INCURABLE. By I. ZAUGWILL. Cast off" among the dead, Tike the "slain that lio m the grave, whom thou rememberest no more, and they are cut off from thy hand. Thou hast laid me m the lowest pit, m dark places, m tho deeps. Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me ; thou hast made me an abomina- tion unto them. I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction. I have called daily upon thee, O Lord I I have spread forth my hands unto thee.— Eighty-eighth Psalm. There was a restless air about the refuge. In a few minutes the friends of the patients would be admitted. The in- curables would hear the latest gossip of the Ghetto, for the world was Btill very much with these abortive lives, avid of sensations, Jewish to the end. It was an unpretentious institution — two cor- ner houses knooked together— near the east lung of London, supported mainly by the poor at a penny a week, and soaroely recognized by the rich, so that paraplegia and vertigo and raohitis and a dozen other hopeless diseases knocked hopelessly at its narrow portals. But it was a model institution all the same, and the patients lacked for nothing ex- cept freedom from pain. There was even a miniature synagogue for their spirit- ual needs, with the women's compart- ment religiously railed off from the men's, as if these grotesque ruins of sex might still distraot each other's devo- tions. Yet the rabbis knew human nature. The sprightly hydrocephalous paralytic, Leah, had had the chair she inhabited oarried down into the men's sitting room to beguile tho moments and was smiling fascinatingly upon the deaf blind man who had the Braille Bible at his finger's ends and read on as stolidly as St. Anthony. Mad Mo had strolled vaouously into the ladies' ward, and, indifferent to the pretty, white aproned Christian nurses, was loitering by the side of a weird, hatchet faced cripple, with a stiletto shaped nose supporting big spectacles, Like most of the pa- tients, she was up and dressed. Only a few of the white pallets ranged along the walls were occupied. "Leah says she'd be quite happy if she could walk like you, " said Mad Mo m complimentary tones. "She always says Milly walks so beautiful. She says you oan walk the whole length of the garden." Milly, huddled m her chair, smiled miserably. "You r re crying again, Rachel," pro- tested a dark eyed, bright faced dwarf m excellent English as she touched her friend's withered hand, "you are m the bines again. Why, that page is all blistered." "No; I feel so nice, "said the sad eyed Russian m her quaint, musioal ao- oent. "Yon s'all not t'ink I cry because I am not happy. When I read sad tings — like my life — den only I am happy." The dwarf gave a short laugh that made her pendent earrings oscillate. "I thought you were brooding over your love affairs," Bhe said. "Mcl" cried Rachel. "I lost too young my log to be m love. No; it is Psalm Ixxxviii that I brood over. 'I am afflicted and ready to die from youth up. ' Yes; I was only a girl when I had to go to Konigsberg to find a doctor to out off my leg. 'Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine ac- quaintance into darkness.' " Her face shone ecstatic "Hush," whispered the dwarf, with a warning nudge and a slight nod m tha direction of a neighboring water bed, on which a pale, rigid, middle aged wom- an lay with shut, sleepless eyes. "S'e cannot understand Englis, " said the Russian girl proudly. "Don't be so sure. Look how the nurses here have picked up Yiddish!" Rachel shook her head inoredulously. "Sarah is a Polis' woman," she said. "For years dey are m England, and dey learn noding. ' ' "Ich bin krank! krankl krank!" suddenly moaned a shriveled Polish grandmother, as if to corroborate the girl's contention. She was squatting monkeylike on her bed, every now and again murmuring her querulous burden of siokness and jabbering at the nurses to shut all the windows. Fresh air she objected to as vehemently, as if it were butter or some other heterodox dainty. Hard upon her crooning came blood ourdling screams from the room above, sounds that reminded the visitor he was not m a Barnuni show; that the mon- strosities were genuine. Pretty Sister Margaret — not yet indurated — thrilled with pity as before her inner vision rose the ashen, perspiring face of the palsied sufferer, who eat quivering all the long day m an easy chair, her swol- She pressed her lips to his hair. len, jellylike hands resting on cotton wool pads, an air pillow between hei knees, her whole frame racked at fre- quent intervals by fierce spasms of pain, her only divorsion faint, blurred refleo- tions of episodes of the street m the glass of a framed pioture, yet morbidly suspicious of slow poison m her drink and cursed with an incurable vitality. Meantime Sarah lay silent, bitter (To be continued).
