ITTY, Dear Heart-If I were

N reservation to tell the world what

of this mundane sphere would get d

And the evening promised me faithful
" TO be such a nice, glorious honey
0ccasion-wel, il did not keep its word
Though it finished pretty weIll
YOu see, Molly Carey ThurstOn IN

The Sad Awakening.
Light of heart I came down those
stairs at regular slldlng-doWn-tn ne
bannfster gait, and there IN the FSSu-
bule stood Mr.. Macy who eats mere
and lives three streets away lie was
..-Tbe little scamp, The cute little

is playing the game for falr-he SIrGch
me for s. over at my mouse nlSh --- D r..
saw me. Some little CRATER, that KID.
Kitty, can you even smile2 couldn |
II that is how the city gets nJJle
voungsters-if il makes them Sratters
and schemers, and teaches them to play
dishOnestly on the finest CT human
emotions-just what sort Of d race VIII
populate New York In utue Whlle-
on. Kitty. Kitty, he was only ABOUT
as big as our little Danny-Only about
IO-and a little Grafter'--a little pre-
tending pOseur.
Maybe I am too easily thrown off
my balance. maybe I have no polse'
hut nv evening at Molly's was spoiled,
and I kept wondering what all the ut
tie kiddies are coming TO IN TINS
great money mad city
And when my mood had me fastest est
in its grip. and Molly was giving me
up for a little emOtiOnalist, in marched
Mir ThurstOn. and the man who nad
worked him in on his big new case,
and that man was James Clarke
my friend OF the Grand Central ana
my helper at that meeting week ago
and he brought me home-and II
tell YOU tomorrow. You wait! Good
night, Good night--
Your Madge's love.
