i In. town the other day I |
saw two bright young girls |
about 16 and Is years oiage,
who had walked eight miles1
in the bitter cold to t,eR food
for the family. The younger
wore a pair ofcoarse cowhide
brogaus many sizes too large;
the oters feet were protected
by ragged cloth shoes, while
both were meanly and insult
ficently clad. Their bent, shiv
ering forms, pale and drawn
faces, blue lips and sunken
eyes told q tale Of suffering
that must have melted t h e
heart OF a Spa nish butcherer.
The mother lay sick un I o

other little ones. They ap-
piled to the Z. L. AS. for

these children on their way
homeward. 1t was on a bitof
break road, where t h e icy
wind had a sweep Of miles,
and it cut like q scalpel. The
little one suffered terribly; she
looked up to his sisters face,
oh, so piteously. The brave
sister stopped aud kissed her.
