down the DOLL snapped, 1.-TWO Dol
lars" and turned to wait on anotner
customer. Tony gasped. TWO Doll
LARS! Why, only yesterday the
price tag said one dollar was the
value.
How was he to know that prices
sometimes raised over might? TWO
Doll rs! Why, that was fortune.
and would take months to earn.
What should he do? The Cherub
must have the doll on Christmas
Day, for he had promised.
He looked quickly around him,
everyone seemed busy; the clerk
had forgotten all about the little boy
who needed another dollar with
which to buy doll. Tony thought
rapidly, there were so many dolls
surely they would never miss one!
And then with the picture of a
happy-eyed Cherub in his mind, An
tonic Arno, who had never before
had dreamed of such thing as steal
ing, and whose little mind was free
from any sense of wrong-doing,
committed what the world called a
crime, but surely the Good Father
never called it by SO harsh a name.
Tony was innocent of schooling and
never read of Longfellow, or his
"Evangeline,' or he might have
thought bitterly:
Must We in all things look, for
the how and why and wherefore?
Daily injustice is done, and Might
is right of the strongest.
And had he known:
Man is unjust, but God is just;
and finally justice triumphs, he
would have felt the grief less
keenly the grief and terror
which came upon him as a
rough hand clutched his collar and he
was dragged back incacemoniously
by the alert floor-walker, just As he
had started to slip from the store,
the doll concealed beneath his ragged
little coat
Oh yes, this little boy had no
thought of wrong in the act of taking
a doll, a small Ole a. that rom
among many hundreds of Other dolls,
he who had no idea he was doing a
wicked thing, but simply was try
ing the only way possible to Keep
his promise to his little sister, who
had no thought but that he would
thus make her happy, oh yes, he was
a criminal.
At the next counter a richly dress
ed woman, under the observance of
a specially hired companion, and a
specially Instructed corps of clerks,
was doing the same thing, with will
full intent and cunning forethought,
and yet the world looked sympathetic
and called her a "kleptomaniac"
and protected her. Tony took, with
no evil intention, one small doll!
This woman, who already possessed
Jewels and laces untold, stole many
more and the management and the
world were sorry for her. and per-
mltted 1t to go unpublished,
Antonio was hauled by the relent-
less floor-walker up the stairway to
The managers office, and while the
story was told he sobbed softly, not
1aring to look at the faces of the
