rascal. What were you hanging
around my house for?'' said a gentle
man, eXcitedly shaking his fist at poor,
forlorn-looking old man, who was hur-
rying away as fast as his feeble limbs
would allow. The gentleman was
standing on the piazza of his residence,
opposite one of the small Brooklyn
parks, and timidly shrinking behind
him were three young ladies. 1t was
in the early evening, and the circum-
stances and woe-begone expression on
the old mans face attracted the atten-
ton of passer-by.
"What is the matter?" he asked the
old man.
"That gentleman thinks I'm thief,

three young ladies who were singing

startling expression to her companions.

into the hall and cried: PA, there's a

The first acquaintance of Queen Vic.
toria with Sir Moses Montefiore, the
venerable Hebrew philanthropist, dates
back from about the year 1884, when, as
Princess Victoria, she was residing al
Ramsgate with her mother, the Duchess
of Kent. The Princess and her mothel
being tired of the public walks and
annoyed at the staring to which they
were exposed, were anxious to find
some private gardens to which they
could have access occasionally, in order
to take their walks privately. Sir Moses
Montefiore, hearing of their wish, sent
them polite message saying that his
grounds at East Cliff Lodge were at then
disposal. AT the same time he sent
golden pass-key of his private gate as
present to the youthful Princess, who
probably then received her earliest i'm
prsssions of sympathy with the people
of whom Sir Moses was so excellent
specimen.
