The woman told her that Tony's parents had once been well-to-do people; that the hard times had thrown the man out of work; and finding all efforts vain to secure employment enough to keep his family in any kind of comfort, he took to drinking out of sheer discouragement. The wife, probably at first to allay the gnawings of hunger, gradually joined him for he always drank at home, never in saloons until both had fallen to their present sad condition. "And she was as pretty and as nice a girl as... ever you could lay eyes on, miss, " said the friend, wiping awa}^ the tears with her apron. "An' he was good- lookin' too; you can see the children's purtier than common. But the drink's somethin' terrible when onct it lays hold of man or woman either. Seems as if it would never let go its hold. Heaven help them all!" 1 66 A BUSINESS VENTURE; OR, Finding out from the parents that they had no plans nor wishes in regard to the child's funeral, Kudora ascertained from the friend where the minister whose church they formerly attended lived, and she resolved to call upon him and acquaint him with the facts.
