heels four inches high and tapered
down to the size of two-bit piece.
He wore a soft SLOUGH hat, an en-
brOidered flannel shirt, and had a red
silk sash tied around his waist. He
said he was broke" and looking for
a job.
Old Bob asked him if he could paint
a sign for the saloon. He asked what
kind of sign was wanted. Old Bob
told him he wanted a figure Of great
originality and one that would tell the
name without any printed matter. He
always put on airs in his speech when
he thought he knew more than the
other fellow did, and the dandy chap
was understanding, in spite Of his
clothes.
Well, the stranger took the job, and
when it was done and put up over the
door and old Bob came out to size 1t
up he was roaring mad. He swore he
wouldn't pay for it. The figure paint
ed on it was a big red goose. The
painter called all the town to prove
that he had painted according to order
b. asking each one separately what 1t
was. Every one of them said, Red
Goose" He then asked pointedly If
it was not of great originality" and
every one to man said 1t was the
first ged goose they had ever seen.
So old Bob had to pay for the sign
and set up the drinks besides. After
they had settled it Tao dandy chap sat
down to a game of poker in the saloon
which he had christened, and in the
morning of the next day walked out
of 1t and left with all the available
gold of the town in his pockets
1t was that night | spoke of-the
night before Christmas. The boys
kept a roaring fire in the fireplace and
tried to keep the cheer going, but 1t
was too plainly an effort-all except
at the card tables. The most improb-
able things always happen without
warning. In at the door of the Red
Goose, like a bird blown from the
night, came shivering, oldish-looking
man. His hair was long and a stub
bly, beard hid the under half of his
face He was lost, he said, and near
ly froze, and had the rheumatism and
wanted to warm at'the fire.
We all stood back and let him have
the fire to himself. He stretched his
long, slender fingers in the warmth
Of the large blaze, warmed his feet
at it and turned his back to warm.
His eyes wandered round the big,
ugly room and lit on the piano.
The man at the fire set his glance
so questioningly on the instrument
that Polaris volunteered to tell him
that it was ''pyanner," and asked
him II he could play on the 'critter."
He said he used to play little, and
