Little Jean, so cold and hungry this winter evening, who had eaten nothing since noon of the day before, and who had finallv decided to write to tuB-Yus tin. "Sna Bow,' say yon, did Jean, who no more knew how to write than he knew bow to read, arrange this letter? LiBten, for it is that which 1 am going to tell yon. . Below there, in the qnarter of the Grus-Caillou, at the corner of the avenne not far from the Esplanade, there, was a shop, in the "days I tell of, of apnblio writer, for in those days also there were so many claims and petitions tp be made to the government and so many people, like Jean, that did not know how to write. And the writer that kept this shop was an old soldier far on in years, a brave man bnt a little testy, who was anything bnt rich and had the additional misfor tune of not being sufficiently chopped to pieces to secure admission to the Hotel des lnvalides. Jean, without prying at all. had many times seen him through the dingy glasses of his little cubby bole smoking his pipe and awaiting customers, and so today he entered fearlessly with a civil "Good-day, monsieur. 1 have come, If yon please, for yon to write me a let ter." "Ten sons, little one." Pere Bonin re aponded, guzing over his spectacles at the midget before him. Jean had no cap. and was therefore unable to lift it, but he said very po litely: "Then excuse me!" and he turned to reopen the door. But, pleased with his manners,. Pere Bonin stopped him. ' "Stayl" said he: "tell me first, little one. it you are the son of a soldier. "Oh, nol" said Jean, "only mamma's sou. and she's all alone.

They must live. To live they must eat, and it seems to me that in the more deso late portion of the country, to eat, they must beg. Very picturesque were they seen from the car window in the soft gloom of the southern night, their dark eyes gleaming like stars under their quaint hat or still more primitive Bean oress, tneir wniie teeth glittering as the musical Spanish rippled forth in compliments calculated to appeal to the generosity of the senorita who seemed to them a small sized Provi dence. In the cruel glare of the sun de fects became evident, and one saw tne coarseness in the squalor and dirt, still never did they cease to rje poenc mcy hartnonUed so perfectly with the back ground of cloudless sky, antique build ings, and tropical verdure. There was a beauty even in their very ugliness which was a plea for their existence and in re membering the pleasantest journey of my life I shall always have a very tender recollection of the beggars of Mexico.
