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 snuggled confident
" 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
elasped round his neck walked into the
presence of kind old Mrs. BlOOmer It
was meager fare they had that night,
considered from the standard of high
ivers. 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 world-and after Mrs.
Bloomer had taken him in hand and

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 Dustin" 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 first floor boxes, not on any &C
count And when they had gone home
and to bed and Chip had snuggled
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.

that dinner was to Chip. There wasn't
any turkey, but there was the tenderest
and best stewed chicken that ever Mrs

simply delicious. Then there were
