CONV|CTS REPLY TO
PRAYERS OF CHILD
interesting Story Of the Sacrifice Made
BY Two conviets That Child
Might Be Happy

The strange avenues through which
the appeal of one unfortunate may
find a response in the heart of some
one a great deal more unfortunate,
deprived OF liberty itself was strili-
inRl! illustrated during the past week
in Inc case OF rhr little Reno girl who
wrote letter to Santa Claus, asking
for violin for Christmas.
The letter was published in The
Journal and brought response the
next day from a Reno girl who had
two violins and was willing to give
one TO the little girl who had none
This ciolin was placed in the hands
of Santa Claus and delivered to the
little one Christmas day.
But the point of this story lies in
another direction and in an unsus-
pectcd source of human sympathy
On the day before Christmas, Sec
rctary Lceper OF the Reno Charity
Fund organization, who had received
the violin from the Reno girl, report
ed that he had received by parcel
post another violin, but he was un-
able To trace the sender.
Now comes the solution of the
mystery, and the human interest side
OF the story.
Two convicis in the state prison at
Carson City saw the appeal of the
little girl who wanted violin for
Christmas in The Journal. One oi
their most treasured possessions to
help while away the tOrturous and
unhappy hours in the prison was t.
violin It's strains had recently been
stillcd because the instrumcn. needed
some slight repairs. The little girls
appeal touched tnat spark of human
sympathy which somehow never
quite porishcs. although dullrd aid
unconscious for years.
They repaired the violin and sent il
by parcel post 10 Santa Claus in
Reno. for the little girl whose appeal
had reached them In prison. Their
identity was obliteratcd, that the pre-
sent might not possibly prove unwei
come. But the story Of their sympa
thy and sacrifice has Crcpt out from
the prison walls and given a new zcs'
