lIY was elgnU-
cen dollars per week, but because of
the prevailing hard times his income
had been reduced to twelve dollars.
This sum, with some small change,
comprised his cash capital AS he but
toned his coat about his neck he re-
fected ruefuily that this was very
small sum with which to meet his ex-
penses and to buy Christmas presents.
The wind blew briskly down Park
place as he walked toward Broadway,
thinking of the coming rent day, the
empty coal bin and the new dress he
had promised his wife. His thoughts
were saddened as he remembered that
his little boy would hare been nearly
fre years old had he lived until Christ
mas. There was a sense of constric-
ton in his throat as he thought of last
years Christmas tree, bright with
spangles, irradiated with light and
whitened with popcorn balls. Then
against the walls of memory stood out
clear and distinct the figure of bis lit
tie boy standing in his white night
gown in the gray dawn of Christmas
day. with flushed cheeks and eyes
dancing with delight looking at the
marvellous Christmas tree.
On Park row near the corner of
Chambers street there is toy store of
most wonderful variety. Spread out
on the counters are cheap mechanical
c5ntrivances of every conceivable de-
scription. Through the dusty window
panes can be seen boxes of toy soldiers,
jumping jacks, miniature candles,
small plates and saucers, and all those
innumerable little things SO dear to
little persons.
As Thomas came down the street, his
mind intent on his own misery, his gaze
fell upon one of the most pathetic
figures he had ever seen. Before the
window of the toy store stood little
boy, whose nose was fattened against
the pane. His body shivered with the
cold, but his soul was aflame with de-
Sire which was expressed in mis- hungry
eyes. Thomas estimated his age as five
years. He wore an old coat, which had
evidently been made for boy twice
his age. Pins usurped the place of but
tons on the garment. His feet were
thrust into pair of yellow CATERS, as
siduous wear affording excellent but
cruel ventilation. His trousers, held up
by pieces of string, were frayed and
windowed in a manner suggestive of
the fact that the boy had been handled
upon poverty's knee. Thomas took in
hll these details as he stopped beside
the boy snd watched him. The in
durated expression in the little face,
the pinched nostrils, the blue circles

progress, save the principals, umpires,
referee and scorer.
The referee is Mr.. John D. Elwell, of
the Brooklyn club. The umpires are
Mr.. Richard Buz, of the Manhattan
club, for Mrs. Showalter. and Mr.. Wal
ter Frere. of the Brooklyn club, for
Mrs. Worrall.
Mrs. Showalter, the charming wife of
j. w. Showalter, the champion chess
player of America, is only twenty-three
years old, and was challenged by Mrs.
Worrall to play match of seven games
up, draws not counting.
Mrs Worrall ranks high among chess
players and reckons her victories as far
back as the days of the great Paul
Morphy. She and her husband spent
years in Mexico and there, for lack of
other entertainment, the evenings
were generally spent in playing match
games of chess. Mrs. Worral won the
sobriquet of the Mexican Champion"
and in 1866 played several games with
Paul Morphy, receiving from the cham
pion a rook and scoring an occasional
draw
Capt. Mackenzie allowed her pawn
and two moves and she was more sue
cessful. In 1885, at the Manhattan
Chess club, she played a game with
Herr SteinitZ and beat him, he giving
her the odds of n knight. She has
played with varying success against
Mr.. Walter Frere. her umpire, and
Messrs. E. Delmar. Franl<enberg Doyle
and Chaplain Bengless, of the United
States navy.
Mrs. 'Worrall's record in games played
with men ranks her equal to any Of
the second class, while among women
of her skin.
Mrs. Gilbert, Of Hartford, Conn, con-
sidered one of the finest correspondence
players in the world. was vanquished
by Mrs. Worrall without difficulty.
Mrs. Worrallisa 4 quiet. gentle. womanly
woman, with calm eyes and low voice.
When playing she leans back in her
chair. often with one arm thrown over
the back, and the other resting in her
lap. while her eyes fix themselves
steadily on the board. She is a widow
and lives in Brooklyn.
Mrs. Showalter is a kentuckian and
possessed of all the Kentucky woman's
charms.
Don't say that my husband won me
at game of chess said she, when
interviewed, and her big blue eyes
opened wider in her excitement. Let
