McLACHLAN, Princi wancencacraene' Mrs. Winslows Soothing Syrup has Nathan-Kasky was small and thin and pale, with a little wisp of grayish brown beard outside his frowzy coat collar and two beady, black, pathetic eyes peering out from under the brim of bis old derby bat. He closed the door of his little shop and made his way toward the-Brook- lyn bridge. , Every night after supper be went there to smoke bis il! smeiling pipe and watch the jeweled radiance of the even- ing clad cities, the shadowy outlines of passing ships and the flashing evo- lotions of restless tugs and ferryboats in the river below. . Tonight his usual! nook.in tbe angle of the fron railing was occupied by the despondent figure of a man. As Nathan approached the stranger straightened himself and leaned eagerly forward, with one band on the railing. Nathan stretched out a pallid, dye grimed hand and touched the man's: arm. "Don'tr' he cried excitedly from his scanty store of English words. The stranger turned, and the electric light revealed that he was young and well dressed and. moreover, that be was bandsome, although his face just now was bitter enough. "What's the matter?' he demanded irritably. "Excuse! pleaded Nathan ples jumps sometimes." The bitterness vanished in a pleas- ant grin. "You thought I was going to jump over?" demanded the young man. "Yes, sir--excuse." and Nathan couched depreeatingly behind bis hand. The little tailor stood in abashed si- lence beside bis new acquaintance. He felt that now be should witbdraw, bot at the same time be thought that some kind parting word from him might lessen the misery of a wretched young "Peo- map. Nathan judced hastily. "Your vife-- she bas t'rown you out?" he asked with plty In bis rolce, "It's worse than tbat! Tbe voice conveyed a meaning which the quick- ly spoken words did not. The tailor's hand went Into his sag- ging vest pocket and extracted a large purse. From this be brought a soll- tary silver quarter shining in the faint light. Pik be extended toward the young "Becel" be sald elmply. The stranger stared and then his own palm jingled with silver. "Not quite as bad as that, old man. Thank "WHERE\DID YOU FIND IT?" you just the same, though." He saw the greedy look In Nathan's eyes. "Is that all you've got?' be demanded b The Jittle tallor's purse went back into bis pocket. "Yes, excuse--bizness iss bad," be said apologetically. The other was beside him instantly. "Who are you--where do you live?" Nathan explained brokenly and with gesticulations to take the place of words which be could not command. "I'll go home with you now. You can mend my coat for me and press it. My waistcoat needs mending too. BSee--all the buttons are coming of! The stranger fell into step beside Nathan Natban lighted his faring gas jet and set the goose to heat over another flame. He adjusted a large palr of born rimmed spectacles and snipped busily. "Hafe you told your trubble to a polissman?" "Good Lord, nol Why do you ask that?" "Excuse! | bafe a little trubble aneet. I loose me mine money--75 cents. I ask a frendt bass be seen any loose moneys and bow I am trubbled, and be sess to tell my trubbles to a poliss- man." Nathan's voice waa abjectly apologetic. ."What did the policeman say when you told him?" inquired the stranger with a carefully suppressed smile.
