 It had been necessary for him to give two places the slip during the last half-year. Out there in Tucson, when he first came back from the Alaskan gold-fields, man had thought to take advantage of his Lordsfip'R youth and cheat at game of cards. His Lordship had been in the right but 1t was well enough not to be mixed up in transactions with the law, even Arizona law, so he had leisurely set put to pay his first visit to the east. He chanced presently on Hot Springs, Arkansas, and there within the last few days a certain deputy-sheriff had been unwise enough to challenge one of His Lordship's statements. The depu- ty sheriff had not been badly hurt. but the ways of Arkansas are not the ways of Arizona and His Lordship found it best to leave Hot Springs secretly and in haste. Again he travelled eastward, and so happened to find himself in this little Kentucky town on Christi mas Eve
 Not that it was Christmas Eve to him-it was merely the twenty fourth of December. Again tonight the whole world burned it's Christmas candle but he was one of those who had never seen it's light What was Christmas Eve to him or he to Christmas Eve?
 He glanced about him with inter- est as he passed down the village street It was a long wide street with trees now bare on each sidewalk, form ing high lacey arched canopy over the road. The houses were for the most part old, old houses but were large and comfortable looking. It was the time of day when house keepers are replenishing fires and lighting lamps, and as he walked along killing time until 1t should be dark enough for him to turn back to the station, he got glimpses now and then of the homes within.

Indeed he had never before seen a stocking Fhung up on Christmas Eye for santa Claus to fill He had heard of such custom--he had heard too that kings and queens wore crowns, But kings and queens were not less familiar to him than little girls, who hung up their stockings on Christmas Eve.

FraY .sco streets, mining camps and ranches, gold fields and gambling hours, he knew well but not one house that he had ever called home. It was a word that somehow or other had been left out of his vocabulary. A free gay rowing life, sometimes with money, sometimes without, with no moral code except that of "An eye for an eye and tooth. for a tooth;" with no conscious need of anything excepted food. clothing, warmth, excite ment, adventure: with only today to live for, because for him there was neither yesterday nor tomorrow; with no obligation toward any living crea- ture, not even himself; with no ties except the loosely ties of ood-fellowship-His Lordship had passed through almost twenty years. A casual observer, seeing him, a slender, well-built, dark beardless youth. would have taken him for a mere boy,kbut many a man has passed away at three-score years and ten, who was not half so old as he.
 Suddenly the interior of one room flashed on His Lordships eye. It was the simplest home scene--a mother with her children around her by a blazing fire. The center of the gay group was boy or Ills l4orQSnip s own age---the oldest son at home from college for lis Christmas vacation.

He became aware that his clothes were soiled and shabby and that his coat was thin. With some- thing akin to resentment in his heart, he walked rapidly on.
 The darkening street was almost gay; people passing each other. called out Christmas greetings, with an accent unfamiliar to His Lordship; every body was in a hurry; everybody was merry; everybody carried parcels and parcels and parcels. It was the dear home going hour. Only his Lord ship sauntered along, empty-handed, without destination. alone.
 The next house which presented it. self to his notice was also near the sidewalk.
