 Under the window were three wom- en. One ralxed riot from an ipstru- ment of torture. one sang in voice of brass bound barrenness. and one stood weeping. iS

 As there was no one in the ofiice to answer this question, and as he was quite new to Porto Rico. Pendleton set to work to piece out the song--if such 1t could be called--for himself He knew Spanish--book Spanish--but the music and the voice were too much for his translating. He shouted impa. tiently to them to stop the music and go slow. The older women obeyed, de- lighted to have attracted the attention of the rich American; all Americans are rich in Porto Rico. and the younger woman pushed her face farther into her hands. Whether she wept or whether she just stood listening to that doleful song, Pendleton could not tell But by littles he made out the mean ing of 1t all. It was her tale of woo that the beggars were relating in theil song. A true tale. he fancied. seeing how she seemed to bow beneath the shame of it. A sorry one. even for 6 native of Porto Rico if 1t was true Pendleton hailing from particularly prosperous section of the States was new to beggars and their wiles. Be- sides, he could not possibly work with that demon-like din going on under his window. He went out in the street and to the woman who was weeping or pretending to.
