He stood in the doorway, carelessly
toying with his finger. The hsrkeeper
kindly invited him in. These acre the
first kind words that had greeted his
ear since the panic. He was a tough
looking specimen TO look at. His toes
were sticking through his shoes, the
nails glittering like 50 many pieces of
sea,shells. His elbows. sticking out
with regular circling wrinkles. denoted
that fifty-four years had waned since
his cradle days. His rimless hat sat
saucily on his Uranium, wreath Of
green encircling the band. as if in
mockery OF the sepulcher below.
A careless observer would call this
vanity in the old tramp. but closer
observer would see that it was the hay
seeds Of past summer that had lodged
in his hat band. and had been warmed
to life by the heat Of his head.
Take seat, sir said the barkeeper.
Now, It was chilly morning, and
most persons would choose a position

himself into seat near the lunch-coun-
