child of a legitimate saloon. It was a o'clock
in tne rr.ornlng when ho titauirorod into the
sbte door of a don on Dearborn avenue. If
this were fiction we should not dare to make
suena statement In race of a law that com
mands all such places to bn closed at mid
night; but, being an ni'tuil occurrence thnt
took place within four blocks of the Chicago
Deaconess Home, and no hideous dream ot
Inference, we must stato the fnets as they
are. Ho ha 1 thirty cents in the pocket of
htstntlored coat, an 1 he had Come to alakn
tho burning thirst thnt consumed him. Tiiero
were half a rtiwm other loungers there
travelers on tho same road of which he had
nearly reached Ihe end. They knew hltn. It
waa ' Old Dad." When flilo 1 with liquor no
tongue wns sharper than his in wordy com
bats, and his antics had often furnished gen.
toel amusement for the lonferg around tho
criminal court nearby; thev, In turn, gener
ously supplied hltn with small ehnngo forhla
drinks, and ho neoded little else.
The night had been gomewh.it dull for tho
drunken loafers In the saloon, and tho com
ing of "Old Dad" promised a ill version. IJul
Ids ready retorts were a match for their jeers,
nnd tboy wanted something more exciting.
"Walt a mlnuto," aald ouo, "aui we'll
have some fun."
Ha went out and returned with a bucket,
of tar. They threw tho feeblo old man on'
Iho floor and began tearing ofT his clothe
while the bystanders shrieked with delight nt
his usolcss struggles. Then, whllo two bebt
him, one ot the brutes daubed tho hot tnq
ovor his body. When ho cried out they
crammed it into his mouth. They fllle 1 his
ears with tho bla-k, sticky mass, and plas
tered It ovor his eyes. Homo feathers front
uold duster were stuck about his beads
then ho was marched about tho saloon by!
bis tormentors, who laughed aad howled uiH
til they were tlrod. When tho old mnn foil
down from exhaustion, they went oway nn'l
let him He there.
When the turnkey enmo to unlock tho Jail
In the morning he found a pitiable sight. The
miserable man bad dragged hlmsolf out ot
the saloon nnd crouched In ono of tho base
ment windows of the crimintl oourt, a
hideous, unrecognizable mass of filth.
w;is taken to the stntion and ofllcers sent to
arrest tho flouiU who wero Implicated In tho
affair.
Tho victim of this outrage comw of a
proud Virginia family. Ho served honor
uuly In tho CoufiHlernto army, nnd after tho
war wns engineer on tho Chicago aud North

tentive to business, and was considered ouo
of the best engineers on the road. Hut tho

years he has wandered about the streets,
Bleeping wherever ho could lay his bend.

Strangely do s line people talk of "getting
over" a great sorrow overleaping it, puss
ing it by, thrusting it into oblivion. Not so.
No one' ever does that, at least no nature
which can be touched by the fueling of grl'd
ul nil. 'I he only way Is to pass through tlie
ocean of altliet'lou solemnly, slowly, with
humility and faith, as the Israelites passed
through tint sea. Then Its very waves nl
misery will divide and become to us a wall
on the right side and on the left, until tin!
