JACK AND TOM. r
When Mrs. Hudson's little baby was born
nll the neighbors were very sorry for, herr
left in.that cold and cruel way, with a child
to bring up !
But Mrs. Hudson, a , fine-looking young
woman of six.and-twenty years, was, like the
rest of..them, able „to take care of berself.
She had a relative "or two in a distant State,
and she was known as reliable and honest.
The letters she wrote brought her certain
10ans, with which she started a small
.shop,
for millinery and trimmings.
She had good taste in the opinion of the
neighborhood, and when she sold the ribbon
and Sowers tar a bonnet she trimmed it for
nothing. Whp she sold a dress she gave
in apattern t& make it by. These things
cost her nothing but time, and she' was in.
clastrions. They diew custom.
In time the store was enlarged,. all the
loans were paid, little Tom was kept at
school as well dressed as any child there,
and Mrs. Hudson went to church of a• Sun
day M a black silk dress that rustled with
richness. No one ended her her good for
tune, especially as it did not' make her
proud. ..
She bad a tamper but, she bad too much
policy to offend her , customers.
lyks, she tad a temper. • That was what
sent Jack away ; she• had boxed his ears.
He luid a habit of chewing tobacco, and had
spit upon her clean :scoured hearth, and
there bad been a quarrel, and the blow fell.
"I never lifted my hand against you, Sal.
ly," said Jack. " But this rn say, ru bear
no more. You'll never see me again."
Ho had walked out of the house unll bad
shipped on a vessel bound for China.
Sally hadbelieved he only meant to fright
en her and would come back.; Six months
afterward their baby came into the world,
but Jack bad never been heard of since.
She cried over it still in secret, for . ahe had
been very niucli in love with, Jack and had
thought him very fon;I of her. And film was
proud of Tom, and fonder of 'him fOr look
ing like his father. She scolded him when
he needed -scolding, but his home wits hap
py for all that. Only when he grew old
enough to leave school did any serious con
flict of opinion take place between the boy
and his mother. It was on—a 'Saturday
night, after the shutkeis were put up that it
began.
"The business is so big now, Tom," said
Mrs. Hudson, " that it will take us lxhh.
teach you all about it at once, and when
you are twenty.one rll take
_you regularly
isto.,partnership. It will be yours after me
and I've no doubt," said the mother, with a
forecast' ofof maternal jealousy in her eye,
" that some day your wife'wit be behind the
eagh desk-.hero."
Tam,,! who was dutifully casting up his
mOtlier's weekly accounts for -
her, laid'down
his petrand looked her.
"It's no use talkihg that way, mother,"
he said.. "The shop Will be yours, and not
mine, to the end. I won't keep it. I don't
mean to stand behind a counter. I don't
call that man's work."
My goodness, Tom, what notions have
you got into your head?" cried Mrs. Hull.
, "Man's wort; indeed!
. : Why 4 there's
more men than women in stores ; aid you
can bo cashier and buyer,
.and take Stock,
and all that. Lizzie, the girl .helps Me now ;
and I could ;let o regular salesman or sales
,woman." .
"Mother," said Tom, "I won't go into
business of this sort at all. I shall go to sea
and get to be a captain in time, I hope.
What I'd like is the navy, it 'I had a chance;
but anyhow the sea." 1.
• • "You couldn't be anything but a common
sailor, Toin," said the poor woman. "Think
of your education."
"Such as it is, I . do," said Toni; "and
very thankful I am . for it,lbnt a sailor's life
is the life for me. No ship . is.; I know it."
"It's a store; • it's a go6d business. I've
Made it what it is," cried Mrs. 'Mudson,
"and you despise it." -
" I don't. You're thei smartest womanl
know, mother," said Tom ; "but I won't
keep shop;--or store. I won't sell bonnets.
' It's absurd to think of itj" .
=I
"golf of it is dry goodit. sobbed Mrs.
Hudson. -1
• But the trouble had begun. It went with
her to church on Sunday, after_keeping her
wide awake all night. Arguments began.
The mother at last no longer implored; she
asserted her authority. Tom was not of age
and at last Tom was not so respectful es he
should have been, and there was a regular
quarrel, and Mrs.: Hudson boxed her son's
The next morning she went down to her

Own-was in the sky,- but a shutter had been
left open; "very carelessly: l as she said to
herself, and by the light - thatlell through it
she saw a letter lying on the,thble.
She took it up. It had no postmark ; but
it was formally addressed to 'her—to Mrs.
Sarah Hudson.
"If it should be Jack come back anus
au," she thought and tore it open. Within,
on a sheet of paper were these words :
" Mother; Pm - off. I won't have my ears
boxed ; I won't be treated like a child. I
shall ship at once. Home` has grown too
hot to hold me ti Tom.

The poor woman hinted, giddy and stag

- She had lived for Toni. Ho was her idcd.
Her fixed idea of having him in the Imainsea

day. A gentleman who had no umbrella,
and who had just come into. town on a local
train, perceived bktfore him, as he stepped
into the street, a pritson whom he took to
be an acquirintance !Ind who , had a fine new
umbrella hoisted over his head. Running
up to him, therefore, he clapped him on the
shoulder, saying as he did so, by way of a
joke. .
"I'll take that umbrella, if you please."
The individual thus addressed looked
around and discovered a perfect stranger,
but before the other could apologize he said
hurriedly.
"Oh, it's yours, is it? Well, Idid l let know
that. Here, you can have it," and broke
