SEEING CHICAGO 



123 



An old lady who has not disembarked demands 

 a glass of water, and calls to some boys near at 

 hand, offering a dime to the one that brings it. 

 Our tiny Italian starts, but it is a demand and an 

 offer outside the range of his experience. And 

 he who hesitates is lost. There is a race into 



the German building and immediately one long- 

 legged lad has emerged with a glass and filled 

 it at a fountain near by. By the time the next 

 urchin issues from the building the old lady has 

 the refreshing draught, and as she fumbles for 

 her purse the lad runs off laughing, and is out of 

 sight before she can even thank him.
