should yoa award a lazy vaga bond that is what yoa called me a bit ago when i asked you for something he remarked mrs phelps looked at him olosely and recognized him i wave ont of humor ahe exclaimed pardon what 1 said and tell me how i can assist you mcadam 3 oave invited me to come to your home if youd do me a kindness 00 me to mi no instead mrv phelps looked at him in amaze meat i oan hardly do that ahe aatd i would moob rather ah yon pleaae madam im glad x was able to reaone your ohlld if youre glad i wish youd visit my borne it isnt too much to ask what is yoar name and where do you live he said his name waa james thorn peon and named an obscure street as his addrese af ler i ve taken my child home ill oall to see you aaid mra phelpa ill be there by the time you are he reeponded an hoar later mra pbalpi accompanied by a trusty servant having driven into a narrow street entered a moat uninviting tenement and ascending three flights of rlokety filthy ataira waa admitted to a amall attic room lighted by a single wlu- dow the floor wai qarpa a cracked atove an old table a lare box which served aa a cap board a bed and two or three broken backed chairs were the only furni ture but though ao bare and eomfortleai the room waa clean tjpou the scantily covered bed lay two persons a woman of perhapa thirty five and a little girl of about aiz both evidently ill and both sleeping uneasily i aeked yon lo come here because i wanted yoa to see this laid thompson in a low voice thit with aoomprabenaive wave ot the hand is my home yoa ace all my furniture except whats at the

helped with the sewing by working from early in tho morning till late at night we managed to earn enough to pay our rent and buy snfhoient food to keep ua from starving but the rates went down down down to thirteen to twelve oven to ten cents a pair what i ten cents for making a pair of trouaera who ia mean enough to pay snob wages aa that 7 the great clothing firm of pbelpa co madam i phelps oo impossible 1 the firm madanvof which 3 our hua band ia bead i wonder if when he gave largelyto some library ohuroh or hospital he aver thought of the poor wretches who tolled day and night summer and

hceband was able to give away bla thousands this ie a revelation to me said mra phelpa i cannot aee bow you managed to exiat stall its been a hard hard struggle replied thompson with the aid ot our little girl for ebe has been sewing ever since ahe waa four jftar old wo were uooaelonally able lo earn a dollar a day bat that waa aeldom we bad to pay a dollar and a quarter per week for this room and hardly ever had more than four dollars a week to feed clothe and warm tbe three of ua but for tbe last six months tbe ohlld baa been ill ten days ago my wife took sick and beoanae of having to watt on jier and tbe child i waa able to do bo little sewing that tbe foreman got angry tbe other day and refused to give me any more work be sides we have been falling behind with the rent and only yesterday i received notice that if i dont pay by the end of the week i and my slok family must leave oatrageoun 1 who ie your landlord thompson took a paper from bia pooket and remarking that i waa

been ijing a few hours before on tbe dirty floor of a tene mentor on tbe bed of a child siok with a contagious disease being nnable to answer this question satisfactorily both parties submitted to the inevitable tbe wages were raised and far from becoming bankrupt tbe firm of phelpa 6m3o is more prosperous than ever and mrs phelps to day ia a very oheerfal happy woman- far happier than when she was a devotee at the altar of faehlod for ahe knows she has tbe omlle ot him to whom she has consecrated not only ber wealth and time but herself n x oburvcr about military titles does whatever you and
