MENDrNG Her BROKEN HEART.

This Is the story of the woman who
welded again her broken heart.
A few years ago Mrs. Norah Burke
lived in comfortable house in an old
fashioned street In New York. Life
for her was full and joyous. A good
husband loved her. Children played
about the house. Up the street lived
her father and mother. Across the big
bridge were brother and a sister.
Inside of two years came the end Of
her world.
In that time, strangely enough. hus-
band. children, parents, brother and
sister died, and she sat desolate in the
old house 1t was a house of torturing
and pathetic memories and peOpled by
the vague shadows Of the loved and
lost.
She almost went mad.
Sleeping or waking. recollection told
her weary brain the sad history Of be-
reavement Finally she CROPPED her
way to the church where she was
christened and welded and told the
old minister she must have relief or SO

"when you feel you are going mad so
out and find some one sadder than you
and try to comfort that one"
"But there Is no one"
@Oh, yes, there is! Look around YOU
That day she took cur to the most
miserable quarters of the east side, and
there she found a woman who had
flung herself on the dead body of her
child, killed by an automobile.
'fWherc is your husband?" she asked
the woman.
HE is In prison for life"
She had found a life sadder than
hers. She helped to bury the child,
took the woman to her own home.
loved her back to sanity and found her
work And every day she sought to
comfort some miserable one
She was too busy to think of her own
sorrows.
Finally the authorities. learning of
her work, made her probation officer OF
the juvenile court.
She works eighteen hours day.
And always the old house is overrun
with the poor kids Of the street. She
has no time to brood
In self forgetfulness she has found
her refuge. And 1t Is said there is no
sweeter smile on any woman's face.
Thus did ''the angel OF the children's
court" fuse and weld again-in. the
flame Of human pity-the fragments Of
her broken heart.
