AN AWAKENING.

IL was two hours past midnight and
a January storm was raging. New
York lay a foot under the snow which
had been falling all day and night only
to give place to an icy rain. The
streets were deserted by all save the
guardians Of the peace. and even they
sought shelter wherever they could,
secure in the belief that on such a
night they were safe from detection
by the chance patrOlman. The clog
ged cutters afforded no outlet, and
rivers OF water ran over the mounds
OF snow and gathered in pools in the
footprints made early in the evening
by huTylng crowds of workers eager
to reach their homes.
At the desk of one of the largest
and most luxurious hotels stood a
young man. fashi0nably attired, lean
ing partly on one arm, with his face
toward the door. Near him stood the
clerk. and they were engaged In that
semi-confidential chat so usual between
men Of their habits. All life in the
vast ear8vansary was hushed under
the dreary. sodden sound OF the rain
as it drove its way into the snow.
Suddenly one Of the doors leading T.
the street swung in a little. and what
seemed but a gray bundle Of wet rags
flashed through and disappeared behind
a huge hall lounge besides he radiator.
Despite the rapidity wiz which it

made no remark. "'Deed, sur, it's true

The young man resumed his struggle
through the snow. The night had lost al
it's terrors for him. His mind absorbed
in the whirl of ideas set in action by thi:
second meeting, left him unconscious o.

and happiness those few pennies hac
brought out of the storm and darkness
and to one who had long been in the habit
of squandering large sums in pleasures
that did not please and amusements that
did not amuse it was a revelation.
Suddenly he stopped. His face turned
unconsciously upward, as though he was
seeking some ray of light out of the black
ness of the heavens. For one moment he
stood so; then his hands went deeper into
his pockets, and his arms came closer tC
his sides. as he started ahead again, with
the quick and firm step Of sudden deter.
