THE EUNAWAY.
Halloa ! That you Dick ? Where are
you going ?
A rather pale, slightly tuilt youth of fif
teen years, with a carpet bag in his hand,
looked up nervously and walked on. It was
in the vioiuity of t!io dapot, and thero was
much trundling of tracks and ppitting of
engines, and consequently Satn Jones pre
sumed that his salutation had been unheard.
About noon ou the sumo day, Amos
Iluyland, , savin tered forth from Iiis
office to attend to n little business in another
part of the town. The boys were just com
ing from school, and stared at him and
whispered ninon themselves. Finally, Ely
Darby stepped up and exclaimed :
'Mr. Air. can't think of ytur name,
sir but Dick has ruu away.'
'What !
'lie has gone to Xew York, every stitch
of him, mid is ucxer coming back. lie e aid
I might, fell you after twelve, o'clock, for
he would be too far off for you to catch
him then.'
The father stood still with his eyes riv
eted ou the speaker, for a tnomeut, aud then
tun.ed ou hia heel, and in five minutes was
in the library of his own bouse.
'Amy,' iie called to his wife, 'do you

'Ifo has ujt relumed from school yet.

'Did be fn to school this, morning V

There were red eyes a.id sad hearts in

And when the question brought a shower
of tears instead of an answer, she continu
ed:
'I hope God never will tnke mo there
when I die.'
Meanwhile the traveler bad parsed a long
miserable day. At Cr.st he congratulated
himself uprn bis successful ct-eape. Jle
bal marched boldly down the front street,
and not a soul except his cousin Sam Jones
bid taken the slightest notice (if hiai. lie
was gliid to get oi' so easy, but a little cha
grined, after all, at his owu insiguifisance.
Fuirly outside the pale of parental jurisdic
tion, aud whizzing ou to his destiny, bis
heart grew tender and be not only stood up
to give a little girl bis seat, but bestowed
the apple he bad crammed in bis po'Jcet
for lunch oa a big baby who was crying
lustily.
As tho hours wained, bis spirits sank,
and, according to nature, he commenced a
recapitulation of tho wrongs aud injustices
of which be bud been tho viciiiu. lie did
not s:e why Alfred and Philo need be so
much better looking than himself. Every,
bedy called tbeiu handsome, while be bad
been often told that he was as homely as a
hedge fence. They were genteel aud elegant
and objects ct admiration to his parents and
frends. It wasn't fuir. To be sure he was
the genius in the family; but v. hat of that?
It ouly compelled hint to go to school, while
Alfred was making money,' und gcttiug a
good start in the world. Ho dii uct like bis
fathers cynical manner when be complained
of his teacher, fouud breukers io big Alge
bra, anathematized chctuietry, acJ declared
Latin a boar. And then when bo asked
him if he might go into business he
eaid :
'What I Uoforo you gat your bibs off ! I
don't thiuk that is your forte. You are not
careful enough about your dollars and cents.
We shall have to make you up into a p ro
fessionul man. It takes Alfred to do the
financiering. '
Dick felt as if ho had been swallowing
fire-brands, and opening the car window
A cat was tuning on the fence down beside
the track, and ho wished he was out where
be could step on her tail. How bis mother
laughed when he told her that be iuent to
be as rich as A. T. Stewart and live in Xew
York when he got to bo a man.
Dut it was bis dc&B old grandmother who
had committed the unpardenable sin. She
had been for weeks all tho time asking why
Dick had grown so moody and taciturn.
And that bud put it into 1'hilo's head to
call bi:n stupiund ill-natured. Dick pulled
ofl his soft bat aud threw it down upon the
seat violently, then placed it upon bis head
He did not like these pricking memories.
lie would show the folks at home and every
where else that he was able to take care ef
himself ; and when be had earned five bun-
dren dollars no, when bo had five thou
sand dollars aud a horse and carrieg'j five
million would be better, or five hundred
millions, and a bouse on Fifth avenue, with
a French roof, and a train of railroad cars
stopping at the front door every timo its
master feels inclined to take a short walk.
Of course the kind-hearted conductor
was oblivious to all -these extraordinary air
castles ; and when the conductor came along
in tho regular discharge of bis duty, be saw
only a very commou place boy, watched out
on a Beat all alone, and fast asleep. Having
nctleed him iu the earlier part of the morn-
in;:, and remembering his destination, be
did not waken him. And so, many thanks
to bitn, Dick got a tolerable night's rest.
As be neared the end of his journey, bis
mind was crowded with plans. He knew but
one person in the metropolis, a partner iu
the baking powder business, whose addres
he bad secured, and to hiiu ho resolved to
apply for work. lie would let himself very
cheap to begin with, so as to rise more sure
ly, lie wnuld take two hundred dollars a
mouth, unless they urged more upon bim.

He would keep a tli.irp lookout for Dick
though, aud be must come iu every day und
repoit progress.
Dick fouud a cheap lodging bouso in
the lower pait of the city, where be Etaid
one nibt. The uest morning be visited ail
tho tating-buuses and compared prices.
Theu ho counted his money to see just bow
long it would lapt, for he had by uo means
a heavy purse Mr. JJonil'ace offered bim a
cjit iu the upper part of his store when be
made a second cull upon that genllaman,
and it was gladly iiccepted. Dut no situa
tion had been seen going round looking for
a boy, aud Dick determined to start out and
find oue.
Very few business houses on the princi
pal streets south of City Hall that were not
vitiitc.1 by a modest, well-dressed, iutnlli-gent-lookiug
boy. during the uest five days.
Sometimes be was treated civilly, but was
ofieucr abruptly and sharply dismissed.
What time hud busy men to give such
young fortune huuters ?
Iiis heart was very heavy, but his cour
age was like the widows oil. liio only
thing that give him positive anxiety was
the stite of bis finances. He never knew
before how much it 'cost a feller' to get
enough to eat. He must take somo desided
stand in that regard or he should be bank
rupt sure. So ho limited himself to twenty
five cents a meal, and firmly resisted all fur
ther temptation to bis boyish appetite.
Dut the wisest aud most sensible thing
he did was to buy a return-ticket home, be
fore be should by any chance spend all bis
niouey. Not that he intended to use it,
though he felt as if be would givo bis right
hand for one -of his mother's good breakfas
and be had many a tired longing for bis
own comfortable room with the spring bed
and rocking-chair in it.
He had promised to write to Ely Darby,
who was going to run away as feoou as he
got the letter. In a bookstore iu Nassau
street he got a pen and ink and fulfilled the
task. Dut ho very confidentially informed
his friend that it 'didn't py,' and advised
him to e'ay where he was.
The second week passed very much like
the fust. He was industrious in his cf
forts to cct something to do. He drew
some heavy sighs, but nobody heard tbWu
He wondered why his father had taken no
pains to find out his whereabouts,and finally
settled down iuto the belief that ho bud
hardly been missed. He had made him
self so disagrceableof late,pevhaps they were
glad to get rid ot him. His money would
hold out but a few days longer, and what
was he to do? He should feel pretty
cheap at going back without an invitation.
Ho wished his father would come and 'blow
him up' and 'thrash him' as some men
would, and then take him homo, and
wouldn't be stay there, though ?
He did not know that Mr. Boniface had
received several private communications,
and had been instructed to watch over the
runaway and see that no harm came to him.
while at the same time it was thought bctt
to allow him to follow the bent of his own
inclinations, even at the risk of a pretty
rough time.
One morning he stood in tho store door
cogitating, lie had come to the last twenty
five cents, and it was before bre-akiast, al
though it was ten o'clock. He was hun
gry. What, boy of fifteen ever saw the
time he was not ? Dut he did not like to
be absolutely penniless. Neither did be
quite like to make use of the tickets that
were scorching his pockets until he could
almost detect a blue smoke arisietr.
lie saw a gcnilemau coming towards him,
and recognized an uncle, hi father's broth
er, who lived iu the city.
'Ab, Dick ! that you ? How are you ?
Living here, ch ? Do you like New York V
Yes, sir, pretty well.'
Are you busy to-day ? Suppose you
!ome up aud take dinner with me and we
will taik over business matters a little.'
Dick's eyes filled with tears and his
heart leaped with joy. He should get one
good straight meal sure without losing his
self-respect. That was what his stomach
said. Perhaps his finer feelin' were
0 ..
touched by the unexpected nieeiiii"'. If
not, they were aroused to an exciting de-
ree by some remarks which followed.
Dy the way, Dick, I have had a letter
faom j oar father lately, and be has entrus
ted me with a littie roil of money for you,
which lie savs you mav us-e if vim M
lie thinks perhaps your ej-eii.,.-s here may
have eiiceailaJ vour calouiiuiens. and v.-.im
that jou fhuu'.d have a good lime.'
Dick sobbed outright.
'I don't deserve any such kindness, uncle
Dick," be said, alter a moment's pause. 'I
wu-h he had asked uo to come home. I
wonder if .'
'They waut to seo you there ? Of course
they do. Cheer up my boy. Ii you have
had enough of this Jittla toivn all you have
to do cow is to take tho back track uud
commence where you lefr off.'
Dick felt exceedingly comfortable when
he went to bed that night, tnd more sweet
ly thau in months before. He was iu the
guest-chamber of bis uncle, and it looked
so much like homo that he left the gas
burning to enjoy it. He waked before
daylight, and finding some pens and paper
ou the table, jumped up aud wrote the
lollowing letter :
'My Dear Father : I shall never be able
to tell you how ashamed I uui of myself, or
how much I thank you for your uumista
kabie token of confidence. I would rather
conic home and go tn school ihau stay any
where else if I could get foity situa
tions. Uuele Dick thinks I bad better
wait until Wednesday, aud then take the
train AVcst. My best love to mutber Mary
aud the boys.
lour affeciionate son, Dicti.'
Wbeu be called O b l Mv. Uouifaee
good-bye bo learned that cue of the gen
tlemen to whom he had applied a lew days
before, had left word that be bad a place
for him now, and would give bim ten dol
lars a week ioi his services.
'If I wrre a little older and my educa
tion complete, 1 wouldn't miud accepting,'
replied Dick, with a very mauly air; but I
shall do uotbiug without the advice of uiy
father hereafter, lie is so much better alio
to judge for mo thau 1 aut for myself.'
'Oh !' ta: J his little cot'-'u Dick (it was
a family jume)8s a nice lunjh was being
put up for his journey, 'won't you catch it
when jou get borne! Your lather will
look daggars at you and say, 'My dear sir
are you goiug to juo away an;. more? and
then ho wsll take joaup-stairs audac?-6?u-tclwck
you !'
Dut Dick only sailed and remarked that
1 he expected all the boys would be after
him, and he probably should never hear
tho la-it cf bis trip to New York.
It was near mid-day when he arrived in
Toujbpga.ny. His father met him at the
depot and greeted bim warmly.
'Hadn't we better take a carriage up?'
whispered Diok.
'No. I think we had better walk.'
They passed along through the crowd
out into the street, when Dick's courage
again faltered.
'Hadn't wo better go up to the house
tho buck way ?'
'No, my son, it is just as well to face the
music. The boys will have their fun any
wy, und if you are in the righf it won't
btrike very deep.'
'Halloa. Daking-Powders !' 'There's
Dick sneaking home !' 'Didn't make much
trying to get ahead of the old man !' and
similar expressions greeted him at evyy
etep, hut he walked with a firm step, and
only bowed to such of his friends as chose
to accosted him a respectable manner.
He wondered how it was that everyone
in the home household was so glad to see
him. His pretty mother looked as if she
had spent her whole life in weeping, and
when she straiued him to her heart and
muttered Words of thankfulness that he
had been restored to her once more, her
tears ran down his neck and nearly dissol

bim whenever sho could get a good hold
and pulled him from one place to another
in the wildest confusion. Philo rolled up
the easy chair for him to sit in and carried
bis bat into the ball and b.UDg it on the
rack. Alfred seized bim by the coat col
lar with his two bends and shook him till
he was half blind.
'How well you are lookingy, Major ! 1
guess I'll go to New York if it brightens
one up so."
Diek was in a whirl of happiness. Had,
everybody changed ; or, was it the Aim that
had fallen from his own eyes? He did
not make up his miud just then, but as
week3 roolcd ou he came to the conclusion
that he was woefully mistaken at that pe- -nod
io his history when he believed him
self counted out of the hearts of all those
he best loved, und parted with the green
eyed monster, who had nearly drifted hira
into ruin, with a great se nse of relief.
