followed within the great red building the
proceedings seemed a S harsh and unfeeling
as If so many helpless little sheep were
being assorted for market No wonder the
tiny newcomers shrank and tremtled al

Of the great human culiing machine was

real unkindness shown by the swiftly

II did seem good now 10 meet kindly

At the top Of a long stairway was one OF
the biggest rooms the little strangers had
ever seen. There were rows and rows Of
seats all Of them full of people just like
themselves. Maybe they were late, Was
there room in America for all those folks
They were shut in by a big wire fence.
Was this a prison? Why were the ladies
and gentlemen watching them in the bal
cony over their heads? Perhaps they were
just looking at that great, beautiful red
white and blue flag, with the stars In the
corner of IT, at the end OF the room.
Now it was their turn TO move along.
One little family at time stood Before a
desk at the end OF. the room. where a
stern inspector leaned over a large book.
He talked in their own language. That
seemed better He asked ever SO many
questions and kept writing in that big book
Why was father giving all his papers and
money TO the man? Did folks have TO pay
TO get into America? But the man Just
looked at them and gave them al! back
That seemed good of him.
Word passed along the line that they were
all through with doctors and inspectors and
things and were soon TO take the ferry
for New York. But that was only for the
fortunate. Back along the struggling line
