Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sidney Yorke's Friend
IT was a cold, dismal Sunday afternoon in January; a. Piercing wind and constant showers Of sleet made the shelter of home and a warm fire a very attractive prospect to those who were struggling along the wet pavements and muddy roads. The congregation of a large church on the outskirts of the manufactur ing town of Beecham was just dispersing, everyone bent on getting home as quickly as possible. They were all so occupied with their own discomfort that none of them had a thought to bestow on one who plainly had no pleasant home or cheerful fire to go to. Perhaps it was scarcely surprising that the well dressed and highly-respectable congregation should pass by without a glance one who was so shabby, so miserable.
