Hello. NAH baby! Hello. nah honey!
Hello, NAH ragtime girl!
In the twinkling of an eve pande-
monium reiSned In the sewing room
of st. Agatha'S mission. twenty-five
small girls dropped fels. French
seams and buttonholes in wild rush
for the open windows and their first
love-the street piano man.
Their pretty teacher was far too ten
der hearted to stem the hegtra. So
little music could come into the lives
of these Stun children. Why deny
them this pleasure? SO she quietly
gathered up the scattered pieces OF I'M
bleached muslin, smiling as she softly
hummed the air which came changing
and clanking from the street below.
"O-ee-Miss Grace-come an see.

The Italian displayed his small.

children, crowding upon the fire es-

he had heard of them. They lived
on the avenue. They wore furs and
violets, and always they gave their
pupils for the street musicians nick
ell, perhaps even dime.
Grace Byrne slipped ten pennies into
the hands of as many eager girlies,
then leaned over their wriggling, ex-
cited little figures to catch glimpse
of the extra attraction. In the center
of q gaping circle was a well built
fellow from her own walk of life-a
carefully groomed chap, too, he was,

gray trousers, silk hat and modish
gloves. And he was dancing, actually
dancing to that frightful ragtine mu-
sic. A loud guffaw rose from the cir
Gle of slum denizens, and Grace leaned
farther out the window, to the dis
comfort of herself and several smaller
forms whose owners would not give
way even for teacher"
Hello! Hellow screamed the piano
in final triumph. The young man
stopped dancing, whipped his polished
hat from his shapely head and DELHI
erately held 1t toward the gaping,
laughing crowd.
"Oh, teacher, give US some more pen
nies-quick! See, he's goin' away, an
he's so funny! Jes' couple, please!
But Grace had stumbled back to her
table and was sitting there now, with
her white face half hidden in her slen-
der hands.

and pallor, settled quietly to their
