but because OF the prevailing hard
times his income had been re-
duced to $12. This sum. with
some little change comprised his
cash capital. AS he buttoned his coat
about his neck he reflected ruefully
that this was very small sum with
which to meet his expenses and to buy
Christmas presents. The wind blew
briskly down Park place as he walked
toward Broadway. thinking of the COM
ing rent day. the empty coal bin, and
the new dress he had promised his
wife. His thoughts were saddened as
he remembered that his little boy
would have been nearly five years old
had he lived until Christmas. There
was q sense Of construction In his
throat as he thought of last years

popcorn balls. Then against the walls
of memory stood out clear and distinct
the figure of his little boy standing in
his white nightgown in the gay dawn
Of Christmas day. with flushed cheeks
and eyes dancing with delight, looking
at the marvellous Christmas tree.
On Park row, near the corner Of
Chambers street, there was toy store

as came down the street, his mind in
tent on his own misery, his gaze fell
upon one of the most pathetic figures
he had ever seen. Before the window
of the toy store stood q little boy.
whose nose was flattened against the
pane. His body shivered with the cold,
but his soul was aflame with desire,
which was expressed in his hungry
eyes, Thomas estimated his age at
years. He wore an old coat, which had
evidently been made for boy twice
ais age. Pins usurped the place of
buttons on the garment. His feet were
thrust into pair of yellow CATERS, as
siduous wear affording excellent but
cruel ventilation. His trousers, held
up by pieces Of string, were frayed and

the fact that the boy had been handled

They followed this itinerary. Tommy
running ahead to point out the way.
They entered the alley between two
enormous brick tenements, through a
big iron gate, and after wearisome
climb up crooked stairways arrived at
the O'Dowd residence. Tommy went
into the room, and as Thomas fingered
on the threshold he heard strident
voice say:
so that's you, you little scut! Sure
you had the heart O. me ar bruk was

"But ye needn't be freckened about
that little blaggard. Faith. he'd find
his way from Harlem to the Batthery,
SO he would"
In such genial converse the time
passed, while Tommy and his mother
supped on mackerel and potatoes. And
when Tommy had been tucked away
for the night in his mothers bed under
the mantel, on which stood plaster
cast Of the Virgin. with hands out
spread in benediction, Thomas had a
whispered talk with Mrs. O'Dowd, in
terrupted at frequent intervals by such
exclamations as, "Oh. dear, may your
shadow never grow less!" May your
wife never attend your funeral" etc.
At o'clock Thomas was walking up
Roosevelt street with eager footsteps.
He stopped at grocery store and made
a purchase, then hurried up into Park
Row again. The toy store man was
putting up his shutters, but Thomas
prevailed on him to go inside, and at
10 o'clock he, was back in Middle allev
again. Tears of delight filed Mrs.
ODowd's eyes as she met him at the
entrance to the alley and led him up
the lat'rinthine staircase. There was

And SO, hand in hand. the strangely

minutes ticlted slowly away the sus-

listeners. Then the bed clothes were
thrown aside and the little fellow sat
upright. apparently paralyzed with
amazement. Upon n little table be-

So to escape the famine scourge we fed.

But on our vigorous wings we south

We stayed our flight in Georgis-Wey

Why Maceo deserves hero's name,
