''sAsI1IIs. WOULD YOU TAKE ME FOR MAN
 OF SYAIPATHIES|
 also looked fatherly and benign and innocent hearted, and I was rcjoiced that two such tenants should come to us. MT. Fosdick had scarcely got set tied when he called me up to his office and said:
 "Sammis, I have been making some inquiries about you. I find that every one about the building is in love with you. You are said to be trustworthy reliable and boy who minds his own business
 "Yes. sir; have my little ways, sir" I replied as modestly as I could.
 And you are the only son of strug- sling widow, are you not:'
 ''Yes, sir. My mother is struggling in the most painful manner I should be, too, but gigantic mortgage on the house has got me pinned down so hard and fast that can't even kick
 ''Um! We must see to that The knowledge appeals to my sympathies. sammis. would you take me for a man of sympathies-a man who feels for the whole human race about him?" T should. sir. It sticks out all over you"
 Thanks. I see that I am not mis- taken in you. Down the hall, Sammis. down at No. 275, there is a young wo- man. She is doing typewriting. be- i lieve."
 ''Yes, sir; Miss Berden, sir'' | s.T 4n-. her face this morning. She seems to wear a hopeless air, as if the future held nothing for her. As a man full | of sympathy for the unfortunate I feel it my duty to-to''-
 ''To invite her to go to lunch with you," I filled in
 Well. not at the very outset, sam mis-not at the outset. She might con strue my sympathies into imperti- hence. If you should mention my name to her. carry her bouquet or two or theater ticket. let her know that I was thinking of her.

 What is it, sir?"
 q saw the old rascal making eyes at this very young woman the other day. He's seventy if he's day. and if he hasn't been rascal all his life then I can't read human nature. You might drop the young woman q word of warn ing about him, Sammis."
 T will, sir"
 That's all, Sammis. place myself unreservedly in your hands. and have given you my full confidence" It was only the next day that old MT. Graham sent for me and went over al- | most the same words. He too. thought the young woman in No. 275 had a hopeless, helpless look. and should be cheered up with bouquets. theater tick cts and luncheons. When he got around to old Mir. Fosdick, he said:
 "Sammis, there is villain unadulter- ated. He Is sly, crafty and heartless. If he has not committed murder it is only because he fears the law.
