Il don't know who be is" remarks
morgue attache, 'but Tn sure he's some
body" which remqrk seems to give him
great de | of comfort.
On another slab lies young girl who
must have been beautiful once. 1t is not
necessary to ask why she is here. Her face
and form show the cause and yet there Is
so uething about her that causes one TO look
at her the second time. The bad has faded
out of sight.
Come ON, " the morgue keeper says, I'VE
have lots of them here
And so the round is made. A woman
here, man there; some from the river,
some from the streets, some who have died
in tensments and some who have died IN
hospitals.
In one corner is a fair haired baby less
than a year old, A drunken father aud a
drunken mother and the rest is easily told
or imagined.
The morning sun steals in and shines on
the golden hair of the child and lights up
its sweet, pale face, and even the rugged
morgue employe is touched.
"It's as though God smiled omit he says,
in his own tough way, and rubbing his hard
hand over his eyes he passes on, while the
sun still shines lovingly on the dead Guilds
face.
But the morgue has early visitors
too. And very sad visitors they are as a
rule.
A gray-haired old woman stands patiently
at the gate above the city's deadhOUse until
she can see the good-hearted keeper of the
morgue.
rs she herew she says in simple sort of
way when she sees hin.
"WhoP asks the morgue keeper kindly.
''Whog' is the fierce response. who
but me daughter! / was told I'd find her
here after while Is she herel Oh, tell
me 4 sue is" and the woman's voice be-
comes plaintive.
"Come in and see, my poor woman" says
the kindly keeper, and he leads her in very
gently.
She scans every pale face that is exposed
and turns back with a sad siga.
''She's not here vet, sir, she says to the
keeper, but she'll meet me here some
timar
Other visitors follow ono after another.
A tall, sim-faced man calls to say he be-
lieves that a young man in whom he has
taken an interest is here. He stalks through
the morgue without a word, besto wing but
a careless glance on all the bodies until he
stops, suddenly, whore a handsome youth
with bullet-hole in his forehead lies. For
moment he staggers.

THE DEAD HOUSE.

Tie orav dawn was Just breaking in the
east and had begun to sweep the shadows
off the high walls of Bellevue hospital when
Teutered the dead house.
TIE drip! dripl dripl OF water falling on
the white faces, was the only sound that
broke the solemn stiffness. 1t is monOto-
mons. but the dead mind it not, nor does
the keeper who snoozes comfortably in
the entrance. The river gurgles and flows
under the morgue, and meanwhile the
dead sleep on but the keeper is to be awak-
ened.
heavy football arouses him, and he
starts up. 1t is a hospital attache who
has awakened him. There is a rough greet

With these men, to die sis to go over

their conversation has no friends who will
prevent his burial in Potter's field. But
such matter is so common that the
keeper merely turus away to attend to
some duty, and the hospital attache goes
his way
A few minutes later the water is drippi e
above another white face. 1t is the face of
the man who went over the line little
after midnight
Such is an early morning scene on a dull
day at the New York molgue. 1t is a pre-
! de to what is to follow. For the New
York morgue is very busy place as a rule
from daylight until midnight, and some
times from daylight of one day until day
light Of tie nexJ. l. is business like place
too. There is a system and method about
its management, and it is necessary that il
should be conducted on business principles.
Some 1000 men, women and children W o
"crosS the linen pas through the morgue on
their way to Potter's field every year.
More than that number who de on the
streets, in Bellevue or some other place sud-
denly, are sent here, and are emoved
afterwards by friends. The morgue is red
olent OF mysteries some of which have
been solved and some Of which have not
been.
The morgue is democratic Men rich and
distinguished have suddenly disappeared
from the whirl of affairs in the great city
OF New York. They have afterwards been
found in the city's dead house whence they
have been dragged from the river or the
streets, lying side by side with some I'M
known pauper, who has died from drink,
and who is on his way to Potter's field.
And it has never been known that the drip,
drip, of the water above the marble slabs
mas made any distinction between the rich
and the poor.
If anyone doubts that death is leveler
OF almost all things let him visit the morgue.
Inc morgue is MOI attractive, but it is the
one place in New York where the pauper
can rest free at any hour.
