About 2,500 ofCfhem each day tread this stony way, according to the fig ures ot b. V, Demson, general secre tary, and so frequently do they do so that the stone stens in front of the door nearest Seventeenth street is fast wearing away. The slope of the worn stone steps is ao great there is danger of slipping, ; ihe building committee of the Y is seriously contemplating the con, struction of steel - steps -to supplant the stone ones, because thev are tired of buying new steps every year or so. rrstH vV . ft C , ,11 ' "Boy" Is home again, and Helen Meyer, his little crippled mistress, is as happy as she can be. When the re porter for The Bee heard that "Boy" had been returned he went -up to see Helen at'the Saunders school, Forty first avenue and Cass street; she was "studying about Central Africa," and couldn't spare much time for an in terview, but when she saw "Boy" and found -out' that the picture man wanted to take her picture she came out on her crutches with a broad smile on her face. - Boy, who has not been feeling well since he came home, ran up to her, offered to kiss her with his cool black muzzle, and settled down con tentedly on 'her lap when she took a seat. ' "Boy loves Helen and her mother and father think that his con science is hurting him to make him look and feel so despondent. lack Meyer, her, father, did not really think-it would do any good to advertise for the dog, but a friend told him that it was the surest way of finding the dog and he "took a chance" and is glad he did. Mrs. M. Guinane, 2628s Parker street, had been watching the papers for a lost ad vertisement since Sunday, when "Boy" followed her from Forty-first and California streets., Later when she found out from the news columns of The Bee that little Helen was a cripple and the dog was a present from her dead brother she was only too glad that she had been able, to return the dog., Jack Meyer looks on the return of "Boy" 'as a turn in the bad luck that seems to have pursued him and the family ever since Helen was stricken with infantile paralysis, nine years ago. He has spent most of the money he received for work as a fire man in efforts to repair the damage to Helen's lhnbs. Then his wife has well, and last spring little 5-year-old been sick, the children have not been Jack, junior, died, and only about a month ago the father, himself, was almost run down by an automobile while on his way to work. "But getting 'Boy' back seems mighty good, to us. Helen was just breaking her heart about him. Now she can go to school without any sadness mixed in with it. She is a very good student and is quite an artist, said Mr. Meyer, Her teacher confirmed her excellent record in school and her ability with a pencil.
