And then Of course the Inevitable
happened.
Even before ho had been formally

changed In his adversity. He had
heard Of her from Hummel. from the
other prisoners, from the keepers,
who had come to look forward to her
visits almost as anxiously as did

tention Of the lawyer when she first
came to the city. Through friends Mr..
Hummel was introduced to her and
her mother Eventually be became the
acknowledged patron Of the little girl.
He obtained the best teachers for her,
arranged concerts at which she played
and secured her introductions into the
homes Of the socially prominent in
New York and Newport. What sue

owes largely 70 the kindly interest Of
Mr. Hummel.
And Miss Brown was grateful
She was not conte to tell only OF
the many kindnesses he had done for
her and her mother She did more.
The first day the convicted lawyer
sent word to the outside world from
his cell in prison that he would like
to see those of his Old friends who
still cared to see him, Miss Brown was
one Of the first to hurry to him with
flowers and fruit and some dainty
jelly that her mother had made with
her own hands. It was the sight Of
