Barrett's persuasion won the otHer to the agreement to stay ns long as he could and still entch nn early evening train for New York. Bnrrett acreened of? one corner of the room, and select ing a comfortable chair, begun his vigil. . A second figure, short and squatty, entered the Trade» building.

Spanith Believe That Bread Is Sacred Food Do you ever throw away your bread, write« a friend of the Companion, or even toss aside a crust? In Spain It Is against the law to do «o.

To Illustrate just what happen», If you are careless enough to throw brend away, let me tell you nn actual Incident thnt occurred In Barcelona. A little Spanish boy left his house, eating a slice of brend, but he soon tired of It and, without thinking, threw it down upon the sidewalk. Hardly hud he dune so when a hand grasped bls elbow and he looked up into the' face of a pollcemnn. “You cannot throw brend awny like that,” the man told him. “You nre brenklng the law. Pick It up nnd come with me.” The boy, startled, picked up the bread, ami the man drew him ahmg down n side street until they came to a sheltered comer between two buildings. "Kiss the brend, hljo mio, nnd Iny It carefully down here on this stone that the dogs mny ent of It. and it shnll not be wasted," commanded the pollcemnn, nnd the boy did as he wns told.—Youth'« Companion.
