on the broad window sill, and he saw . beautiful woman, of nearly his. own age, who had blue, gentle eyes, and a gentle face, and an aureole of fair hair, that in beams of sunlight looked to him like a halo.
 Small man and woman kind were round her knees, from tiny tots to girls of IS, and she was talking and teaching as only an angel upon earth-or a good woman, which is the same thing-can talk and teach from the book of books that lay upon her lap.
 And the Australian wanted to go in, too. and kiss pair of lips that erst- while were his to kiss, but he stopped and listened, and the lump in his throat choked him, for he was listening to the old-new story of the prodigal son, and the narration seemed to move the sweet saint, and the children, who had heard it hundreds of times before, always found some fresh questions to ask.
 Sweet" was the informal address of one dark eyed boy, who seemed favor- lte, what would you do II your son came back to you like this prodigy son who ate husks?" Sweet never had son. Sweet has never been married" came from an elder girl.
 And the heart of the man bounded within him.
 T should welcome my prodigal dearly, of course" And the sweet mouth had grown wistful, but her eyes seemed as if they had visions of something far away.
 Would you kiss him, I wonder?' Schoolma am blushed and laughed like young girl.
 "Yes, I think should kiss him." she said gently.

ARTHUR PRYoR's BAND.

The immense popularity of the young American bandmaster. Arthur Pryor, whose band comes to Poli's Tuesday afternoon and evening, as- sures the presence of large audience.

Ar thur Pryor, known as Sousa's trombone king and assistant conductor. is a typical American, without any of the affectatiOns and eccentricities upon which So many foreign musicians seem to base their claims to fame, and the band that he has organized is un- eQualled in this or any other country. Pryors wonderful trombone solos have won international distinction for him and are alone sufficient to attract a host to hear them. Prices are 25.

No attempt will be made at the Jacques this week to do anything else but amuse. For that reason all ele, ments of sensational novelty have been eliminated and q straight variety program arranged. The show will be from start to finish. screamingly fun. ny with dashes of fine singing and graceful dancing interspersed for the sake of change. The three Keatons are the headliners and surely hO bet- ter opponents of the art of causing laughs could be obtained. Everywhere this talented family have been con- sidered superb comedy experts and the name of "Buster" Keaton has passed into usage as the standard for all juvenile comedians to be judged by. There is only one Buster and the man or woman who does not feel like picking up the little rascal and hug ging him. metaphorically of course. is dead to all sense of sympathy.

TIE RUSSIAN B0Z!AK
NISERABLE CLASS LATELY IN.
 PRODUCED TO PUBLIC.
Existence Little Higher Than That of Brute Beasts, They Are Dangerous and Violent and Constantly Un-
 der Police Surveillance.

Ask anybody who has been to Mos COW whether he has heard of 2 "Roziak," and he will probably look ct you in amazement. shaKe his head, and possibly even deny the existence of this interesting sect. But not only in Moscow, but over the whole oI the Rus. sian empire. these people are to be :, found scattered in their thousands.
 mt Is. perhaps. as well stol lrekpiain what 'Boziak" really is. To convey the real meaning of the term is some what dif1icult, but if we gave /as an analogy our tramps and vagabonds, we should be getting nearer to it than would be possible in any other way. The "Boziaks" are destitute people, absolutely devoid of any education, and with very little intelligence. Tn fact, one might almost refer to them as the line of demarcation between animalism and civil. .ation; they are the indirect outcome of the emancipa- tion of the serfs.
 We ind ourselves in the, city of Moscow, meet one of these creatures, and allow ourselves to be lei by him wheresover he may go. As matter of fact, we should find that presently we should get to a large square in which Is an open shed. This square is known as the "Khretu Rienok." Here we should be met by the very extraordinary sight of hundreds of similar individuals gathered together. many of them standing about in groups and talking: others. too tired for such business. lying down on the hard stones wrapped in sleep.
 Thousands assemble here. and the 2 police circulate freely among them, preventing them. gathering into groups aud creating any disturbance. and. what is more important, stopping them from going into the streets of the city. It must be understood that these people are really very dangerous. for the abject state of poverty into which they have fallen. and their ferocious nature. combined with their crass ig. norance. make them willing to commit almost any deed of violence for the sake of suficient money to procure them . little food and some vodka. For food they. as . rule. are content with eating the entrails of some ami mal. which they purchase in . hot con- . dition from . neighboring store house. A large handful will cost six kopecks.
