and thrillinger.
Suddenly the silence broke with a
loud report.
A stealthy football sounded on the
sidewalk. An aged and decrepit figure
pushed his way with difficulty out of the

him. A closer inspection revealed the
fact that he walked with a crutch. One

carried his arm in q sling.

moment started after it.
Another figure joined the first one.

one. Its clothes were tattered, and it's
shoes run down at the heels. It also
had a black eye. So black it was plainly
visible, as it shone in bold relief against
the Styglan darkness.
And still no sound. Not a murmur.
Two more figures approached. They
were also lame. One walked with a

spawned.

A movement is ON foot in England,
fostcrcd by u group Of noble ladies in
tcrestcd in the subject, to protect bar
maids as to their hours of labor. 1t is
estimated that there are 100. 900 young
women in London in licensed houses
who work from - 10 IS hours day on
weekdays and from seven to nine hours
ON Sundays, with one Sunday off in
each month. Surely when Sd much is
said about an eight hour day for men
these young women ought not to be for
gotten. They :ind a haven of rest in
their brief intervals Of leisure at the
Morley rooms, established by the latc
Mr.. Samuel Morley and now under the
superintendent Of Miss c. NJ. Cough.
Here barinaids ont of work can stay,
paying a very small sum for board and
lodging. But the social part of the
work is the most valuable. Barmaids
are brought into contact with ladies of
education and refinement. The rooms
arc used for reading. writing. music,
conversation, rest and advice, and books
are lcnt from an excellent library
