New York.-George Kramer was
found dead the other day in dark
room at 317 Furman street, Brooklyn.
He was mute hero of the white
death"
Kramer, handicapped in life by a
twisted, puny body, was tailor in
past years. He worked at his trade,
doubled up on bench in dimly light
ed loft, until II years ago two red
spots grew on his cheeks and his de-
formed spine began to be racked with
merciless cough. For time the lit
tie tailor kept stout heart and toll
ed at his bench, but meanwhile read
in the books of the white death" and
he became convinced OF his duty.
Il will stop work" he told his EN-.
ployer, 'and l will shut myself up. 1t
is dangerous for others that | should
be abroad; that they should work at
the same bench with me. Goodby."
So George Kramer, the hunchback
who had learned all that the Sermon
on the Mount had to teach, went to
live alone-that others might not be
infected with the vlrue OF the white
death. He had saved some money.
He carefully computed how long. with
infinite care. that money might pro
vide the bare necessities of life. and he
set the order of his life by the hard
tally of dollars and cents.
He had one room on the second
floor of the Furman street house To
that room he kept by day. never show
ing himself to the other tenants in
the house, Most of the people there
only knew that the coughing man
lived in that little room. whose blinds
were always closed.

one was on the street but the police
