slavery of salary to the independ-

means to accomplish this l turned to
my one unfailing, faithful friend,
my mother. I knew she could get the
money! didn't think there was
anything she could rot do. also felt
that if Mr.. Scott had known how
utterly out of the question it was for
me or my family to have $500 on

whole sum for me. But my Scotch
pride would never have permitted ME
to tell anybody how poor we were.

An Inspiration

Where should we go? The same
conditions that drove US from Dun
feminine might confront US any
where else in Scotland. But we re-
membered that we had relatives who
had crossed the Atlantic and settled
hear Pittsburgh.
We'll go there, too" said my
mother. Its best for the boys to
begin life in new country"
We reached Allegheny City in
lS48. l was only eleven years old,
but my heart was big for the future.
I was determined to make my way
in this new country.
My father went to work in a cot
ton factory and I followed him as
bobbin boy. From sunrise to sunset
| worked, glad to feel that each day
added 20 cents to my credit on the
book. Saturday noon I drew S1.20
with a feeling not SO much Of pride
as of JOY to have money to take
home.
Six days a week l breakfasted by
candlelight and five days a week
got home after dark. But nothing
could have induced me to give this
up, except an offer for better work
This | soon got from a good Scotch
friend of ours, John Hay, who had a
bobbin factory. l was set to firing
the boilers with wood chips and to
tend the engine. Responsible work,
too, for a boy of thirteen, not big for
his age. Gradually l grew nervous
under the strain Of minding the en-
CINE and working all alone down in
Hays cellar. l would wake up
nights, sitting bolt upright in bed,
hands clenched, brows knitted, from
dreams about trying the steam
gauges and finding them wrong.
Mr.. Hay needed a clerk upstairs
in the Office. He knew could write
a good hand and he offered me this
place. After filling this position for
some time | heard that boys were
wanted in the Ohio telegraph office
in Pittsburgh. l felt as though my
fortune would be made if / could get
into that office, so my father went
with me and persuaded the superin-
tendent, James D. Reid, to employ
me. Mr.. Reid often told me in after
years that he remembered exactly
how / looked that morning in my
little blue jacket with my white hair.

Now that I had got my joo at

there We're no Jews living in Spain.
About 1860, owing to the war. in Mo-
rocco, several Jewish families settled
rnunity there with a synagog. This
was the first community in Spain since
the expulsion. Unfortunately during
the recent war, several of these fam
lilies went back to Morocco for bust
ness purposes, and communal life IN
Seville was temporarily interrupted.
1t is hoped that after peace is signed
new elements will go there and re-
suscitate the community. Madrid now
has little community with a very
nice synagog,, which was inauglIrated
at. the beginning of 1915. The Mad
rid community is an interesting one,
as its members hail from no less than
eighteen different countries, and is
thus a witness of the extent of the
Jewish goluth. At the inauguration OF
the synagog, at which both DR.. Nor
dau and 1 gave addresses, the first
Bar Mitzvah in Spain for over 1o5
years was celebrated, and a wedding
II fortnight later. A community on
IL larger scale has lately been founded
in Barcelona, and this promises to be
the most important one in Spain Al
most all the Jewish war refugees who
came to Spdin settled in Barcelona.
Altho it is possible that after the sig
nature of peace several of the refugees
will leave Spain, the communities will
still flourish.
There are very few Jews in Spain
who are Spanish subjects, and, as
whole, there are scarcely one thousand
Jews in all Spain. As the decree OF
expulsion has been tacitly revoked by
the new constitution there are no prac-
teal disabilities. The late senior Gus
tave Bauer, whose sons now represent
the interests of the house Of Roths-
child in Spain. was' a member of the
Senate, and my own case is a further

lied
Virginia said nothing to her mother
about Jimmy, which was wise, as Jimmy
was not to graduate until June, and
their plans were hazy. TO say the least.
The Christmas holidays drifted to a
close, aud on the day before the two
girls were TO return to school the four
of them went TO matinee, and after
that TO tea at one Of the large hotels.
Even in her absorption Virginia could
see that Bill was not quite happy. He
would sit and look at Kathleen for long
moments, and inasmuch as Virginia
and Jimmy talked quite openly of their
plans it was not very difficult TO imag
inc what Bill was thinking about. Vir-
ginia was not so selfish In her love that
she had not time to study Bill. She had
grown to like him very much. He had
rare moments of humor when his usually
serious face would light up charmingly
but he was not as sunny as Jimmy, who
seldom saw the serious side of anything.
Bill was more intense, too. His feelings
did not lie close to the surface, but were
bottled up inside him. Sometimes when
Virginia caught glimpse Of the almost
idolatrous love that he gave Kathleen
it made her gasp. Her own love and
Jimmy's was so safe there was nothing
to be afraid of, no uncertain depths ia
plumb. Jimmy's love was always there
for her to depend on, and she expanded
like O flower under its influence.
