A New York Herald reporter wns
taking "a modest chop" in a Sixth

women came in and sat near him

transpired from their conversation.
The head-waiter. an aged colored
man, had already attracted tho notice
of the reporter, and was now cycling
the young women with peculiar inter-

He stopped abruptly and looked at
the girl who was staring al him.

''Why, that was my mother"

the old man.
The girl held out her hand to hin.

tears springing to her eyes. She al

The girl was looking at him stead

The old man leaned on chair for a
moment; then the habits of lifetime
came to his aid; he took dish from
the waiter as he came up. although
his hands still shook little
I'm wait on these ladies'" he said.
and then gave some directions about
another part of the room. He caught
the proprietor's eye fixed reproyingly
on him; but he meantto wait on those
ladies if it cost him his place.
Pretty soon he brought in some dish
that had not been ordered.
There is nothing here fit for you,
missy" he said in an UNDERGONE; lis

nodded.

favor" he continued and with an at
tempt at a smile he took himself off to
little distance. and stood waiting
their call.
As the reporter was putting on his
coat he heard the Southern girl say.
Il suppose he would rather never have
seen me at all, than to see me here
like this But the reporter believed
that she was wrong in that opinion.
