sERGrANT's MUsrcAr. GUEST.


There is a police station in this
CRY in which there is a piano, not
weak, broken-backed instrument, but
a Hoppe grand The policemen are
very proud Of their musical pet, ana
all who visit the station--that is. all
who can play-have to render a selec-
ton. A few nighss ago, while 1t was
showing hard. man applied for a
nights lodging. He was a miserable
waif of humanity Of the genus tramp
He stood shivering in his ragged
clothes, his pinched face blue with
cold, while his eyes had the dull. sick
look of a man who had not tasted food
for many hours.
AS the turnkey was leading him
back to his cell the mans glance fell
on the shining grand, where it stood
in the corner
Let me try it" he asked, pleadingly.
The sergeant nodded and settled back
in his chair, expecting to hear a one
handed performance of Rosie O'Gra-
dy." The waif opened the lid of the
piano. HIS eyes were full of a great
joy. 1.-The first time in months" he
said, as he ran his hands over the
keys. Then he commenced the pre-
lude TO "LOhengrin," diverting into
the song of The Evening Star" His
hands flew over the keys with the
power, the precision, the expression OF
master. The sergeant sat up. An
other prisoner, a homeless woman
stood transfixed. her hands convulsive-
Il ~
ing down her cheeks. The master
tramp played on. Finally he arose, and
with a satisfied expression, gently
closed the lid Then he departed with
the turnkey, leaving the sergeant tC
ruminate on the mysteries Of every
day Philadelphia Times.
