But, as 1 liave said, there's
just one reason for my remaining

unknown to me.
Hut 1 do know her.
Maybe what I am telling you
Bounds as romantic and far
fetched as some of motion picture
dramas you've seen on the
screen I'erhaps it Is romantic.
This is the way of it:
Years ago. in London, while 1
was ttruggitag my po\ert> -at rick
en \va\ through the slums, a mere I
' hid. I did anything to turn an
1 honwM farthing. Through the
ImUlur of ni'ws|ia|iers on the
[street!, I picked up a few pence.
One wintry day, M I stood on
I ii;% corner, cliilled through and
[through, a handsome victoria
drow ap, A pretty little Kir I. all
dressed in white furs, hopped out,
and purchased a paper. QtviM
'me a hall-crown, she bade me
Tk«tp the change, With a daullng
ißinile she cliinhcd into the victoria
I and was driven awa) .
K\ery day after that slue
would drive up and buy a paper,
paying either a sixpence or shill
ing. I Rt'ew to await her coming.
I It was frequently the one bright
spot in an otherwise cheerless
day.
One week I caught a had cold,
and became so ill I had to take to
my lied. How 1 fretted and
| finned at being away from that
precious corner!
A week I spent thus, and then
— marvelous hour that it was!
■he came to see me, bringing me
flowere, candle*, and sweetmeats.
Her coinitiK transformed my bare
Uttle room into fairyland. She
told me she had missed me from
the corner, and had searched dili
gently until she found me.
Kvery day she sent me flowers
and dninties until I regained ray
henlth. Soon afterward, I went
to work as a program hoy, and
then she suddenly disappeared.
I have never seen her since.
But I will evtr remember her.
Main a time I have dreamed of
the little Kill who nave mr her
smiles and her gifts. Her mem
ory lias been a dearly cherished
thing.
And some of these dnjß I will
return to England. I will search
out that little girl--even though
grownup, she will always be the
"litt'e nirl to me and, If she bo
wills, the romance will begin
anew.
