poor old mother and a helpless invalid
sister in little Wisconsin town. The
load had been made infinitely heavier
by sad accident to his mother, which
had resulted in broken limb and
which had necessitated nurses and in
creased doctors bills and no end of ex-
pense during the fall, and Tommy had
been obliged to borrow money from a
private Shylock in the bank and pay
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. interest per month for
the same. He had had.to send home the big
end of his small salary, too, each month,
and, what between this and the bor-
rowed money he had run behind in his
board, and was in about as desperate
financial fix as hard working, honest
and faithful employee ever was. Only
the extreme kindness of the little old
lady with whom Tommy boarded in a
little old cottage on a little by-street on
the West side enabled him to keep his
head above water at all. But he was one
of those stout-hearted fellows of whom
the great world rarely hears, and
wouldn't let himself get sour or cross.
When at last he had Strengthened
everything up and had packed away
the bundles of bills. and the bags of
gold, and the paper rolls with the silver
dollars inside, and had run over in his
mind all the good he might do if only
small portion of all this money was his

agant admiration of Tommy! And when
dinner was over and Chip was happy as
he could be Tommy got out his har-
monica and played dead marches till
Chip was mighty nigh to bustin'," as
he himself expressed it.
In the evening Tommy took Chip to
the theater and sat up in the twenty
five cent gallery, and they had the best
time in the world, and wouldn't have
changed places with the swell people in
the frst-foor boxes, not on any ac-
count. And when they had gone home
and to bed and Chip had Struggled
down by his side, Tommy asked:
"What are you thinking about, Chip,
old man?"
A small, thin arm stole up over Tom
my's breast and Rugged his shoulder
warmly.
81 was jist offerin' bet to myself"
said Chip, sleepily, that you wasn't
nothin' less'n own brother to Sanity
Claus. Amt YEP"
But before Tommy could answer
happy little Chip was far afloat on
dreamland's delightful sea and was
living over again the pleasures of the
day, while in Tommy's heart there
crooned a soothing song more sweet
and comforting than any millionaire in
all the great big city could ever hope to
hear Kirk La Shelle, in Chicago Mail.

ia ice glistened with the tears that
touches of unexpected kindness always
Produce in sensitive natures, but the
voice made great effort to be as brave
and CHEEKY as ever when it replied be-
tween shivers:
81 call that-'way up in G, an
you're a pr-prince O. the blood-you
Iare!"
"Put it there" said Tommy, as he
stepped under gas lamp and held his
hand to the little great soul by his side.
The cool little hand Struggled confident
ly in his and the eyes looked back into
his own and the bond of intimacy and
warm friendship was complete.
Thereafter Tommy held Chips hand
as they tramped along west, and when
they reached the side street in which
he lived, Tommy lifted the thin little
figure in his arms and with Chips hands
clasped round his neck walked into the
presence of kind old Mrs. Bloomer. 1t
was meager fare they had that night,
considered from the standard of high
livers, but Tommy was used to it and it
was simply luxurious to Chip.
But the next day, after Tommy had
chummed with Chip all forenoon and
got friendly and learned all about him
which wasn't much, he hadn't a
friend in the woodland after Mrs.
Bloomer had taken him in hand and

fustered Tommy that he could do moth
ing for moment but stare at the big
brown eyes and grow red in the face.
Finally he said:
why. you see-ahem-it's-it's-"
And here the Waterman came along
and, seeing the ragged little owner OF
the face, hustled him out with some
scornful remarks about beggars. AS
the little fellow disappeared through
the door and down the outside steps
Tommy saw slight figure tattered and
shivering. And then the doors swung
shut and Tommy turned to his work,
with all of his own troubles crowded
out of mind and only sympathy for the
poor little waif occupying his thoughts
He forgot all about the load of obi
CATION that was on him and his hope
less struggles to extricate himself from
the quicksand of debt into which he had
foundered in his efforts to care for his

Tommy stopped short, SO did the boy.

Tommy stopped short, SO did the boy.
"Hello!" said Tommy, cheerily.
where did you come from?"
Been a-waitin' fer ye," piped the
small voice, with equal cheeriness.
Thought mebbe you might want a
errun' run som'ers."
whats your name?" asked Tommy,
in an admiring tone, his face beaming.
"Chip."
Anything else?"
Mop. Nothin' but Chip. Ye see,
I'm a hustlin' fer myself, an hain't

tie Teller like me don't Letch on very
easy, you know"
Tommy had started on and this last
speech had come from the small figure
as it trotted along. He looked down
and saw the big brown eyes looking up
at him. They were beautiful to look
into, and the voice was such a CHEEKY
little voice, without a trace of whine ia
it, that Tommy felt immensely ra-
freshed.
"And what made you pick me out9"
asked Tommy.
well, liked your looks, and
wy, you own the bank, don't you, an
all that money, an ever'thing?"
Tommy looked down again and
laughed. Chip looked up and laughed.

own, he took down his shabby overcoat
from its peg, shook himself into it, put
on his hat, and went out of the bank.
He noticed that the streets were full of
happy, hurrying throngs of people,
most of whom had some package or
bundle, but he wasn't envious, though
he wished for a moment that he might
have been able to send to his mother
and sister some of the many pretty
things he had seen through the shop
windows as he walked homeward each
evening.
He started west at brisk walk for
he couldn't afford to ride, and it was
crisply cold. He hadn't gone far when
he noticed small figure trotting along
by his side. He looked at it and
caught two big brown eyes glancing up
into his own.

back-number jacket and trousers which
her own boy had worn years and years
ago, before he ran off on a lake schoon-
er and got drowned-then it came din
ner time, and oh, dear! what a feast
that dinner was to Chip. There wasn't
any turkey, but there was the tenderest
and best stewed chicken that ever Mrs.
Bloomer had cooked, and the gravy was
simply delicious. Then there were
nice, warm biscuit to split in half and
smother with this gravy; and mashed
potatoes and homemade bread and but
ter: and to top off with there was the
thiclsest, and juicest, and sweetest ap-
pie pie that ever was baked. And Chip
had two glasses of real milk.
And how his big brown eyes sparkled
and his pale cheeks frightened! What
a merry little fellow he proved to be,

gether at the neck with strong cord; neat
little paper rolls of silver dollars piled
up in pyramid form, and heaps and
heaps of packages of bills counted and
done up in little paper bands! Some
of these packages were of one-dollar
bills and some of fives and some of tens;
others of twenties and fifties and one
hundreds. They were stacked up at
the back of the desk where Thomas
Tippy was at work in the bank, for he
was a teller of some sort, or under
teller, or something which entailed a
great deal of work and very little pay,
as positions of responsibility often do.
AS one looked through the little brass
barred window at ''Tommy," as every
body in the bank called him, he APP
peared to be veritable money king.
Wealth was all around. Besides being
all over the two standing desks be-
tween which he worked, it was slowed
away in drawers, have no doubt, and
piled up on the floor.
Tommy was hard at work. 1t was
the day before Christmas, and people
had been making deposits, and drawing
money, and getting drafts, and doing
all sorts of things which they
will insist on putting off till
the last minute. He was writ
ing in an effort to close up affairs for
the day, and his arm rested as he
wrote on a package of northumberland
lar bills when he glanced up and saw at
the little grating through which he had
to look at the public a pair of big,
greedy eyes set in a very small and very
wan face. The face itself barely
reached above the window-ledge, and
Tommy couldn't tell whether it be-
longed to a boy or a girl, it was so
pinched, and hungry, and dirty. The
eyes of the face were devouring the
money, as the eyes of the poor are prone
to do, and the owner of the face seemed
lost in contemplation of the gorgeous
sight.
Then the eyes saw that Tommy was
looking at them and shifted to meet his
own. Tommy noted that they were
singularly beautiful eyes of brown,
with long, curving lashes He must
have been looking into them with
very kindly gaze, for they seemed to
read in his look a friendliness that
made their owner bold.

of the eyes, cant go on an errun', er

The owner of the eyes evidently took
Tommy for the owner of all the wealth
around him, and of the whole institu-
ton as well, and had notion that if he
chose he could hand out bag of gold
coin or two or three of the thick slabs

There is an interesting little steamer in
the Larbor. She is brand new. and is
the first one of the kind ever built along
the Maine coast. She was towed in
Saturday night from East Booth bay,
where the hull was built by W.O. Ad-
ans. She is here to have her machinery
put in by Orr & Jennings She is IS 1-2
gross tonnage, and has very high bow
and gunwales. She sits up on the
water rs il she could cope with any
wave, as in fact was the intention of her
builders. She belongs to three Monhegan
fishermen, who had her built as seine
steamer for the purpose of catching
mackerel and herring Another steamer
was used Tor this purpose along toe east
ern coast, but this is the first to be built
especially to take the place of msckerel

fish barrels in her hold, which renders
her, iii this respect, about comparable to
