BY the uniform and by the orders
you recognize a royal personaEe.
The King" he tells you simply.
All, the Joy of It! Here is a man
who can live. who can thrive and be
happy-on a memory!
And now will you look at his birds
and flowers?
He will speak quite freely OF his wife
Julia, the mythical companion of his
old age
MY wife Julia-she like always a
bouquet in the window he tells you.
The bouquet is there-white roses
always-with perhaps touch of scar
let geranium. Each evening the vase
containing the flowers is carried up
stairs and is placed on a small ebon-
ized table beneath a picture. The room
is richly furnished vastly different
from its present state); the floor is
carpeted, the bed is carved, the hang
ings are Of silk and null.
1t is the room of his wife, Julia, he
will tell you; but you must not enter.
She is not here now, she is away. You
will come again perhaps, and may meet
her.
You draw back with unexpressed del
icacy. Is this, too, memory, even
more sacred than the other, you ask
yourself, or is it but vagary?
You return to the shop. You observe
now that his coat is threadbare. Can
1t be that he experiences poverty in
the midst of luxury? You long to drop
coin on the counter; but his glance
forbids. You have had your entertain-
ment, will you now insult your host?
You express your thanks in words.
He bows profoundly. He opens the
door to let you out. AS you pause by
the window moment you observe him
back at his brasses, a contented smile
on his lips.
from his.
But a tragedy is to be enacted in
this little shop, tragedy none the
less bitter because it is commonplace.
1t is the tragedy of poverty that must
in time do violence to the old mans
dream.
One cannot live forever polishing
brass and entertaining strangers. One
must have coin as well. The time has
come for him to dispose Of some of his
curios. But he does not sell them to
tourists; instead, he pledges them with
Jews, receiving only one-tenth Of their
price, and sometimes not so much.
What do these Hebrews know of the
value of such wares? But all the
better, he thinks; they will be that
much easier to redeem when the time
shall come.
Ali the pathos of I'll There is al
ways the ship that must come in for
this old man. He has the blind faith
of child in his future. One by one
the contents of the little shop are
pledged; even Julia's room is stripped
at last of all save the vase and the
picture.
1t is now that the old man is grow
Ing weak-too weak to care for him
self. Neighbors are insistent in their
attentions. One woman establishes
herself part of each day in the little
back kitchen to prepare the signors
meals. He has refused her ministra-
tions at first; but in time he grows
to watch for her coming as eagerly as
he formerly watched for tourists. And
1t Is all in order that he may play to
her as played to them. Each morning
the roses are gathered as before. and
when the little garden grows bare So
phia brings them from her own yard
and places them IN the little vase.
