Still Bears the Scars

"I often wanted him to give me
one of his pictures. And Won
dered why he didn't, but I was
afraid to ask him. Perhaps--who
knows-maybe he sensed that l
wanted one Of them. I never real
lied that till later--so much later"
AS the friendship between the
artist and the little girl developed,
she grew to love him. But she
dared not tell him.
And it so happened, although she
never found it out until years later
in America, that he loved her. too,
He asked her father for her hand.
III he had only asked me, it might
have been different said Miss Et'
tinzon, with sad smile.
And the father refused. Not be-
cause he disliked Simeon, but be-
cause his wife did. She could not
bear to have her daughter, Jewess,
marry Gentle.
"ln 1905, you know, there was the

Simeon standing beside my bed. He
seemed so sad as he looked at me.
If he had only told me he loved
me-"
Miss Ettinzon, when she got we'll,
studied nursing, and graduated from
a professional school. In 1907 she
came to America alone.
And she hasn't seen Simeon since,
although she loved him, and he, she
knows now, loved her. 1t was a
peculiar twist of fate that would
not permit them to know how much
they loved each other.
