fui 80 IN angel. She came to the ten
ement where / used to live before nay
wife died and I went to pieces, and
started In to help the sick and needy.
Say, that girl has worked all day In
the factory and uses every cent she
can spare for others. They call her
Lady Bountiful, but her real name 10
Alice Lisle. Last week she pawned
her neck chain to buy a baby buggy
for little crippled child and pay the
rent for sick washerwoman. Say,
believe there's mystery about her,
toe, and that's what you want In
stories, don't you? She isn't no COM
mon clay, that's sure. and her pretty
face and ways In movie picture
would .Iake q whole play Of ITSELF"
Badly furnished further details and
Merrill bestowed a fve-doll@r bill upon
him, but Baldy's final words were: Il
say, mister, II Lady Bountiful turns
out to be a princess In disguise and
your story about her makes You Ia
NOUS, youll blow nae to an extra ten,
eh?"
One week later Merrill Hoyt became
a room tenant OF an old woman on the
same noOr where Miss Lisle was To-
Gated. The first sight he had Of the
young lady carried out the claim Of
Badly that she wss indeed good and
beautiful as an angel" A week spent
In close proximity to herself and her
humble neighbors proved revelation
to Merrill. There. was not woman
or child in the old tenement that had
not some story Of kindness to dis
! close. Then Merrill was introduced
to Miss Isle by his landlady. Day
by day he learned more and more to
estimate her royal worth and night
after night he wrote upon ''his great
book" which her loneliness and help
fulness inspired.
Merrill fell iii and never knew who
had aided In nursing him until he was
back to normal. 1t was his landlady
who told him Of the visits of Miss
Iisle to assist. her in caring for the
delirious patient.
"And Oh" she said, ''how you raved.
and all about her, and how you were
going to write her In a lovely story.
And she biushed 50 beautifully when
in your fever you bsgan to talk about
love- and how she should be your own
when you sold your book and-and
here she comes now"
And, flushing from se!f-conscious-
ness, Alice Lisle entered the room. 1t
was the beginning of pleasant asso-
citation mutually cherished, and few
weeks later, well and strong again,
Merrill told his love and all the story
Of his object in coming to the tene-
ment.
"We will have to wait till my book
brings In returns" he told the recip-
rocally happy girl. who smiled strange
ly and. added q bewildering conf
dence. IS ~
She was the owner Of the tenement
and had fortune OF her own, and
had assumed the role Of poor girl to
get closer to the lives Of the needy
and lowly. ~
"We must share what have to-
gether, DEAR" she whispered to Mer
rill, tor OH the good we may do for
these poor people whom we have taker
into our lives"
