Haunted by II Picture.

As we turned to go was struck by some
thing familiar in the face of girl who sat
beside a hopeless companion, a Bible on her
lap. She wore a white apron; her soft au
burn hair was brushed simply back from
her smooth white brow She was evident
ly one of the reclaimed, an inmate of the
mission, and was now trying to soften the
heart OF the wretched creature with whom
she talked. Where had seen her before?
A picture rose suddenly before my mind
day in the June previous when had seen
this same girl, then a spectacle of married
beauty, clothed in bedraggled silk, a FASH
ionablc hat, muddy and crushed, upon her
dizzily swaying head. She was the center
of Il curious crowd in the shopping district
on Sixth avenue and the peculiar object of
interest to a big policeman, who despite
her terrifying, maudlin profanity, was ell
deavoring to lead her Oh.
To see her there in the Florence mission
left a feeling of hope after the nights ex-
periences that was like a ray of light in a
charnel house.
Miss Eve made but one remark rs we
went homeward. She lifted her chin from
her fur collar and sighed.
''She was so pretty-that little girl"

Brown supporters expected large score

But the Brown team is made OF

first hall was repetition of the former
game with Harvard, neither side scoring.
Both teams showed an Improvement since
they met before and had not Harvard
entered fresh players for the second half,
the score would doubtless have been dif-

fensive game, the line standing like
wall against Harvard's attacks. The
