A "CABBY's'' TRIBUTE.

We haven't his name, but 1t doesn't
make any difference; the 'cabby"
who took a strange young girl to the
Y. w. C. A. and left her there amid
friends. instead of dropping her at a
place to which she had been directed
by an overfriendly stranger on the
train, deserves public recognition and
praise. 1t didn't take "cabby'' long to
tumble to the facts in the case. The
girl. unsophisticated. had let it be
known she was coming to this city to
find employment. She had been d.
rected to two questionable places. The
one proved vacant; "cabby" knew
something about the reputation of the
other. He knew, too, that his fare
was no woman of the world, and with
the concern of a father and the kindli-
ness Of a gentleman he quietly sized
up the situation and placed the girl
among friends and amid surroundings
clean and wholesome, from where she
was returned to her home. It re-
freshes our faith in mankind to read
of incidents like that. 1t helps one to
fight off the insinuations that fire.
quently come from high places that
those who occupy the lowly stations
in life have not high ideals. Whether
the public ever learns who this par
ticular 'cabby' was or not, he has
the satisfaction of knowing he paid as
high a tribute to clean womanhood as
ever fell from the lips Of any orator.

To cheer, and give release. and pay my
