anxiously scanning the faces of those
who passed. For some time she
stood, anxiety written in every act
ion. There was nothing unusual
about her appearance, but Jack, aft
er watching her, first aimlessly, then
with interest, felt that more than
idle curiosity held her attention. At
length there appeared the figure of
a man, scarcely more than boy in
age, but bearing every sign of con-
tact with the world of vice. His
clothing was disheveled and as be
paused for a moment it could be
noticed, by his unsteady movement,
that he was under the influence of
liquor. As he stood there he pre-
sented a picture calculated to touch
harder heart than Jacks. He
seemed SO out of place amid his sur
roundings of happiness and action.
With all his young strength and
beauty he was truly a most folorn
sight, as he stood as if trying to de-
eide which way to turn. Behind
him lay--as Jack well knew from
personal experience-the path that
leads to destruction; before him, it
was easy to imagin, a home, perhaps
one which only his presence could
cheer. Would he forget that home
and turn his back on all that makes
life worth living? Would he do as
Jack had done in the past, forget
those who were dear to him and
think only of the happiness of the
moment, without calculating the cost
to those he loved, and to himself?
These were the questions which
formed in the mind of the watcher.
So intent was he on watching the
picture before him, that he failed to
notice the woman leave her place
and approach the young man. He
saw only the happiness reflected up
on her face as she drew him to her
side, assisted him across the crowded
street and disappeared with him in
the busy throng. In fancy he heard
again the words: When the world
seems cold and drear, / will be wait
ing to receive you" and for the first
time in his life he realized the depth
of mothers love and her anxiety
for the welfare of her son. He saw
more, through the thickening gloom
of evening he beheld a home many
miles away. He saw it as he loved
to picture it, with the scenes of early
days unchanged. Before him there
arose again the face which memory
always associated with that scene.
the face of a waiting mother. But
he saw her now, not as he loved to
picture her, in all the mingled pride
and sorrow of their first sad parting,

Jacks Neglect

VA ND Jack, dear, don't forget
M you have a mother; when
the world seems cold and
drear, / will be waiting to receive
you.''
The speaker was lady, slightly
past middle age; the time winters
day many years ago; the occasion,
the first parting of mother with
her son, who was about to begin his
struggle in the world.
Since then Jack had journeyed
far. He had won and enjoyed to
the fullest maay of the good things
of life; he had also drained the cup
of sorrow and tasted Of the bitter
ness of the dregs, as is usual with
those who have to battle single
handed with the world. But the
one thought which haunted him the
most was that his mothers parting
words had been disregarded. Dur
ing all these long years he had writ
ten but seldom, always trying to
console himself with the belief that
he would one day return to brighten
the declining days of his aged parent.
Gladly would he have made himself
believe that she, too, no longer cared,
but the parting words still stirred his
memory. More especially SO on this
occasion for it was rapidly approach
ing the Christmas season and his heart
ached as he thought of the many
long years of neglect.
From his none too comfortable
seat at the window of cheap board
ing house, the best his scanty means
would permit. he aimlessly viewed
the busy throng as they hurried to
and fro on the pavement below.
Young and old alike. all seemed to
be infested with the spirit Of the
time. Aimlessly he viewed the sight,
lost the while in contemplation. He
seemed so far removed from the
objects of his interest that they be-
came to his mind mere pawns, which
he might move or adapt to suit his
own imagination or desire. Here
he beheld young men and women
gliding down life's pathway, still
flushed with the splendor of youth,
unknown as yet to care or sorrow.
There mother or father, bent per-
haps on an errand, the object of
which was to gladden. the lives of
the little tots at home. Or perhaps
the detected appearance of a solitary
wayfarer attracted his attention and
he felt for moment that of all the
gladstone multitude before him some
were destined, like himself, to still
know the need of much that goes to
make happiness complete.
His attention was at length arrest
