Mamma looked where Arthur's big
blue eyes were fixed with an express
sion of surprise.
At the corner of the street sat an old
man in faded blue uniform; the sun
beat down on his bowed head and white
hair; with his one arm, he YEARLY
turned an old hand organ. ornamented
with the picture 81 battle. on his
neck hung card bearing the inscrip-
tion: Pity an old soldier but to-h9g
the people were too busy for pity, 50
they passed on.
Yes Arthur" answered mamma,
but before She had time to give Arthur
the coin She was reaching for. he had
dropped her hand and was pushing his
way through the crowd. his face flushed.
his eyes sparkling with indignation, his
beautiful basket lifted high above his
head. The crowd separated for mo-
ment TO watch with curious eyes the
pretty little lad. with the cloud of
golden hair. Swiftly he ran, never
faltering until he reached the aged
figure bent over the hand organ. then
his sweet, childish voice was heard,
clear and ringing, even above the
noises Of the street: There, old sol
der, he cried, take ny flowers
everybody is forgetting you cause
you're not dead, but my flowers are for
you, and he placed his beautiful
basket in the old mans trembling hand.
Then the people who had heard be-
gan 70 cheer, and pressed around to
throw money in the little tin cup, and
10 catch a glimpse of the boy. An Of
ticer, with golden epaulettes and clash
ing sword lifted Arthur up in
his strong arms that every
body might see him, bidding
him hold out his blue velvet cap,
which was soon filled with gold and
silver pieces. Arthur was not bit
frightened. but laughed and smiled, not
understanding it all, except that the
poor soldier looked happy now and was
TO have all the money in his cap.
When at last mamma came up through
the crowd to see what il all was, the Of
ficer returned him to his mother sarms
saying: I'm the name Of a nation,
thank this little boy, who has not for
gotten the soldier who lives for the
sake of the soldier who is dead

There is something in Webster that reminds me of Victor Hugo. There Is the same confusion at times of what is big with what is great the same fondneSs for the merely spec tacular. the same inscnsibility to re pulsive details, the same indifference to the probable or even to the nat ural. the same leaning toward the grotesque, the same love of effect at whatever cost, and there is also the same impressiyeness of result What ever other effect Webster may pro duce upon us, he never leaves us in- different We may blame, We may criticise, as much as we will; we may say that all this ghastiiness is only a trick of theatrical blue light; we shudder and admire nevertheless.
