Death Touched Debtors.

or course the man didn't look at II
that way. but his bereavement was
really source of financial gain. II
was son who died, boy Of thirteen.
He was killed In a street accident. The
fatality touched the public heart
strangely. He had been popular boy,
and his death aroused the sympathy
of the nelghbors for blocks around.
The father was a small tradesman,
who went on the principle that all
mankind was honest He trusted right
and left. He had become creditor to
two-thirds OF the people in the neigh
borhood. Many of those debtors were
sharks who, either because Of finan-
cial disability or naturally dishonest
propensitles, probably had no intention
OF ever paying up, but with the news
of the lads death all experienced n
change of heart When the shop re-
opened after the funeral, the dazed
proprietor entertained stream Of
callers.
Il am SO sorry" they said, one and
all Then they added, half sheepishly,
81 owe you so and So" and planked
down the money.
In some cases the shopkeeper got
money that had been due more than a
year, and he piled up dollars in cash
that, only for the sympathy called
forth by his bereavement, would have
been dead loss.-New York Press.
