Why, he was a boy, replied Forester, whowas walking along the street one day, and he sawa poor girl going before him, with a heavy bundleof firewood on her shoulders, and he cut the stringand let all down upon the pavement. Marco was thunderstruck at this unexpectedconclusion of the conversation. He looked upinto Foresters face, with an expression of mingled 84 MARCO PAUL IN NEW YOSIf. astonishment and guilt.

Now, said Forester to the boy, you Ve lostyour cap. 8 86 MAECO PAXIL IN N
