GRACIOUS OLD MAN ROBS GENTLE LADY

Given Hospitality of Home,

White River Junctim,m. Vt.—A gentle old woman e recently had .n.x;‘;ru.% has severely straifiéd “her fafth’ in human nature.” She¢' was a“strong believer in the virtue of helping her fellow man. So, when an old man came along, saw her sitting on her shady porch and asked if he might ease his aching feet, she smiled pleasantly and invited him to sit on the porch. In the conversation which followed her sympathies were deeply touched, and when he said he would atly appreciate a cup of tea 1&. his ‘“‘dear, departed wife” used to make for him, the old woman lit the oil stove and prepared to make the tea.

Meanwhile, she hamnod to think of an old bottle of ‘wine down cellar which hadn’t been touched since pre-prohibition days. With generous impulse, she brought her visitor a cup of the deep, red ‘wine, for which he thanked her many times. Later he drank two cups of tea. After that he ‘“‘just naturally felt so sleepy”’ that he asked his hostess if he might take a nap in her rocking chair in the quiet kitchen. She cheerfully acquiesced. After the man had taken his nap, he took his leave, again thanking her profusely for her hospitality. Then the old woman went to the adjoining room to get her purse to pay the grocery man. She had cashed a $4O check the day before and knew that she had ”z and a few cents left! But she could not find even the few cents. She cried most of the night, heartbroken over the wickedness' and ungtateful nature of mankind.
