a kettle of boiling water over her head.
The steaming water rippled over her shout

off like cloth from a cheese.
The child's screams of agony brought the
n%eighbors hurrying into the room.
They found the brutal father standing in

his hand.
He was watching his daughter as she lay
writhing In agony on the floor.
The scene was too horrible to contemplate.
Hefreran broke his leg while at work on q
building in Wall street a few months ago.
Since then he has spent his time at homo
drinking.
His employer generously paid him his
wages every week Just as il he was working,
SO he was in no hurry to resume his labors.
Mrs. Hcfferan received some money that
