CURED.
Harry reused sufficiently to give di-
rections, but Immediately sank back
almost fainting.
Mr.. Mayo suddenly exclaimed, as. if
thought had struck him which was
very surprising:
II believe the boy is starving" and
he stopped the hack in front of res
taurant and ordered a glass of milk,
glass of sherry and some brandy
and water. the only things he could
think of just then.
The hackman said, dryly:
THAT amt no fifteen stuff fur folks
whut's starvin! The milk'n do, but
bread and meats whut he needs"
well, bring them,' and generous
supply was brought forth. :
A slow smile dawned on the face
of the gentleman as the child ate.

Harry's appetite appeased, they
proceeded.
Mr.. Mayo scanned the addresses on
the letters which he had taken.
'Mary Derwent-sounds familiar,
somehow"
They arrived at the mean tenement,
and Harry asked Mr.. Mayo upstairs.

New Year in Persia, Etc.

New Years day in Persia is cele-
brated much as our Easter is. Fancy
eggs are sent as presents. The was
sail cup is feature of the day
throughout all Europe. At every
country house in Russia there is L
feast and procession in honor of the
occasion. Horses, sheep, cows and
hogs are dressed with garlands and
led to the landlords house The
idea is that the animals shall be
taken into the dining-room, but
when the landlord has a handsome
ly furnished apartment and does
not care to have it ruined he sets
aside some other room and allows
the mob to take possession of it.

They crossed the upper hall, which
was dimly lighted by a poor lamp
and Harry opened the door to the
darkened, cherries room. By the
faint light from the lamp they could
distinguish the two dropped figures
by the empty stove.

Mr.. and Mrs. Derwent could not

at last, and in a broken voice tried to
speak his thanks.
"Why, haven't you a light?" in
quired Mr.. Mayo.
"Oh, sir" said Harry, who had re-

light of a stray sunbeam shone
through it's ruby depths. A long

rooIA were a mother and her three
