He had mounted stairway to an
other door which, in answer to his

woman. AS he entered three boys and

When he entered the dining room for
luncheon, two buffers in purple and
gold livery were waiting with polite
Difference to attend him. The table
was of richly carved mahogany, the
linen snow white, all the appointments
exquisite, the delicate viands tempt
ingly prepared. Here was everything
that the material man could desire.
Anthony Farrell sat, pale and reso-
lutely thoughtful. "If there were moth
ing to life except eating and drinking
and the enjoyment of sensible de-
lights" he unused, "all this would be
very we'll" After partaking lightly of
the repast, he set out at once to make
the first of the required visits. AS he
was whirled along in a handsome linn
CUISINE to the tenement section of the
East Side, he planned beginning at
once end in order that he might have
no trouble in selecting five new fami-
lies each day. At his bidding the
chauffeur stopped the car before a di-
lapidated, unsanitary looking house.
Call for me here at four o'clock"
said Mr.. Farrell, as he stepped out
1t was not without much misgiving
that he mounted the steps. There was
no bell and he raped again and again
with increasing force. No sound came
from the interior. Then he tried the
door. 1t was locked. He went to the
rear door opening into the kitchen.
Bending over a tub of steaming suds,
was young woman manifestly weary.
At the sound of footsteps she looked
up.
Il am the civil inspector" said An
thony by way of explanation.
Come in" she said wiping off a
chair.
Anthony gazed about the room. The
contrast between this and the home
he had just left was depressing. Yet
it was as scrupulously clean as a
woman could make it.
In corner, on cot, lay a little
boy about four years old, a beautiful
child. With a few kindly words An
thony won his friendship and conf
dence.
DO you stay in bed all the timer
he asked.
No, sir, sometimes l sit in that

'You can't? Why?"

planned the woman. HE has never
been able to stand on his feet, and l
am afraid he never will"
Is there nothing that can be done
for him? Is he entirely incurable?"
He could be cured, the doctors say;
but it would cost great deal of money
two hundred and fifty dollars at
least"

repressible sympathy; and is there
no means by which you could get this
