It was just today that I had learned of her tribulations, and as she sat with tear-dimmed eyes, she unfolded, with re- luctance, secrets which she had bravely hidden, proudly fearing, no doubt, “the scorn of charity.’’ But now her burden is teo great for her to bear, and when I heard the story of this kindly little mother I thought of the above text, and wondered what Christ meant. She is old, this little mother, perhaps before her time, and in days gone by she was happy and prosperous, and then one day it happened, as most of us no doubt have learned, and she Was left alone, to fight the widow’s battle for her little “brood.” And she has conquered—up to now.

Aerai MICHAEL TAKES UP THE STORY I lunched one Sunday morning at the Cafe de Paris with my friend Gaston Lefevre, the well-known In- muranee agent of the Rue Scribe—a luncheon specially planned to cele- brate the winding-up of one of the greatest coups of our partnership. “You must now be a very wealthy man, my friend,” Lefevre sald to mo a trifle enviously. “[ have enough,” I answered. “As nm matter of fact, that Is one of the reasons why I have decided to levy no more contributions upon the fools of the world.” “You are not going to retire?” Le. fovtc cried In. tone of alarm. “Absolutely,” I assured him, “T have burned all my boats in England, destroyed all ciphers, sealed up my secret places of refuge and wald good-bye to all my friends.
