hurry to put her "other dress" and run over to
Mrs. Pratt's to tell her: "My boy is coming home
The boy came home. When he took mother in
his arms and held her for full minute, she couldn't
speak. All choked up. So glad to see him, she
couldn't say word. And, when she did speak, the
first thing she sad she looked up into his brown
eyes, was "Oh my boy, how pale you are!
He was pale. He knew it. Subway air makes no
red ood-corpuscles. Kills of the red ones
that exist Nor does the electric light of the sub
way brown the cheek the sunlight browns the
cheek of the farmer. All the year that he had
been away mother had carried in her mind the pic
ture of her farmer boy. Never had dreamed that
her farmer boy would come home with a grayish'
white face. Didn't need to say she was shocked
Looked it. The boy caught the message and laugh
ingly replied
"Oh, mother, all city folks are pale"
During the week that he remained at home, the
boy was kept talking Father and mother con-
stantly asking questions. Seemed to mother as II
she couldn't ask questions enough Wanted to get
arst-hand information about everything of which
she had read.
Six months after he returned to work. his mother
had an opportunity to see for herself just how big
was New York. A telegram told her that her boy
had been hurt. She and father found him in a hos
pta with his head bandaged until they could bare
ly see his eyes, At the end of his run, he had
tried to cross the tracks to catch another train back
and get to dinner more quickly Didn't see a train

beat 1t the rest of the way.
The court years back, having broken into
town in substantially the same way, did not hear
the boys story without feeling. During the re-
cital, the judicial mind had gone back to that
other day, now long gone, when he, penniless
lad, had said goodby to his native town. So he
said to the boy:
"N1y son. let me commend your judgment. Any
boy who will ride the trucks to New York, in
preference to going to Chicago and living with
his chums aunt, has the right spirit. l think this
town leeds boys like you, and am going to let
you stay. Discharged"
Nothing can illustrate better than this incident
the lure of New York. Perhaps no other city ever
had SO large percentage of the worldd'ss popula
ton bluffed. A bigger word than "blufed" is
needed Here but 1t does not come. The point Is
that the city has the power to cast a great SPELL
and casts it. She makes no comparisons. To
make comparisons would be to admit that there
others in her class She says only: Il am the
wonderful city-come."
The call goes north to the edge of the frozen
world; east to the point where the east is west;
south as far as white man lives, and west till
the west is east. Not everybody comes, but every
body hears. Millions would like to come, but
can't. Everybody would like at least to see the
siren city. And, untold thousands do come. One
railroad thinks nothing of dumping 100000 stran-
gers into New York in day.

of this wonderful bigness. Perhaps the newspa

The painted scene had fired his mind with an
intense desire. He must be off to New YORK.
All during the show, which he saw not, though he
looked straight at the stage, he kept his eyes
riveted to the splendid vista of Broadway. The
whole thoroughfare seemed to him to be treas

lights begin to blaze up along the Great White

elevated wheels to horses hoofs. AS he puts
