of thought to their Houree, niul r.o I tuUo

they nro cooked nt Ids cood pleasure. And
coinetlmes-very often, In (not 1 llnd mv
(telf lolnting tho eoneliudoiiH of cold
ethics and giving money to it beggar.
This much taforo 1 tell my Btory.
The Incident hero recorded occurred on
a Tluin!((;lvlii(i Day not ninny warn :'.
Twn'i n cold November day in Hattery
park, New York. Tim r.uu tiliouo feebly
from behind n hank of elomhi, ot the
air was keen mid bmrlnr. It lironht
color (o (ho cheeks and hrlyhtnesi to tho
evei of noiuu twenty Idlew iieated upon
(lie henehea. Mont of (ho perilous In the
park wero apparent! v of forelrn cxt ruc
tion. A llUlo l'VencIiinan, wrappeil In n
cloak and who took freinuuit iilnehes of
kiiiiIT, formed n htrlkliifc contrast to r
brawny 'loiitfahoroinan In u hlno blonsi
and ovoiiiIIh. Another itctuivMUu Kfonr
was foiined of u llnlifiuliin mother wild
her (hrco chlldnii,ullen wbo looked upon
tho evidences of u new civilization with
fear mid dint ru(. Tho rest of (he occu
iniiiti of (ho par); were hits of ilolBain
and Jotsam of Immunity common In every
lamo heaport town. Tho day of Thanks
(;l lnt was unknown to thi-ui. For (he
niii.st part they wero drinking of tho lees
of llfo mid had nothing to bo thankful for
except tho material fact of u cheerless ex
Istenco.
Whllo watching (his drift from nllen
r.hores and wondering vaguely what wero
tho actual condition: tuirrouudlug theso
heroes, my iittentlon was dmwn to tho
Lhamhliiig (lguro of n man coming up ono
of tho aisles of (ho iiark. Tho bim ciiuio
out for u lnhuito mid mado him distinctly
vlslblo In all his abiectness. For ho was
tho most wrctclicil looking lunn I had ever
teen. Ills derby hat was brlmlcfls, hit
unco blue blouse had lost all of Its orl;;
"WOULD YOU OIVK MIC ONU ClNT, Bill?"
hml color, mid tils trouscw hung about
Ids cmaeliited legs llko 11 stocking about n
plpo slem. Upon Jiis pallow fneo was
four weeks' growth of stubby black beard.
Ills face was dark and his eyes had thnt
pale, sickly gleam fcoinotlmes" seen under
tho dry husk of uti onion. Ilo walked,
with 11 Mow, shambling, uncertain step,
11 nl his shoulders drooped as though ao
was 11U gono lusldo und every minute he
I'f'Oitcil t' collapse. Tho very abject.
nofs of his condition fascinated mo, and
whllo still bathing him I watched his ap
proach with Interest. As ho eamo up to
mo t,o sobed tho elliow of his left nrm In
putting his light hand behind his back.
In this curious attitude ho spoko:
"Would you glvo mo 0110 cent, sir?"
This ho said In n volco which seemed to
como out of tho very sub cellar of de
spair, so monotonous was it, to utterly
bereft of tho ring of hopo.
"No, Mr," I replied, "I could not."
Ilo mado no reply in words, but his
elbows lifted slightly and his long linger
mills, which woro mourning for departed
cleanliness, sunk Into tho palms of his
hands. Llko n man who folt that death
was stepping on his heels, ho turned
nway. Thero woro a dozon other men
sontcd In Hattery park, and to each 0110
of these ho In turn put tho samo question
that ho had to mo. Ilo mot tho samo
reply each tlino, for ns ho turned away I
could seo tho sharp elbows lift with a
despairing gesture and tho sallow face
harden Into corrugated linen. Ono man,
who looked Jolly mid well foil, perpetrated
a ghastly Joko by putting his hand in his
trousers pocket when tho mendicant
asked him tho fatal question and pro
ducing 11 paner of tobacco, Then Mr.
Jolly read lr. Misery a llttlo homily on
tho injustlco of poverty, end over Mis
ery's Jaco thero spread u shadow of a
grin, nnd sucli a gun ns may l wen on
tho faco of a mummy. It was If ho had
snld: "Did starvation over roost In your
stomach for threo days?" "Will ho jump
off tho dock now?" I wondered to myselt.
No. Hols actually "bracing" a park Klico
man. Tho gray coat simply Waved him
away with his club. Then, with u cour
ngo born of his uwful need, ho tackled
two olllcers at tho door of tho bargo olllco,
but without success. Ho stood upon tho
Nhlowalk nnd passed his hand wearily
ticross Ids forehead, us If ho was awaken
ing from a dream.
A feeling of curiosity had prompted mo
to follow him, "Does ho need whisky or
bread?" I thought. I determined to find
out, mid so I beckoned him into a dark
corner uroutid tho bargo olllco. Tho fires
of hopo must havo been enkindled lu him,
for two (ears rolled out of his eyes and I
fancied I could hear them full spat I spat I
upon tho stones.
"Aro you hungry?" snld I.
"I didn't eat anything In three days,"

"Are j on dry?"
"No, tdr; (hero'fl wn(cr In (ho path."
"Is jour fnvorlto restainnnt near hv?"
"Yes. sir. Up In (Irecuwlch street'
"Well, como along."
And as wo went toward his restaurant
I pumped him by tho way. 'Tuas n long
and sorrowful story he told. Ills naiiio
wns (leorgo Moore, mid ho was a Cornish
miner.
"Times wns better, sir." i.ntil he, "when
I eamo to this country eight year ngo
Yo see, I hemd (hero uas money to Ihj

Castlo Harden eight jemsapo, with tho
roses In her cheeks and tho light In her
brown eyes, and sho po hopeful, sir, (hat
wo would make a small fortune In u few

Hero ho paused ns If to choke back (he
emotions which wero sweeping over him
like 11 Hood. Then ho continued:
".lust eight jearsago today 'twns. sir

when I was taken sick. Then nil tho
money melted away llko hoar frost. Tho
slcknes.i lasted sl months, and bccauKo
of poor food mid wonkm-Hs tho baby died.
After that things went 011 from bad to
worse, until Nelllo Motioned with tho con
sumption. Then I cursed tho country
and tho mines. Hut It did no good, for
my wifo wont llko (he baby, and sluco

Hero ho stopped, and It seemed to 1110
that ho gathered his falling powers to
gether, ns If ho wero about to givo ex
pression to n great thought. Then ho
bluitivl out:
"An' sho wero a good women, sir, r.u' I
loved herl"
"And what havo you been dolug olnco

"Oh, Just knoekln' around doln' n:i odd

"Why don't you apply to him for nsela
tanceV" said I.
"Hecr.uso I'd dlo nforo ho'd kiiow tho
shapo I'm lu."
Uy tbli tlmo wo had reached tho door
of 1110 of tho'-o modest nnd unconven
tional eating liouscn whero tho ricnu la
painted on a board mid set outsldo tho
door. Wo entered nnd ho rat down r-.t n
(able. Ills unexpected good fortuno had
paralyzed him, mid tho prosjwet of n
sqiinro meal had robbed him of npco?h.
hen tho frowsy waiter r.skcd him what
ho would hi've ho couldn't reply, but sat
gazing at tho waller duinbly'na n slrpn
might look nt Ita exeeutlonerfc. Then I
ordered for him n big dish of vegetable
KOtii). When It wnu placed bcfoio him,
with lslaudj of potatoes, carrot n and n'o
hago limiting In It, (ho bnvory steam arose
and dilated hit) nostrils cud a wolllsli
glaro eamo Into his onion colored eyes.
So famished was ho that, thero being 110
spoo'i handy, ho bulzed u kulfo mid
plunged It into tho mess, mid whllo he
nto thero teemed to bo a lump lu lib
throat which prevented his swallowing
Whllo ho was busy with this dish I or
dered 11 big plato of mast beef, and the
waiter brought two euH which looked us
1 they had been taken from tho forehead
of ll,o critter. This was Hanked by a
illsh of Livuly potatoes, bursting (fjctr
brown Jackets, nnd a bowl of coffco nl
most big enough to tnko n hnlh In.
As Misery gazed upon (his feast, which
in his estimation was plenty good enough
for tho gods who sat upon Mount Olym
pus, his eyes filled ngalnaud this timo'tho
tears fell. When I nskeil for (ho bill tho
proprietor handed mo 11 check for tho 11111
ulliceiit sum of SO cents, which I dibcov
ered was scheduled rates.
"Well, old fellow. I must go," said I,
after settling tho bill, as I reached out
my hand for a parting shako He reached
out n grimy list, and when It left mino
thero was a sliver quarter in his palm.
Ho was just about paying his respects to
tho mast beef, but' this princely gift
choked him up so that ho laid Ids head
upon tho nrm of tho ouco bluo blouse. I
could seo his stoop shoulders heave, mid,
although thero was no sound, thero wero
plenty of signs of mi internal commotion.
a
On Thanksgiving day, n year later, I
was scad'd at a (ablo In a Fourteenth
street restaurant. Opposite to me, at tho
samo table, sat a respect ablo looking man
of about -10 jears. Ho woro a neat suit
of cassimero and was clean mid wholesome
In apiearauco. I noticed during tho
course uf tho meal that ho watched me
very closely, mid Just as I roso (o leave
(ho restaurant ho touched mo on tho
shoulder nud said:
"Kxctiso me, sir, but didn't I havo tho
measure of meet
lug you before?"
"That may bo,"
I roi.llod, "but If
to I havo forgot
ten It."
"Do you re
member mooting
a triilnp last
Thanksgiving day
lu llnUcry Park?"
said ho.
"I do, but why, you canttot possibly
bo that maul"
"Hut 1 am that very chap, and that
squaro meal you gavo mo, lesldes tho sil
ver quarter, put now courago Into 1110 and
I began to pluck up heart. And now 1
am a clerk lu a grocery storo and earning
$10 a week. My luck turned on that sil
ver quarter. I had to part with It once
for n lied, but I persuaded tho hotel
keeper to keep It until I could redeem It."
Ilo nut his lmud lu his pocket mid drew
tho silver ulece. It was uojeket worn, biit
mis
hno tim ring ot tne trim sliver 111 it.

Irnmpnswo slopped nut upon tho hide

His features worked convulsively as ho
continued:
When I resolved to take n new grip
