+e WAITED 17 YEARS FOR WHITE DEATH: HERO TO THE END George Kramer Quit Work Fearing Others Might Be Infected With Virus. LIVED ON HIS SAVINGS, Died Alone in His Room in Brooklyn, His Only Friends Being Away. George Kramer was found dead to-day fm a dark, littered room at No, 817 Fur- man street, Brooklyn. He was a mute hero of the White Death. Kramer, handicapped in life by a twisted, puny body, was a tailor in past years. He worked at his trade, doubled up on a bench In a dimly lighted loft, until seventeen years ago two red apots grew on his cheeks and his de- formed spine began to be racked with the rigors of a cough. For a time the Uttle tatlor kept his heart and toiled at his bench, but meanwhile he read in books of the White Death and he be- came convinced of his duty. “I will stop work,” he told his em- ployer, ‘and I will shut myself up. It is dangerous for others that I should be abroad; that they should work at the same bench with me. Goodby."’ QUITS HIS WORK THAT OTHERS MAY LIVE. So George Kramer, the hunchback who Mount had to teach, quit his trade and went to live alone—that others might not be infected with the virus of the White Death. He had saved some money, He carefully computed how long with in- findte care that money might provide the bare necessities of Ife and he set the order of his life by the hard tally of dollars and cents. He had one room on the second floor of the Furman street house. To that room he kept by day, never showing his face to the other tenants in the house. Most of the people there only knew that the “Coughing Man” lived in that Ittle room, whose blinds were always closed. But at night—late at nights when no one was on the streets but the police men—George Kramer used to creep down from lila retreat and take walks through t streets—alone. All others, he were in bed and..safe from that was always with him. orge Kramer used to walk at with the White Death ever at ears went by, and then Mre. Caroline Walsh moved into the Furman street house. Mra, Walsh {s a mother; she A great mother love, which means love for atl. She got to know the "Coughing Man" by conversations through the panels of his door. She saw his face only rarely. But she heart- ened him—this mother who was the only one in the house to think, except wit loathing, of the “Coughing Man." MRS. WALSH AND HER CHIL. DREN AICED HIM. Mrs. Walsh used to stop at the door has could do for Kramer—any little errands to the grocery store, She or one of hier girls would do these little errands Usually they would leave the food out- side the closed door, because Krame: him, But three days ago Mrs. Walsh and the children went out of town.
