his wife-it possible, would inc muir
derer find him.
The man in the corner of the car
laughed aloud. One OF two passengers
neal turned and looked at him, but
quickly withdrew their eyes. There
was no contagious mirth in that laugh,
and the smile on the cruel face was the
smile Of a iend.
That night he crawled into a ~slovenly
bed in a cheap lodging house on the east
side. He missed the lonely cell to which
he had become accustomed, and found
himself wondering if they would give
him his old quarters when he went back.
Next day he prowled about the muddy
streetsseeking work. 1t was Christmas
week, and everybody was too busy to
listen to him. He ate sparingly and
boarded his little roll of bills, counting
them over and over. A strange attrac-
ton lured him to the neighborhood Of
the bank where he used to work. At
the. close of the somber day he stood
and watched the well dressed, well
groomed men emerge from the build
ing. ''That is the way l used to look"
he said to himself, and then glanced
down at his plain clothes and coarse
shoes.
AT night the Bowery glittered with
rows of lights that twinkled like evil
eyes. Johnson tramped for many
blocks, pausing now and then to gaze in
the windows at the Christmas decora-
tons. There was n display which
fascinated him. In a cutters window
were stars, crosses and other emblems
formed of smooth, shining, sharp edged
knives. johnson looked steadily at
them for a long time. Then he wentin,
and selecting n particularly wicked
blade paid for it from the little roll of
bills, thrust it in the breast pocket of
his coat and resumed his tramp.
"Christmas, Christmas" he muttered
as he plodded on. "What is Christmas
to me? I'd like to give John Raymond
a Christmas present, curse him." and
then suddenly he thought what a fine
thing it would be to drive that knife
home in Raymond's heart and attach a
piece Of paper to the handle bearing the
inscription, "a Christmas present from
a loving friend"
'.Ill do it," he exclaimed. eyes, I'll do
it on the night before Christmas. What
a merry Christmas it will be for mer'
People brushed against him in the
throng. Children shrank at sight of his
scowling face. On, on he went, IN
mindful Of his surroundings.
