ask questicns ; and that happened pretty
80012.
Thera came a stinging slap on 'Wallace's
cheek, and he sprang'up to coefrontn dirty
young knight of the brush,not quite so large
as himself, whose visage was, to say the
least, wrathful.
". Wot yer dein' here in my beat, hey?
Yer don't belong here nuttier. Git out o'
this. Git ! I say. My! ain't he swell !
How many shines didit take ter buy them
clo'es-or did yer steal 'em
Wallace had a strong sense oil -truth and
justice, and be was (pick -witted. After the
first intense surprise and anger he saw that
the little bootblack had a certain right to
an explanation. " I'll tell him just how it
is," he thought.
"See here," he said, "I'm not a swell -
these are my every -day clothes"(" My !"
said the other), "and I didn't steal them.
Some thief picked my pocket as t got off the
train -took all my money mid my oar tick-
et. I had this blacking kit in my bag, and
I just thought I'd earn enough to get home
with. • iIt'll only take twd dollars. I've
made fifteen cents already."
It was wonderful to watch the change
creep over that grimy face -from wrath to
open-mouthed admiration and genuine re-
spect.
"Well, I vum ! That's bully !" was all
he could say.
"1 don't want to take your customers,"
continued Wallace. "Can't you show me a
place where I won't be on anybody's regu-
lar beat?"
"My eyes !" Tommy Mills drew in his
breath and winked one eye; "Yes, siree,
yer bet I can, now I know yer ain't no swell
--yer a real gentleman. Yer needn't go no-
wheres else; yer can stay right by me.
When the men comes from their lunch
there'll be lots more'n I can do. All the
same I'd fight any feller as tried to come on
my beat 'thout akin' permission. This
yer's a bully time fer buzness," he continu-
ed. " All the gents is jest home from their
summers out, and it's powerful dusty to-
day. It'll be dull bimeby when the gents
wears their rubbers, bless their delikit
souls !" His teeth showed white in the sur-
rounding smut as he grinned, though with
no perception that he had made a pun. To
help a well-to-do boy like Wallace Ainslie
was an experience new and refreshing. It
brought out all that was best in Tommy
Mills.
" Say," he called out as the day wore on,
" where yer gold' to stay nights?'Yer
won't make no forty ehines in one day, I tell
yer-yer'll do well if yer do it in two.though
'tie the beat season for biz'."
Wallace had not yet teokled this problem,
and he looked troubled.
"Why, I don't knee/ ; I hadn't thought
SO far. Couldn't I sleep outdoors! The
nights aren't very cold yet."
"I'm afeared not. Yer see, yer don't
look - like a streeter. The cops " (" The

'd be sure ter pounce on yer an' take yer to
the station'us. But yer can come with ma ;

I've slept on the ground before now, whe
we camped out. Thank you ever so much.
Tommy wasn't used to being thankednuaid
be seemed embarrassed. Earlier ,in the deer
Wallace had asked him to share his abund-
ant lunch, and the bootblack tasted sueh
food as seldom touched his hungry tongue.
But it won hie heart. In return he had
freely replenished Wallace's blacking whdn
the little box gave out.
That night was a revelation. Wallace hed
never before come face to face with poverty.
and this was beyond belief. Yet the ope
roorn was as clean as a room could be'in
whioh all the processes of living went OH.
Tommy, too'with great politeness, offered
the tin wash -basin for Wallaoe'a use, befere
he scrubbed his own face and hands. le a
rough way he was kind to his mother end
the little sisters; a pair of twine they wee,
not three years old. He was evidently
proud to introduce his new acquaintance.
It was proof of Wallace's fins training that
he felt only pitiful and not superior. Mrs.
Mills, in her youug days, had been nearer to
his world than she» was now -that is, be
had been a servant in a respectable family.
It- was a comfort to tell the story of her
hard life even to his boy, he bad such pity-
.
ing eyes. .
"Tommy has never been a week in i;the
ir,
country in all his life, san' him goin on
thirteen. I've tried to have him go With
them fresh-airere, but ,,he wouldn't go and
leave me with the bableri-he's that g,:) od,
Tommy is, isn' his father dead two Years
come January." Wallace's heart wasisoft
for the little fellow whose fate had bee so -
different from his own. 1
When bedtime cam, Mrs. Mills ade
what shift the could for decency by ang-
ing a tattered sheet across the room. hen
both boys lay down on an 'old quilt for a
mattress, and were no longer one poor and
the other rich, for sleep led them both into
the happy land of dreams.
It took the novice the best part o two
days to earn his fare home, and he felt very
proud when he found he had a little ;more
than enough. He learned muoh . in those
days of "how the other half lives "-not by
any means the worst, of them either, be-
cause theirs was an honest life at least.
They paid ten dollars a month rent for that
one poor room., Wallace thought of a come
fortable whole house belonging to his father
whioh didn't bring in so Much as that.
" It's only a little while, spring an' ,fall,
that Tommy's work is brisk like 'tie ow,"
Mrs. Mills geld. " An', anyway, tain't
like it was 'fore these Eyetalians took it up,
and the big hotels has their own ri inere.
Not half so much chance for the boys. But,
with me sewin' far shops an' Tommy'iework,
we ain't never come to the starvin' pont yet
-pretii4i<eGod for that 1" she added, 'raver-
(2neyi "I'll never forget you, Tommy,'' said
Wallace as they went to the Grand entral
Station on the morning of the third day.
"I've put down just where you live, and
I'm going to write to you, see if I don't,and
-and" but he didn't conclude the sentence.
There were vague ideateof what hls power-
ful papa oould do which he did not are to
disclose. 1 '
" Well, I vurn 1" -which seemed to be
Tommy's usual, expreesion when ettrprise
overcame him. The boys shook ,handel
thougft the bootblack was evidently unused
to such courtesy. Wallace had ten cents
left after buying hie ticket. Forty-two
shinea in two days -that wasn't ba cl for a
beginner. He wanted to offer the ten cents
to Tommy, but an innate delicacy prevented
him -the hospitality bed been too true for
thM".r. Ainslie came to his]dinner early that,
day. Be loOked anxions,i and carried an
open letter.
" Here's Allen writing to say he hopes
our boy is safe at home -had to send him
alone from Springfield. Started Monday
night, and here 'tie Thursday. What CAU
have happened to him ?"
There was a great to-do, of cours , with
the mother and Miss Ainslie both set to
worrying. Right in the midst of it Wallace
walked in -no, he didn't ; he bounded in,
looking a little shabby tie to his clothes, but
perfectly well and happy. I
Didn't he enjoy telling his story, though!
Any boy likes to be a hero.
"You see my postscript came true,' Aunt
May. I thought your present was an aw-
fully queer one, but it turned out to be a
daisy." 1
"My dear," said Miss Ainslie, "you will
find that true with much that comes to us
in life. We don't fanoy the gift At first,bnt
it proves to be the very best in the I end."
Miss Ainslie liked to slip in a gentle lesson
when she oould.
"We musetry to do something foe that
Tommy," said Mr. AitAslie. . '
"Oh, papa ! I knew you would. ou're
a brick l -that was Wallaceict opinion
What Mr. Ainslie did, and what came of
it, would make a book, and therefore dannot
come into a !short story. 1 Only it may be
hinted thst the Mille family moved into the
countryseind that Tommy proved ef,cient
in office -work. Maybe he stddied law.
Certainly he might make a good1judge, ,for
he could see both sides of a questionr--and
all ambitions are possible to boys in
America.
THE END.
The Three Women's Prayer
. Meeting. '
1
In the town of Woodstock, Connecticut,
in 1780, there was not a Christian chu oh or
institution. The inhabitants numbered
about 600, scattered overa farming terri-
tory. In some way three women fou d out
that they professed to be Christians and
members of the same church -the Con rega-
tional church. One womai, advano d in
yeers, lived in the centre o the to u ; a
woman in middle life lived t ree miles way,
and a younger woman lived Ithree miles the
other way. They had mov d into the town
at different times, and from different places,
but in some way got aequa nted, and each
found out that the others ere Chriitians.
Tbe old lady said to herself
,
"1 have not long to live Have q done
my whole duty? My husband and family
know I have been faithful, but are !there
nb others Whom I might benefit ?"
She sent an invitation to the othe two
women to visit here and they met t her
house, and prayed and talked about m tters,
and finally decided to come togethelr the
next Thursday afternoon at one o'clock, in
the sohool house, and have a meeting.
The •old lady said to the younger wpman :
"You can sing; will you sing?' •1
"1 will," sbe replied.
She said to the middle-aged woman,:
"You can read ; will you read two ,, or
three chapters from the Bible ?" ;
"1 will," was the reply. "Then," said the old lady, 4 -. will
pray.
So on Thursday afternoon they a me to-
gether. One came three miles fr m the
east; another came three miles fr m the
west; and the yonuger lady sang, alid the
middle-aged lady read the Bible, aisd the
old lady prayed.
A woodman, going by on a load of wood,
and seeing the door open, thought h would
close it. He went to the door, and heard
the old lady praying. It was a new revela-
tion to him. He listened till s e said
"Amen," and then heard her sek the
others : 1
"Shall we come again ?"
"Yes," they &powered, "let ns co e next
Thursday at one o'clock."
The woodman mounted hie load, nd told
everybody he met. The next T ursday
when the women got there they fo nd the

Prepared only by •fi( ott & Bowne, Belleville,
house full. There were three chairs pro-
vided for them. They went in, and the
young wemd.n said :
"1 ant too diffident to sing before all
these people,"
" You must sing," said the old lady.
"I cannot read before all these people,"
said the other woman.
"You must read.," said the old lady.
So the singer sang, and the reader rtai,
and the old lady prayed ; and before she
had got half through her prayer there was
sobbing all over the house. In a few days
they sent for s. minister from the next town
to labor in the fields which were white and
ready for the harveet. To -day there stands
where that school house stood a little white
church. I have preached in it. It ig the
result of the faithful efforts of those three
women. -Dr. L. B. Bates.
How Billy Took His Lager.
" Boy Billy' , was the adopted son of
Christian Zend4an honest German, who
was much shocked one day at seeing the
boy in a lager beer saloon, tossing off &-
foaming glass of beer. He bade the boy
go home but said nothing till evening.
After --tea, Zende \ seated himself at the
table, and placed before him a variety
of queer things. Billy looked on with curi-
osity.
'Come here, Billy,' said Christian Zende.
'Why were you in the beer -shop to -day?
Why do you drink beer, my
'Oh -oh -because its good,' said Billy
boldly.
'No, Billy, it is not good to the mouth.
I never did see so big faces, as you did
make. Billy, you think it will taste good
by-and-by, and it looks like a man to
drink, and so you drink. Now, Billy,
if it is good, have it. I will not hinder
you from what is good and manly, but
deink it at home; take your drink pure,
and let me pay for it. Come, my boy i
You like beer. Well, open your mouth. I
have all.the beer stuffs, pure from the shops.
Come, open yoqr mouth, and I will put it
in.'
Billy drew near but kept his mouth close
shut. Said Zende, 'don't you make me
mad, Billy. Open your mouth.'
Thuslexh.orted, Billy opened his mouth,
and Zettde put a small bit of aluni in it:
Billy drew up his face. A bit of aloes fol-
lowed.; This was worse. Billy winced.
The 14st morsel of red pepper now, from a
knifeoint made Billy howl.
1
4 W at not like beer?' said Zende. Open
your outh.' A knife dipped in .oil of tur-
pentine made Billy cry.
'Open your mouth; the beer is not half
made B
eyeti.11y
's tongue got the least dusting
of lime, and potash, and saleratus. Billy
now dried loudly. Then came a arain of
liquoeice, hop pollen, and saltpetre.
' Leek, Billy! Here is some arsenic and
some strychnine; these belong to beer.
Open your mouth.'
'1 ean't ! I can't!' roared Billy. ' Ar-
senio and strychnine are to kill rats! I
shall die! Oh -oh -oh -do you want to
kill rhe?' ..s•
t ' Kill him! just by a little beer all good
and pure ! He tells me he likes beer and -it
hi manly to drink it, and when I give him
some, he cries I kill him. Here is water.
There is much water in beer.
." Billy drank the water eagerly. Zende
went on.
'There is much alcohol in beer. Here
open , your mouth,' and be dropped four
drops of raw spirit carefully on his tongue.
_Billy went dancing around the room, and
then ran for more water.
'Come here, the beer is not done Billy,'
and eeizing him'he put the cork of an am -
Mimi* bottle to big lips, , then a drop of
honey, a taste of sugar, a drop of molasses,
a drop of gall. 'There, Billy, here is jalap,
copperas, sulphuric acid, acetic acid, and
Aux vomica. Open your mouth.'
'()h,:no, no, no!' said Billy, 'let me go.
I hate beer. I'll never drink any more !
I'll never go into that shop again. Oh, let
me go! I can't eat those things. My mouth
tastes awful now. Oh, take them away,
Father Zende!'
'rake them away! Take away good beer,
when I have paid for it? My boy, you
drank them fast to -day.'
'Oh, they make me slick,' said Billy. -
'A man drinks all these bad things mixed
up in water. He gete red in the face he
gets big in his body, he Zgets shaky in hie
hands, he gets weak in his eyes, he gets
Mean- in his manners.'

A Good Definition of Wife.
The pretty school teacher, for a little
divertisetnent, had asked her elass for the
best original definition of " wife," and the
boy in the corner had promptly responded,
" a rib."
She looked at him reproachfully, and
nodded to the boy with dreamy eyes, who
seemed anxious to say something.
"Man's 'guiding star and guardian angel,"
he said, in response to the nod.
"A helpmeet," put in a little flaxen -
haired girl.
"One who soothes man in adversity,"
suggested a demure little girl.
And spends his money when he's
flush," added the incorrigible boy in the
Corner.
There was a lull and is pretty, dark -eyed
girl said, slowly:
"A wife is the enemy of sPinsters."
"One who makes a man hustle," wae the
next euggeetion.
• "And keeps hicn from beaking a fool of
himself," put in another girl.
"Someone for a man to find fault with
when thine go wrong," said the sorrowful
little maiden.
"Stop right there," said the pretty school
teacher. "That's the best definition.' -
St. Paul Pioneer Press.
-While Mr. William Ashcroft was open-
ing a sand pit on his lot, in the village of
Marton, he came upon the remains of a
human beiug wrapped in birch lurk. With
the remains was a tomahawk, a stone pipe
with a long hollow bone for a stem and a
flint. The remains which PATO supposed to
be those of an Indian chief were in a very
good state of preservation. The pipe which
is well made and of considerable size, is a
valuable relic and is highly prized by its
owner. It must have been a half of a cen-
tury ago since the:remains were deposited
there.
