that it was not safe to behave so, but
as he did not mend his ways and

AN UNUSUAL SIGHT.


fore Window.
1t was a singularly touching scene.
The busy crowds on Barclay street
stopped laughing, but fingered rever-
entially, says New York Recorder. a
man stood before the window of one of
the big Catholic goods stores. Within
were several life-sze figures Of the
Saviour and in the center sat the Vir-
gin Mary, with the Christ-ohild in her
arms. The man outside stood with his
head barred and slightly bowed. His
hands hung down by his sides. In ono
he held his old cloth cap. His honest,
rugged face was full of homely intelli
gence His clothes were poor. On his
feet he wore the heavy boots of the
street laborer They were gray with
the clay of the trench. But his posture
was noble. His was no ostentatiOus
worship though he chose the crowded
street for his alteration. He did not
bend knee There was only slight
inclination of the big, well-formed
head, just tinged with whitening hairs.
No muttered prayer passed his lips. He
asked no favor OF God or man. His
was the devout worship of an earnest
man unconscious of his surroundings.
And so he stood for full five minutes,
while the jostlng crowds passed him
wonderingly by, surgins gently toward
the curb that they might not by rough
contact disturb his solemn meditations,

refreshments for such an occasion and
according to the custom of the place,
when the subject OF money was

aged gentleman who wore suspended
from his watch guard a gold piece, a
Spanish doubloon, upon which had been
soldered a small ring, He disconnected
it from the chain and passed it around
