By ELIZABETH WEED
Little Tim Cosgrove was a newspa
per boy. Tim had a very indistinct
memory of his antecedents—a vague
picture of n comfortable homo with f
woman who cured for him, putting
him to bed, dressing and undressing
him and now and again lulling him to
sleep in her arms. But by the time he
was ten years old all remembranco of
her features had passed away from
him, and there was no well dcOned link
beWveen that period and his selling pa
pers whereby to make a living.
One day when the weather was hot
Tim succumbed to the heat and fell
on tho sidewalk. There be lay, his
newspapers scattered about him. till
a policeman came along and, calling
for an ambulance, sent him to a chil
dren's hospital. Tim came out of his
collapse and one day was put on a
steamer with a lot of other Invalid
children and sent off on the water.
Beside him on the boat sat a little
girl about his own age who fell to talk
ing with him. Like Tim, she could
remember a pleasant home, and more
distinctly. She could recall an old
fashioned house, with four pillars be
fore it in the center of beautiful
grounds. One thing was indelibly
stamped on her mind—her father be
ing carried out to a cemetery. She did
not know the reason why, but she and
her mother left the big Louse, and then
her mother was carried to a cemetery
too. Later transitions came so rapid
ly that she could not remember theiu
all, buc her clothes were wearing out.
and she did not get new ones. She

was often hungry and did not have
pennies to spend for candy. Sbe was
now living at an orphan asylum, but
sbe loused (o Ret away from it, for
she was kept shut In most of the time,
she said, and sbe pined for freedom.
Presently the boat landed at an is
land. and the children were put ashore
and permitted to wander in a wood,
or, better still, on the shore. At noou
a luncheon was served on tables un
der the trees. Tim and his new found
friend—Alice, she said her name was—
played together, both preferring the
shore.
In the afternoon the steamer with
its load of children returned to the
city. Tim told Alice of the life he led
and said that if she would like to join
him and sell papers as lie did he would
give her some of his stock. He made
his home with a woman named ^lur
phy, to whom he paid what he could
for bis board. She was a kind woman,
and he thought she would take in Alice
too. The little girl, dreading to go
back to the asylum, agreed when they
made a landing to slip away with Tim
and cast her fortunes with him as a
newsgiri.
Alice was received ujnder protest by
the woman with whom Tim made his
home. She strongly advised the child
to return to the asylum, but Alice beg
ged to be kept and said she world sell
papers like Tim to pay for her keeping.
So Sirs. Murphy consented. Being a
pretty child, Alice readily gained cus
tomers and soon sold more papers
than Tim. But Tim looked after the
finances, and soon the two, besides
paying for their necessities, were lay
ing up money. The accumulative prin
ciple was strong in the boy, and bo
was destined to become rich.
One day while Tim and Alice were
on a much frequented street corner
selling papers a man across the street
beckoned to Alice to come over to him
with a paper. Several other gamins
started to get ahead of her. She be
came reckless In the race, was knock
ed down by a wagon and lay insensi
ble. Tim saw her and. throwing down
his papers, ran to her, took her op in
his arms and carried her to tfio"l!3eh
walk.
Alice was taken home—that Is, to the
only home she knew. Tho day ended,
anil she did not Pjcover consciousness.
Another duy and another, n week, a
month, went by, and still she did not
awaken, for her condition seemed rath
er that of sleep than what is called
conlatose. There Is recorded a case
of u person lying eleven years in such
a condition, and the nest longest case
Is that of little Alice, who lay nine
years in constant slumber.
Let us pass over this gap in her life
as she passed it, without taking cog
nizance of it, to the awakening. It
occurred In the morning about 10
o'clock. For some time previous, so
she has said, she felt a semiconscious
ness, bnt rather as a dream than a
reality. Some one was moving about
herr opening" blinds, arranging things
in the room, rubbing furniture with a
cloth. This person, though indistinct,
seemed to be n woman, a maid, though
Alice then did not know this meaning
of tho word. Then for a time all was
slleut.
The awakening came by degrees.
Alice remembers trying to throw off
sleep, realizing that she must get up
and be at her post selling papers. Fi
nally she opened her eyes and was
surprised to find herself, instead of In
the little wooden box she called her
room, In a large, well furnished cham
ber. She could not grasp the situation
or, rather, the connection between it
and the past. Her first idea—that nat
ural to a child—was that a fairy had
taken her out of her bed and carried
her to another, perhaps In a palace.
What confused her most was a faint
memory of having been In that same
chamber before. She attempted to sit
up in bed, but found It so difficult that
she desisted. But she managed to tura
on her side and looked straight into
a mirror in the door of a wardrobe.
What did it mean? That reflection
wns not her own. It was the reflec
tion of a young woman. She glanced
at her body as It appeared under the
bedclothes and saw that it was not
the body of a child. It extended from
th > headboard nearly to the footboard.
Turning again to the image in the mir
ror, she looked at the features. She
opened and shut her eyes, moved her
lips, to determine if It were her own
reflectfffii. It certainly was the re
flection of the person lying on the bed,
but that person could not possibly be
herself, the child Alice. She was be
coming frightened at these incongrui
ties when the door opened and a
maid stepped Into the room. She look
ed at Alice with surprise depicted on
every feature. Alice looked at her as
one bewildered. The mold turned and
ran out out of the room.
She was gone only a rew moments
when she returned with a woman who
looked for all the world like Mrs. Mur
phy, though Mrs. Murphy's hair wa.
brown and this woman's was a grizzly
gray. Nevertheless she ran to the bed
and folded Alice in her arms. But,
seeing the bewildered expression on
the girl's face, she said quickly: _
"Don't excite yourself. There's been
a great change, but it's all well. You
have made us all happy by awaken
ing."
"Ilave 1 been long asleep? What
does It all mean? Who am I? I'm not
a little girl any more."
The woman soothed her and little by
little gave her enough of tho story to
Tnake her aware of the fact that long
before she had been knocked down by
a wngon in the street and had remain
ed uuconscious for a number of years.
"But what means this other change?"
asked Alice. "Where am I? This
room seems familiar to me. How did
I come here?"
"Tim will tell you about that. You
must remember that Tim is not now a
little boy any more than you are a lit
tle girl. He has grown to be a fine
young man. But no more at present.
The doctor told us recently that you
were showing signs of awakening and
said that if you did awake you must
be handled very carefully."
"Where is Tim?"
"He has been sent for and will be
here directly."
"Does he still sell papers?"
A smile came and went quickly over
the woman's features as she replied:
"Oh, no. Tim hasn't sold papers for a
long time. He owns a newspaper him
self. Few men of his age have ever
succeeded as he has succeeded. But
yon must hear that from him."
There was a tap at ths door, and it
was pushed open, and a man who look
ed to be nearly thirty, though he was
but twenty-two, entered the room
with an expression of intense happi
ness on his face, which, when he saw
the sleeper awakened, broke Into a
Joyful smile.
"Alice!" he exclaimed.
She lay looking at him in wonder for
awhile, then asked:
"Can you be Tim?" '
"I am Tim."
"Then tell me," she added presently,
"how I came here."
"It is a long story, and I have been
warned to condense It You remember
the money we aad saved before you
were injured?"
"It was $37.42."
"It is now as many thousands. But
I must be brief. I went to the asylum
you left to come with me and learned
there all about you, including your for
mer home. I resolved to buy It for
you and succeeded In doing so only a
few months ago. You are in the home
whore you were born and lived till
misfortune overtook your family. The
second happiest day in my Ifo was
when I received the deed for It made
out in your name. The happiest day
Is this at seeing you awakened."
She found strength to put out her
hand, and as Tim grasped It he knew
the love that had been growing with
in him for years would be returned
