It Overcsme the Wrath Of ~ Unfeeling
Policeman.


The following pretty story is taken
from the New York Mail and Express,
and is good enough to stand by itself.
He was only an italian fruitcvender.
Their was nothing about him at all like
~ to inspire the beholder with feeling,
one way or another. He was not
ragged enough to call for especial sym
patty, nor unkempt enough to provoke
disgust. Yet to the policeman on his
beat he was undoubtedly tho object of
considerable aversion. This was shown
by the unrelenting vigor with which
the fruit-seller was pursued from cor
ner to corner by the jealous guardian OF
the law.
The other day, in too hurried re-
spouse to the everlasting order 10
"move on" the peddler's cart was upset,
and his peaches and pears were scat
tered over the ground and across the
street car track. The enraged police
man could barely restrain the impulse
to use his club.
1.-THE dirty loafer!" he exclaimed.
He did it on purpose--just trying to
excite sympathy"
"He has succeeded, them" said o soft
voice at the officers elbow, and neat
little woman stopped and began TO
gather up the scattered fruit.
The officers face Redeemed. He hest
tated n moment, and then he, too,
Joined in the work of restoration.
