"Isn't it funny? whispered the still,
small voice, as Geoff worked the slide for
all he was worth, and the sausages flick
cred like cycle spokes.
And, behold, it was funny. Curmudgeon
was petrifed to find himself laughing.
What had come to him? Was he little
boy with a frill round his neck, and was
the voice in his ears Nesta's, and were
they sitting with papa and mamma at
Sadler's Wells?
No. That was half a century ago. He
had stood at Baby Nesta's grave with her
children. And he, Curmudgeon, was not
a little boy with Il rosy face and an appe
tite for bread and milk any longer, but a
lonely old man whose collars were derided
by an irreverent generation. Amid the
laughter one sigh was breathed.
Another picture. The whisper went
round the room: DARBY and JOAN" The
two withered faces close together drew
another laugh from the darkened room,
and another sigh from the old man.
A cheek was pressed against his, as in
the picture, and Maidie whispered, with a
gurgle at the quaint conceit:
yves Darby and Joan, Mr.. Tulmudg
con. L love oo-oo pretty man"
Curmudgeon gasped. 1t was a long time
since anyone had felt moved to remark
that they loved him. The dark room
turned to a sunny old garden. In the shade
of the trees hung swing, in which two
children nestled, a fair.haired little boy
and baby belle with dark eyes and clus-
tering curls. Curmudgeon knew the little
boy; but the little girl-ah, Winnie. She
came from the garden next door, and they
were sweethearts. Where was Winnie
now? Was she keeping Christmas with
grandchildren climbing on her knee, or

Curmudgcon was already kicking up his

slide before his very gate. Curmudgeon's
feet fliclered in the starlight on level
with Felix's shoulder, and but for Felix's
support he would glccfully have flung him
self ON his back in the snow.
"A slide" said Felix. "Hooray! Come
ON, Curmudgeon!"
He took a short run and a long slide,
and knocked a terraceful of postman's
knocks. He was so pleased at this per-
Torrance that he gave himself an enthusi-
astic encore, and slid till he had made a
20foot death trap.
Curmudgeon stood shivering and uncn

During the past two years some OF the
educational institutions of this state
have suffered for lack of funds. The
State University was threatened with
suspension, and would have been closed
but for the fact that public.spirited citi-
zeus advanced the $4,000 needed for it's
support. In the future there should be
no cause for such private Offering to sus-

miners willbe compelled to suffer many

not sufficient Shall the law compel n
