That child must have lived through a
tragedy!
One cold, dismal afternoon I de-
cided to visit the orphan home. When
I entered the corridor I stood stilt an
disappointment. Not a sound was to
be heard. From one of the helpers I
learned that a wealthy woman had
decided to give the children a treat
and had taken them to a moving pic-
ture theater.
"She took even the little ones,"
said the helper.
"I'll wait," I declared. 1 had not
visited the home for over two weeks,
and I had already been chided for nty
negligence by a postal card from one
of the girls in which she asked me
whether I did not like them any more.
In the library 1 decided to wait. I
found an old magazine. But it was
rather dark in the library, so I went
to the parlor. As I entered I ob-
served a child crouching in a large
leather rocker, As I approached the
child started, and Florence looked up
at me with eyes red with weeping. I
sat down in the rocker and put my
arms around the child. We sat for a
few moments silently.
Finally she said apologetically, "I
became lonesome. I was thinking of
my little sister."
"I didn't know you had a sister,
dear," I said.
The child sighed. "1 had a little
brother, too. He used to tease me
His name was Daniel."
"Was your brother sick long?" 1
inquired.
"No, he wasn't sick," she said soft-
ly. "And my little sister wasn't sick."
They must have died through an
accident, I thought.
"I had lots of pretty things," the
child continued. "I had three dolls,
and a little piano, and a bed for the
dollies, and once Uncle Seymour
brought me a little cupboard. It was
so cunning! Uncle Seymour was so
nice, but l'apa didn't like him. l'apa
wasn't jolly like Uncle Seymour.
Sometimes he would get real cross,
and he would scold everybody, even
Mamma. Mamma used to cry a lot.
lie used to have such good times
when Uncle Seymour would come. He
used to play the piano, and sometimes
we would dance, and sometimes
Mamma would sing. Daniel didn't
dance, because he thought he was too
old. Ile was only two years older
than tne. My little shier Lucille was
just as cunning! She couldn't talk
plain, and she used to call me Two-
ence.'
"It was funny, but she used to be
afraid of l'apa. Maybe she was afraid
because she didn't see min much. She
used to be sleeping when he came
home. Lots of times, Papa came home
late. Once I heard httii coining home
when I woke up, and it was light
outside. He talked loud and scolded,
and I got scared."
The child remained silent.
She
seemed to be recalling certain scenes.
Then she resumed: "One evening
Mamma was sitting in a rocking chair
and putting Lucille to sleep. I'apa
put his coat on and said he was going
away. "
"Stay home tonight," said Mamma.
"It's lonely for me to sit home alone
at night."
"Too bad," said liana. "Perhaps
you could persuade Seymour to come
and keep you company. He'll make
things jolly."
"He comes because he knows that
I am lonely. Don't you want anyone
to sympathize with me?"
"Then Papa laughed and started to
go away. But Mamma cried and said,
"I'lease don't go. You'll play cards, I
know. The cards will ruin all of us."
"It's none of your business what I
do," Papa said, and then he banged
the door.
Then Mamma cried a little and
went to the telephone and called up
Uncle Seymour. Then Uncle Sey-
mour came and Mamma cried and

told him I'apa went away and took a
lot of money with him.
"You ought to go away," said Uncle
Seymour. "You ought to have done
that long ago, for the sake of the
children."
But Mamma cried and said, "I can't.
I can't."
"Not for always," said Uncle Sey-
mour. "Ile will change if he sees that
you leave hint."
The child nestled her head in my
awns as if to obscure the next scene.
Then she continued: "The next even-
ing Mamma was sitting in the dining
room with Lucille on her lap. Daniel
was looking at the jokes in a news-
paper. I was in the sitting-room in
front of the window. I heard I'apa
come in. He talked loud and it
sounded like scolding, but I couldn't
hear what he said. I heard Mamma
say real loud, "I can't stand this any
more. I'll go away."
"Go," shouted Papa, and then I
hearda shot. Mamma screamed.
There were some more shots. I got
scared and ran out into the street.
The people from the next house ran
out. A lady took me into her house.
After a while I said that I wanted to
go home because Mamma would
worry. She didn't know where I Was.
The lady cried and said that I must
stay in her house. She put me to bed
and told me to be a good girl. I was
sleeping in the morning when Uncle
Seymour came. I asked him to take
me to /stamina. Ile cried and said
that I would never see Mamma again,
and Daniel and Lucille. Then I knew
that they were dead.
"Papa, will I see him again?" I
asked Uncle Seymour.
"Ile shook his head. Then an aunt
came and took me in her house. Aft-
er a while she sent me to another aunt.
'this aunt sent use here."
