Two Iionelj Uves
MARY STONE was
walking down the street,
returning to her home
after a visit made to
some little girl friend.
The day was very cold,
and Mary held her muff
close against her face as
she hurried along the
almost deserted street.
Just as Mary turned a corner she saw
a little kitten run from an old, unten
anted honse, going across the street
towards a small park. The poor little
animal looked cold and miserable, and its
thin body spoke of starvation and abuses.
In a moment Mary's sympathy was en
listed, and she turned across the street,
going in pursuit of the kitten. She had
conceived the idea of carrying the
wretched little thing to her home, where
it should have food and warmth and
loving care.
u Yes, sif ; did you see where it went?
I want to catch it and carry it home with
me. It looks so miserable."
The old man sighed. "Yes, to be out
in the cold and hungry, and no friend
in the world is enough to make a crea
ture animal or man miserable. I think,
little girl, that the kitten is in one of
those boxes. Don't frighten it. It has
been used so badly that it is afraid of
any person even a friend."
Mary thanked the old man and turned
to continue searching for the kitten.
But after a little while she gave up in
despair, for the kitten seemed to have
disappeared from the earth. She turned
towards the street, but in doing so she
saw the old man looking in a garbage
barrel for food. When he found that he
was being watched his pale face flushed
and he turned to leave the barrel. Mary's
heart throbbed with pity. The man was
so old and thin, his face pale from the
pangs of hardship, his eyes dim with
unspoken misery. Going to him, she,
said : " Are you in need, sir ! "

When Mary had almost reached the
kitten's side, and had stooped over to
grasp it in her arms, saying " Kitty,
kitty, come here," the frightened animal
ran oft down an alley-way, for kind
treatment had never been bestowed on
it, and it did not know that the little
girl who was trying to capture it had
good intentions, llather did it think
there was more torture for it .to suffer
should it fall into her hands, so it ran
off as fast as ever it could, hiding from
sight. But Mary had seen the kitten
disappear behind an old barrel in the
alley, and thither she went in pursuit of.
it, calling gently, " Kitty-cat, kitty-cat,
come to me. I'll not hurt you, kitty ! "
As Mary began searching behind the
barrel, and some boxes also piled there,
she heard a noise at her elbow. Turning
she beheld a very old man in ragged
clothes. He was leaning on a stick, and
his face was drawn and white. He was
in the shadow of an old stable, and Mary
supposed he had come from its shelter.
She knew at once that he was some poor
outcast.
"Say, little girl, are you after the
kitten that just run round that barrel?"
asked the man.
Tears leaped to the old man's eyes.
" Yes, little girl, I am greatly in need.
I have been out of iwork for such a long
time. I am in real need. But a child
like you cannot help me. I thank you,
though, for your sweet, interested look,
and for your having noticed a worn-out
old man."
"But I can help you, sir," declared
Mary. "I live just round that block
yonder number eleven and my papa
and mamma are very kind people. They
will find something for you to do, I am
sure, if you will call there and say I sent
you. I must look a little further for
that poor kitten, but I'll run home very
soon. Please do go to my house num
ber eleven and ask for my mother,
Mrs. Stone, and tell her I sent you."
" But, little girl, I fear she'll think me
a common old beggar, and I couldn't
bear to be thought that, for I never
begged a penny in my life. I have been
seeking for work everywhere but can
not find anyone who will employ such a
a good-for-nothing old man. You see,
child, after the body has bf come broken
by hard labor, the face aged by time, no
one wants you about. They think an
old person can't work. But I could
