He never entirely forgave her that affront, and
the next time the good hearted unsuspectng
creature asked him to visit her parrot he ran away
to the part of the hall where the shadow dragon
lived. And sometime afterward when his GRAND
mother took him to see her Cinderella, although
almost frantic with JOY at the wondrous sight, his
old grief rose up to his tongue, and he whispered:
Don't you think her violet wreaths sckier than
llacs? "-'Yes child" came the answer. And he
didn't speak again, but smiled as he patted his
Julia S hand never SO gently.
And while the boy dwelt on Bond-st there foated
up Broadway one jubilant morning clash of trum-
pets and drums. The old house gave a start and
ratified its window panes. Below the boy, who sat
perched on the wide sill of his little window,
the three meal boarders hung out of their private
domains-thus Julia referred to the ladies and
gentlemen who lunched well as dined and break
tasted with her. Across de Forest alley the tailor
flung adrift flag Some one on the street shouted:
The soldiers! They're coming! RUM" And then
the music rose divinely sweet, seeming to pulsate
the whole of that sleepy street with the rhythmic
swell of the Blue Danube"

said:
