LARKY's SONG lNTHE RAIN,

It Was Sunshine to the Little Cripple at
the Upper Window.
The rain continued to fall. There
did not seem to be cutters or anything
in place of them in Kelley's alley and
in consequence the broken flagstones
were all under water and even Mother
McGibbons' old yellow cat was wet to
the skin, says the New York Evening
World. The sun had not shone for no
one knew how long and the sky seemed
to be growing heavier, with a surplus
weight of storm. The wind would burst
into the alley and shake the skeleton
tenement houses until it seemed as if
they would cave in at almost any mo-
ment. There was not drearier slop-
pier or windier place to be found that
day than I<elley's alley. But high and
flooded with melody. 1t was a mans
voice, such as God had given him and
such as Conservatives wot not of. He
did not seem to mind the weather,
though the rain drenched him, the
wind cut through his ragged clothes and
the dull heavens never daunted him.
It was Larry the Lark-at least that
is what the alley children called him.
He had been coming every morning
lately and sung such beautiful things
about sunshine girls, poverty rows and
mothers who were ladies that his
breakfast donation in Kelley's alley
would have been equal to feast day to
the family on the top floor, rear. The
storm increased, but Larry grinned up
at the windows and his CHEEKY voice
mounted higher and higher, until you
would have almost thought the sun
shone. And just then the song ceased.
The big blue-coated, brass-buttoned
terror of Kelley's alley appeared. He
walked up to Larry, caught him by the
| collar and marched him unceremoni-
ously out of the yard. At an upper
window a child leaned her head upon
her crutches, sobbing, and the day grew
gray again.
