cart is a laborer in blouse and cap,
modestly keeping near the curb. A
great automobile full of rich men, and
pushed by a dozen other autos and car
riages, wishes to pass. The chauffeur
chaffs the cartman and asks him to get
out of the way. Instantly policeman
steps forward and warns the chauffeur
to keep his tongue and keep his place
in the line.
AS in the great churches of the city,
the humblest has the rights of every
other, and all are on a level in Their
rights, so also, admirably, the hum
blest laborer in the streets is in the
civic eye the equal of the duke and
millionaire. In the crowded cars of
the Metro, where blue blouses and silk
hats mingle, and market maids and
opera gcers mix in a common throng,
you cannot but notice and wonder at
the good will that always prevails in
the jostling crowd and the full recog-
milton of the rights of the poorest and
most humble of the servant class. They
are seldom crowded or frowned upon
al looks and actions are respectful to-
ward them. In any crowd in Paris the
most striking thing is the good humor
with which all give and receive bumps
and knocks and pushes and the spirit

of equal rights that prevails. No one
is better and none worse in a throng
in Paris and all goes merry in the
Metro rush, the theater crush, the
street jam, as a marriage bell.
The care that the civil officers take
of ticket holders at the opera and ma
tional theaters is an example, and to
the people of least means who must
stand in line for cheap tickets each
one is secure in his rights by his
presence and place. The blue jeans
and sealskin are discounted there, and
"a mans man for a. that" in the eye
of Paris officials. In some stores and
under a few employers American
stenuosity has come in and the en-
ployes justly complain of the rush of
work and the long hours, but as fact
this is usually to please foreigners,
and as a city no great city has hap
pier, more contented and less conten-
tious class of bread winners than
Paris-and no great city more evil
IDENTIFY honors their work. Many great
establishments now have a regular
(and some like the Bon Marche, en-
ploying some thousands of men and
women) long used system of promo
ton, pension, insurance, shareholding,
instruction, prizes and meals.

HONOR TO LABOR

Have you seen the grand groups OF
statuary to the honor of labor on the
Passy bridge? No. Then come with
me, for they are of the most striking
and noble art in Paris. Passy bridge
itself is a magnificent work of labor
and art, with it's S0-foot width and
overhead metro, along which trains
pass each ninety seconds, far above all
traffic or hindrance below. It is in
truth two great bridges meeting on an
island in the Seine, which is here di-
vided for 1000 feet into two streams.
There are great stone piers In each
stream, and under the steel bents OF
the bridge and resting upon these stone
piers are the gigantic groups represent
ing the 'Blacksmiths of Paris" and
the "Boatmen of the Seine" The
blacksmiths are two heroic figures 10
feet high, one standing with uplifted
sledge in a posture of intense effort as
Just delivering a mighty blow; the
other bends forward with intense at
tention, holding In long pincers hot
bolt, ready for riveting. The two are
riveting to the main steel beam of the

over a door hung all askew. The lane
was long, and it seemed easier to
crawl than to fall and rise so often,
but at last she reached the step under
the light, where there were no people
and where the sound of the pursuing
footsteps came very family
When she awoke she was in the dark
again. Mother, mother" she whim-
pered, as her baby habit was. But
her head rested upon cold stone, and
no reassuring arm enfolded her. Ter
ror took her for it's own again, and
she was scrambling to her feet, when
a familiar sound arrested her. Pressed
close to the door, she listened with her
whole small body. Yes, she was right.
1t came again, soft, crunch, crunch,
crunch" Little Bo-Peep pressed her
nose to a crack and shifted cautiously.
Again she was right. There were soft
breathings in the dark inclosure; soft
movings; and as she wondered, a wa
vering bleat changed quickly to a soft
whinny of contentment.
The space between the gate and the
threshold was cruelty narrow and the
baby, despite all Mrs. Gonorowsky's
care, still bore the marks of her con-
version red upon her. But outside the
gate were fear and darkness, and in
side there was home
And very early on the morning of
the next day the local rabbi, coming
to make his inspection. as by Jewish
law prescribed, found limp Little fig
ure in the corner farthest from the
gate. The face in it's border of limp
muslin frills was white and still, and
a deep stain was stiffening and dark
ening all Eva's reception gown-even
the nearest fleece was red But little
Bo-Peep had found home at last, and
had lain down to sleep with her lambs.

ness between an uptilted push cart
with one wheel and the wall against
which it leaned, where little Bo-Peep
crouched, one tiny incarnation Of ter
ror. She watched, through the crack
where cart met sidewalk, the feet of
her pursuers. Thousands of them
passed, and yet others always fol-
lowed. Some went briskly, as though
they still had far to go. Some moved
more slowly as guessing their quarry
to be near. Some stood in sodden
groups, as having discovered her hid
ing place, and knowing that they
might seize her when they would. 1t
was only by frantic repetitions of her
exorcism that she averted thousand
deaths. "I am Christian" she whis-
pered to the cold stones upon which
she covered. 81 am Christian, 1 kiss
the cross"
And the feet always passed.
Most terrifying of all were a pair of
feet - enormous, heavy-shod, and
turned up at the toes-which went de-
liberately and noisily across her field
of vision time and time again. Above
the ponderous feet a section of blue
trousers showed, as Mr.. Brennan pere
patrolied his beat and questioned every
possible informant. Once a pair of
small and shiny shoes held parley with
these heavy ones just beside the pusa
cart.
"Still no news?" asked Constance
Bailey.
None at all, miss. The earth opened
and swallowed her. A couple of women
seen her running along here toward the
river. A man on the corner seen her
turn down this block. But what be-
came of her I'm burned if 1 know.
But don't you git worked up about it;
them kids always turns up. Let them
alone and they'll come home,' as the
song says"
At the juncture of East Broadway
and Clinton street Miss Bailey en-
countered Mrs. Gonorowsky.
Mine Gott!" walled that distracted
matron. "Ain't you find her?'
NO." answered Constance, but
saw a man who had seen her."
Every one seen her." cried Mrs.
Gonorowsky. "On'y nobody wass smardt
enough they shall stop her. Everybody
says: Sure, seen a girl NIT kittens

bridge an escutcheon upon which in
relief are r. F., as though the splendid
work done on that very bridge by the
blacksmiths in its construction was
their own necessary recognition by the
republic of France. Standing, as they
do, among the steel beams and g rders
and on the stone pier, as pedestal,
no more appropriate or striking posi-
ton could possibly have been chosen
for these noble figures. There are four
similar groups of the blacksmiths
The boatmen are also four groups OF
two figures each. OF the two boatmen,
one is knotting rope to it's place on
the bridge, the other holds it fast and
the rope itself holds the great escutch-
con of France against the beams, as
though all France would do honor to
the boatmen of the Seine. Thousands
of workmen on the swift boats pass
these groups daily in the morning and
evening on their way to work, and
thousands more, during the day, of
Parisians of all ranks pass under them
They are thus an honor-an inspiration
"a reward to the worthy workman of
all Paris. You are waiting at the
corner of the Boulevard Capucines and
the Avenue Opera, while the surge of
vehicles passes. Pushing little hand

ART TREASURES IN RUSSIA

1t appears that in no country on the
European continent are there more art
English treasures than in Russia.
Especially rich is the collection in the
Kremlin of old English silver, which
had a beginning in the presentation to
the czar by Elizabeth of rare OLD
Tudor cup. The connoisseur informs
us that many of the pieces of silver in
the collection cannot be matched.
Catherine II bought many unique ex-
amples of the English goldsmith's art
of the eighteenth century. Her acqui-
sitlon of the Walpole collection of pic
lures from Houghton hall was one of
the earliest losses sustained by this
country from foreign collectors.
Not the least of the Empress Cath
crimes activities in collecting was the
acquisition of the unrivaled series of
English gold and jeweled watches,
chatelaines and etuis of the eighteenth
century. Other collections can show
earlier English watches, but not one
can vie with this in the splendor and
oostliness of the series preserved in
Peter the Greats gallery in the winter
palace at st. Petersburg. The co!lec-
ton numbers about fifty watches, ex-
elusive of several watches set in or
nate and costly stands for the table,
and, except seven, all have chatelaines
Many are set with diamonds and other
precious stones, and are elaborately
chased and decorated Westminster

dived under his desk. Gimme me hat!

Miss Bailey wasted no time In set

and on the way encountered Eva Con-

Down to the big door rushed Eva
and Miss Bailey; but there was no
sign of the white-bonneted, stylish
cousin in all the moving crowd. They
were Just In time to catch glimpse
of the vanishing Patrick Brennan; and
surely no knight of old had ever, for a
lady's sake. picked his way on more
perilous adventure than this small
knight of Ulster had embarked upon.
