He comes from anywhere; aye, from Nazareth: Prom north and south, the cast and west; He comes as comes the cool grateful breeze's breath: He need not be an angel from the blest; He might be, thus, too good for man's companionship. that, himself a'en and from and np ns FDLEGW PSI BR PEPIN PUG IES “Number Forty.” By PRISCILLA LEONARD, EPEPEVEPL INS Forty stood at S PGE PEM Hy PEPERE Policeman Number the corner and looked down the swarming street, Tt was one of t dirtiest streets of the oity, in the dis trict of the aliens. The fry- ing polenta and of decayed ‘mingled with acrid odors of rags and Junk, hung ick in the air. The dark-eyed, wowashed children of Italy played In multitudes on aldewalk and etreet as Number Forty gazed one way. When he turned and looked to the other side, a vista of signs in Yiddish met his eye, ohildren this time Iaraelitish Number name was Mat Sheehan, twenty-one, and who had been on force for only a week, sighed heavily. “Sure, | don't know what to be doin’ or =ayvin'. 1 don't know their ways or their manners, or even when a policeman neaded, geeln’ I can’t tell from their whether they're quarrelin’ or up.

The last man on the bead had been used to rapping the boys with his club on occasion: and besides, an officer of the unknown law, in this new, unknown land was a person slways to be shunned as far as possible. Who knew what he might do? Not the blackbrowed Italian mothers. nor the pale sweat shop workers of the Ghetto, Barriers of ignorance and fear, barriers of language and race, fenced them off from WNmmber Forty, and Number Forty from them. The now policeman had just reach. od the middle of the block when from round the corner came a girl aight, her black eyes fairly pop ping ont of her head with fright. In deed, her fright was such that it conquered all lesser foars, and drove Ger up to Number Forty's side, “Signor Polees, da fire, da fire!” was al she could say, panting, and grabbing Sheehan by the coat, as if to pull him along. Number Forty took her hand instead, and started to ran dlong back with her, as he oried: “Where? Where?” “Metropolitano rounda de street!” gnaped the girl, dragging him along with all her might “It's that old fire-trap of a Metro: politan—anny one would know thim tenements would burn up! Sure, wait now--walt! Will I have to shake you to make you stop, girl? 1 must turn in the alarm first” A crowd was following close on the heels of the two, and swarmed round Number Forty, as he opened the box and rang In the alarm. Poles, ItaMans, Jews, all surged ahead and arrived at the Metropoli- tan teniements before he got there, with Maria Giulia Crescenza Still clinging to him. It was a fire, sure anouzn. The amok* was rolling out from the basement In volumes, and on the firoescapes, up all the seven stories, men, women and children svere pouring out, endeavoring to carry down their beds, babies and Household goods. Ni ‘Forty hesliated not one In stant. the band of Maria a smell of bananas, th unmistakably Forty, whose who was but the lingo makin’ Chinks, 3 ’ they is re one 1 me evil ove" | i | thereupon clung to his coat, he took command of the situ. ation. The engines could not arrive for some time, and It was his busi ness to met the people out, and get them out safe, He oalled out to the crowd: “If there's anny one can speak English, let him come here!* A pale-faced boy pushed the crowd. “1 spik de Engliy, sare.

He looked about him as one bewildered, “Tell them to kape quiet, can't youn, Joe?" sald Number Forty. “It's all over, and there's none hurt” “They are pot afraid any more” said Joseph, the interpreter “They say you are the deliverer—the brave one!
