was three days before Christmas.
IT Redney Burke separated his di
minutive frame from the seething
crowd of humanity that pressed
along the street and paused before a
plate glass window which above all
others attracted him. This was not
a department Btore or a candy store era
a bakeshop. Inside there were neither
toys nor Bleds nor good things to eat ,
but it held those things upon which
Iledney Burke had feasted his small
eyes for many days. And now he
looked , with his whole soul in his
glance he looked and looked and look
ed , lie sniffed the air and imagined
to himself that already he was enjoy
ing the good things within.
For it was a cigar store , a store of
the better class , full of pipes and tobac
co and cigarettes and chewing tobacco
and everything that ends in smoke.
In the front of the window immedi
ately under the olfactory nerves of Mr.
"WHAT wouii > v u LIKE TO HA.'E F-
CUltlSTilAS ? "
-.Redney Burke was a pipe not an ti
pensive one , but one of JuV * the mn' '
, ? > Bnd pattern that suited Mr. Burke. 1"
had religiously watched this pipe fn
day to day. afraid that seme other <
tomer would buy it. But there it si
remained.
' "Gee ! " exclaimed Mr. Redney Burk
to himself as he scratched his short re l
hair. "Gee , I wisht I had it ! "
And the uufortunate part of it all
was that he didn't have a cent He
searched every pocket and cranny of
his superannuated clothes , from his
feet , which rested on the ground , to his
Uat , which occupied an exalted posi
tion some three feet odd above the
ground , for that which he knew he did
not possess. The expected happened ,
for he found nothing.
"Gee ! " he exclaimed again. "If I had
Annuder suit , I'd hock this. I getter
have that pipe ; that's what ! "
Strolling along the street , at peace
with all the world , came a philanthro
pist. Redncy's critical eye , casting
about for ways and means , noted him
as he came.
"I fought he was a stiff , " he remark
ed confidentially to some friends a day
or two later , "but I was away off , I
was. "
The philanthropist , whose good na
ture , to give the devil his due , was
caused by a remarkably good dinner
which he had just enjoyed the phi
lanthropist bore down upon Mr. Red
ney Burke. The latter saw him com
ing.
ing."Now. "
"Now. what's his game , nnyways ?
thought Mr. Burke as he turned back
once more to gaze upon the pipe.
"Hello , small sir ! " remarked the
friend of mankind genially. "Merry
Christmas ! "
"Aw. " thought the small sir to him
self , "what ye givln1 us ? Why can't
ye leave me ilone ? "
But he didn't say it. He simply
looked up at the big man with a half
coy , half frightened glance , more par
ticularly to determine whether he
might not be the police department in
disguise.
"Merry Christmas ! " he returned , n
'bit wistfully as he thought he saw
# . possible opening of a pleasant na
ture ,
"Well , my boy. " continued the man.
"what are you gojntj to have for
Christmas , anyway ? "
"Christmas ! " returned Redney. with
a slight variation from the truth. "We
' ' Christmas.
don't never have nothin' for
W * don't. "
TJio nian pniiled a smile of pity.
"Pear we , " ho rei.uarked , half to him
self , "how ti'iio it is that oijo half of
the world knows not how tljo other
half Hves. " Then he raised his voice.
"What would you say , small fsir. If 1
chould buy you some of those toys"
Re stopped as he gazed into the win-
/ low"Why. . why , " he went on , "I
thought this w : p fl toy store that you
were looking into ! "
"JS'aw , " returned Rednoy. "If's ft fo-
tmcco ptore. "
"But but. " continued the man , "you
yon don't spiokp tobacco. You cer-
Mainly at your age canuot" -
lfl
I wasn't thinkln' alv : it mi\"olf
much. I was thinkiu' nJbout me c
father. lie broke his pipe last mon
an' he ain't had none since , an * IIO'H c
poor to git annuder one. I was look
at these. Gee ! If I could git enotij
of the stuff together , I wouldn't do
thing but buy that there one for hkr
me poor ole father. "
This was said with an air of t
greatest frankness , although Mr. K *
ney Burke had always considered It
father , as did many others , in the lig
of a genteel mj-th. Still he thougl
himself that if he had a father am !
he himself were worth a-few million
BO ho might he didn't commit binie , :
upon the subject , however , even in 1
thoughts he might blow his fa. her
a pipe some time. This coiwiu" .1
sentiment , he reasoned , justified his i
ply to the philanthropist.
"Well , well , " remarked the latii
glancing down at the disinterest' '
specimen before him , "but what wou
you like to have now for Christmas ? "
Iledney shook his head. "I ain't pt
ticlor about meself. If I cos''i r
there pipe an' , " he added as he set
ed possibilities heretofore unsuspcc. "
"an' a good bit of smokin' tobacco , a
one of them there rubber things to p
it in say , if I couid do that for the
man say ! An' wouldn't he feel stu <
on hisself ! But , gee , wot's de use ?
can't do it , so I might as well be g
in' . "
lie made this last remark because 1
knew intuitively that brevity , -natch
the soul of wit , is also the essential
charitable enterprises. Good inipul.- :
don't last forever , so he moved o
shaking his head as he went.
The big man looked up and down fl
street to see if he was observed. ii t
he stretched forth his hand and CUT. . '
Redney by the arm.
"Here , my boy , " he exclaimed gu. .
as he shoved a tive dollar bill into * ;

Redney Burke's reluctant grasp " ! )

then go aim get somothir.g for -
yourself , and and have at leu .

back upon. " Ills eyes glistened a
as he said it. and. to his cr d t be i ! s
he did not regret the impulse or th -
nation for a full two hours thereuf ; .
"T'anks. " said Mr. Bucke. with : ;
of a scrape1 and a stiff sort of U ,
'Tanks from me an' me old man ! "
The next day there was a qun'r
mation in an unfrequented coii
the play yard of the Four'PC in.
school. Tin- formation re.nil - - . .

ascended a olumn of bmoue. aiu.
ascunued if the skies there camp
voice from within.
"Gee , fellers ! " said the voice. <
but ain't tins great ? " It was the
of Mr. Redney Burke , the votary o.
Lady Nicotine , the center of an aw
ing crowd. lie smoked a pipe 1
of his heart and he tilled it fro
rubber case.
"Just fits in me pants poci T * ' .
served. And as he said it he pin ! u
a few dollar bills and exhibited then
"An' I got four more plunks 1 .
What d'ye fink ? " he said.
Later , in the class room , the t-K
lifted lur head high in the air \
sniffed.
"Some boy , " she remarked SPore ! . -
"has been smoking. I want to k.i.
who it is. "
She looked not around the room b
directly at Mr. Iledney Burke. He fat.
ly reeked with tobacco , and he knew i :
Under the circumstances , therefor
be side stepped with alacrity into ; .
lisle and looked squarely Into th
teacher's eyes.
"Me old wo me mother , " he explair
2d glibly "me mother had a smokli :

Then he. whipped out a small , IK-T

was proceeding southward in the hope
of obtaining help , .and about the 20th
of October we ensconced ourselves in
a little hut at Cape Sabine. Our sup
ply of food was running very low , and
we were on very short rations , every
one being allowed just food enough in
each twenty-four hours to sustain life.
Under these depressing circumstances
and amid the awful silence of the
polar night the cheerfulness that we
continued to maintain was remarkable.
It would have been a splendid oppor
tunity for Dickens' character. Mack
Tapley , who was always seeking some
specially depressing situation in life to
show how jolly he could be under ad
verse circumstances. As the Christmas
season approached we all looked for
ward to it with eager anticipation , no *
only as a festal day the association- '
and memories of which would to some
extent vary the wearisome monotony
of our lives , but because we know that
the winter solstice would fall abou *

we had our breakfast thin soup rnado
of poas. carrots , blubber and potatoes.
Our Christ mas dinner was served at 1
o'clo c. Hearken to our menu , ye who
will sit down the coming Chrlstm '
to roast turkey stuffed with oysters :
First course , a stew of seal meat , on
ions , blubber , potatoes and"br ° : -.l
crumbs ; sotond course , served one
hour after Orst. a stew of raisins , blu'i-
ber and milk ; dessert , a cup of hot
chocolate. The best and most Chri.it-
maslike feature of this meal was tlu't
we were allowed a sufllcleut quantity
of it to satisfy the pangs of hungrr.
Our enjoyment of the dessert , one cup
of chocolate , we tried to prolong * s
much as possible. Over it we told each
other Christinas stories. We exchang 'd
reminiscences of bygone CUfistftlttso
at Uome with the loved on s so far
away. We discussed the probability
of our ever reaching our own firesides
again , and we entered into an agree
ment that if we got back to civilization
before another Christmas we Vi'QUUl
pass the day together In memory of
that awful Christinas we were then
spending in the realm of the retention

fellows never lived to see another
