Tho view from my window extended across the courtyard into tho interior of the apartments occupied by tho family of the littlo Gabriel, who was familiarly called "Little Giib" by all in tho house. The father was a cutter in a tailor's shop; the mother, a sickly woman, and already white haired, though but 45 years old, busied herself with the housekeeping, and used up in that tho remnant of her health. 01 her five children tho throe oldest had swarmed out from ths homo; ther remained only a girl of 18, who was a dressmaker, and Littlo Gab, who was a hunchback. Born of parents who had passed half of their lives in unwholesome workshops, or in dark and badly ventilated stores, Littlo Gab was tho victim of incur-ablo rickets. His twisted spine brought his shoulders nearly up to the level of his ears; bis slender and feeble legs bent under his warped and badly balanced chest; be could walk only when bis form was held up in a peculiar corset.
From this distorted body, which bulged out both front and back, aroso a head, too highly developed in form, but with a face of an exquisite delicacy and of a singularly piquant expression. Although ho was years old, one would have thought him hardly 5, judging from his poor stunted and twisted body; one would have called him 20 at sight ot his thoughtful face, his projecting brow and his great dark brown eyes, co sad and so precociously thoughtful. Father, mother and tho big sister worshiped him, because of his loving manner and his extraordinarily lively intelligence. The doctor had forbidden them to let him do any work, but to distract him and to change his surroundings they took him to a school, whero ho limited himself to listening gravely, yet retained all that he heard. One evening, after school hours, I noticed him under tba porch of the houso, seated against tho waiting room of tho janitor.
His Brother having gone out to make soma purchase, and his sister not having yet returned from her shop, he had found too door of their rooms closed on his return, and, leaning against the wall, his eyes turned eagerly towards the street, he was waiting with a thoughtful and painfully resigned looked. While I questioned him, his black eyes threw over me long, observing and frightened glances. In tho meantime tho big sister arrived, all out of breath. "Ahl my poor Gab," she cried, "I have kept you waitimjl You were growing impatient, humph "No," replied Gab in a calm voice, clearas a silver bell, "I was only sayine to myself that perhaps you did not want day more of me, and that you would not rerun. I am so sick and ao wearisome "Ah, you bad boy," murmured the young girl, as she covered him with kisses; then, turning towards me with her eyes full of tears, "he Is so delicate," she added, "and so intelligent; ho reasons out things just like a grown up person.
What a pity he has bo littlo strength! The doctor says that if be can go thi3 summer to Berck, tbe sea air and tho sand bnths would probably cure him. But Berck is far away, and then there is the ezpense. After all I am going to try to make enough to carry him there." And the trare young girl worked from morning until night to lay us the needed amount She woro herself out working over her sawing machine; she cut, laid together and 6owod with hardly a moment of rest WsS Into tho niht I beard the sharp and hurried movements of tbe machine, resembling the abrupt rustling that grasshoppers make in the beyond the curtains, illuminated by the lamp, I distinguished tho hard working girl in oatiins, ana I thought involuntarily cf Hood's terrible "Sons of the Salrtl" Everybody in tie house knew the story of Littlo Gab, sxid tba wvw of tba tenants willingly mtnistcd work ta the bi sister.

July dote at hand, erd they had already begun preparations tar the departure tbe jmrehace of a hradacmo taather trunk, tb rn.M 0 a suit far tLs child and little Gob, who was in a Ftate of wonderment, talked to his ot notbirgut nts jcaraty to tba sea bates, when, sx ta cvnth bosr, an tra-f crtczurtd accsieat to throw erj thing isto disorucr. The young wife ef tbe government ccrk on the fifth floor had ordered tba dreamafcer to newly trim her wedding gown to maka it ever In tbe latest fashion a gorm that had cost a great deal of money, and thzt she wahed to mcke serve icrihs litils dinj-niiartla oi th atmia Ladies Jersey-ribbed all wool vests, fine value for 175 cents, at 100 cents. winter. One evening Gob, playing wira tho inkstand, let it slip from his poor, thin fingers, and the ink unhappily trickled down over the satin of the skirt. Tfaey did not scold him alas I no; tbe sight of his face, overwhelmed with dismay, gave too much pain.
Tbe big sister uttered a cry of terror; silently, nervously, she sponged the stuff and measured the extent of the disaster. The ink had outrageously stained over eight yards of the satin. To tfcU tbe accident to the customer on the fifth floor and to excite her pity in favor of Little Gab was not to be thought of for a moment; in the first place, the government clerk's wife was not rich, and her wedding dress constituted her only supply for her daya of frivolity and of ceremony; then tbe dressmaker was proud and did not care to acquaint the house with tho calamities of her family. The most advisable and dignified way was to run to the Bon March and try to match the stuff. Eight yards at fifteen francs came to 120 francs a formidable breach in the money box and tbe savings for tho journey! Well, it was done now, and the sea baths must be given up for this year.
The dressmaker kissed Little Gab and again set herself to work. In the winter that followed they straggled hard in Little Gab's household. The autumn had been rainy and Gab's health had felt tbe effect of it. His bones ached, ho had feverish disturbances and headaches. The doctor, sounding the boy's lungs, shook his head and insisted again on their sending the child to Berck immediately on the return of the pleasant weather.
This time it was settled that he should go; cost what it might, they would set out for the sea baths about the last of May; and the sewing machine began again in still greater hurry Its grasshopper rattle, and the evenings of work were extended still farther into the night. They bought for Little Gab a book in which there were pictures only of7 the sea views of harbors with their forests of masts set along the piers, steep crags washed by foamy waves, fishing boats, scattered apart, in the offing, like a flock of white winged birds. Tho child talked of nothing but the sea; be saw it in his dreams, and sometimes even in full daylight, through tho gray fog which filled the inside yard, he had unhealthy delusions of shores beaten by the waves, and great watery spaces, crossed by ships with distended sails. Sometimes he took from the mantelpiece a large shell; he placed it against his ear, and with his neck sunk into his shoulders, and with thonfrhff.ii MrtoTiBi tnr hnnrc to this roar of tbe sea. which seemed to come from far, far away through, the shell.
The winter wos exceptionally damp and cold, and I did not again encounter Little Gab under tho porch. The doctor bad expressly forbidden thorn to let him go out From time to time I saw him at tho window, one of tko curtains of which was raised. His oyes, sod and downcast, 6tared into vacancy, and on the clear window glass his thin fingers traced vogue form of ships. Then suddenly his glance would be fixed on tho casement where I was making my observations, and, feeling that he was watched, with a timid gesture he would draw down tho muslin curtain. Towards tho middle of March I no logger saw him near the window pane.
His bones mode him suffer more and more, his too eoblo lags could no longer carry him, and his headaches were redoubled. He now passed whole days lying on his little bed, turning over for the hundredth time the leaves of tbe piotare book where were seen the sea and the big ships with their white sails. He had not siren op the idea ot his journey. "When will we gor he asked of his sister; and when the latter had explained to him that thoy must wait for fine weather, ho replied in his sharp, thin Tmce, "It is because I am in a hurryI was to get well quickly, very quickly, so as not to see you cry any more." And he began to repeat to himself the cansejB of the towns tnroagh Which they woold paag. He alMafy knew tbeco by heart Chantiily, than Qavmont, Amiens, Abbeville and Kt' last the sea.
"Onco that we are yonder, said he, "I am sure that my bones will not pain me any more." WblLs waitlag he wfefeed to have ths big pink feett from the mantotpsoco by him, and, his oar placed against its pearly valves, be listened attentively to the distant noise of this sea that saould deMvw aim sretn all bis sufferings. Towards Castor I heard no longer the dull rumbling of the sewing machine. Thar was no more workhjg in Ike little home, and yet a light from a lamp gilding one of the windows well into the nijit, aYrwed that tfcey were always watching Dearth bed of tho sick child. "He is much worse," mm mured tbe garter's wife, creasing in stinctively skirts a chubby Bttio boy; "be has not long to live. The poer soul -it will bo a release!"

214 N. MAIN WICHITA, KAX. ISO-lino THE SHEATH OF CUSTOM. HAVE WE REACHED THE VERY BEST METHODS OF LIVING Oar ProneneM to Honor Customs and Practifces Simply Because Everybody Else Docs Bow much Is Reasonable and TIow Much la Merely Arbitrary? Every human being grows up insido a sheath of custom, whjen enfolds it as tho swathing clothes enfold tho infant. The sacred customs of one's own early homo, how fixed aud immutable they appear to tho child I It surely thinks that all tho world iu all times has proceeded on tho eame lines which bound its tiny lifo.
It regards a breach of these rules (somo of them, at least) as a wild step in tho dark, leading to unknown dangers. Tho elders have always said (and, indeed, it seems only reasonable) that by this tlmo of day everything has boon so thoroughly worked over that the best methods of ordering our life food, dress, domestic practices, Bocial habits have long ago been deter- I mined. If so, why theso divergences in the simplest and most obvious matterb? And then ono thing after another gives way. Tho sacrod, world wide customs in which wo are bred turn out to be only tho practices of a small or narrow casto or class; or they prove to bo confined to a very limited locality, and must bo left behind when wo sot out on our travels; or they belong to tho tenets of a feeble sect; or they axe just the products of one age ba history and no other. Aro there really no natural boundaries? Has not our lifo anywhere been founded on reason and necessity, but only on arbitrary customs! What is more important than food, yet in what human matter are there moro arbitrary divergences of prao-tico? The Scotch Highlander flourishes an oatmeal, which the English Sheffield Iron worker would rather starve than eat; the fat snail which the Soman country fi-entleman once so prized now crawls un molested in English or American gardens; rabbits are tabooed in Germany; frogs are unspeakable in England; sauerkraut is dotestcd in France; many races and gang of peoplo are quite certain they would die If 4cpriTod of meat; others think spirits of some kind a necessity, while to others again both these things are an abomination.
ABTD Vir, wirr wort Every district has its local practices In food, and tbe peasants look with the greatest suspicion on any new dish, and can rarely bo Induced to adopt It. Though it baa been abundantly proved that many of the fungi aro oxcsUent eating, such Is the force of custom that tbe zansbroora alone is ever publicly recognized, wbilo curiously enoagh it Is said that in some other countries where the claims of other agarics are allowed the mushroom itself is net need. Finally, I feel mywlf (and the gentle reader probably feels the eame) that would rather die than snbeist on Insects, such is the deep aeated disgust we experience toward this class of food. Yet it is aotorious that many raoes of respectable people adopt a diet of this sort, and only lately a book been published giving a detail of excellent pre-ren-der of the kind we habitually overlook nasty morsols of caterpillars and beetles, and so forth. And, indeed, wba one corses to thhik of it, what can It be but prejudice which causes one to eat tho periwinkle and re jcot tho land snail, or to pesce tbe livery crawn and proscribe tbe cheerful grass-ooppert Why do we on chairs Instead of on tne oor, as the Japanese do.
