QUEEN STREET

NELLIE’S SHOES SOLD TO BUY BREAD.

A Pathetic Picture of Poverty in a City Full of Christian People.

Down in one of the narrow and forbid- j ding streets near the bay and not far from .larvis street, as i prowled around one night, lsaw a gaunt and ragged woman standing in front of a pawnshop with a parce] in her hand. It waa no new sight, except that the parcel was smaller than people usually carry to such places, and that the woman seemed reluctant to enter the dingy shop which had been visited by thousands of her station in its time. She advanced and retreated sever- al times, but at last, wiping the teara | from her eyes and clearing her throat, she | opened the door and laid the parcel on the counter. Looking through the win- dow I saw what followed. The man re- moved the paper and held up a pair of shoes—a child’s shoes. They were worn and dilapidated, but even a bone from the ash barrel has its price these times in Toronto. The pawnbrokerthrew down a coin on the counter. She pleaded with him, but he, like all his brethren, was obdurate. She sobbed, and he shrugged his shoulders. She wrapped up the shoes and he laughed. She started for the door, | but poverty forced her to turn back and | pick up the coin and leave the shoes.

“You found no pity inthere?”’ I queried as I followel her half a -block, and then walked beside her,

“She took the shoes out to-night to get money to buy bread—what's left to us would hardly bring a dollar.”’ '

“Did you buy my shoes?” queried the girl, who had awakened at the sound of my voice and sat staring at me.

’‘Keep quiet,’’ chided the mother.

‘“‘Now frost, my Lord, to brace its j tissues;’’ said the mouk; and behold, | the little tree stood sparkling with frost. But at evening it died. Then the monk sought the cell of a brother monk, and told his strange experience. '

“*I, too, have planted a little tree,” he said, ‘‘and see, it thrives well. But I entrusted my little tree to its God. He whe made it knows better what it needs than a man like me.
