"Here's granny's. Whoa! you're gong

by a pinch of his ear, which disturbed tue
tenor Of his mental quarrel. "Now, set

said RUDE. "Rere is q basket the little
girl found too heavy for her, so l car
ried it."
"Come in, sir; como in" invited granny.
Take 9 seat by the fire. Bring him a chair,
Bessie"
Rube entered the house, uncovered his
shock and placed the basket on the table:
then sat on a low stool by the stove and
spread his numbed hands before it. The
kettle began to sing and as the warmth of
the fire penetrated his chilled body it made
him so drowsy that he leaned against the

ny prepared breakfast. AS he slept he
dreamed, and, in his dreams he went back
to his childhood days before he ever tasted
intoxicants: back to the days when is an
gel mother used to warn him of the evil of
intemperance and tell him how it caused
bis fathers death. The tears rolled down
his cheeks as he slept. He traced the be-
ginning of his comradeship with Nobody
up through his past until the present, and
his tears were those of remorse for a mis-
spent life. Suddenly he was awakened by
the touch of a damp cloth to his face, and
IN opening his eyes he discovered Bessie
standing on tip-toe and trying to wash his
nose.

come off" she said. "Ive got your hands
washed clean and the most of your face,
and I'll kiss you for being good to me if l

lieve he's crying, granny" And as she
spoke poor Rube buried his face in his wet
hands and gave vent to sobs hat made his
whole frame culver with emotion. Then,
with q sudden shake Of his head and a
dash of his hands. he stood straight and
pressed his finger tips to his eyes as if to
shut out some disagreeable recollection.
Better sit down to breakfast now" said
granny, taking nc notice OF his peculiar
actions.
He washed and dried himself and ran a
comb through his bristles for the first time
in ten days, after which he sat at the table.
The breakfast was passed in COMPARE
tive silence on Rube's part; but. the old
lady asserted a woman's ~prerogative, her
tongue, and chatted of bygone days. when
she lived in affluence and plenty, before
the time when her husband and only son
drank themselves to death and drove the
rest of the family to the obscul poverty
that now surrounded item. She told h4w
Bessie's mother died of starvation in a
large city and left Bessie with no one but
her old granny TO care for her. Little did she
know the struggle that was going on be-
tween Rube and Nobody while she talked,
and she was completely astonished when
he stood up at his seat with a s~uddenness
that threatened entire demolition of the
repast, and exclaimed:
Granny. I've been a drunkard ever since
l arrived at the age of manhood. I am
dressed in rags; but I am not a bad man.
[ can earn enough to care for q small fam
lily, and l have not a relative whom / care
to know in the world. Let me be as a son
to you and I'll never drink again."
"And you'll be a papa to me and buy a
new nose?" questioned Bessie, later in the
day, after he had told the story OF his life
to granny and his proposition was &C.
cepted.
Yes, little one."
"Well. I'll kiss you now, then"
And she did.
That night, when Rube stood outside the
house alone in the starlight, he held an i'm
p~ressive conversation with Nobody.
Nobody, we've been fast comrades for
many years and seen a world of trouble to-
gether. We've cheered each other through
thick and thin; but we must part. We are
not safe companions for each other,

frosty air,
NOBODY, that's q poor place to hunt a
Christmas feast; but we'll try it. Perhaps
we may get a bite Of evergreen with a few
holly berries for dessert Cheer up and
Jog along smart. for it's very cold this
morning. and we must step quickly to keep
warm. It's q shame, Nobody, that your
tailor doesn't keep your coat in better re-
pair. Even your pockets are moth eaten.
How does he expect you will ever have
money to buy new clothes when he let's the
pockets of your old ones get SO full of holes
that they won't hold money? You had
better hand your gold to me and I'll be
your banker. I'll spend it for you before
you have a chance to lose it. You know
you can trust me, Nobody That's right"
he continued, as he shifted the two cents
to a different hole in his coat. "Now your
load is lighter, we will walk faster"
In this manner he held q conversation
with himself for half an hour, whistling
merrily between times, as he pursued his
way.
1T appears to me, Nobody, that our road
is getting no shorter very fast. But cheer
up, will reach there soon."
As he rounded an angle and turned into
the plank road which led to the village CEN
ter, he met q little maid whose face was

basket Oh the walk and sat down to rest
herself.
"A merry Christmasto you, my lass!" ex-
claimed RUDE with a polite bow.
The same to you, Sin" responded the
little girl, as she glanced in his face with
an expression that reflected the mixture of
intuitive faith and dread inspired by his sa-
lutte.
"And why do you breathe so short?"
questioned RUDE in a kind tone.
II wish I was a man." i~mpetuously ejao-
ulated the wee miss, AID she knocked her
tiny heels together as though out Of pa
tience because she was not o full grown
member of the other sex.
And why do you wish it?" he inquired,
much amused at her annoyance.
MY toes is cold, and it's too heavy" she
snapped.
Then she removed her mitten and dug
out the Show from the gaping tips OF a pair
OF shoes that were much loo large for her.

he said, as he perched her on his arm and
took the basket in his other hand.
1t was a curious sight. Red RUDE and the

a voice that trembled slightly.
For years he had stood the jeers and
jibes of the printing fraternity as they tested
about the red-danger- light over his whisky

a stole and cared nothing; but this sharp
tongued midgets words cut him to the
quick. and for the first time in his recollec-
ton he felt sensitive about the color of his
nose.

the child. abruptly; then, without waiting
for an answer, she asked: Did you buy
your hair where you got your nose? Does
the color come out when you wash EN-?
My dress was red once, before granny
washed it," and she held up a ell-patched
skirt whose original bright color had faded
beyond recognition.
"She's talking about your nose again,
Nobody" muttered Rube, in a mournful
tone.
"Why don't you talk to me, instead Of
nobody? I wish I had two cents"
What would you do with them?"
"Buy sick Willie a monkey that will
jump over q pole. See 'em in that WIN

fist 30 that its index finger pretruded
through a hole in her mitten. then pointed
in the display window Of the village toy
shop.
"t've got two cents of Nobody's some-

won't mind our spending them," he said,
as he placed her on her feet and produced
the two pennies he had. "Now run in

I'D kiss you. if wasn't for your red

Then she shook her little head emphatic

within the shop.

said: Billy, I knock under; I've made 4

IRISH POLI1ENESS.
BIZ 8. MOORE.

Would It make me less Irish to be more renned,
Or would l be more like the men OF my ma
ton,
To give more attention to heart than to mind
To nature 8 own teaching than cold cottlva-
toni
A man may be Irish, and yet more polite
Than those who sneer at hin through envy
or malice,
And the bulls which he makes be as sparkling
and bright
AS flashes Of wit from the court or the palace.
IT'S the polish that gives the bright shine to the
blade
But the temper is better by far b a the
polish;
And 50 with the stuff from which heroes are
made, .
Too much useless rubbing it's worth might de-
molish.
Then let me be Irish, warm. hearted and brave,
Not selishly mean, nor yet vainly elated;
Too just to be harsh, and too proud for a slave,
With a love for the land of my birth I'M
abated.
Much better by far Is a true loving heart,
Good-nature and warmth Of affection reveal
ing.
Than hollow refnements. the polish OF art,
100 often deception and malice concealins.
