The Mendacious Mendicant, or Rendez-
vous With Debts
r. P. A.: It was on Christmas Eve
Of 1919 (hour Of flexible emotions), be-
side the Columbia campus. He, poor
fellow, was on the way north from
Georgia with his wife and baby, and
on the train had been robbed of all his
wealth. He had left them in the Penn
sylvania Station and had sailed forth
hoping to find college or fraternity
brother in the cruel city. He told it
beautifully,-with just enough embar-
, rassment, hesitation, and modesty. 1t

which / contributed to provide shelter
and sustenance for the unfortunate
family until the morrow.

police investigation after the dis
appearance of Lucy Gray. 1t will be
recalled that many q hill did Lucy
climb, but never reached the town;
and that in the snow the mother spied
the print of Lucy's feet. But though
some maintain that to this day she is
living child, the police never did
darned thing about 1t.
