The question has often been raised
whether the young man should study

OF course, on several Of these osca-
sions Miss Brown was announced. The
doctor was introduced.
And then of course the inevitable
happened.
Even before he had been formally
presented, Dr. Matz had heard Of the
beautiful young woman whose graft
tude toward her old friend had never
changed in his adversely. 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
Hummel himself.
What has followed has been the Sc
cret the grim old place has kept so
well for months. Now that it is out,
Miss Brown, with her face suffused
with bushes, will tell you herself that
the minute she saw Dr. Matz 'he APP
pealed to her." and the doctor will
tell you that even before he had met
her he had made up his mind that so
loyal friend as Miss Brown had
shown herself to be was just the girl
for him.

than her beauty, had attracted the at
tention of the lawyer when she first
came to the city. Through friends Mr..
Hummel was introduced to her and
her mother. Eventually he 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
cess has come to Miss Brown she
owes largely to the kindly interest of
Mr.. Hummel.
And Miss Brown was grateful.
She was not content to tell only Of
the many kindnesses he haC done for
her end 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. 1t was the sight of
his little friend that brought the first
smile to the face of the little lawyer
that any one had seen after his con-
viction.

Once in a while she would take her

truth an angel of mercy, for while she
played for Mr. Hummel the other men

New York.-The four grim gray
walls of the city prison over on Black
wells Island have been just bursting
with the secret of romantic engage
ment, and there is a smile these days
on the faces of the forlorn creatures
forced to live therefor the fortunate
man is DR.. Philip B. Matz, assistant
physician to the prison and the friend
of every unfortunate inmate of that
place, according to the Sunday World.
The heroine in the case is Miss Jo-
sephine Brown, who lives at No. 2O4
West Ninety-fourth street, New York.
1t was on mission of mercy to "the
island" that Miss Brown met DR.. Matz
but to begin at the beginning:
A little over II years ago Chicago
was taking very great interest in
deed in little seven-year-old girl who
could play the violin with the skill of
a born artist. The little one was Jo-
sephine Brown. She had won her
honors at series of public concerts.
A year or two later she came to New
York with her mother, and added to
tation for childish beauty. The almost
perfectly formed features of her face,
the magnificent black eyes and long,
jet-black hair acclaimed her wherever
she appeared. Those who were
charrued with her then predicted that
as size grew older she would become
one of the most beautiful women in
the world.
In New York Mrs. Brown secured
for her daughter the leading violin
teachers, and very soon musicians
and artists were attracted toward the
little western girl Photographers,
artists in black and white and those
who painted in oil besieged the
mother to allow Josephine to pose for
them. Mrs. Brown granted as many
of these requests as possible, and the
Madonna-like face of the little girl
became we'll known in the artists
studios Of the city.
All Countries Praise Beauty.
Quite without the knowledge of
Miss Brown or her mother, a little
over year ago one of the artists
who had been attracted by the beauty
Of the little girl when she first ar
rived in New York, sent his portraits
Of her to London, Berlin and St. Pc
tersburg and entered them in beauty
contests then being held in those
cities. A different pose of Miss
Brown was sent to each place, but in
every city the judges were unanimous
in awarding her the first prize for
beauty. =.

aid attention showered on her by the
artists, it was the friendship of those
who took an interest in her musical
training that Miss Brown cherished
most And it was thir gratitude that
led to the bewildering number of con-
gratulatory letters and kilograms
which Miss Brown has been receiving
during the past few days.

ed lawyer, was sent, disgraced and re-
