Uttla «l ml*, t'orrlcan's Thlo Hhuulderi i ear a Heavy lluiden.

The i |i- l i hllil martyr doesn't wear a long •tint.' npnin from her chin to her heels i trry a s l inl low wicker basket nnd trot n l x n t all tiny In t h e jos t l ing , hiiny throng ol a New York shop, responding to mori' or KSH voc i ferous d e m a n d s for "eash ." Yet this is jus t what Is dono by n small iiiuiden w h o s e l i fe is ful l of as nohle. iinM'lINi devot ion a s ever earned a crown in the "noble nrmy."

Little Mamie Corrlgan looks abeut 10 years of age . She Is a frail creature, w h o nilght be pretty if her wan face did not carry a painful suggest ion of being half starved. S h e has big blue-grar eye*, shitiled with black lashes, anil a mass of sof t brown hair, brushed till It shines, b u n g i n g over thin shotiMers, which have a p i t i fu l , weary droop. For three months l i tt le Mamie bos been the c i ik-fauppoH of l-ee fntully. Herniother has been an Inval id for more I ban a year. Her fa ther was stricken wi th rheuma-t ism this winter , and there arc four brothers and sisters younger than the heroine of tbe cash basket i n d the white apron,

Mamie, w h o l e f t school lo become the bread winner , earns ^ a week. Early in the i i iorning she r ises lo prepare food for the fami ly before go ing to the store. Many a t ime , h o w e v e r , there has not been any breakfast to get , and the l i tt le o n e bas worked fas t ing until some of the j kind saleswotf len, d iscover ing the child's hunger , appeased it from their o w n j luncheon box . A f t e r the tired feet h a r e i tramped about all doy and carried the ! chi ld across t o w n to the top story of the | east s ide t enement at n ight , her work Is ' o n l y half done. S h e sweeps , c leans, | cooks and w a s h e s anil Irons, o f t en work- j I n g r a t l l near ly m i d n i g h t to m a k e the humble h o m e comfortable for her parents a n d tbe l i tt le ones .

" H o w d o you m a n a g e to do s o m u c h work, l i tt le one?" she was asked. And s h o answered very s i m p l y ;

" I love them." Sho w e n t on hurriedly, as i f to divert at tent ion: "I c a n wash and Iron pret ty w e l l for a l i t t leg ir l . See I did this apron." It w a s spotless and had a fine "gloss" on It.

" H o w o ld are you?" "I'm g o i n g on 15"—with a shy . startled

g l a n c e around. " Y o u don't m e a n lo say you are I t -

s u c h a iiiite!" " T h e cashes all h a v e to say they're 14

to get engaged ," put in a sa l e swoman w h o listened to the converwUon. The oame y o u n g w o m a n told h o w she had goDe to see l i tt le Mamie at her home one Sunday , and found only bread and water in tbo house, but the small place shone with neatness , hav ing lieen swept and •crubbed by t l ie smal l , rougliened Itands of the l i tt le cash girl. Hiihi'rto a rela-t ive . l i v ing at service , has helped pay the rent of their rooms, but n o w she is un-able l o g i v e iheni any more u^is tance , and so Mamie and a y o u n g e r brother, w h o 1ms j n s l s e c u n d u place as cash laiy, are the on ly support of tbe fami ly .

H i e truth of thi* pit i ful story was es-tablished by a visit to theehi ld 's mother. Mrs. Corrlgnn raid; "It breaks m y heart to have m y little il .iugbter drudge so. but w h a t e lse can we do? My husband would rather starve than ask for so much as a crust of bread in chari ty . And y e t the l i tt le om-s (Ihe younges t is 4) must be fed. I hojie to get oh m y feet so that Mamie need not work a f t e r the long day in tbe sbo|i . Of ten n o w it is midn ight before she can get to lied, and then she lias to get up very early. I bail to keep her at h o m e t w o d a y s o n c e when I was loo ill t o be a lone nnd m y husliand was helpless, and she was docked thirty-f ive cent* for e a c h day, and seventy cents is a good deal to mis* out of ^J."—New York World.
