THE RED BLOOD OF COMPASSION.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Ny..

The wanted columns of the Chicago
Tribune few days ago contained this
advertisement:
Unless some kind hearted person comes
to my rescue with 500. which I will re-
pay IN five dollar weekly installments, I
will kill myself
Here was a tragic plight-death
versus $500
Who in the hour of such extremity
would think to send an appeal to the
callous public?
Who could hope to find a friendly
hand grasp out of the darkness that
shrouds an obscure tragedy?
But the man was hard driven by
fate. And this is his story:
He is an Italian city salesman. Like
the man who went down to Jericho
he fell among thieves. Some one stole
$2S3 belonging to his firm from his
pocket. He was afraid to report the
loss lest he might lose his job. He bor-
rowed the money of loan sharks and
paid robber rates for interest until the
sum grew to be $500.
The poor salesman had a family of
eight children-in graduated sizes from
one year up-and he was desperate.
Had his pathetic plea failed
But scarcely had the ad. appeared
so gracious is our humanity-when two
Chicago business men called up the
newspaper and offered to loan the
money. The employer also read the
ad., which was anonymous and sus-
pected the mans identity. He called
up the newspaper Office.
Thereupon q meeting was held. the
salesman, his employer and the two
business men being present. The en-
ployer praised the man as thoroughly
honest and industrious and said he
would gladly continue his services.
The Italian tearfully and joyfully sign
ed the notes agreeing to pay back the
loan from the business men in weekly
installments.
There was Joy in the Italian house
hold when the father returned Saved!
Saved! 1 am savedr' shouted the man,
coming into the crowded little apart
ment. ~ will not be sent to prison.
Tomorrow l VIII go to work"
Saved,
Whether is it better to save man
than to drive him to suicide or to
prison or to save whole family from
ruin than to destroy it?
The daily newspapers contain many
wretched details of things sordid and
unlovely. 1t is worth while to print
deed like this one, which so shines
In naughty world.
