The boy now shifted the bag a little higher on his hip and prepared to trudge o Feeling something strangely like pity stirring in her hardened old heart, a peculiar mistiness over-spreading the sharpness of her black eyes making them soft and beautiful, Miss Avery hung far out the window and impulsively called, Here Boy, I want a paper. just bring it up to No. 409. The little urchin nodded and entered the Bonston Flats. P ' A Z 0911112 sinh 6611121 LITERARU SECTION Miss Avery s Reward V Iapers, paperslu came the shrill cry of a newsboy. Extra, Extra!

Miss Avery was fat and forty. She had plenty of money but she was troubled with nerves. She simply could not endure those terri- ble little newsboys yelling like so many wild Indians on the war path. Now as she Hung wide her window, she cast her sharp black eyes about searching for the small culprit. She saw him standing down there by a light post resting. The sharp threat she had intended for him died in her throat. The little chap must have been about ten. His closely cropped hair showed black against the white pallor of his skin. The day was cold and the boy's lips were blue and pinched. The blue blaze of his eyes above them somehow startled Miss Avery. They were mature for such a little thing and they shone from the whiteness of his face with a clear intense light that seemed to challenge the world-to defy it. He stood quite still there by the light post his thin little legs planted far apart. The shoes encasing the small feet were worn and pitifully shabby. His emaciated little body was wrapped in only a ragged, dirty, grey sweater. Over one shoulder, the white bag full of papers was slung, dragging one side of him down with their heaviness. l 'I I l is I , l P 5, il A few minutes later Miss Avery was opening the door for the dirty, shivering little newsboy. When he had given her the paper, and had turned to descend the stairs he felt Miss Avery's hand on his shoulder. 'l l Here Boy, she said, I've a lot of hot chocolate in here that I don't know what to do with. And say, Boy, do you like cookies ? The white face of the little urchin lighted. His lips parted in a delighted pill but boy, if you are, you're sugar coated. MARION BOTHNVELL.
