and actresses who have furnished such
examples. But let a person find him-
self without money and without friends
and he realizes the condition he is in.
Few there are who keep their heads

He was full of resource and could in-
vent ways to get out of holes. Often ;
he would not know where a weed was

gone hungry for any considerable time.
Having finished his college course, he
concluded that a trip to Europe was

his last year, and with this he bought

walked over Switzerland and Italy
and one day found himself in Genoa
ready to go home. but having not a

A steamer was to still that afternoon,
and Tom strolled aboard of her. Ile-

He was standing on an upper deck
on which opened windows of smile-
rooms. Hearing a baby cry behind
him, he turned and saw u woman en-
deavoriug to soothe the child. She
was a delicate looking young mother,
and the child seemed to trouble tier.I
Tom smiled at the baby. and it stop

"Let me take your baby.” said Tom I

"Madam," replied Tom. “I am at
