1 Paris.—Robert Epiphane was look-
I Ing down at tho river wondering.
■He was seventeen years old. and
whenever the police arrested him his
। trade was entered on the books as
I "mattress-maker." Some years ago
I Robert had worked at mattress mak
I ing. That is to say, he had a vague
recollection of combing wool for an
old woman who made over mattresses
outside house doors and who gave
Robert something to eat when he re
fused to do any more work on an
empty stomach.
But that was a long time ago. Rob
ert Epiphane was not quite sure how
long ago it was, because he had bee.n
i hungry for a long time. He had slept
lon a bench on the boulevards the
I night before.
Then the miracle happened. Kob
i ert Epiphane was looking at. the wa
ter and wondering. And as he looked
i at the water a little boat drifted by—
I an absurd little boat made of an old
i cigar box, a bit of lead pencil and
string. Robert. Epiphane looked at it
lazily. Then ho shouted aloud.
He had scon a penny piece—-two
whole sous!- in the cigar box. Rob
ert Epiphane never knew how he
got. down to the water.
"Halves," said a voice, in a whis
per, behind him. Robert Epiphane
gave a whimper that was meant to be
a how) of rage. Then, slipping the
penny into his mouth (it was weak,
but it was safer than in his pocket),
he struck blindly at another raga
muffin, who caught him as he fell.
The other ragamuffin was standing
over him as lie sat on the muddy
ground. "Well, old man,” ho whis
pered, in the hoarse, voiceless whis
per In which he had said "Halves '
the voice which starvation and ex
posure gives to Paris wastrels "Well,
old man, and what about it?" ‘lts
mine," said Robert Epiphane; "I can
get a bit of sausage and bread for it.
"Come with me," said the other.
They had not far to go. On the
way the second scarecrow, whose
name he told Robert was Maurice
Faction, was spinning a fairy tale
which amused Robert but which he
did not believe. It was all about a
forgotten sower pipe a beautiful big
piece of piping furnished with sack
ing and a stove —a big pipe In a quiet
