The Redemption
of a Hunchback
By ELEANOR H. PORTER
<Copyright, 19U, b) J^n, a Bvw „ ™
1 bought a curious old desk last
^eek at a still more curious old shop
on Third avenue. That night, as 1 was
gloating over mv new treasure. I
chanced upon an inner secret drawer;
find there I found—lorn straight
across from top to bottom—a closely
written manuscript.
(aiefuiiy matching the jagged edges
together read this;
So her name is Alice.’ It's a pretty
name—but what is that to me? What
liave I to do with pretty names or
pretty faces, or yet with prettv fan
cies?
Remember? What indeed, do I not
i fmember '—ah, yes; there are some
few things, after all. I do not remem
l>er kisses, save those of compassion;
nor smiles, save those of pity. I do
not remember romps and games, save
those that for me bore defeat.
I do remember eyes, my moth
er s eyes, always mournful when
turned on me; and other eyes, my
fathers, always quickly averted. If by
chance they met my own. There were
still other eyes, round, widely-opened,
curious, yet frightened, my playmate s
eyes, always following me about with
fascinated horror.
Was it the eyes that first told me I
was not like other boys.’ Or was it—
the Mirror? The Mirror was a fearful
thing of shifting lights an 1 shadows.
It reached from floor to ceiling in
mother s room, and it said that one
was small and ugly, and that ones
head set far forward on shoulders
that were high and squarely cut It
said that one’s back was not straight
and slender like Tom's or Dick’s or
Bill's, but that it crooked and curved
and bunched into a great round knot
below one’s neck.
behoof? Ah, yes. I rememoer school.
It was a thing of hard, high seats, and
of boys and girls, all tall, so hopeless
ly tall; a thing of large, round eyes,
all mirror*, and of romps and races
in which 1 alone had no part.
fchool was followed by college, and
college was bvit school intensified.
When it was over I took up law.
And now from early morning until
late at night I work and study, save
that at four each day I walk in the
park It was in the park this after
noon that I saw—Alice.
She sat alone on one of the seats,
and I stood for a long while watching
her from behind a screen of shrubs
Her pretty head was tilted back
against a tree trunk, and her brown
hair flashed golden in the sunlight rh;.t
nme slantwise through the trees.
Some dainty worsted stuff of pale blue
lay in her lap. while her slender fin
gers toyed with two long knitting
needles of Ivory.
By and bv a girl older than himself
carnt hurrying up.
"Did I keep you waiting. Alice1’" she
said.
Alicel But what, indeed, have I to
do with pretty names, or pretty faces,
or yet with pretty fancies?
My brain is on fire, my hand6 trem
de and I can scarcely breathe; but I
uust write, even though I am forced
o resort to my old trick of using my
eft hand—my right wrist was
sprained to-day.
I must put this thing into words,
hen look at them, study them, and
jnderstand what they mean
When I reached the park to-day.
Mice was already there, laughing and
-.laying with a kitten. The ball was,
r,aif unwound so that long coils of
due lav loosely over Alices dress and
jver the grass at her feet. Suddenly
he kitten, with the ball between her]
eeth jumped to the ground, bounded
ioross the path and the narrow strip,
if grass and into the roadway beyond, |
Alice, with a laughing protest, j
■prang to her feet. and. passing the
due thread hand over hand, quickly
-cached the struggling, squirming bit
>f miScbief. and dropped on her knees
it its side.
It was then that 1 heard the wild
datter of an ungui ted horse’s feet, and
,aw. coming around the curve above,
\ driverless horse end a swaying,
mptv carriage.
Alice gave a frightened little cry
ind rose'to her feet. The kitten scur
-ied across the road into the bushes,
Dut the girl stood irresolute.
ln one awful moment I realized that
he only thing between her and possf
de death was my own puny arm. I
mulrt not reach the girl, but 1 might
he horse. Oh. for the broad shoul
lers and strong grip of a man—not
he feeble grasp of a pygmy!
1 dashed across the grass and hurled
•self at the beast, which seemed so
cuielesslv huge and untamable as it
owered for an instant above me. I
night as well have tried to check the
meed of a cyclone. The animal shook
ne off as though 1 were a trouble
. me fly.and dashed headlong down the
oad But that one instant of attack
f'auwn mm to swerv* ever so auentlr
*“ h,s cour»- only the wheel of
the carriage grazed Alice's dress as he
passed.
Over and over I rolled until I
reached the gutter. As soon as pos
able I was on my feet and at Alice’s
>ide. steeling myself to meet the look
1 knew I should And in her eyes.
’ You are not hurt?" I faltered.
She turned toward me. her blue eyes
frightened and widely opened.
“No—no—ot* no—I’m not hurt,” she
began tremulously; “but there was an
aciuueat, was there not” I—I shouldn't
be here. I will go back to the seat,1*
she added, reaching out both her hands
and starting timidH forward.
And then I saw. Alice was blind!
" kaf 1 said and lid I hardly know.
I only know that my heart leaped
within me and that my brain seemed
on fire. I threw up mv head and
walked on air as I led her back to the
ffat I soothed and quieted her; I
laughed, joked, told bits of stories, and
drew- her attention from the past un
pleasantness. And ail the while my
heart sang a song of joy, God forgive
me. a song of joy because Alice could
not see!
What care I now for the mirror’s
eyes? I walk abroad and scorn them.
Do I not know where to look to meet
no hateful image of pity?
I have learned from Alice many
things. I have learned that, though
the strong and rich scorn to have the
misshapen hunchback plead their
case in court, they that are poor of
Purse would gladly claim his aid.
And they have it—these poor; my
heart burns at their tales of wrong
and injustice, and my tongue must be
tipped with fire from the Heaven that
favors the righteous cause, so often
uo 1 win for them the victory.
And all the days my heart is sing
ing—for Alice is to be my wife. And
why not” I wJH make her like a thing
of love and p ace, a thing set separate
from every care. And now I am glad

buy the sweets of life for my Alice.
So all my days are a song till June
— June, our wedding month.
_
Am 1 man or fiend? Have I sunk
so low as to be a thing of scorn even
to myself?
It is June. Alice has been away for
weeks. A letter in her dear, labored
hand received to-day says:
Darling: I have a surprise for you
—the dearest, most wonderful surprise
in the world All these weeks I have
been under a famous oculist’s care,
and. dear heart, I'm going to see! To
see! To see!
I m going home to-morrow. Come
to me Come quickly, for I shall wear
the bandage across my face until you
yourself remove it. I want the first
thing I see at home to be the joy and
love in your eves. Come. Your own.
ALICE.
It is the end. Once more I shall
walk alone. On e more I shall watch
my darling from afar, for never after
this day will I tfci it my face between

I go now to Alice.
And there the manuscript ended. I
turned it about and twisted it from
side to side, but not another word
could I find.
I could neither work nor sleep. At
last. I hurried down to the little shop
on Third avenue and sought the pro
prietor.
••I bought a desk here a week ago
— an old desk with curious carvings,
and odd little drawers at the side," I
began. ’ Can you tell me to whom it
belonged?”
"Yes. 1 remember." returned the old
man. a peculiar smile on his face "It
vas once the property of Denton, the
hunchback lawyer."
'He must be a wonderful man,” I
ventured.
"He Is—all thanks to the devoted
encouragement of a good wife.”
My heart leaped.
“Then he's married!” I faltered.
•To the best and truest little wom
an in the world. I know, for I’ve
watched her from babyhood up." The
old man paused a moment. then
turned to me, a strange light in his
faded blue eyes.
"Alice, his wife, was blind when
he first knew and courted her; ant
because she could not see, he showed
to her—and to her alone—the depths
of his real self. When Alice’s sight
was restored, she insisted that her
; lover should be the one to remove the
final bandage from her eyes, and my
wife—who was in the room at the
time—Said she never saw a man whose
face expressed such hopeless misery
as Denton's at that minute. But Alice
just looked a' him; a long, loving
' look that never faltered.”
“And he?" ,
"He took her in hi3 arms with a
ureat sob of joy. '
“And then?” I prompted eagerly.
The old man turned with a mild re
proof in his eyes.
“And then—my wife left the room,”
fie said, gently.__

If so. it will interest you to
know that it can be stopped
with Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills;
and without any bad after
effects, and this without dan
ger of forming a drug habit or
having your stomach disar
ranged. They positively con
tain no opium, morphine, co
caine, chloral, ether or chloro
form in any form. Dr. Miles’
Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain,
and leave only a sense of relief.
The reason for this is explained
by the fact that headache comes
from tired, irritable, turbulent,
over-taxed brain nerves. Anti
Pain Pills soothe and strength
en these nerves, thus removing
the cause. They are harmless
when taken as directed.
