Ruskin,i it has been sad, affirms that a
fish is freer than man and that fly
is a black incarnation OF freedom.
Young Jerry Kennedy had never heard
of Mr.. Ruskin, but he took largely of
such incarnated freedom and though his
ancestors hailed from Dublin, he was
The freest of young Am rican wage
earners.
He was an orphan of Is, WHO had no
relative but a poor little sister stunted
by an ugly fall in her babyhoOd and
whose only mode of exercise was in
Jerry's arms.
His position in a New York dry-goods
house was small one, but sufficient to
the needs of himself and Sarah in their
small, back room.
H unconsciCusiy lived up to the max
i'm that conten,ment is found IN Few
wants rather than in great wealth. Al
Ter n.gaufall Sarah had many a trip
down Broadway in Jerrys arms with
peeps into the shop windows.
Some boys would have considered Jer-
rvs LOT a bad one. The window draper
whom Jerry worked under was called a
hard man.
Il could not be said that Jerry's over
seer had no cause ior fault-tnding,

But one day Jerry's dream among tina
waXens figures came rudely TO an end.
Late one Saturday. when they wers
re-dresslng the window, Jerry, a littla
TOO careless in his hurry. made a So
move and had the misfortune to topple
over the beloved Mrs. P.nkeye. who i'm
m-diately turned into horr.fv.ng frag-
ments before his eyes. He looked at
her poor, cracked face and shiyerad She
must have cost a great deal.
And shs had been so faithful.
He was heart broken.
1t seemed rather carelessness 10 the
window draper, and, in the end. cost
Jerry his situation.
AS he trudg,d 10 Sarah that night his
brave heart was full Of sorrow over poor
Mrs. Plnkeye. The iun truth OF his own
misfortune did not dawn upon him I'M
I'll then.
They were both very sober. and felt in
Mrs. PinkOye they had lost their best
friend.
Her waxen virtues however, were
destined to play a strong part in the fu-
ture of these two.
Two gentlemen stood in 'front.' Of
Broadway shop window which held, in
spite of the wind and rain. a number OF
pedestrians.
Window draping has become an art IN
these days and the Lights on the hand
some silks and soft laces made the pic
ture one of artistic beauty.
One o. the TWO gentlemen smoking
their after-dinner cigars was interested
in the forms Of two children with faces
pressed close to the. drilling window.
The elder was a boy who held wrapped
from the weather in a coat double his
size. a little, eager-faced girl. No detail
escaped her hungry eye.
There. there you can see her now. I
know its her poor, tired body, and they
have braced her up with new head.
