Little Gdtb j
v From my windows I could look
' acroE3 tho court into the apartment
occupied by the family of little Ga
briel, who was called "Little Gab."
His father was a cutter in. a cloth
ing house. His mother was sickly
and white haired at forty-five and
expended all her health in household
duties.
He was an incurable invalid. His
crooked spinal column made ais
Shoulders rise to the level of his
eyes. His legs were slender and soft
and bent under a body warped and
thrown out of equilibrium. He
would not have been able to walk
without an orthopedic corset.
From this dis cor ted trunk, with a
hump on the chest and one on the
back, rose u head too largo, but the
face had exquisite delicacy and an
expression of singular poignancy.
Although he was eight years old,
one would have thought him twenty
from his thoughtful face, his prom
inent forehead and his brown black
eyes, so precociously pensive.
His father, mother and sister
adored him for his affectionate ways
and his extraordinary intelligence.
The physician-had forbidden his
working, but to amuse him and to
-change his surroundings they sent
him to school, where he forced him
self to listen gravely and to retain
all that he heard.
Ono evening after school I saw
him seated under tho porch of the
liouse against the rooms of the con
cierge. His mother had goue out to
make some purchases, and, his sis
ter not yet having returned from the
Ishop, ho found the door of the apart
ment locked. He was watching the
street with hungry eyes, while his
expression indicated deep thought
and mournful resignation. While I
questioned him the pupils of his
ej'es threw observant and frightened
glances at me. During the inter
view his sister returned ail out of
breath.
"Oh, my poor Gab I" cried she. "I
have kept you waiting, and you are
impatient, ain't you?
"No," replied Gab, with a calm,
silvery voice. "I said to myself only
that perhaps you did not want me
.any more and would not come back.
I am so sick and so troublesome."
"Ah, you naughty boy !" murmur
ed the young girl, covering him with
kisses, and then, turning her' eyes,
filled with tears, toward me, she add
"He is so little and so intelligent.
He reasons like a grown* person.
What a pity that he is not strong!
The doctor says if he can go to
Berck this summer the salt air and
1 the sand baths will probably cure
? him. But it is far away, Berck, and
n it would be expensive. But J am go
1 ing to try to make enough money to
1 take him there."
The courageous young girl work
? ed from morning until night to
I make the amount necessary. She
1 broke herself down at her machine.
I She folded, gathered, seamed, bast
B ed and sewed without rest. I heard
the dry, quick click of the machino
EX late into the night. It sounded like
fl a sharp chorus of grasshoppers in
H the fields.
Behind the curtains of the lamp
! I light I saw the outline of the young
fl seamstress. In the house everybody
B knew the story of Little Gab, and
B the women willingly gave their work
==~B to the sister. They stopped the
Ichild on the landing, in the halla
and court, caressing and fondling
him and sending him delicacies. He
was always shy, and he shrank from
their caresses, which gave him more
inquietude than pleasure. He
thought a long time of these marks
of friendship.
I "The lady on the top floor has
? given me these to^s. Why has sh?
I done eo when "lie does not know
1 me ?" he asked of his sister, with t
? keenness which gave a heartbreak
I ing understanding of the working ol
5 his brain. "It IB without doubt be
I cause I am a hunchback."
>. I Work was plenty, and the bani
I grew heavy in a dark corner of thi
I bureau drawer. July was approach
fYn|ing, and preparations were .airead]
v-Dl commenced for their departure, i
--J trunk had been bought and a cos
* ltume for the child, who, enchanted
?talked of nothing to his school mate:
?but his trip to the seashore.
I At tho last moment everything
?was upset by an unfortunate ace i
ident. y-'.;'.
fl The young wife of a clerk on th?
?fifth floor had given her weddin;
fcown to tho sister to be re trimme?
in the prevailing fashion.
? I One evening in playing with th
gnk bettie Gao lei it slip from hi
e a ?lender fingers, and its contents rai
flualuckily on the white satin skirt.:
I They aid not scold him. Alas, no
[g Befhe consternation in his face wa

journey.
It was finished. It would be nec
essary to give up thc visit for this
year."
The girl embraced Little Gab and
went to sewing again.
The following ?winter they work
ed steadily on the first floor. The
autumn had been rainy, and Little
Gab's health had suffered in conso
?uence. His bones ached, he had a
ever and pains in tho head. The
doctor examined him, stroking his
beard meanwhile, and again ordered
the child to Berck as soon as the
weather became warm.
This time it was decided, cost
what it might, they would start for
the baths at the end of May.
The sewing machine recommenced
again, and its grasshopper chorus
was heard far into the night
They had bought Gab a picture
book with nothing but views of the
ECO. Here were ports with their for
ests of masts ranged along the walls
of the quays, steep cliffs and rocks
washed by yeasty waves and Ashing
boats disappearing ot sea like a
flock of white winged birds.
The child talked of nothing but
the ocean. He saw it in his dreams,
und sometimes in broad day he
thought the fog which filled the in
ner court strips of coast beaten by
the tide and large vessels with swoll
en sails.
Occasionally he took from the
reantel a large shell and held it to
his ear. He would stand thus, his
neck lost in his shoulders, listening
for hours to the noise of the sea
which seemed to him to come from
far off-from very far off.
The winter was exceptionally
damp, and I did not meet Little Gab
any more on the porch of the ho use.
The physician had expressly forbid
den that he go out.
From time to time I saw him at
the window. His eyes were sad,
sunken, and they looked far off,
while his slender fingers designed
vague ships on the window pane.
Then, suddenly seeing mc in my
window obsi rving ' im and thinking
himself spijd upon, he made an an
gry gesture and drew the muslin cur
tain. . /
Toward the middle of March I
saw him no more. His bones ached
with increasing severity, the pains
in his head were redoubled, and his
legs could no longer support him.
He lay now the entire day stretched
out on his little bed, turning for the
hundredth time the leaves of his
picture book, where he saw the
ocean and the vessels with their
white sails.
He had not given up the idea of
his trip. "When are we going to
start? he asked his sister, and when
shi explained that they would have
to wait for warm weather he replied
in his thin voice :
"But I am in a hurry. I want to
be cured quick, very quick, so that
I will not see you cry any more."
He had looked up the names of
the towns on the route, and he al
ready knew them by heart-Chantil
ly, then Clermont, Amiens, Abbe
ville and then the ocean.
"Once we are there, I am sure my
bones will hurt me no more."
In waiting he had constantly by
him the large pink shell from thc
chimney, and with his ehr against
its mother-of-pearl lining he listened
to that distant murmur of the sea
that was to deliver him from all hie
miseries.
Toward Easter I heard no mort
the heavy rumbling of the sewing
machine. They worked no longei
on the first floor, but I saw a light ir
the window far into tho night, show
ing that some one was watching bj
the bed of the sick child.
"He is very low," the concierge
said to me in low tones as she press
ed instinctively against her skirti
her eturd)', chubby faced boy. "H<
cannot live long. Poor childi T
will be a deliverance'*
One morning I met on tho porcl
a narrow coffin, carried by two mei
and followed by the family.
It was Little Gab, who was start
ing on hi9 journey to the fathomlesi
sea of the unknown. - From tb<

Bail Eggs Have l?ood l'scs.
The career of tho egg tuay not be
romantic, but frequently it is inter
esting. The full and perfeot career
is without doubt to develop into a
lusty young chick, a rolly-poly ball
of yellow down with plaintive peek
and toothpick legs.
But the full and perfeot career is as
rare among eggs as among human be
iDgs, for many things intervene to eut
it short, and its usefulness is diverted
into channels of whioh few housewives
and poultry raisers dream.
Several fates Ho in wait for the
fresh, clean egg that reaches market,
with dozens of its fellows, in its
pasteboard compartment of tho typi
cal .*gg case. It may be sold for do
mestic use and be fried with a niece
of ham or bacon, or become an in
gredient of the numerous products of
the housewife's baking day. It may
form part of a most tempting drink or
fall into the hands of a hairdresser or
barber, and oleanse the raven looks of
a debutante or the mane of a police
man.
It may be that the egg is broken
on its way to market or its shell is
cheeked so that it will not Bell. Then
it is broken with countless others
into five-gallon uans and frozen. The
rumor is that these frozen eggs are
sold to bakers in the large cities to be
UBcd in winter.
Should the egg survive nu ?il it
passes the zenith of its existence and
enters into a decline, it may be sent to
some of the large coffee roasters of the
East and be used to glaze coffee.
Even should the egg survive the
first period of decline and enter into
the last stage it is not without value.
It is used commercially for tanning
kid gloves and other leathers.
The usefulness of the egg is not
exhausted vhen it has met with one
of these several fates. The shells
where large quantities of eggs
are used, are carefully gathered and
thc portion which is not used for hen
food is ground and forms a common
adulterant for spices. The shell can
be roasted to the desired shade, ie
absolutely harmless and is very
difficult for any but the chemist to
deteot.-St. Paul Pioneer Press

In a little conversation with one of
the school-boys who lives but a stone's
throw from my home, and who was
just returning from school with his
books slung over his shoulder, I asked:
"And what study do you like best in
Bohool?"
"Reading," was the prompt reply.
At first I wai astonished. It seem
ed as if this was a very simple matter
to be first in a school-boy's liking
the mark, perhaps, of a dullard; but I
knew Charlie to be ono of the bright
est boys on the street, and not a whit
behind bis fellows in his grade at
school, and, after a little reflection,
I eleared the matter up so that it did
not seem so strange after all.
Here was a boy who couid do his
other school tasks easily becauso ho
could read well, and because he had
como so Boov to see tho advantage of
being able to read anything intelli
gently.
Here is an example in arithmetic
Just exaotly what is it to bo find out,
or solve? Well, thc fellow who ?an
read the statement of the problem
intelligently io a long stride on the
way to its solution already.
Here is a sentence to diagram, in
language lessons. The boy who oan
seo at a glanoo the main words, and
then the dependent words in their
right relation, because he grasps in an
instant exaotly what the sentence
means, is not at all troubled about
tho simple mechanical process of
arranging the words on the bars, or in
the loops, of the diagram.
It is the boy who understands what
he reads who oan read the descriptions
in his geography and not have a mere
page to commit to memory, but,
rather, a page picturing to him plaoes
whioh he already feels that he would
like to visit for himself.
Just so in reading a page of history.
To the boy who does not have to stum
ble over words, the narratives picture
events whioh make the reader wish he
had been there and had a hand in thc
things that were going on.
And in reading a story it is a good
reader who has time while he is read
ing to really see and get acquainted
with the people of the story, and to
discover and admire the hero or the
heroine.
As a matter of fact the good roader
hardly knows that there are words be
fore him-in his way-but he sees
with his mind's eye the ideas and
realities whioh the word-piotures hold
up to him.
And the oniy way to learn to raad
well is to read, read, read; and to
think hard when you read; make it
a business, climbing over an occa
sional hard word by a lift from the
diotionary, hut most often discerning
what the obscure word means by what
the words all around it say.
There is an old saying that "bread
is the staff of life." Heading, is the
"staff" of the intellectual life.-Boys'

Italians in Cotton ti rowing.
Lo Hoy Percy, of Greenville, Miss.,
who is a lawyer, banker and farmer,
has been experimenting with an Ital
ian colony on what is known as the
Austin Corbin planting property in
Arkansas, of which moro than 4,000
acres are in cultivation, Italians work
ing moro than half that acreage.
Somo of those Italians have been upon
the property for years, and are so well
ploasod that they are constantly bring
ing over relatives and friends from
Italy.
Mr. Percy finds that as growers of
cotton tho Italians arc in every way
superior to thc negro; that they are
industrious and thrifty, and are in
clined to no race antagonism and to
no raco mixture. He recognizes that
there is an undoubted soarcity of labor
in his part of tho South, with one
class of negroes in demand by saw
mills, oil mills and similar enterprises,
and with another class soatlering
through tho United States; but he
looks to immigration to Bupply tho
deficiency, and is oonvineed by ex
perience that if Italians frc ai the
Northern agricultural districts of
Italy are encouraged to come to
the South they will gradually take
the place of negroes without there
being any such violent chango as to
paralyze for a generation tho pros
perity of the country.-Manufacturers,

A Hint to lJapa.
Twenty times William Archibald
Stewart had been forbidden to cross
tho trolley track to buy oandy, and
twenty timen William ArohibaldStew
art had disobeyed. Patience hr.d
ceased to bo a virtue with William
Stewart's father.
"Don't be too hard on him," tko
mother pleaded.
But William'Slather had his dander
up and his rattan ready as he sum
moned the culprit into his august pres
ence.
"Willie," he said, "how many times
have you been forbidden to cross the
trolley traoks to buy candy?"
William did not answer, but stood
with head lowered and hands ready to
press to his eyes.
"Don't you know it hurts papa even
moro than it does you to have to pun
ish his little boy? Now, suppose
you had a little boy and you had told
him twenty times not to cross the
trolley traok, and suppose ho disobey
ed you-what would you do with
him?"
William swallowed a lump in his
throat and threw back his shoulders
with a visible effort.
