STRANGER SAVES WIDOW
FROM BEING EVICTED
Tells lnquIsltlve Man Of Trouble
and Then Rent Is Paid

Mrs. William BruCe's experience is
almost recommendation to persons
facing trouble to tell those troubles to
an entire stranger. Mrs Bruce doesn I
try to explain the psychology of what
happened, except to feel that possibly
the nearness OF the Christmas season
might have had something to do with it
all.
She is widow. living at GO57 Rein
hard street. With four children to sun
port, and her small salary as cashier
in a moving picture place the only
revenue, she faced eviction yesterday
because of unpaid rent. Constable
"Bennie' Stillman had advised her on
last Friday that her landlord had or
dcrcd eviction II the unpaid rent was
not available to him by noon of Mon.
day.
Worried, Mrs. Bruce says she con.
tidcd her troubles to stranger who
had heard the story Of her possible
eviction, and who asked her about it.
II was the thought of the children, and
of Christmas ten days away with little
promise of Christmas cheer. that almost
made Mrs. Bruce i'll - otherwise, she
says, she would have never told her
troubles to the curious unknown.
lie went away without revealing his
identity. and without making any com :
ment. but Monday came and the con =.
stable with his process of eviction did
not. And when Mrs. Bruce inquired OF
the constable, she was told the land :
lords claim had been fully satisfied
by man who would not give his name.
But descriptions tailed closely, and
Mrs, Bruce knows her bcnefactor was
the same inquisitive stranger.
