A STORY IN 1892. BY (JE .I. PtJTNAM Tht this hould hve happened at all is sad enough ; bui that it should haTe come so goon after the feasting and the good-will of Christmas and New Year's, gites a refined intenaitj to it i bitterness. And yet it is but t single incident, and. aside from its own pathos, is capable only of illus rating life actual existence as is seen by too many people in' that va uely.fdefined East Side tenement district. i ? - -When snow came during the first week of the ' new year, there came with it a sudden change of tempera ture. The air was biting cold, and ihe wet chill crept up the streets from the East rirer, and fastened lt- lf unon the marrow of the tene ment i dwellers. ' The poorly ' fitted loors and windows presented little opposition to the. nereo wind, ana the; snow was blown into rooms in long, angry streamers. And in at least one room the snow did not melt as it came ; there was no nre in that- room, no fuel for a fire, no tove in which to build one ine jnly warmth - there was was that iven out bf the puny bodies of three spindling children two sisters just ld enougn to nave oeeu mcKea into nug cribs in warm rooms and kissed tf sleep by loving mothers, and tneir aby brother. - -It is a terrible thing to say that there were those living who were re sponsible for the existence of these little ones, and that they did nothing absolutely nothing lo warm, feed and clothe them, llioro was a lam er and mother. , The family had moved into the room during Christ mas week, jloving was not a dilfi cult .task, for there wore not enough household goods to warrant the em- nvmant ol a 8lH2ie ff?ou. dt a Rino-ie wnon i . tt - turns the two mue siBiers canieu , , . 1 .

Fera few days the mother sat m the room, crouched on the noor, a shawl over her head, and rocking her bodv back and forth as- as she repeated "Me man is drunk. ..Me man i runk.''; No one disputed her.' As no 'one could say he was sober, the fact of his drunkenness - . . rati was accepted without question, ine two little cirls nursed the baby be tween them, feeding him bread soak ed in milk and water, or in undiluted water, to still his fretful cries. And they looked, with wonder in their arge eyes, at their motner, ior now hfrhad changed her cry,' and moan ed i . VMeman is dead. Mo man is dead.- Lhey had not haard that before. It was not so awful to them as being drunk, however, for that iaei 11 meant curses and KieKS ana diows ; but death was a mystery, arid well, who could tell them what it meant ? When the wind was shrieking its fiercest, and the snow-cloud whirl ins: highest, the mother rose to her feet and went out. She was away all the .afternoon. There was no comfort for her at home ; there was no fire, no food, no bed. So she staid away. The litilo sisters, hud dled in a corner with the baby be tween them, and silently watched the ' snow sift in over the floor in lengthening windrows. The baby cried unceasingly. Little Mary said at last : , "Do you think baby's hungry?" "I don't know. Do you?" re plied Katy. "1 don't know " Marv answered slowly. bhe and Katy were both hungry, but they did not say tots, lhey had lived so long in their few years, and been hungry so much, that they could accept it uncomplainingly, a. a part of life. But the baby that was different ; they could condone his crying from hunger, for he had it all to learn. By and-by Mary epoke again : "I wish mother would come." "I do, too," said Katy. It was lonesome. The room was darkening fast, and, the snow, creep ing over and past their feet,' was so pitilessly cold ; and it made such strange shapes, whirling in the half light. The mother would have taken no notice of them had she been there, but they would have found an appreciable comfort in her mere presence, lhey knew the value bf small joys ; large ones did not enter ' into their sphere. They would have welcomed any animate thine a big, warm doe to lie against: anything but the fearful dark, and tno com, insiaious snow. - Finally Mary slipped out of the room. "111 fetch mother," she said, and was gone. She knew very well where to look just at the corner where the win dows were warm with yellow Jight, and a hot draught of air was at the door. Mary pushed the swinging door . and stood inside. There, to her eyes, appeared men standing at a long table down one side of the room, drinking out of glasses yellow and red and white liquids. They called for more, and talked among them selves ; they were engrossed in their comfort. - No one saw Mary as she crept down the room, and at the end, at a table, found her mother. The woman was sodden. Iler hiir hune shawl lay on the floor, among the crusts and rinds of a free lunch, and she mumbled to herself inarticulate- iy. let sne reeoguizeu iuary, anu drove her away by look and gesture. And the little girl crept out again, and returned to her sister and the baby. ' ': . : . Iirave little girl I it was not nec essary to explain to Katy why she came alone, one saia noining oi the momentary warmth of the saloon, that had set her chilled little frame to trembling all ovef. - Katy herself tumb and blue, mX that was not h mentioning.

But there wag not arm ; even the" other dwellers in the house seemed tbliave forgotten them. And the very tears shed by angels weeping over their misery turned to snowflakes that fluttered through the room, and lay cold against the sisters' cheeks i By-and-by Mary stirred . Sh had been asleep. She awoke Katy. The baby was quiet, "I guess he's -cried himself out," said Mary. "Yes, he's asleep," 8aid Katy. -Then they lay down and slept again.. It was morning when they nxt awoke. They jumped up, aud the snow fell from their thin little dresses a d thin little legs on the floor. They looked at the baby, ly ing' there half covered with snow. "How sound he sleeps !" eaid Katy. said, "I'm 5 going to Jy.". And directly she woman of the house. ied till he cried himself out," said M iry, (and then he slept.

A Chicago dog," has been distinguishing: himself recently. II ia a moaaber of the aauina ariateracy that sleeps en cushion ia warm rooms, hav baths in Doreahun tubs twice a week, and live principally on tenderloin steka. This particular dog is of tbeapaniel family, and has long since acquired the reputation of a perfect gentle mao. , For several days past the servant under whoa immediate onto thie dogtie placed has noticed that ho seemed unwilling to eat Jhlv breakfast in the houa. Every morning he took Lis portion of meat between hi , jaws ' walked to the doer, wgg4 his tail, and looked appealing ly into the servant's y. If th door was opened in response to this mute requcat he disappeared immediately axid was neta aain until luncheon.'- If the doorjwas net opened he plaeod the meat on the floor closed by and sat guard event until an opportunity far escape arrived. t The dog's mistress learned of his unao eouutablo conduot. , She was 'very much interested, and engaged a detective to shad ow the dog and report upon his proceedings and conduct The detective was her broth er, so bis services was gratuitous. This merniug he stationed himself outside the kitchen and when the dog appeared was careful not to attract hi attention. Bat the dog aaw him, and immediately put e an air ol dilletante indifference as theugk ho bad an idea of taking a eonstitutioaal. but wasn't quite sure whether he felt well nough. So th deteetive pretended te be ' busy looking for.feur-leayod clovers. The dog was a trifle suspicious at first, but the deteotivo was a good actor, and xaanagad to deceive him completely ; and presently i th dog lounged awy toward the gate, and then, when he thought th detective wasn't looking, sneaked out Down the alley h trotted, a fat beef iteak in his mouth, aad presently turned into a vacant shed ia the next block. WLen the detective arrived be foand th dog aitting quietly in the coinrof theshed. Ha seemed rather surprised and a good deal mortiflad, but was extremely , eerdiaL In another corner of the shed th last piece of steak was rapidly going down the throat ef another dog. Thia dog Was not , ktads, some . In fact, he was about th homeliest, dirtiest, most unkempt and generally ud ap dog the dtctiv had ver aeen. There was an ugly sor on hi side and his ribo were proaineat. But ho was a dag, if he wasn't beautiful, and the other dog's chart, ty was clearly his support And this, good people, was a dog.
