The Red Cross Lady thought a

these people-the Red Cross was
spending a great deal for the;r re-
lief. But could she honestly use
such money to buy violin because
desolate and unhappy negro boy
had touched her with his story?
Could she, when there were warm

and warm food needed for whlmper

mothers?

they found it---a decent instrument,

He turned at the footsteps behind
him and saw, under the Red Cross

about it the Red Cross lady said

finally paid the cashier and left a
white slip which the boy had thrust

A regular patron, who knew the
small dark man and his blotter-like
memory, observed that the lank guy

Frovender for fifteen cents worth of
money. The small dark man smiled
Don't get US wrcng," he said.
THAT fellow probably grows most

@bout the awaiting movements Of the

fifteen cents he thought that he had
eaten fifteen cents worth. He
meant to be honest. He was too
struck with the idea Of this place to
look at the price.

other steerage passengers,
and watched the skyline over lower
Manhattan as the Chicago made
slowly for her pier.
He did not want to see New York !;
its gayety, its stimulation, the ad-
venture Of its life, the color of its
streets meant nothing 20 him. He
had heard only vaguely OF great
cities, and he had not liked what
he heard. Carlos Nichols, born on

opportunity to express all the pent-

nature through its medium.
Night and day It had been within
his reach since at ten he had &C.
q~ired 1t. When he set out for
France last month he had little lug

arm. On board the Venezia his
haunting, throbbing music had fasci-
mated his fellow passengers in the

he played, talking little to the other
passengers-he was shy and sensi-
tive and superstitious. A queer dread
of impending evil haunted him. and
