■ LITTLE BILL" HE CEUiuiKn TUg UF* OF .1 MAX Wll" j n No one cvrr Vnrw where Ihe child ! _ . came from, or even its name. "" One day a -loop freighted wilb brick | 'was unlnwling up town, and n band on i deck wa« loaning bricks, two by two, to j '' anolUerrann on the dock. Alt of a sud- j den a wee liulr. chap, uot more than two years old. CMC toddling along, got <1 right hi the w»y aud was knocked over by the flying bricks. Bill Foi-icr, who was handling the II load, was a rough man. It had not been exactly his fault that the child had been knocked down, -till he fell very .-orry for it. The little fellow- bead was badly cut. and he was stunned. He was 0 carried into the cabin of the sloop, and there lay quite motionless. The Captain of Urn *Joop sent to the Police station, and the surgeon came. The child was carefully examined. The surgeon said the case might be a serious one and - thai tlx. 1 1 ■■ j ),oy I.-.* h-Mi-r I,,- faken to , tlie hospital. Forster had a sister who .worked in the laumlry. and at once lie 1 sent for her. Molly ForsUr hurried , l" down to the wharf, took the child in her . lap ami listened breathlessly to what ^ the surgeon said. The eaten of the lirick sloop w as o.d a ( I handsome place to look at. It wis dirty ( tcr set bIhtiIi making it tidy. She o. ened J the little windows of the c ibin. ami kept . the narrow quarters. She fanned the ! child, laid it on n coarse pillow, having first spread her clean apron ovesjit, and | batlied the poor baby's head, trying to , stanch the flow- of blood from the wound- J ••If." said tlie surgeon, "yon could keep I l the child perfectly quiet for a while It j " woijld he all for the better. I am afraid ; ' tQ Jolt him in the ambulance. Maybe j , be will come to before long. It is rather j cooler here on the. river than in tlie liol ^ ! charge of him until 1 come back ? I will , ^ ; sec you this evening. 'V Molly liad ai- ^ 'ready torn np tier handkercliief ami , ( bandaged f.r child's head. Now .lie ! , (allowed the surgeon'* direction-. Tlie ; ( doctor was a humane man, for when he ; left ho put a half dollar into Molly's hand ( ami told licr to buy pome ice to cool tlie ; ( Molly Forster fanned tliotligle sulJcror J ( and bathed his head, and was tender | ^ •with the -ehiid-. About sunset tlie aur>] ( geon came, and just tlien the child oprmd j ^ his eye*. j , "Well, that's a good sign. ' said the! doctor. "Now hadn't you la in r silver- j Somebody will claim him. I suppose- I J can arrange for y,iu to keep him if you t Although Ihe accident was reported in | two brief lines In all the news|)opcrs, and notwithstanding the efforts of the police to find the parents of the child, no one ever came for it". All that night ( Molly Forster nursed the child. Ocoa- t alonally Dill would push his hird-lined , and weather.tieaten face into the cabin > window and look wistfully at tlie little ( child. He never went to sleep that f night, but kept walking up anil down r the deck. At daybreak he said to Molly ; t in a hoarse whisper: "Molly, take that kid to-yonr room. It's got to lie done." , ( : Bin Forster. who was a man ol 40. I j , have said, was rough. I do not know , f how it happened, but handling bricks j J seems to make |>eople rather rmr*r«ad l-a bruta'. Bill would not take only one j glass of whisky, but as many as tic ^ could drink. Mixing with a ryowd of , ( men he was much given to lighting, and ) his face was often as not disfigured with , a black eye or a cut lip. Bill earned ; , about a dollar and a quarter a day, and I f when the week was up lie never liml a , , pcimy left. Perhaps if Bill liad not been a little drowsy and stupid that j j morning from too much liquor the day ! f before, when the little ohap got in tbcj^ way he (Bill) would have been' more cSrefnl how he threw his bricks. ] The week after Molly hail taken charge , of the child Bill resisted the temptation to go on a spree anil gave liLs sister a , dollar and a half, 'hint was the first ( time for many years that he ever saved a , cent. The week after that Bill did even , j better. There «»< Molly working sb , hard as she could at the wash board or , the ironing board, earning 70 cents a day , and feeding the child. That shamed Bill. It happened that the little by* , short frock had been stained with blood , Molly had can-fully washed it. but still j , 1 Bill thought he -aw stains on It and that , | worried him ilck. ] . Next week, when he saw his si*ter. ^ who was waiting on the warf for him with the lible fellow in her arms, he said, "See here. Molly, it's kind of hard on you, having to feed this little fellow. ' Bread and milk and potatoes cost money, j and nursing him takes away lota of your time. Anyway asircaalng of that kind would bo just ruination to you. Here'* a dollar and a half for his keep, and here's a dollar besides, and buy calico or i something and make a frock for that ' child, and mind you bum tlie one he's . got on, and next time free* him let him be looking prime. Wont you?" "It's mighty good of you, bill — and just you wait. I'll rig him out. lie j i-n't a bit of trouble. WhenPmatwiork j I take him to lbs laond-y. and hs'sa real 1 pet there. . I USed^tO be afraid he was . kind of dazed— but don't, you bother, , Bill, lie's all right, for he takes to play- 1 ing now. He's oaly quiet on account of | his natural sweetness— all real good chit- 1 I dren's that Way - anil 1 I' ve him. just as ; I If he was my own baby." : ' On the next trip up the North Bivc, ' Bill Forster pondered a grea' deal over the child. The feci Is. the child, whether I he was awake or asleep, was never for s F moment out of Bill's mind. lie had never thought mncli m^put anything beI I fore, and it was hard work for him to i i think at ail. Maybe liecauae for mora " I than one-half of life his brain had born • ' muddied by liquor he had never art U

! working. As" the empty sloop floated j up the broad river, slowly moving with io ( "i" tide. Bill sat in Ibe shade of the flapping jib and argued with himself, j aml the; general conclusions he arrived j at were by no meau* flattering to him. k i sc,,: n j "Tlie beginning and the ending of this 0 j here is rum. I've walstwl nigli aa to B5 u years of my life. Why hasn't tlie boom. ^ | or that mainsail knocked the stupid ■t 'irflin' oul of 'nr boforo this? What T have 1 got to show for 40 years of life ?

It mu-t be stated that there really was , nh necessity for Bill's excited words, for | the hands on the sfciop secmril to take in i the situation at once, and rather respect. , ed tlie way Bill assumed his self imposed ; duties. i Down the river Bill was (tanking whai , name the child ought to hnriN, Should i it he George Washington, THyiuw I Irani Moses ? Ho knew all the names of thy steamboats going np to Albany, and to call tlie child "Albany" or "Viboanl" Ids mind that Molly should have the ' naming of the child. "She's got most J rights to him. antral." Then he felt . j kind of melancholy with the idea thai j somebody might come later and claim | the child. Bill had never read a story i book in Ids life, so' no romance of a rich , | and mother coming in a carriage j lo demand their lost baby presented it- ( '•elf lo his imagination, i iliil became pamimonlou*. aud that r | week* saved almost every ccn' of his { 1 He begrudged himself of even : Ihe lolwoco lie chewed. He oniy kepi . mflleieut m ncv for his most meager j wants. He never took a drink and dc- ( 1 e'.ined being treated. To Molly he gave | I money. Sure enough, the little boy. «b< u , I Bill next saw bim, had o.i a m w ! frock, and with what pride Molly exldb- ; tied hitu to Mr brother; & "He just looks like a daisy, Molly. 'n't he pretty? Kind of slrepv. ain't Molly ?" "He doe* sleep a great deal, but hat's , natural, iii'l. Much you know about | babies! But. Bill, what's this pile ol , moDcyfor? I aim spent all you gav. mu yet.

"But, Moll, just hold hard a minute. ' Ho mayn't want it now. Sitppoain' work was slack and I didn't earn nothing. ■ Yon have got to keep the cash for the lime ; the. boy grows. He's got to go to school, and has got to look as neat a* any other boy. He's to be heddlcated— know ' something more nor handling brirk*. Don't he do a lot of sleeping.

' Maybe he's one of them children wlist talks late in life, and they, so I hear tell, I is always the smartest in the long ruo. ; Fact is, Bill, I have a surprise for you. ' | He never said a word before yestenUvI was afraid myself he was kind of 1 dumb." Bill averted liis face and then ' Took d out on the water, for the brother ' ( and sister were talking on the dock. ■ "But— but, today, Bill, he said 'mod- ' , d- F so' sweet, and then be said it over and over again, and held out his pretty little mouth to be kissed. O. BUI. ids 1 senses is coming back to bim, slow, but ' sure." and Maliy cuddled tlie sleeping ' child closer to her breast. ' Bill kept right on in the good way he hid planned for himself, and never swerved a hair's breadth. Molly was 1 his saving* bank. Brotlier ami sister . " contributed to the child's support. In a 1 month Bill was richer than he had ever 1 t been in his life. Then he insisted that

<1 Molly should rpnt a belter room. Tbo b one shvltveif in. lie said, looked tint or. c a clingy, dreary back yard. "Stand* to Season;" said Bill, "that bat#- aROiijd d nee horses and trucks ami thing- a in -v. ing shout in the streets. It makes 'em lively." s "Little Bill"— scftbey called 'Molly '> insisting that her brother's name should o. serve for tlie "child} —improved, but too I slowly fur big Bill. The Police Surgeon t was called in. Bill Forster insisting on ' paying him a fee. The opinion tlie doc- , 1 tor gave was a guarded one. "There i» , - manifest Improvement— nm, perhaps, as - rapid ss I shonlri wish. Yon are acapi- ( • kindness and attrntloii will help the , ■ child. He will come round. 1 believe." " The cool weatlirt came, and with low- , • cring temperature the doctor hoped the . • child woYild gain strength. Tlie cicatrice | - on tlie head had quite healed.
