TWO POINTS OF VIEW

persuade the authorities into leniency and an indulgent decision to over look the offence and give the penitent one more trial. and seldom was his confidence misplaced. He was the one to carry comfort to any man, if sorrow or bad news from home reached him. What should we do without Reddy," was frequently heard on the college campus or in the students quarters.
 After leaving college and entering the business world for himself, the same open hand and heart were shown to all who needed his assistance and seldom was he 1 imposed upon. His left hand did not always know what his right was doing. Much less did his sister Fanny suspect his generous propensities. There was a point where they did not agree in theory or practice. Since their parents death. the twins were left to them selves in their home on the outskirts of the town. This they reserved for a summer home. living in winter in a house in town more to F'anny's taste social fife in the midst of things. Fanny dearly enjoyed the pleasures of society and her leadership was felt there. She disapproved of her broth CTS generosities, and openly declared that she believed in enjoying life for itself and what it offered her, and her many friends agreed with her in de- ploring Franks oddities and wonder ed he was not more like Fanny. Franks business relations furnished opportunities where he could manifest his helpful desires. Often a strug- gling young clerk was found to be the main support of 6 widowed mother or an invalid father There was a chance couragement and prevent temptation to dishonesty.
 Even the street vendors invited his attention and sympathy. He well knew the Italian fruit dealer at the nearest corner whose industrious thrifty fam fly found him a kind friend. He great ly enjoyed talking with them, and frolicking with their chubby children Tony and Dita- He took an interest in knowing about their school life. Tcny was already decided that he should be a great merchant like Mir. Fletcher, while Dita's highest ambi- ton was to dance on the stage, and she was already practicing fancy steps in furtherance of that career. He encouraged both in their plans, and promised Dita to give her the dress she should choose for her first ap- pearance, and told her he would bring some of his friends to see her debut The peanut and the one-armed pop corn man knew well they would find a customer as Mir Fletcher passed by on his way to the car for home. Fanny knew nothing of all this, for the conteAts of those paper bags were disposed of before home was reached. Such plebeian purchases were not well received into the house where Fanny presided.
 They were both fond of their sum- mer home and made a quick departure for it when the season in town was to his business every day as usual and kept track of Tony and Dita Carboni as the summer advanced It chanced that the summer in question was very hot and trying and became a burden to those who remained in the city. Reddy Pitcher found meeans to send the peanut vender and the popcorn man to a summer resort where they could gain strength from the life giving lake breezes, and add shekels the summer guests. Quietly the vari ous clerks found a chance for an out ing, and thanked MT. Fletcher in their hearts for his unexpected generosity. At last came the time when Mir. Fletcher decided to take a vacation himself and went to bid his Italian friends farewell. He found them quite overcome by the heat but bravely meeting the discomfort as they had all others with cheerfulness and bright hopes of better days. A bright thought struck Fletchers fancy. He would take the two little Italians out home with him Why not? It was his home as much as Fanny's and why should he fear?
 No sooner thought than said. Had he any misga1nings. they were dispell- ed by the radiant happiness on the two little faces when he told them his plans, and they went to his home with him that very night Arrived there, he greeted his sister with these bold words, Say, Fan, I've brought company home with me for a week. I know you will like them and you will find no trouble in putting them up, I fancy
 Fanny's face was a study for a second, but she dearly loved pretty children and the little Carbonis were cherubs in looks, and sisterly love pre- vailed in the end. The week came to an end, but by that time the children had so won their way to Fanny's heart that she insisted on their remaining till school took them back in the fall. Best of all she no longer opposed | her brothers schemes for helping oth- CTS, for she had found the pleasure of giving as well as receiving.
