which are now deserted. Ths busy ihrong
which hss svsps ihs shooushisrss until late
1t night, has ceased to Gov, ed he gssas
saeiscpoIis no longer throbs iss living tide
through he accussomed Arteries. The snow
has been falling fast for M hour, and tie
sharp gusiy wiad sweeps round the corner
end goes waiiing down sl,s dim avenues, a.
u sorowing for human wos. The lamp
lights sIsam psle and sickiy sut through the
storm. The policemen, OF some rsveIes,
and The winds, alone disturb the silence that

ly fumes ascend in darkness Of the night -
Down below the sasfaos Of the eanh, sre
pits. wtsrs the rufIianly and the vile are al
their rsveis. There is faint, deadly glare
from the dirty windows, and in spite of the
w.ntry blast, an occasional breath ofthe run
hell fseking beneath. And then there oflsn
comes up some startling he !ha! 10 miugls
with The shrieking Of the wind.
Here Is dark alley, scarce wide enough
10 admit pssson, running back whore no
light breaks in upon the impeneisabIe dark
ness. The foot strikes step and We climb
upward upon creaking figh. Of stairs.-
The snow and wind whiil fisfcely over The
roof and shake the crazy structure 10 its
foundation, but we lean closer 10 the wslls
and mount upward.
Five stories up, and we stand upon the
narrow platform and peer down with a whir-
ling brain intdohs black oeean below. Tur-
ming into ansnow hall We stand before a
shattered door, revealing feeble light with.
10. Even in this winter night, the miasma
Of pollution Goats through the building like
pesiiience.
What scene, as we enter that chamber
Hers poverty and want reign in their gAos,ly
loneliness and solitude. The silence of des-
oisiion broods over all, and the FAINT lamp
light flicksring to its wane, is like the beam
which creeps mp from the exhaltalions of the
grave. There is not a coal in the graie, nor
chair in the room. The gusts Of wind
siit the snow through the cracks by the door,

imagination and mingles football with ev-
cry gust that raitles the shattered door.
