Harry He must find work. and IT, as
it seemed, there was no work to be

One morning he had travelled the
wharf, looking for any odd job that
wight come with the docking of a
sailing vessel or river steamer. He
had found nothing, and was resting "a
moment before starting for town,
watching the Italian fishermen un-
loading their mornings catch. Silvery
fish, their scales cleaning in the

waiting wagon and driven away.
They all seemed happy and

jokes or banter, but sat quietly with
big, sad eyes looking out across the
bay
Harry was sitting on pile almost
over the boy of the sad eyes. and Harry,
with the disappointments OF the un-
successful days of wage hunting, felt
an immediate sympathy for this boy
of another race. Hello, young fellow"
he said, leaning down toward him;
what is your trouble?"
The Italian lad Strengthened up and
looked at him, but made no response
to this greeting for so long that Harry
felt sure he did not understand Eng
lish The look that passed between
them, however, was one OF inquiry, of
search and of satisfaction. That look
told each of the two boys that they
were in harmony, one with the other;
and the Italian answered the question
that Harry had asked.
MY father die--he drown. They bury
him yesterday"
Harry looked his sympathy. There

that he whistled in rueful surprise.

dances are held in the open air and
