elder Rosenthal that he had just
enough funds to carry him to his
destination, where he expected TO get
work, that he coulden't afford to

and children TO rest He explained
he would place their blankets on
the floor of the hut and his little
family could obtain a much needed

visions and that he would go far.

place under the trees might de
found. He assured Mr.. Rosenthal he
would not be in the way.
Mr.. Rosenthal listened to his
story and when he had finished told
him he had a couple Of vacant rooms
with clean beds and insisted that
that the man and his family oc-
cupy them for the night. He also
told the man he expected the wan
derers to dine with him that evening
and have breakfast in the morning
before they went on their way. The
man appeared very thankful but in

great basket of provisions which
she forced into the hands of the wo
