Recently in New York some one in 9
crowd of roughs struck a poor woman
with a stone. breaking her arm. The
missile had been thrown at random.
and the blame could not be fastened
on any individual member of the
gang" Besides physical suffering
the accident brought helplessness and
grief to the unfortunate victim. Fol-
years she had struggled to maintain
a payment OF twenty-five cents week
TO company which. in return. insured
her decent burial. But deprived of the
means of earning even the scantiesi
wages, It appeared as though her long
fight had been in vain, and that her
body would lie in the potter's field
This alone was matter OF the deep
est regret. Shortly after the accident
she was evicted by her landlord. She
was. however. rescued from the aims
house by neighbors poor as herself
"And now,' says the person who dis
covered her. every week one Of the
gang brings her out of his scanty
wages the quarter, that alike insures
her peace OF mind and the undisturbed
rest of her body in its long sleep, which
life OF toll has pictured to her as the
greatest of earth's boons.r A young
man capable of this fine act of repara-
tion has qualities that ought some day
to put him In position superior to
the low environment by which he is
