Wu'.'iaJ i ''A! CALLED : 5 i By MATTHEW GOLDMAN. ; (Copyrlcht.) After climbing tin* three dark, dingy Eights in the seething Cherry Hill tenement, the h woman wavered a moment. Then she knocked timi idly upon the j cracked panel of a all the seven wonders of the world ?Kitty Driscoll!" x-.Yi ]/ ? "Yes, it's me, 1/ i / (i Frank," said the I \7 / woman, softly \%V ? closing the door behind her. "Sit down, Kittie and?make yourself right at home, won't you?" bogged her rugged host, a bit fiustered. "I?er?I suppose you're kind of surprised to see me round here?ain't you?" remarked the caller, seating herself. "Yes?kind of. You see, I ain't seen you?since?Maggie died." "I wouldn't be here now, maybe," fala tered the woman, "if?if it wasn't that > * V 1?" "Don't hold back, Kittie," cut in the mi n encouragingly. "I?ain't got much myself, but if I?I can help you out, Ju<st say the word." Kittie Driscoll's heart gave a banging thump. A choking feeling gripped her. "1 ain't needin" anything, Frank." she said in a firmer voice. "It's somethin' else I wanted to speak to you about. It's concerning' the trouble that's been on down to the shop, throwin' you and the rest of the boys out of work, for the last three months. It's been a mighty tough winter, and \ ?I know it's hit you pretty hard, IfTaoK." "Some one's been kiddin' you," he eaid, forcing a smile. "I?I'm all hunkydory, even if I ain't been workin' for Bcme time. You see, I had a nice little piece of money banked away when the row came. But, anyway, it's mighty nice of you to drop in and pay an old friend a social call when things ain't what th6y ought to be. That's the only time when you can find out who's your real friends." "Yes, I know," said his caller, feeling hie evasiveness, "but I came here today to 6quare myself for a dirty turn I once done you." The woman cast a look into the next room where Maggie's anemic children lay in bed asleep. Then she said impulsively, firmly: "When Jack died I got $200 from the Insurance comi"ny. Frank, there's no use you tryin' to bluff me. We're oldtime friends and can talk right out open and above board. It hurts me to say it. but I know how things stand with you, and that you're hard-up for fair. So I've come to lend you the two hundred until things pick up." She shoved a package of greenbacks 1 -1-1? qUICKlJ iH-TUSS UlC IMU1V. iuu van pay It back when you're workin* again." "Kit," choked the man, his eyes blinking, "I hardly know how to thank you. But I'm all right, I ain't needin* anything." "Frank Porter," she returned, her voice ringing sweetly, "you and me was always good friends, back in the old days. So don't you 6ay ancthej word, but just you take this money and use it for yourself and the kids. It's needed and needed bad. I'm a woman, and I know." "Kittle," he began, his voice husky, "you was always Maggie's best friend. My poor little kid," he gulped, blinking painfully, "6he's better off now. Kittie you know it ain't for myself I'm worrvin' about?but for my two littlo girls. And?since you've been so kind as to want to help me out for a little while, I wouldn't be for imposin* on you, so?if you don't mind?I'll borrow about ten dollars." "Xo, no, take it all, Frank; it ain't! no good to me," she urged, rising quickly. "Gocd-by and good luck to you." ? "You ain't goin' so soon, are you,; ruuie: cnpa me man, tiievmiig n* r at the door, "Why?I?I ain't even had time to have a little talk with you. * Stay a while, won't you?" "Yeth. p ease si ay," unexpectedly ! chirped a tot" of four years* who Tad,! ur.st"'n, crawled out of her warm bed. I "Stay?I lilies you " "ITow've the children been?" fal-, ten d the woman through misty eyes, kissing a pair of tiny, pouting lips. "Pretty good," returned the father brokenly. "There ain't no one to give them the right kind of attention, although my old mother does the best ehe can when she e.-n he here. They're ' delicate, just like Maggie was. They need a mother's care badly. Some one ?" He stopped abruptly. "Kittle," ho went on again in a moment, "vou ami = ... i me and Maggie was always the best of friends, back in the old days. The kids here?Maggie's own flesh and blood?ain't got r.o one to give them the right kind of care. They need some one to be a mother to them." The woman's eyes met those of the man in 6udden inquiry. "You?you? you ain't askin'??" "Yes, Kittle." His voice rang manfully, though he brushed a mist from his eyes. "I ask you to promise to become my wife as soon as I go back to work aga'w" "She Raid yeth to herself, papa!" cried out the child. Jumping gleefully, her face radiant with joy. i^vr^l ?$ r^vir, ^ fg t/0iiis vj1 Jv should be ''nipped in the T bud", fcr if allowed to run (yft J * V unchecked, serious results T Y Jj may follow.
