Gave Him Plenty of Room.

Americans haven't much reputation
for veneration and in the general
scramble are not noted for courtesy to
one another, but one day recently, when
the mercury suddenly fell off thirty
points and the wind was tripping along
at the average rate Of fifty to sixty miles
an hour, and two or three times faster
in spots, there was witnessed scene on
crowded Broadway near the postoffcc
that reversed all of this. An honest.
sober, upright workman passed along.
and the courtesy with which he was
treated on all sides spoke volumes fol
American peliteness.
No matter how roughly the icy wind
played with the mob, the individual
members of the latter bowed right and
left to this honest workman. He was
bowlegged and dirty too. They nigh.
jostle each other, but not him. For he
carried a pane of glass about IS inches
wide and 5 feet long. And the wind &C.
casionally caught it and shield it, shining
and shifting in the sunshine, to one side
and the other, and sent its nervous bear.
er swing around in the vicious eddies,
filing his eyes with dust, as if intent
upon first confusing and then breaking
him up in business.
The polite crowd parted before him
like the billowy sea before Cunarder
then fell together gurgling in his wake
to tremble at what might have hap
pened. 1t is doubtful if a workingman
ever before cut SO wide swath Oh
Broadway. 1t was actually fascinating
to watch his progress and to speculate
into how many thousand fragments a
single misstep might cause the glass tc
be divided. All the business world
stood still for a minute to see him pass.

into Morenito's palm the petals of her
lilies and roses, which in falling turned,
each leaf, into a piece of money, and
which caused him such joy that he
rubbed his eyes and sat up; and To-!
from one of his hands-oh, wonderful
miracle!-a white piece escaped and fell
with silvery ring to the stones.
He could believe neither eyes nor ears
at first. He stopped and raised it. II
was beautiful, new and shining five
peseta piece! The virgin, then, had not
deceived him! She had told him the
truth-he could go to the corrida on
Easter morning!
One leap and he was down the steps
and running with all his legs for the
Plaza de Toros.
Suddenly, as he turned the corner OF
the Gale San Pablo, he ran against a
young girl of the Triana faubourg, whom
he had known since childhood, and who
was called La Chata. She was pale and
sad, and her great black eyes were full
of tears.
"What is it, Chata-what is it?" de.
manded Juanito quickly; "tell mel'
''My mother" responded she, sis i'll,
for two days and nights now, have
neither eaten nor slept. The doctor
came this morning and ordered new
remedies, and am going to the botica
now; though it is useless to go, the
druggist will give me no more credit.
What shall I do, Juanito? What shall
do? IF the bells ring for her, they will
ring for me too--for l will not survive
her!'
Morenito stood pensive moment, his
luminous gaze plunged deep into the wet
eyes of the weeping Chata; then brusque.
ly he drew the white piece from his
pocket, the miraculous five peseta piece,
and pressed it into the hand of his little
friend.
''Take it, nina mia," said he; 'stake
this money; it came to me from the vir-
gin de la Esperanto, and the bonita
madre will not be vexed if use it to
cure thy mother"
La Chata was so overjoyed that she
did not stop for word of thanks, but
ran without turning to the druggists
shop.
Truly it was written that Morenito
should not go to the Easter bull course.
But as there are always compensations
in this world he did not on that account
pass a less gay Sunday.
On that day Chata's mother was bet.
ter, and the young girl came to the pc.
sada court to find and thank him for the
service that he had done them. She had
also made for herself festival garment,
and with the rest of the Blessed Virgins
money bought two blood red roses fo1
her raven tresses, and then she and Mo-
renito had gone to stroll along the Quad
alquiver under the Towering orange
trees of the Alameda.
Spring had put know not what flame
in Chata's black eyes, and perhaps, too
tender sentiment had lent its aid to
this illumination. I only know that
when they found themselves in a Sc
cluded corner formed by the myrtle
thickets, the young girl brusquely threw
her arms around Morenito's neck with a
frank:
81 love thee, comrade!'
And that while the bells rang out the
carols for the Easter service, the lips OF
these two children tasted their first kiss
