“
I
haven
’
t
any
name
,
”
replied
the
boy
.
“
I
don
’
t
understand
,
”
said
McLean
.
“
I
was
thinking
from
the
voice
and
the
face
of
you
that
you
wouldn
’
t
,
”
said
Freckles
slowly
.
“
I
’
ve
spent
more
time
on
it
than
I
ever
did
on
anything
else
in
all
me
life
,
and
I
don
’
t
understand
.
Does
it
seem
to
you
that
anyone
would
take
a
newborn
baby
and
row
over
it
,
until
it
was
bruised
black
,
cut
off
its
hand
,
and
leave
it
out
in
a
bitter
night
on
the
steps
of
a
charity
home
,
to
the
care
of
strangers
?
That
’
s
what
somebody
did
to
me
.
”
McLean
stared
aghast
.
He
had
no
reply
ready
,
and
presently
in
a
low
voice
he
suggested
:
“
And
after
?
”
“
The
Home
people
took
me
in
,
and
I
was
there
the
full
legal
age
and
several
years
over
.
For
the
most
part
we
were
a
lot
of
little
Irishmen
together
.
They
could
always
find
homes
for
the
other
children
,
but
nobody
would
ever
be
wanting
me
on
account
of
me
arm
.
”
“
Were
they
kind
to
you
?
”
McLean
regretted
the
question
the
minute
it
was
asked
.
“
I
don
’
t
know
,
”
answered
Freckles
.
The
reply
sounded
so
hopeless
,
even
to
his
own
ears
,
that
he
hastened
to
qualify
it
by
adding
:
“
You
see
,
it
’
s
like
this
,
sir
.
Kindnesses
that
people
are
paid
to
lay
off
in
job
lots
and
that
belong
equally
to
several
hundred
others
,
ain
’
t
going
to
be
soaking
into
any
one
fellow
so
much
.
”
“
Go
on
,
”
said
McLean
,
nodding
comprehendingly
.
“
There
’
s
nothing
worth
the
taking
of
your
time
to
tell
,
”
replied
Freckles
.
“
The
Home
was
in
Chicago
,
and
I
was
there
all
me
life
until
three
months
ago
.
When
I
was
too
old
for
the
training
they
gave
to
the
little
children
,
they
sent
me
to
the
closest
ward
school
as
long
as
the
law
would
let
them
;
but
I
was
never
like
any
of
the
other
children
,
and
they
all
knew
it
.
I
’
d
to
go
and
come
like
a
prisoner
,
and
be
working
around
the
Home
early
and
late
for
me
board
and
clothes
.
I
always
wanted
to
learn
mighty
bad
,
but
I
was
glad
when
that
was
over
.
