Tim scraped and wiped his fact,
stood his shovel in the corner of the

in coal. Besides his Wages she had

she felt rather amused.
Bridget gave him a somewhat un

rather serious about it, and wished

TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, 'PA., THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 29. 1877.
Bridget very unwillingly opened
the closet dOor. The idea of giving,
china :dishes, to a beggar I Shn
grudged everything that,could go to
" cousin."
Miss May picked out two cups
and iincers, two bowies, and several
miscellaneous articles, including, a
block tin teapot, and two or three
dilapidated tin pails.
"0; Miss May`;; Why, we'll feel
as grand asv. kings 1" and the eyes
were lustrous with gratitude.
"here's a basket to pack then, in.
Bridget, give him a little tea and su
gar, and some of the cold-meat left
yesterday.,l'll run up stairs and
find some cothes." •
- She came back Wen. Tim's' face
glowed to its - utmost capacity, which
was large, as he Jiad been out in the
cold all the morning.
" There, I havn't any table, but all
these will help.
.You are sure your
partner, as you call him, is a trusty
fellow ?"
"He's good as gold, though he
ltain't no legs worth speakin' of. He
used to sell papers on the cars, but
he stumbled one day and had one cut
off and the other hurt. His father
used to keep'him 'round begin', but

And it'll be "havin' folks of one's
very own. I never• had any, you
see. Not that I'd %can't a father like
Jerry's. Poor little chap, he's had
rO,!ilt times, what with the beatin'
and the Qarvin'." •
:11i . ss May winked a tear out of her
blue eyes. Mow ready these street
- Arabs,were to stand by one another !
Would anybody : in her "set " take in
a poor brother unhesitatingly ?
Tim was grateful from the very
depths of his A'9lll, and it was no
mean one. He bundled the artieleS
in a great pack, and shouldered them,
chairs and all,' and drew his sleeve
across his eyes, while • his • good-bye
had a ver7 husky sound.
If Miss Mat ...could have - heard the
rejoicing!
And yet it was.a miserable little
room, up three flights of stairs, with
only one window looking - into u rear
house: Their bedstead had been
Itii l de of dry goods boxes, and when
they covered it with her clean chintz
and comfortable, and arr*ed their
closet shelves with the dishes, leaving
door open so they could feast
their 'eyes on their nor possessions,
they could not resist, giving three
cheers ; and Tim was actually coaxed
into dancing -a break4lown„ while
Jerry clapped " Finneaan's Wake"
with his thin hands on the one good
knee he had lett. It was a blustering
March day,. but they two had a de
liv,htrully Warm room and a IC:I , A.
What ;unused them most of all was
beautiful Miss May's idea that Tim

their in u! , 11 hml ended, " I don't know

cried. " You shame richer and wiser

his forelock and coloring through the
tan and grim. " Why, Miss lay,
he's a sight of 'help and comfort to

"Tim," she said, opening - her dain

you to take ti;is, 4nd spend it just as
I tell you. !You and Jerry must go

plenty of them presently. Get a good
dinner, and take all the delight you
eau, and remember to tell ine all
about it afterward."
"0, Miss May, you are too good
for anybody's folks. tell
you every word. And can 1 • conic

do chores?"
" Yes, indeed, I shall be glad to

shall think of you often."
"I never saw an :ingel 'cept the
pidtures with wings, but ,1 know Miss
May is- one," said rim - to himself. -
Tim and his partner counted their
money that night. Business had bee'
flourishing of late:'
"There's twenty-one dollars that
we've saved up free and clear, and
ttu~ lady's five. Tim, you had better
put it in the bank," and Jerry's eyes
sparkled feverkhly. - • ,
have to -bide the bank book
then," and Tim chuckled. "'Think of

"To be sure I will—to-morrow.
And we'll hide the

chink in the floor. No one would
think of looking there. And we'll
have a rousing time on some excur

band, and have a little dance in one
corner by ourselves. There isn't the
beat of Mi3s May in the whole world."
" She's r good, but then she's rich,
you know: Five dollars doesn't look
so large to her as it does to.you and
me. But, Tim, I love you better than
a hundred Miss' Mays." 1,
Tim chuckled and winked'; hard
but said never a word:
• ~Ife was off' early in the morning,
as be had an important job onhand.
Jerry would have 7,. dinner' ready, at
noon, and would pht on his
" store clothes" and go down to the
bank - like any other swell. My eyes!
Weren't they in clover ?
Tim could not get' home ''until
three, but ha had earned two.dollars
since morning. They had each a key
to the door, and finding it locked,
Tim drew out his. Jerry had gone to
business; afternoons were his times.
There Was no dinner set. pqt on the
table and covered with a napkin. A
curious chill of something like neg
lect went to 'Tim's warm heart ; but
le whistled it away, and found a bit
of cold meat and some oatmeal.
Then he :decided he would run over
on Broadway and tell Jerry of his
good luck. It was too late to think
of going to.the bank.
No little chap sat on the well
known corner. Tim walked up a
block, down again, and studied the
cross streets sharply. Had he sold
out and gone home ? Or maybe he
had taken the money to the bank.
Tim ran home again. Yes, that was
it—the money . was gone
lie waited and waited. Somehow
feel :a did not bit jolly ' • but he
boiled the. kettle and laid the sapper.
No Jerry yet. What had become of
him? Had he put on his best suit?
They had Blade a clothes-press out
of a (fry goods box, and Tim- went
to inspect it. Why! Jerry's shelf
was entirely empty—shirts,stockings;
yes, everythitig, even to iris old,
every-day suit, gone. Tim dropped
en the'lloor, and hid his l'ace in his
bands. Had Jerzy— •, -
It was funny, butr Tim s'etuared off
and gave the box a."' thump that
bruised his knuelacs. It seemed
_,to,
him that the bOXhad breathed a sup'
picion. that Jerry had stolen the
money and run - away. Then he kicked
it, •and sat down and cried as if his
heart would break. Ills partner, lit
tle Jerry, a thief!. No, he would
never, never believe it.
He. sat up tilt . midnight, and it
seemed to him there had never been
such loneliness since the world began.
Then the next morning be made some
inquiries. Their - two nearest 4xeig,h
bars were washerwothen.' , ' Both had

the last ofJune. Or if there had
been any evil companions hanging
vround; but Jerry and every scrap
of his belongings, a.,ti well as - the
money, had surely disappeared.
There was no gay excursion for
Tim. Ile brooded over his desertion,
and grew moro ,- ,e, began to save his
money- again, and shut himself ,up
lke a herthit. The poor; crippled boy
be had taken to his heart,. that he

" Yes. hurry, Tim, I've waited•so

They walked down the stairs, scud

short walk brought them to a decent
looking tenement house. Up one
eight of stairs, and the door opened.
" is it Tim?" :NW a weak voice
Tim threw himSelfTon his knees by
the bedside, and kiSsed the sweet,

were heard.
" You told him, Miss May ?"
"so, Jerry. We hurried so ; there
was no chance. But I will tell him
every Word?"
" 0, Tim,; you didn't think I was a

The next morning lie walked in with
a paper, which he said was a warrant
for me, and that if I dared' to say a
word he'd send me to the Refuge. I
picked up my things—l was so afraid
of him—and then he wanted the
money-, and swore'if I didn't get it
he'd murder me. I told him I would

"0, - Jerry, dear, don't talk ; it

down.
"Just a little. I couldn't get back

Closer hung the thin arms, and the
cool eheek.Was pressed against Tim's,
hot with burning tears. The little
hands that had kept their house tidy,
and prepared the simple. meals, lay
limp and useless. The little waif Jerry
,had ,one over the river. •

11.3.RVE.LLOUS RICHES OF TEE SAN

A reporter of the La Plata
recently visited the Ajax lode, Sul
fain. for the purpose of inspecting a
reported big, strike. That the repor
ter was pleased is evident from the
folloWing : A ! -, rander sight in the
shape of a body of rich mineral
never saw; and those who have had
long experience and extensive oh..er
vation in the richest ''silver mining
diqriets on the continent pronounce
the display of rich mineral equal to
anything they ever saw. The drifts
in which the rich mineral is found ex
tend from the bottom of the shaft in
either direction.. In the west Wirt'
is found 'the rich pare gray copper,
while in the easedrift is found a. two
foot streak of coarse galena, carry
ing gray copper. The mineral in the
gray copper streak will run from 500
to 1,000 ounces in silver to the ton,
and two-men can take out a ton ev
ery ten hours. This is really a strike
that should cause every well wisher
of the camp to rejoice, especially
it positively proves the richness of
One mine upon a mountain where
there are over fifty well defined leads
and at present nine tunnels-are being
run to strike many of the most int
poytant leads, at dep.dis varyin , froth

elopinent progressed, ' While this
find secures to 11. L. Rogers, the for
tunate owner of the mine, a compet
ency, it also assures mines of rich
mineral that will build up and sus

by a business second to that of no

for y rods of the mill are six tunas

'a every reason for believing will

manner in which work upon On;
