Pencils" story they Clipped in and
set the blind man up in business. And
when they passed him at the foot of
the IL" stairs they thrust their hands
deeper in their empty pockets and as
sumed the airs of promoters.
Pencils" lived in a miserable hole
of room and made shift for himself
as best he could until that glorious day
when homely, shabby little cripple
came down to the tenement, and ask
ing for his room went in, built fire
in the >ramshackle stove, and, filling
a brand-new kettle she had bought,
had it soon singing on the fire.
Several ladies of the section came
in to ask If the morals of the tene-
ment were to suffer. But the little
seamstress, with simplicity and dig
nifty told them who she was, that she
had known and loved Pencils" at the
asylum, and that she had come to
marry him and take care of him.
When pencils" came tap-tapping to
his poor home that night, expecting a
cold supper, he was met at the door
by motherly, outstretched hands. He
was dried at a glowing fire, and cup
of fragrant tea was handed him. And
while, dazed and happy, he slipped the
comforting drink, the little shabby
woman outlined her plan.
And now dawn poor, blind PEN
ellis golden days. The little cripple
nobly fulfilled her mission. The sew
ing she did late into the night brought
in the money to make them quite COM

polder, he attempted to cross the
crowded thoroughfare just in front OF

The little crippled seamstress sewed
on alone for few days. But the in
centive for work was gone. She grew
more and more reticent. She kept her
door locked and was often heard talk

"She's not right" was the verdict

be kind to her, but she shrank more
and more within herself.

MUSHROOMS AS FOOD.
Chemists aud Doctors DifTer Greatly as
to Their Value.

A great deal has been said concern
ing the immense amount of valuable
food which was daily going to waste
in the shape of edible fungi, says the
London Family Doctor. We are told
that in many parts Of the world these
articles form the staple articles of diet
Of the inhabitants. Our attention has
been called to the natives of Patagonia
and Terra del Fuego who are said to
be of gigantic stature, and to exist
principally on vegetable fungi, and to
certain African tribes who value
mushrooms so highly that one of them,
the polyporus sacer, is worshiped as
god. Chemists have assured us that
mushrooms belong to the animal rather
than the vegetable kingdom, seeing
that they possess a larger percentage
of nitrogen than any other class OF
vegetable life, They are, we are told,
essentially protein in composition, as
much so, pound for pound, as butchers
meat Two German scientists, Roll
brausch and Zlegel, stated some years
ago, as a result of chemical investiga-
ton, that mushrooms deserve to be
placed with meat as sources of nitrog-
enous nutriment. One man in Thur
ingia is said to have lived upon notn-
ing but mushrooms for thirty years,
and to have died centenarian. Com
parison has even been made between
mushrooms and other articles of food
to the detriment of the latter. Thus
chemical analysis has shown mush-
rooms to contain from 20 to 20 per
cent of protein, while bread only con-
tains per cent, potatoes 5 per cent,
and barley meal per cent OF protein.
Against this, however we have the
opinion of a DR.. Kitcheper, who in
1924 stated in a publication called
Cooks Oracle" that he did not be-
lieve that mushrooms were nutritious.
DR.. Jonathan Pereira, in his Treatise
on Food and Diet" published in 1S43,
said: Mushrooms are difficult of di-
gestion, and on certain constitutions
act injuriously." Invalids, dyspeptics
and those with delicate stomachs will
act prudently in avoiding the use Of
this doubtful order of foods. Other
writers have expressed similar opin-
ions, not, however, based On expert
mental work, and therefore they are
not absolutely reliable.

PENCILSAN HIS WIFE

The shabby little crippled seamstress
who lived on the top floor of the back
tenement at - East Seventeenth
street did not look like a heroine of
a romance, but for all that she was
one.
When Pencils" the blind man who
stood patiently through heat and
snow and rain at the foot of the
Third avenue 81" steps, thought of her
goodness and kindness to him the
heart under his old faded, patched coat
beat like a trip-hammer. I-
Pencils" was wont to beguile the
time between trains by thinking of
his romance. 1t helped him to bear
the broiling heat, the nipping cold,
or the pelting rain. The people who
hurried past him never so much as
dreamed that the blind pauper stand
ing there, timidly proffering his wares,
knew what the word meant.
But Pencils" never wearied OF
thinking Of the little woman who had
made for him the only CLEAN of sun
shine he had ever known.
of a blind asylum. There were mil
lions back OF it, and stewed prunes
for supper.
When Pencils" weary and sick of
stewed prunes, asked for fresh apple
sauce, there was chaos and consterna-
ton in the institution. No such re-
volt has been on record since oliver
Twist asked for more.
The end of it was that Pencils" was
cast forth and told to shift for himself
There was a little crippled seam
stress sewing in the lnen-room-a
homely shabby. little creature, indus
trious and reticent. The story drifted
up to the linen-room, and when Pen
ellis" was slowly tapping his way down
the stems of the asylum for the last
time and vaguely wondering what was
to become of him some one pulled his
sleeve, slipped a bill in his hand, and
whispered an address and name to
him.
Go there" said the voice. They
are friends OF mine and they will be
kind to YOU"
1t was the little seamstress. Pen

wretched tenement to which he was
directed opened its doors to him with
that beautiful hospitality only to be
