MAUICU.IUUS lleltuoiit .Vv..Clilriik-o Llttlo tioys sold violets. Old Fink pinched his mouth in a thin line. Ills face looked drawn and bitter. Tho fairies were covered with snow flakes. and he was afraid the paint would come off the wings. Amelia trotted along with chapped grey Hps, saying nothing. Finally Fink could restrain his dis appointed wrath no longer. "You see!" he cried to the llttlo girl. "You see that my monsters aro no lies. Look at the face of the man over there; look at the face of the lady In the carriage; look at the child In furs and furbelows, look at the young girl simpering. . .selfish beasts all of them, with hard hearts. They don t care for us. What do they want with fairies." He railed away, and the more Amelia tried to calm him, the more violent ho became. Then be cause he had lost hope of the dinner, and lost faith in himself and because he was sorry for Amelia, and des- perato in general, he stood still on the corner of Forty-second street and Droadway, where tho crowd surged most thickly, and brushing the snow from the fairies, held the basket high, and cried aloud in sudden hoarse recklessness: "Who wants a fairy? Who'll buy a fairy. . .only twenty live cents. Who has time to buy a fairy?" AMELIA tugged timidly at his arm. A few peoplo stopped to stare. Emmanuel Fink squared his narrow shoulders, threw back his head and went on fearlessly, his voice rising above tho din: "Thero's twelve fairies here, ladles and gentlemen . .little, pretty and kind, guaran teed to teach you a lesson, if you find time to listen." His voice rose to a shriek. A fat, red-faced man in a fur coat, stopped short. His grisly mustache was frosted with snow. Ho looked keenly at Fink. Three young girls, pink and whlto as apple blossoms, stopped; a tired woman in black stopped; an iron faced young man, stopped. "If you'll only find time," shouted Fink. "Christmas isn't going to run away, if you stop a minute to buy a twenty-flvo cent fairy." This was his last appeal to humanity, beforo black suicidal discouragement would cloak and smother his spirit forever. "Look at them," ho cried and held a fairy high, between frozen thumb and forefinger. "Wings and all for twenty-flvo cents. They're cheap enough. And who am I to sell fairies? Nobody. . .I'm nobody. And who aro you to buy? Everybody. . . .! And who aro tho fairies? Here, ladles and gentlemen, is a familiar fairy, ono you havo doubtless often met . . .a pleasant fairy to havo about tho house and In your business, a fairy to introduco to your friends and neighbors who have never seen her . . .tho Fairy Truth." Ho took up another little creature. "We are among old acquaintances. Why buy fairies you already own, you will ask? Tho answer is simple and practical. That which you already own, grows old and battered about with constant use. Have two on hand. So If you already havo this fairy, buy another. She is in all your houses and hearts. You will not deny that. Your faces show how well you know her. She Is tho secret of your youth. No ugli ness with her around, no sour hearts und scolding voices. . .She Is the Fairy Kindness. Of course you recog nlzo her. Another?" He lifted a bit of fragile carving and waved It gently. "Who Is she? Need I name this one? She has many names. Everyone calls her something else, and Invents pet names. When you own her, alio has all the qualities of naturo, when someone else owns her she seems less beautiful. Take my advice. . .buy her quickly. . .tho Fairy Virtue! Ah, here Is the young est and oldest of all. . .younger than the pretty baby In your arms, Madam, older than wisdom, a fairy who needs care, I warn you. She Is tho play thing of children, often of men, tho cult of women, tho relic, the secret, the mystery of the happiness you all seek so desperately. . .the Fairy Love! . . . And now another . . .a fairy you cannot live without, a fairy you will buy at any price, and keep at any cost, a fairy who may or may not turn into any of the others at your will. . .tho Fairy Consclousness-of-Self. What a collection, ladles and gentlemen, and all for sale! The chance for which you have been wait ing." Ills voice sank to a whisper; his eyes challenged. "Choose before It is too late, and don't bicker or quarrel over my wares, for though I've given them different names, they're all the same; so no one's cheated." The fat, red-faced old man with the frosted mustache stepped forward, "Qlmmo two," he said, and flicked a dollar bill lu the basket. "I haven't a cent for change," ad mitted Old Fink, turning troubled, ex cited eyes to this first purchaser. "Don't matter," mumbled the old man. "It's worth the money." He grabbed two fairies and thrust them in his pocket. A shabby woman carrying a black valise, pushed timidly forward and laid twenty-flvo cents In tho basket. Fink handed her a fairy, with a low bow. An elderly woman Angered and Angered tho fairies discontentedly. She wore cotton gloves, and her nose was long and red and sharp. "This Isn't a bargain show," said Fink. She dropped a fairy, and bustled away furiously. A young man, good-natured look ing, with broad shoulders and a cheer ful clear-cut chin, stepped forward. "I'll take one," ho said; and added heartily, "You gave them tho right sort of stuff, Just what they needed." Fink smiled at him, as he patted Amelia and pocketed his fairy. Eight fairies left! Now there was a rush for tho basket. People elbowed one another to get nearer, people laughed and joked and stared kindly at Fink and Amelia. Someone began to auction off tho remaining fairies. "Fifty cents. . .a dollar. . .two dol lars." A warm wind of lovo and under standing melted tho snow, and held together tho llttlo group beneath the glare of electric lights. Silver Jingled merrily. Soon tho last fairy was sold. Then Emmanuel Fink turned his happy old face towards tho crowd of his friends. "Thank you," ho said. "After all tho world's not a bad place, once you get it to listen to you." He took Amelia by the hand. "Tho llttlo girl and I can fiavo our Christ mas dinner now," he conAdcd to the sympathetic circle. So off In tho gut tcrlng lights they walked, beneath tho frosty sky, In tho beautiful snow storm. "Aro you hungry?" asked Fink. "Yes," whispered Amelia, simply. "Well, well." mused Fink, "I'd never havo thought It possible." "You can make more fairies now,' cried Amelia, skipping along beside him. "I'll mako nothing but fairies," Fink solemnly assured her. "I guess It's what they want," and ho smiled again, as if on that wintry night, ho had been warmed through and through, enough to last him a long, long while. Homely Philosophy It doesn't take money to make fools of somo men; but it helps. Some folks spend enough grieving over split milk to buy a cow. We can forgivo any man his preju dices, provided they don't conflict with our own.
