The Pathetic Story Mutely Told
by the Two Words "For SALE"
In the great stream of human kind
that constantly surges to and fro
about the Brooklyn bridge occurs
many pathetic scene. One of them
attracted not little attention from
the crowd that pushed and scramble
ed for the stairways during the rush
hours the other afternoon, says the
New York Commercial. A trim little
old woman with a motherly face and
rusty but scrupu!ously neat black
garb wandered sadly back and forth,
leading by short chain a handsome
Irish setter dog. About his neck was
q pretty little silver collar, and from
it hung the mute advertisement
''For Safe" The dog chung closely to
his mistress, his great brown eyes
at times turning to her apealinglY, as
though he knew why they were there
and was pleading to be taken home.
Every line of the sweet old face, the
tidy dress, with its neat patches here
and there, and the faded shawl, q
relic of better times, spoke with elo-
quence of refinement in the past that
lily fitted her for the hard Bullets of
unkind fortune in her last days.
Many a sympathetic glance was be-
slowed on her as the great throng
hurried by, but no purchaser for her
dog stopped to burden her purse at
the expense, as was evident from the
loving caresses she occasionally be-
slowed on her friend, of her affec.
tions
