HELPED AT LAST!

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-A brave little mothers heroic battle to keep alive a family of six came to hap py ending when the Chlidren's So- ciety came to the rescue. All of them-father, mother, two girls and two boys have tuberculosis, and they were utterly destitute. Mary, 10 years old, was the head of the household, for both father and mother were just alive. She snug gled her hands in the ragged sleeves of her more ragged gown as she told her story.
 We only had one loaf of bread in three days" she said. Mamma has been sick for three months and couldn't work, and papa has been sick for a month. I got the loaf from bakers wagon, when he wasn't looking. That was all we had to eat and I divided 1t up.
 "All we had to burn was sticks of wood I found and it made 8 fine blaze. When it was blazing good I would take the cover off and we could see. Gee, if we'd only had something to cook on it.
 The bare rooms in the squalid tenement were heated only by the one little stove in the kitchen, and that provided all the light the fam fly had at night. s}i

his need for this unusual article,
O'Reilly linked arms with the boy and
set out TO climb La Cumbre. When

to explore the old well, jacket re-
garded him with undisguised amaze

his friend wns mildly mad. Even after
O'Reilly had told him something about
old Don Esteban's missing riches, he
secuted the story. He peeped inquisi-
lively into the dark opening of the
well, then he shook his head. "Ca-

"He-he had more than he knew

explained lamely.
'Humphi Nobody ever had more

deeper; you'd better look out that you
don't break your neck like that fool

O'Reilly did indeed feel that he was
making himself ridiculous; neverthe-
less, he made the rope fast and swung
himself down out Of the sunlight, leay-
ing Jacket to stand guard over him.
Perhaps fifteen minutes later he reap

a while and he was incredulous when

"Do you still think-"Rosa hesitated
to voice the question which trembled

directed JACKET to replace the planks

stole away.
O'Reilly spent most Of that day In
profound stupor Of exhaustion,
while Rosa watched anxiously over
him. Jacket, It seemed. had peacefully
slumbered on picket duty, so he occu-
pied himself by grinding away at his
