get. An Italian boy not more than
twenty years old, washed clean and
dressed In his stiff Sunday suit, was
seated In an open carriage which had
cost him a weeks pay for the after
noon. His arm was laid tenderly about
the shoulders Of the sweet faced girl
who sat beside him. decked in her pure
white bridal array, They did not
speak. Their eyes were fixed sadly on
the little white thing that rested on
their knees. The day was cold, but
they did not heed II. They needed
nothing but the little white thing
across their knees.
Hello, Billr' a man on a coal wagon
greeted the driver of the carriage.
"Weddin, eh?"
Bill shook his head. That was oil.
Then the man on the coal wagon
looked again and saw the little white
coffin.
"Excuse me, BILL" said he, and took
