Meg. Bring lights"
Question followed question until Ham
ilton had proven conciusively In his own
mind that the boy was really Ellen's
child. He looked at his cold purple
hands, at the old jacket and the hard
shoes. and for the first !me in years his
voice trembled as he said quietly;
II am glad
The boy looked at the handsome man
whom he now understood to be his I'M
Gle, and because there were tears in the
proud eyes. and because his face was
white and his hand trembled, the boy
got up from Ellen's chair where he
had been sitting and came over to
him and said in his fearless, boyish
frankness:
so am l."

with cries of "Oh. Uncle Hamilton!
And at the door sweet-faced woman
waits, and as he comes in he says

And Hamilton June Mellen says:

And as Jose filled his glass after his
cakes. he couldn't forget what Ellen
had said about its being so hard to
provide her children with bread.
The wine was left untasted, and so
were the cakes, and Hamilton June did
something he had not done before for
years; he got up from the table and
slipped on his coat and went out with
out having any fixed plan as to where
he was going.
He stood on the wide steps OF the club
for a moment as the wind swept around
the church corner opposite and cut his
cheeks as II passed; then he went down
and walked up the street.
outside a florists door a he passed a
small boy was guarding boxes OF holly
and mistletoe. The boy was jumping
up and down and slapping his arms
and putting out his checks to keep him
self warm.
He was very small boy, much too
small TO be at work on such a night,
and his thin Jacket was little proteo-
ton from the cold.
Hamilton June was attracted by the
brightness OF the mass OF holly, and he
paused and took up bunch. The small
boy kept an eye on him AZ he held II In
his hand, and then when he caught Ham
ilton's eye he said, with the calm au-
dacity of youth: IT'S pretty. isn't it?"
yes II is pretty" and then as the boy
continued his dancing about he added

GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

The victory of Dobbins in the Realiza-
ton Stakes on Saturday should teach
owners of thoroughbreds very i'm
portant lesson. 1t should press upon
them the fact that there Is nothing to
be gained by shooting horses about the
country on railroad trains. Thorough
breds are high strung, nervous and ex-

personal comforts without the trouble OF
planning for them.
The FIRST suggestion Of holiday time
was abroad as Hamilton June stepped
out Of his counting-room door. Sleigh
bells were juggling and the frosty air
spafkled under the bright street lights.
II he had looked UP he would have
seen that the stars were like young
Indian moons.
Warmly clad as he was the cold air
chilled him. and for a moment his mind
reverted to Ellen's letter received that
morning In which she had said:
IT hardly know how to keep the chill
dren warm this Winter. Since their
fathers death I have taken in sewing.
bu, times are 80 hard now 1t Is almost
impossible to get the uecessaries OF life.
For the sake of our mother. Hamilton,
won't you help me to find something to
do?"
For Just a momen, he wondered il
things really were as bad as that, then
he met Armstrong and they walked up
TO their dinner together
As they met the tide of holiday gift
buyers Armstrong said: What are you
going to do for Christmas this year,
Hamilton? Going TO fill somebody's
stocking? oh. forgot you haven't
any relatives here"
Armstrong had known Ellen In her
school days. and was not afraid to speak
OF her to Hamilton.
Where is Ellen now, June? She and
I used to be great chums. l suppose
she has forgotten all about US here"
The letter In June's pocket seemed to
press against him as he answered: II
have not heard from her In some time"

recognize, and nothing had been heard
from them in all these years. Once or
twice letters had come In her hand
writing, but the elder June had burned
them unread. Then he had died and
Hamilton was left his sole heir.
To be left the sole heir OF millionaire
means a great deal to some men. But
TO a man without chick nor child, nor
kith nor kin, a man who has let bust
ness absorb him all his life, who has
been touched by the fingers Of gain in
herited and acquired, 1t does not mean
SO much after all.
After a time all the servants were dis
missed but Meg. She had been Hamil-
TOMS and Eilen's nurse and later their
companion and adviser, almost second
mother to them. She remained In the
house. although most OF ne rooms were
closed. Hamilton lived mostly at the

hand, and look at it carefully. You
will see that these separate filaments
of which the vane Is composed, tech

distinct from each other and only at

base, have a curious tendency to cling
together. so as to form continuous
structure, and that it takes slight
but distinct amount of force to sepa-
rate them, and that after they have
been pulled or forced apart, If they
are brought in contact again by gen

direction, or by waving it briskly
through the air, they will join again

that this operation may be repeated
