through his rags, and he was indeed "a

by seemed to pity him. They were
all in hurry. and IL was to cold to
stop and hunt for pennies in pockets
and purses.
A sudden gust OF wind blew the old
mans cap off. IL fell by the side of
the pavement. few feet distant He
felt around for it with his bare led

could not find it, and finally began
playing again, bare headed. with his

none of them paid any attention to the
old man.
BY and by II woman came out OF the
alley an old woman in rags and tat
ters with great bundle OF boards
and sticks on her bent back. Some
of the boards were so long that they
dragged on the ground behind her,
and it had evidently taken her long
time to tie all tae boards and bits of
lumber together and get them on her
back.
She came along, bonding low under
her burden, until she was within few
feet of the old organ-grinder. She saw
his cap lying by the pavement; she
saw him sitting there bareheaded.
She stopped and united the rope
that bound the bundle to her neck. and
in moment the boards were lying on
the ground Then she picked up the
cap. put it on the old man head and
tied it down with a ragged string of "a

He shook his head again.
She fumbled in her ragged skirts
for moment and finally brought
forth a copper. She dropped it into
