A Little Story
Of a Big Town
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1913, by American Lit
erary Press.
I stood under a lamppost 011 Hester
street, wutchlog the overtired children
as they fell asleep, while sitting on the
steps, the men as they smoked and
rested, the women as they dragged
themselves wearily along and pur
chased a bit here and there to stock
the family cupboard for Sunday. On
Canal, on Grand, along the Bowery,
in Chatham square, men and women
are laughing In good nature as they
elbow each other and throug the stores
to purchase ornaments and luxuries.
Here men and women are sullen ami
tllent, many of them wondering where
the barest necessaries are to come
from.
"If you won't help me we .shall have
to go hungry tomorrow."
It was a little old woman who had
approached so softly that I did not
hear her.
"Where do you live?" I asked.
She pointed to a four story tenement
almost opposite.
"Any family?"
"A sick husband and four children,
sir."
"Very well: lead on, and I will fol
low."
She kept looking back, and there was
a puzzled expression on her face.
"This way—that's n child—keep to
the rail—don't fear the dog—we're al
most up."
"Ana as we rcncueu iuu u|ii>tri unu
we turned to the right, passed down n
blind hall running the other way. and
presently she pushed open a door, nnd
we entered a room lighted by a smok
ing lamp.
"John, children, it's a stranger come
to see ns." said the woman as I stood
nnd looked about.
Here were two small rooms, three
chairs, a cupboard, an old table; -a
wretched bedstead and more "wretched
bedding, on which lay n man. Across
the room was u mattress, on which the
children were lying as I entered, in
the other room I saw a stove, a wash
tub and a bucket of coal.
"Sit down, sir," said the woman as
she placed a chair.
The husband looked to be fifty years
old. He had the bright eyes nnd the
hollow cheeks of a consumptive.
"Are you a doctor?" he asfred as I sat
down.
"No."
"The rent Is overdue, but we haven't
even bread to eat." he said. * »
"I am not your landlord nor his
agent. I simply came up to see^ yon—
to see If you were sick, to see what
you needed."
"John, you know how It is with us.
1 nsked him on the street for money,
nnd he's come up to—to"—
"To see if you were really in need
of help." 1* said as she paused. "Ilnve
yon had any supper?"
"Just a crust for him. sir. but noth
ing for the rest, and but for you the
children would be crying with hun
ger." i.e..
"Very well. I'll., mind the house
while you go out. Get bread, butter,
tea, milk, sugar, potatoes and meat.''
"You—you don't mean it?" she"
gasped.
i ne man rose up uu ins eiuup iu
a better look nt rae, find I saw some
thing like alarm In bis face. To quiet
bim I said: . -
"The case Is clear enough. You used
to get along all right, but sickness
cauie: you could no longer work; you
have reached your last penny'. Why
shouldn't I help you a bit?"; . ,
"It's sadly enough we need It, God
knows, but—but"— '• ' ^
"But you can't make out w{jy I
came up here?" . ";4
"Xo, sir." ' ,
"Well, don't worry about It Queer
things are always happening to all of
us. How long have you been 111?"
"Over a year, sir."
"And how have you lived?"
"By using the few dollars'I had put
by and by selling whatever we <jould
spare until we are as you see us. I
once earned ray $3 a day, sir, and no
poor man's family was. better cared
for."
"And today you are penniless and
hungry?"
"Aye. sir, and as I laid here I'd have
cut ray throat If I. had it tfilfe.".
By and by. as we talked, the mother
and children returned. I heard tfte
latter shouting, even on the lower
stairs. Each bad a load, and the wife
returned after a lamp, a bottle of. wine
and some other things. Poor soul!
She was laughing and crying by turns,
and to have seen those forlorn chil
dren sit down on the floor and eat the
dry bread as famishing wolves devour
their prey was something to pain your
heart.
"It's real meat, Joha/k-saM.ths wo
man as she came to bedside
Teal meat, andTeal-pQtjitoes, and real
sugar and tea, attd jljere la V God
after all P' • «
"Yes, there is a Gojl', Tififryf* be
whispered as he w^pt. ' T,/
And while I sat there the wife cook
ed supper, and the hunger'of all was
satisfied, and the two silialler children
afterward knelt at the bedside and
repeated the Lord's Prayer and were
asleep three minutes later.
It was only a drop, only a little ray
of hope shining through the darkness
and gloom of their poverty and de
spair, but to have caught that one
ray filled them with new strength to
battle In the future, and I had touched
elbows with still another phase of hu
manity.
An Opportunity
Lost
By MARGARET BARR
In feudal times, when the now ruin
ed castles on tlie river Rhine were
alive with people, thero lay dying
In one ot' them Count Hallensteln, Its
owner. There had long been a feud
between the count and Baron Haf
strom, a. neighbor, who, learning of bis
enemy's Illness, designed; as soon as
he, the latter, died, to step in and take
possession -,pf the castle and estate.
The count's sou and heir, Herman,
was at the time of his father's illness ~
returning, frptn the university where
lie had been studying and bad been re
called to bis home.
The messenger who summoned him
also informed him that Baron Haf
strom was watching Tor him to waylay
and make him a prisoner, that at his fa
ther's death there would be no head to
the Ilulleustein vassals to offer resist
ance and that he might hold the heir
to do with him as he chose. Herman
set out on horseback with the mes
senger, Ludwig Kilter, to return to his
dying father In order that he might
putwit those lying in wait for him, he
concluded that Hitter should personate
a knight, and he, Herman, would act
as his servant So they changed gar
ments and proceeded in this fashion,
Herman riding behind Ludwig. i.-.
One evening when they were, not far
distant from Hailenstein castle they
stopped at tlie uouse in tue center 01 a
large- vineyard, whose owner, August
Cuuer, entertained tbern hospitably,
according to the custom of the coun
try Gretchcn, Bauer's daughter, was
a comely girl. eighteen years old, an
age at which young girls are especially
interested in the opposite sex. She
could not but notice the difference be
tween the two strangers, the master
being III at ease In playing a role that
was novel to hiin, and the courtly man
ners of his servaut
Herman before setting out bad in
structed Ludwig not to defer to him
in any way—indeed, to treat him rath
er harshly, the better to carry out tho
decuption. Bauer told Ludwig that
Baron Uafstroui's men had been to the
vineyard that day looking for Herman
Halieustein. and Uernian, fearing that
he might be taken for the master in
stead of the man, instructed Ludwig
to redouble his harsh treatment
whereupon Ludwig. while Herman
was waiting on him, feigning to be dis
pleased with his servant, rated him
soundly, indulging his pretended ire so
TaV as to strike him.
Herman bore his treatment meekly,
but Gretchen's eyes flashed Are. She
said nothing at the time, but when
.ilono with Herman sympathized with
him and offered, if he wished to leave
his master's service, to ask her father
to give him employment In the grape
culture. It occurred to Herman that
It might be well to accept the offer
and send Ludwig ahead to find a pas
sage through Baron Hafstronrs men.
So Gretcheu went to her father with
the request, which was granted, and
Herman -was set to trimming vines,
while Ludwig. after abusing his man
for leiu'ing bis service, went on.
Qrctchen. who was infatuated with
Herman, went out to where he-was at
work and spent a great deal of her
time chatting with him. This angered
her father, who was a -wealthy man
and had no idea of permitting his
daughter to become involved with a
servant. He reprimanded her, but it
was too late. Young hearts need but
a spark - to start an unquenchable
fiaiue. Since Gretcheu could not meet
Herman openly she met him in secret
On the second day. after Ludwig's
departure lie returned. He had found
an unguarded avenue to the castle.
Tbe count had died while he was
there, but he had instructed the count
ess to keep his death a secret till Her
man had arrived. Ludwig nwr pro
posed that Herman should obtain
clo.thiug from G retch en and proceed as
a girl. So Herman told Gretchan
that he was a political fugitive and
asked her to let him have her clothes
by which to make his escape. She
readily consented and brought him
what lie needed. Arraying himself In
her belongings, painting his cheeks
and powdering his face, he started,
Gretcben accompanying him till he
had traversed the more frequented
part of the distance and passed sev
eral bands of men watching for him.
The two journeying together so aided
the deception that Herman asked her
to go on with him till his safety bad
been assured.
Leaving the main road, they entered
a defile in the high hills that bordered
on the Rhine, which Ludwig had found
unguarded. A band had since occu
pied it, but the travelers climbed a
hill and passed on above them. In this
way they avoided several parties and
at lust entered the rastle.
'(•tatchen wa»- much astonished to
•see- hor ; companion, when he had
thrown off his feminine apparel, re
ceive the homage of his vassals. After
an Interview with his mother and the
funeral of his fnther he placed him
self at the head of his retainers, sal
lied forth and scattered the bands
that had been looking for him.
Baron Hafstrom. seeing that the op
portunity had eluded him, gave up the
Idea of appropriating Hallenstein cas
tle and withdrew bis forces. Gretcben
became ITerman's wife and brought
him a tine fortune, with a part of
which he strengthened tbe defenses
of his castle and otherwise bettered
I his condition.
BLUNDERS OF ARTISTS,
Curious Example* In tho Dam* of the
National Capitol.
In the dome of the capitol at Wash
ington there are eight great paintings
carefully designed and executed by the
artists for the adornment of the na
tion's greatest building. Yet five of
them are either defective In technique
or in error us to natural or historical
facts.
One of the best known pictures Is
that in which Washington is shown
resigning his commission to the Conti
nental congress. There are two young
girls, almost life size, standing in the
foreground. They are very pretty
young girls, but one of them has three
hands. One left hand rests on the
shoulder of her companion; another
left band is ronnd her companion's
waist Doubtless the artist Trumbull
painted both hands to see which pose
be preferred and then forgot to paint
out tbe superfluous hand.
Diagonally across the rotunda Is the
painting of the baptism of Pocahontas.
Sitting in tbe foreground is Opecan
canough, the uncle of Pocahontas. He
Is barefooted, and the artist has giv
en blm six toes on his left foot
In the painting of the lauding of Co
lumbus, which used to be reproduced
on the five dollar banknote, tbe artist
has painted three flags. They are very
well drawn, but one is blowing east,
one west and one south, which indi
cates a very variable condition of the
wind on that famous day.
In the picture of the surrender of
Cornwallis General Washington Is con
spicuous seated upon a white horse.
But General Washington was not pres
ent at the surrender. Cornwallis did
not surrender his army In person, bat
sent a subordinate officer to do so. Ac
cordingly Washington detailed an offi
cer of corresponding rank to receive
the surrender. It wonld have been a
breach of military etiquette for Wash
ington to be present
The fifth picture, "Signing of the
Declaration of Independence at Phila
delphia on July 4.1776," is wrong only
in the title. Tbe Declaration of Inde
pendence was adopted on July 4, but
It was not signed* by the members of
the congress until Aug. 2, 1776.—
Youth's Companion.
Healthy City Folfca.
Life in a great city does not neces
sarily lead to physical degeneration.
There died a London Ssh hawker
*bout four years ago who could trace
his family back 200 years and had
never beard of any addition of coun
try blood. He died within a few
weeks of his golden wedding and
left twenty-one children, seventy-one
grandchildren and twenty great-grand
children. None of the children mar
rled out of the London district in
which they lived, except a soldier son
who emigrated. The old man plied
bis trade until within two days of
bl3 death and "could pull his barrow
twenty miles. He had sinews like a
young 'un and not a corn on his feet"
