NEWSBOY IS HER PROTEGE Winsome Young E @irl Educates a Btreet Arab, TEACHES THE LAD TO READ AND WRITE Irene MeCoy Are the Prinel Strange Fri Min and Mike Rarto Miss Ireme McCoy, office girl In the em- ploy of Dr. Victor H. Coffman at Fifeenth and Farnam streets, has a protege in the person of a little newsboy named Mike Barto. Mike is 12 years old and his fair patron s 15. She is teaching him to read and write and he calls at the office every | afternoon at 5 o'clock to recite his lesson This arrangement has been since early in December. One day as Miss McCoy was returning from luncheon a little boy, absurdly dirty and pleturesq uely ragged, stepped up to her on the street and holding a newspaper within her re cried “All about the Cuming fire Woman burned to death! Paper, lady!" Now, it happened that Miss McCoy has some acquaintances on Cuming street, 30 the lad's cry interested her. ‘Show me the story about the fire, little boy,”” she said, “and I'll buy the paper.” The ‘“mewsic” was obvlously embar rassed, but he was not to be bluffed. He pointed at random to one. of the “slug| heads'' on the front pag which chanced to be an wccount of the war in the Trans- vaal Then Miss McCoy knew that he was a 1ad who had never learned to read He had taken his cue about the fire from “de odder kids,” who had invented it for commereial purposes. That afternoon Miss McCoy conceived the {den of teaching Mike to read, write and épell. She had plenty of time, as her duties consisted malnly of guarding the office and answering questions over the ‘phone, so the next time she met Mike on the street she arranged with him to de- liver a newspaper at the office every after- moon at 5 o'clock. Miss Irene Works a Ruase. This was but a ruse to sccure his tendance.” Then she cultivated his acquaintance. He was shy at first, but after the first two or three days he was willing to “loaf,” as he called it, a few minutes after delivering the paper. Fihally, with admirable tact, Miss McCoy Jald her proposition before him. She didn't tell him that a boy of his age ought to be ashamed not to know how to read or write. On the contrary, she led him to believe that for an office girl in a physician's parlor to constitute herself governess to a news- boy was the most ordinary of arrangements How otherwise could a newsboy ever hope to learn anything? she asked him. So the compact was duly confirmed Mike proved to be a bright pupil, wonder- fully versed in the “woodcraft” of the streets, and having a large fund of native humor. He learned rapidly. First it was his A, B, Cs and then words of three lotters. One day primer for him observed street ! “at- Miss McCoy brought down a to read out of, but he would have mone of it. Newspapers were the only text books he cared for. He made his living from newspapers, not primers. Bo Miss McCoy, to humor him, read news “stories” aloud, usually choosing some n- structive subject, but his interest. in- variably flagged after the first paragraph, when he would very politely ask her to read a police story instead—something about a murder, a suicide or a fatal acei- dent—these were the “stories” that sold the paper on the street, he said. And agein she humored him. But all has not been smooth sailing vith Miss McCoy and her protege. *De hids yot wise' to the arrangement and tauntzd poor little Mike unmercifully. Some even threatened him with ostraclsm When he would take a nickel in payment for a paper, explaining that he had vo pennies, the big boys would cry: “Oh, Mikie! Wiat will de teacher say?' It's getting so lately he can't even smoke a cigurette in peace. The boys scoff at him and say they will “tell teacher.” He is brave, however, and, just to show his Independence, he shouts every day “All about the capture of the kidnapers!” though none know better than he that Pat Crawe is still at large. Little is known about Mike Barto's ente- cedents, save that he was born {n Omaha and that his parents still live here. If hie knows where and how they live he is discroetly silent on the point. He takes as little interest in them as they do in him. He sleeps every night in the hall of w down town bullding, close to a friendly radiator, and takes his meals in the alleys in the rear of the newspaper offices.

Mrs. Dunning gave him some things, in- cluding a summer shirt, overlooking the fact that her husband had neglected to re- | move his diamond stud from the garment. Perhaps the tramp observed the oversight At apy rate he has not been seun since. ‘From the whirl of goselp in the finan clal center,” says the Philadelphia Record “comes a little atory of the contents of the strong tin box belonging to William L.

He picked him up and lammed him on the floor, be batted him against the counter, he dropped him in the sawdust. He cuffed his ears to the tune of good advice; he laid him across his knee and spanked him. Then he stood him up and talked to him, and Jobn went away & humbler and sorer boy. “There s noth- ing in the world like a little good advice, punctuated by a personal application In tho right way,” sald the good man to him- selt as he trudged away toward another saloon. ‘I'o Care a Cough etop coughing, as it irritates the lungs and glves them no chance to heal.
