felt sorry for him, and fed him, and said
she knew that he was the victim of mis-
fortune, and there were tears in her
eyes as she gave him an old vest and
told him to return next day and get the
coat to match. He told her of losing
his family by steamboat explosion

children We're ever appearing to keep

thing he had on this cold world, and a
day or two subsequently he returned
for the coat. The painters had been at
work and had just finished the floor of
the veranda. AS there was no board up
the tramp walked up the steps and
marched the whole length of the freshly
painted floor, and raped at the door,
with his mouth puckered up into the
proper mournful expression. 1t was
opened by the woman, but she had no
smiles nor tears.
"Get of that paint, you good-for-
nothing!' she yelled. Get out o. here,
you villain!'
Madam, that coat you"
'I'll coat you! Look at your feet
look at that paint-look at the
damage"
He was still looking, holding up first
one foot and then the other, when the
handle of broom cracked across his
back and he felt obliged to slide.
"I came for that coat" he remarked
as he stood on the grass.
