toy presented to him by Mr.. Conors. How
do Hook, Bobby" she asked
Bobby was altogether too busy to bother
,iwith anything as uninteresting as clothes.
"All right he said absently
d Sophie ran downstairs to see Mrs. Sellers.
On the way down she looked into the parlor.
Just minute, jim" she said.
"No hurry, kid" he replied cheerfully.
He was always cheerful.
Mrs. Sellers fingered the stuff Of the dress
for the twentieth time. "The more see it, D
she remarked, "the more think it cost more
than it looks"
"Mr. Conors has lots Of money" Sophie
said, apologetically.
"Of course, you and him are engaged 2'
There was triae OF suspicion in Mrs.
Sellers's glance.
"Of course" said Sophie; but she bent her
head and ran quickly upstairs so that Mrs
Sellers should not see her face. In the five
years she had lived with the kind old woman
it was the first time she had lied to her.
They went to the theatre that evening.
On the way home, Conors, as if the remark
came reluctantly, said: Sophie, don't think
I can 60 with you Thursday"
Thursday would be Thanksgiving Day,
and he had invited Sophie to go to the Bronx
Geological Gardens with him and bring
Bobby. They were to spend the entire day
and have dinner there.
"All right, Jim," Sophie answered "I'm
sorry, of course. Going somewhere else ?"
Conors looked away, "I'll be out Of town
on business, he said, and, after an impercept-
ibe pause, added, =" won't be able to be back
in time, not until Friday night. I'll see you
then. All right2"
"Sure," Sophie answered.
So on Thursday she and Bobby decided to
90 to the Zoo anyway and take their lunch
with them. Sophie went downstairs in the
kitchen to prepare the ham sandwiches.
"Oh. come on along, Mrs, Sellers, she said.
"a swell chance I've got OF going, !" replied
Mrs. Sellers Snow, you children be back
sharp at six for dinner. You'll be starved" "
Sophie and Bobby started. And they GER
tainly had rare day of it. They took the
subway back, getting off at the Borough Hall
station. II was a quarter of six. Sophie hur-
ried on down the street, holding Bobby s hand
and pulling the tired child after her. Sud-
denly Bobby felt her grip on his hand tighten,
tighten so that he cried out with the pain; but
Sophie did not hear. They were in front of a
restaurant, "swell" one to which Jim had
never taken her, and coming out Of it were
Jim and woman, beautifully dressed and
very attractive, although casual glance
showed her to be about forty. He had his

Through the whole Of the ne1t dayit was in
vain that Sophie ted herself Jim had given
her no right to be jealous Of him. Her humil-
ity, the sense Of her own insignifcance, van
ished before the forked flame that shot
through her. 1t was in vain that she told

she exclaimed

One evening she put On little dress for
which he had given her tie goods sczae days
previously. 1t was simple dress, which she
and Mrs Sellers had fashioned between them,
but It made her look younger and prettier.
She turned from the mirror to Bobby, who

she knew how she had come to meet this man.
She was wondering what be thought Of her.
She WIS even wondering ii she understood
herself. 1t seemed 50 incredible, so amazing,
and yet She looked across at him and
smiled He was leaning back in the chair one
leg over the other, a short, black cigar in the
corner Of his mouth, as he talked, his right
hand conspicuous with great diamond on
one finger. And, in his way, he was very good

lie seemed TO take great delight in doing SO.
And Sophie was good listener. She sat with
her vivid red lips slightly parted, flush had
come to her cheeks; she hardly withdrew her
eyes from him all evening. Her admiration
WIS SO obvious and SO obviously sincere, he
would have been strange man who did not
enjoy being its object.
I'm something of a politician, you know"
he said. "Down in the Fourth District every
man knows who Jim Conors is" She remem-
bered that.
Before he went, after announcing his inten-
ton to do 50, he came over and took a chair
close beside her. ooh, don't be 50 frosty"
he said, taking one of her hands in his AS
she attempted to withdraw it, he seized both,
and leaning over, kissed her full on the lips.
A startled cry broke from her, and, bending
over, she hid her face in her hands.
He arose with a somewhat doubtful express
sion, perhaps Father contrite one, and patted
her gently on the shoulder. "There, there,
kid" he said. Perhaps did 90 little
rapid. Well, goodnight" He waited for her
to speak, but she did not look up, so he went
out into the hall and let himself out Of the
front door
Even after it had slammed behind him,
Sophie still sat in the same position, quiyer-
ing and ashamed. After little while she
turned out the gas and went up the stairs to
her room, slowly and with one hand on the
banisters to steady herself
Nevertheless, after that first evening, which
in some ways had been so humiliating, Sophie
felt that new and wonderful interest had
entered into her colorless life. She changed
gradually in appearance. The pink flushed
her cheeks more easily; she learned to dress
her hair in a becoming psyche, such as she
had seen on hair-dresser's model in shop
window on Fulton Street; she carried herself
in a manner that counteracted some of the
effect Of her cheap clothing. Often in front
of her mirror she gazed with startled, some
what surprised eyes at the girl she saw there
with lips slightly parted and the even teeth
showing white in the glass.
There was no doubt that Conors admired
her. He took her to the theatre; and if they
were not exactly the ones she would herself
have chosen, they were, at least, delightfully."-
entertaining and even moro than that-for he
was beside her. He met her on the ferryboat
of evenings and walked home with her. But
while he had always treated her with respect
and had never again been as familiar as on
that first evening, there was at times a certain
expression in his eyes and on his lips, GER
tain glance which seemed to question and
consider, that sent her home from an even

Presently came the time when he offered to
give her some clothes. And after some per-

that he wished her to look nice when she

A Brief Tribute

The death OF Judge M. c. San;leJ
was a loss 20 the Judiciary. and to the
Commonwealth. His brilliant career,
on. the State and Federal Bench. is
well known, and. having admired min
for years. only desire to testify To
those superior traits and qualifica-
lions which gave MIN eminence and
which were in demand and valuable,
like gold and precious jewels. becauss
so rare.
He was free from guile and deceit,
treachery and prejudice possessed of
a rich store OF legal knowledge, to-
gether with scientific and general in
formation, which was always impart-
ed in a clear and concise manner in
rendering his opinions and judgments
he manifested no inordinate desire
for wealth or distinction and spurned
the overtures OF the flatterer and the
applause Of the public. With courage
OF a Caesar, the eloquence OF Web
ster or Calhoun, and the logic and dis
cernment OF Jefferson OF Clay he was
led by pure impulses and enobling
motives, and was never happier than
when his conduct was approved by
his own enlightened conscience.
When considered with those who or
posed his ideals, he was as rushing
torrent compared with stagnant pool
or the light of the sun compared with
a twinkle Of a distant star.
The language of Holy Writ, Know
We not that there is prince and great
man fallen this day in Israeli" would
apply with a change OF time anG
place.
His freedom from fractional alli-
ance, his fidelity to his friends, and
his manner Of dispensing justice to
rich and poor, friend ana foe alike en-
deared him to the people. hence the
sorrow over his passing away is not
confined to relatives, but the people,
throughout the country, feel keenly
the loss as he guarded their interests
against the thrusts OF designing and
INSCRIPTIONS individuals and factions
that seek gain and distinction, even
at the sacrifice of the general welfare
The truth of this assertion is mani
fest. Official corruption is the bane
OF our country, and it exists under the
guise of honest intention.
Let us cultivate those sterling
traits Of character and high ideals
which made him famous.
