he gave thanks was very hoarsc. One
might have expected music like a
crows from him. yet he began Il ballad
quite tuncfully.
Suddenly he trippcd in the melody,
and Anne saw that something had
startled him. Following his glance,
she beheld the young tenor coming
along Tenth street westward. He saw
the beggar when within 20 yards of
the Broadway corner and seemed to
have an impulse to avoid him. Then,
like the good Samaritan, he decided
not 10 pass by on the other side.
AS he came up the beggar stopped
singing.
"Well, Mr.. OMara," said the young
man checrily, ''how's the luck today"
"Bad-vcry bad, your honor" re-
Piled the bcggar. "Ah, I'll never see
the likes of that day on Sixth avcnoo,"
"Oh yes, you will" was the reply.
"Rut, | say, what's the matter with

Crowded close to the curb Of Sixth
avenue in the New York shopping dis
trict sat a bcggar man on rickcty
camp stool. He seemed to be 60 years
old, but the poor age rapidly He
might have been much younger. \
chilly wind went hurryng up the ave-
nue., and it tossed the old mans white
hair about his ears as he took off his
battered hat and laid it appcalingly in
his lap.
On that side Of the thorOughfare the
breeze and til" crowd were moving in
the same direction. and they seemed to
take about equal heed of the bcggars
plight Presently l." began to sing an
old time, sentimental ballad in Il veal

and the electric cars contributed the
rattle of their wheels ami the whining
Whir of their motive machinery, but
the bcgGar WAS not to be discouraged
by discordant accompaniment or an
unsympathctic audience. He sang his
best despite all.
There was Il pretty girl in the crowd
who had an ear attuncd to everything
musical SHE recognized some merit in
the bcg@ar's singing, and she paused to
hear him. No one else paid the slight
est attention to his music, and he re-
ccivcd no aims until. just as the song
was done, a robust and handsome

fish for coins in the small pocket in his
ovcrcoat.
BUT the bcggar FASTENED to explain
that it wasn't Il penny. What he had
meant to .ay was that he hadn't had n
penny before that.
"Sing another song as well as you
sang the last one and I'll give you
quarter" said the young man.
This colloquy had excited some at.
tention, and score of people were
prepared to earn his fee. lie sang

he came to the chorus his bcnefactor
supplied a tenor that was clear and
sweet as the note of flute.
The duet furnished by this strangely
assorted pair would have found favor
with a much more critical audience,
but it was probably the unusual spec
tacle rather than the excellence of the
music which impressed this knot of
shopping women. The result, in the
beggars hat, must have been nearly
81, for the pretty girl who has been
already mentioned enthusiastically
started the collection with half.
The bcggar, evidently realizing that
he had, as the slang phrase goes,
struck good thing, hastily started
another old time negro melody, and
as he did so he looked up out of the
corner of his eye at the real cause Of
his prosperity, but the young man
seemed to feel that he had attracted
more attention than was agreeable.
and he prepared for flight.
At this moment however, he caught
the eye of the pretty girl, and its
glance was bent upon him appcalingly.
