TERRY.
Terry and Bob and Jin and the three
bab.en were piayinif ia the culm-pile be
hind the home.
On the back doorstep nat "5rain," not
rtiTii h cleaner than her children, and wet
inio the bargain, for she had beta work
ing hard aince morning to gft out a heavy
wjm1 fur the men iu the bnuniing hHcw
aiTTirs the way. The clothes were now
tianciD); to dry on the fen.-es, and Mam
was resting and watching the children,
well content that tbey should be thttem
ployed, sintie it kept her motherly heart
friraa.anxicty lest they m:ht stray into
the street, where heavy coal carts cim
etantly pame-i, or, worse, on to the tr.u k
jiit beyond the breaker. As for the dirt,
she gave it no thought. The el.rthes they
wore now thT kept on night and day
nntil worn oat. Once 2 week they got
their hands and facts wa.shed, "thouirh
"t:i'nt much use," ad Mam said, "for
they II clip right iDto the cuha aia,"
a id she never spoke trier in her life.
Mrs. Walsh was not far behind her neigh
bors in her icdiJereaee and cleaalineM,
but mvt of t'uetn exceeded her in oiit
wurl shows of irlliness; tiuit is, tx) lir

every SuikIij-. even ia the word weather,
a yxi'y iiuuiher of both men and women
trudged pi.nwly thither, the latterarrayd
winter and siimmerinred blanket shab
ati.l archaic velvet bonnets adorned with
I iilinir llowent. Hut Mrs. Walah, born
! a Trotestant, had married a Catholic who
j did nut consider reliirioa as a daily walk,
! but preferred taking flying heaps heaven
j ward by going to m;i.-i4 once a year. And
this lack of spiritnul gnrroandinas, t
I irether with her beinii much enaijed in
increasing, multiplying and replenishing
1 the earth, had so far succeeded in draw

came, for then they got their faces wash-

but to w.iat place, or tor wLat purpose, it

Mam owned a red blanket shawl and a
bonnet with jiggly flowers, and Terry,
who was eight years old. had secretly re
solved that when he grew to be a big
man and could work, his first money
1 devoted to purchasing these luxuries
for her. She had now nothing but a sun
bonnet, which she wore all day, in-doors
and out, and only took it off when she
went to bed.
After she bad once shut the youngsters
into the front room, which served as fam
ily bed-chBbor, ail alsm eofUidered
them as disposed of, and sat down to doze
or gossip endistnrbed before the kitchen
fire until Iad should return. On week
nights his incoming was uproarious, but
un Sunday nights, a befitting the sacred
time, he entered with solemn gayety and
slow, steering with curious certainty for
the door, which on other occasions was
apt to elude his aim turning the handle
and shutting himself in with circumspec
tion. At this point, all necessity for such
unusual care being over, he wjoid sur
render himself to the exigencies of the
situation and till in an unstudied atti
tude upon the kitchen floor, where he
nsually remained all night. From this
it might be judge,I that there Is such a
thing as drinking one's self sober. At
auy rate, Mr. Walsh's conduct was cer
tainly marked by more apparent sobriety
when he had had the whole day for im
bibing, than when he had had only a few
evening ho'.rs.
Terry was al iravs glai when Sundav
night came, for then he was not wakened 1
up by Dad's "noise." On other nights his j
faithful little heart would not permit him
to sleep, for Dad sometimes made it lively
for Main, and Terry was obliged to step
in an check bis wild exuberance of spirits
else Mam got no rest. The child exerted
a wonderful power over hi Cither; a
jiower born of utter fearlessness. Mr.
Walsh was so conscious of this influence,
even ia his wildest moods, that often, the
mere appearance in tle doorway of that
dauntless little figure would prove a
sutficient quietus. The demon in him

Phvsical force that poor Terry had to
,inell the demon and save his mother !
from a black eveorabroken head. With
i an alertness gained by long practice, the '
boy would make a'spring like a wild I
! heist, clutch hi father about the bo.!y,
i an,! .-'int. fh.-re like 'rim death thnadi- '
i verting attention fn.m the mother. To j
i free himself from this encumbrance the
1 madiimn would cast awav stool, teakettle, t
I or broomstick, which waa serving him as I
temporary wtapont.ofotlenire,anda hand-1
uvhand ennflict would ensue between I
him and his tiny tormentor, who never
once let go his grip untii victory was sure.
To-day was Monday, ami Dad had, as
nsnal, after his long heb.ioma.laI carouse.
ijone very late to work in the morning;
; consequently he was not expected home
very early in the afternoon. Still, it was
now getting tar past tne time wnen ne
should come, and Mam went occasionally
to the front gate to see if her "old man"
was not yet in sight. The water waa
ready in the tab and gettingtold, the po-
1 tatoes had boiled soft long ago, ac.l the
! children, whose stomachs were their

pieces that Dad ought to be on hand ; and
having come down from the pile, were
clamoring about the d.xr after the man
ner of all hungry animals. Although
Mam had never read Browning she
knew just as well as if she had that
"when body gets its aop" it ''holds it
noise," and accordingly resolved to dish
out their part of the supper without furth
er delay, and rid herself of them nui
sances. She waa just going about it when
1 confused and unwonted soun.ls at the

Steps there were, surely heavy steps
and a banging against the door. Could
Dad be coiuing home drunk at this unheard-of
hour? It went through her
niicd that this it wa that had kept him
so long. But never, even on Sunday
nights, did become in at the frontdoor.
Meanwhile the children, hearing some
thing, had ran around the side of the
house, and now Terry came rushing back
pale through hia gruniness, crying. "It

under their burden as .hey brought it in
and laid itnpootwo cla-.irs which they
ruotionel Mr Walsh to place. Then
uncovered their hea.U, and stoo.1 in si
lence. Now only did the poor woman realia
what had happened. !he stared wildiy
At the men. at the crowd nt neiu-hhora al-
rea.ly gathered in sympathetic cnriiwity ,
at the open door, then tearing herself
loose from the children, who clung be
wildered to her skirts, cast herself shriek
ing upon her husband's stiiTened body.
Bob and Jin set np a cry, in which the
babies joined, none of them knowing ex
actly what they were crying for, but
Terry knelt by his mother side, though
he did not cry out as the others did ; he
felt eboted witn tne shock and strange- i
nes. .Mr. Walsh was the victim of that f
ver7 common accident, a fail of coal iu
the? mines, which hod broken hia neck. I
He was thiis mercifully span.vi the linger- i
ing torments which so often foilowsueh
i disasters.
j That night, thanks to the friendly offi- j
ciotisnese of neighlxirs. the reina-ns were
iaid out li.vntiy in the kitchen, with can-
dies at the head and feet. Mrs. Walsh,
being a Protestant, would not have a
wake, but consented to candies. It was a
memorable night for Terry. Hj went to

like that ghoetly first dawned of which
hunters tells us. He had no thought of
death. What it was he did not know,
but It was something. It had no name
for him, bat itexisted. Often before had
he seen men brought home like Dad, and
worse, too, all bleeding and mangled.
They were carried off in boxes and never
came buck, and their friends cried, and
it was said that these men were dead ;
but unl.il now Trry had not gone one
single step beyond, to wonder or to ask
what it meant to be dead. His life had
been as purely an animal one as the pos
session of a naturally tine mind would
aiw-.. xc.Ae Oeyoj- iU brother
and sister, or even beyond his mother,
in considering the condition of the fami
ly, it was from a material standpoint alone
that he viewed it. To cat, drink, sleep,
and play was life to htm. -Sj far, Soul
had not wanted anything, and conse
quently knew not of her own being. But
to-day Soul had suddenly seen something
that B-xly could not see.
- The "bright angel'' hovering over that
stilfened black form bad in some way
managed to reveal it presence, if not it
self, and Terry's soul had mutely replied
to that mute beckoning. As he lay in
the dark, with his arms around his moth
er, hearing only the low voices of the
watchers in the next room, knowing that
Dad's body lay there too, he yet felt as if
part of Pad weie here in thin rxm. He
was not frightened to think of it as pres
ent, yet not seen. Ia childish, uncon
nected fashion he thought over his littie
pust.. There wasn't much to think of,
but what there was he turned over and
over again. There were many things he
couldn't understand, things that had
never troubled him before. What was it
all about, anyway ? Why did people work
and eat. and sleep an.', eat. and work
again? Did they haveV) do it? Couldn't
they stop doing it if they wanted to?
Dad had stopped now did he wact to
stop? Why was part of him in here, and
part of him in there? t For Terry, having
once settled the ijtulity of iaL never
questioned it again.) The part in the
kitchen couldn't do anything ; could the
part in here do anything? With a dash !

anything-. The new thought was too be-
iMering. The child sat np in his ex-j
citwnenr, and fr the first time in his lite
he leit none. j
Did Mara know anything about this j
He w mid wake her np and ask her. Eat
then came an insf irutivo feelinir that '
Mam didn't know. Bob and Jin didn't
know, either. Thev hanilv were sorrv
that Dad was dead. Terr was sorrv.
Dad was always good to htm, and would i
alway stop hollering and hitting Main !
when he told him to. Dad was reallv I
good ; not the part that hit and hollered, I
but the other pHrt. Did evervh.alv have
two parts? Yes, it must be ; Dad couldn't
he the onlv one who had. What was the
other part like ? Terry s brain, thus sud-
denlv roused to such novel and abnor-
mal activity, pictured the whole popular
tion of Biack Diamond in procs-srrion, !
each one furnished with a "part" that
you couldn't see, but was there ait the
same. These spectre stal ked back and
forth before his mind's eye until he
thought he sh ould scream a Mam did
to-lay, but he restrained himself lest he
should wake the sleeping ones.
Presently his thonghts took a more
practical turn. He must go to work now.
He eonfd pick slate and earn some mon
ey ; cot enough, though, to save Mam
from washing. Bob might work, too, but
be was afraid Bob couldn't Bob was of
ten sick ; that is, he was nearly a'wavs
sick when Mam wanted to send him down
to the store. Terry sometimes wassickitoo.
When he hadn't had quite enough to eat
he felt sick, but he guessed he never waa
so eick a Bob, because be coal J aiwiys
go, and Bob couldn't Bob could play
when he waa ick ; playing wasn't so
hard. It would be hard for Terry to give
np playing and work 'ail day. Bob and
Jin would miss him. He thought, with
a pang, of the delightful culm pile. But
Dutv bad spoken, and hia heart respond
ed, " Here am I." Having firmly taken
this resolve, be felt better and went to
sleep.
The neit two day brought a medley
of new sensations. The neighbor coin

there any more ail these thieg were to
one, at least, of the Walsh fUuiily as a
dream, but a dream in which, though he
did not know it, there was more reality
than in ail (he life that had gone before,
Terry was a niaa now. Something wa
repaired of him, and he felt an inward
strength which was erjaal to the ieiaire-
menL.
The morning after the funeral, Mrs.
Walsh went to her washing again, and
Bob aa-l Jia sought the cnliu. unaiimlfu!
i of anything aTry in this world ; but Ter-
I ry hung about the lii. hen, for he wi-hed
to Ulk husinesB with his m.)ther. and
was try.ng to ct un o
itrage enongh to
j open the subject
It was hard to begin.
He had sever
sutTered before from seif-conscioo.-ce.s.i
that troublesome gi.t of a newiy-awiken-ed
soul but no he si-em.sl to be ;a his
own way. He certainly was in his moth
er way, for after staaiblin?; over him
several times she asked, a littie sharply,
why he didn't go and vl.iv.
" I ain't a goin' to play no more." said
Terry, bravely waiting np to the guns at
once ; " I'm a g)ic' to work to pi.-k slate
and get some money fix you, now Dad's
gone and I'm a-gin' down to the hoes
right away, and see ifthere ain't no place
forme."
Having delivered himself of this pce. h
Terry further demonstrated his jes la-
tion by walking out of the house toward
j the breaker, leaving his mother in
I amazement and tears.
As a result of his conferere with the ;
.it. L. - . i. . . ;
boss be wa immediately given a pla- e ;
among the siate pickers. !
The boss wa greatly impressed by tl e
dignity of character displayed by Terry
on thi occasion. " Ye niver seen sich a
b'y as Terry Walsh," said he afterward ; '
" he come up to me in the oifiee as bold i
as ye plaze, the snip, and savs he, 'Mis- ;
ther, I wants a place to pick siate have '
yees one for me T An' I says, to try him '
like: ' 3V, there ain't none." Aa' he steps '
a bit nearer, an' says he: " I beerd say'
as how Benny Hanks is too growed up
now to pick slate; he' a-g")in to drive ;
mules; can't yees put me in his place?
Aa' I locked at him hard, an' them big i

of forty cent? aday for his work. This i
amount, added to his WA-h-money. kept :
the family in about the same condition !
as when Mr. Walsh was alive, since but a
small part of that worthy mac's earning !
ever found its way into his wife's hands. !
Terry was verry happy in h.s new rs;si- i
tion. Every day he felt bigger an ! more
important; but the work t..d him. Ac-
customed to run about freely fmai morn
ing till night, the continued sittirg j
cramped him, and the ever-sliding m iss ,
of coal into which he must reach to pick i
out the chunks of slau; often made him
dizzy ; bAides, the rough and cruet
boys w th whom he was cs-cciated
ma le his life miserable at tint 's. B it he ;
had much to think aijooT, and he thought j
with the incessaiicy of children who have i
no one of whom they can k questions. ,
He pondered much over what he had I
seen in the church. Bob and Jin ha I !
been delighted wiuh the imgies, orna- j
meats and bright colors. Terry had n
ti'-ed tiiese witii awe and administration,
but what had struck him chiefly, ami
what no remained with him. were the ,
actions and gestures of priest and peole.

scarcely dare.1 think it was the other
part of Da I there, and were they talking
and bowing to it? He ached to ask some-

tell him if he could only ask'. He felt'
1't we that Mam knew notr.mg at ad ,
aDont it. and eutiallv sure mat tie never '
could tell her his thoughts. Sometimes j
he was almost on the verge f scepticism,
if one may be a sceptic without a system
of doctrienes to doubt hat had made
him think about Dad? There was no
-"" thing. At n,Th times be was very
unhappy, though he couldn't have told
why.
One .lay, shortly after beginning work
at the breaker, a big hoy threw a large
piece of coal at him whk h struck bis leg
and caused a bruise. Terry did not teii
of this at home for fear his mother should
forbid hi going any more to pick slate.
Weeks passed ami it did not heal, but
grew more sore, and hart him so some j
day he could hardly drag himself to
work, thongh he always ran until out of j
sight of the house. One morning he i
could not get up. He had lain awake all j
night, his head feeling as hot as the cn- j
gine rooro, and hi mouth tasting worse'
than the mine smelt The three babies j
slept with Mau now, so he bad only ',
Bob and Jin ia bed with him, but since j
there had been more room, B-.h had i

he had taken much more than usual, and
kicked very hard. Several time he had I
kicki Terry' sore leg so that he could I
hardly keep from screaming out After

although he couldn't exactly see the con

what he had thought about Dad.
He also spent many hours in the mat
ron's room quietly looking at pictnre
books. or, if she were at leisure to listen
and r piy, questioning her; for at length
he had found somebody to whom he
could unb.js.iiu himself. Upon entering
the room for the first time, he h id lieer
struck by a picture of the Mad .una an
Child. It was Holbein's gracious leen
of Heaven, holding the siuk infant. It

isiiing so much. The third nieseag"
was for the bose. asking hiiu to give
Fob his Terry's place in the broker.
Having thus settled his worldly a.'faira,
he awaited cheerfully the hour of doom.
Although Terry did not die under the
operat.on. he never rallied from it. As
n as the effects of the chloroform pass
