CHAPTER XXI.
The Little Man of Windsor.

There was nothing very awe inspir-
ing in the sight of the plain, homely
looking little Dutchman walking under
the trees at Windsor; nor was there
anything more impressive in the figure
of the dumpy little woman who walked
by his side, but for all that Ellen got
down on her knees in the pathway as
the two figures approached her, Lady
Carrington's example was followed pre-
cipitately by Sir Charles and Mistress
Deborah Slocum.
"Hey!" cried the little man blink
ing and peering at the three kneeling
figures, whom have we here?" His
eye ranged from Ellen to Deborah and
comprehended the baronet kneeling in
the background. His dull face lighted
with glance Of recognition. He knew
the army list by heart and most of the
officers appearing thereon, especially
those of any degree of rank or sta
ton.
Sir Charles Seton, is it not?" went
on the plain little man, ''and you are
a captain in the Sussex light infantry
Rise, Sir Charles" he continued,
gravely, ''and you may present me to
these ladies, your companions
Sir Charles, glad enough to be re-
leased from his uncomfortable posi-
ton, rose to his feet and stood at at
tention with military salute. Then
bowling profoundly, he said:
Your majesty, the little man
was no less person than King George
the Third-"this is the Countess of
Darlington, and this is Mistress Deb

"Of the state of Massachusetts, your
majesty" said Deborah, with great
spirit

continued Seton, hastily hoping to
prevent an outbreak of wrath in his
matesty's mind at Deborah's contu,
macy.

word-"must now take the brave Of

He extended his hand to Ellen, who
was nearest to him.
Poor Ellen, who had come upon a
desperate errand, to beg a great gift
from the king made no scruple about
kissing the monarch's fat and pudgy
hand ere she rose to her feet In obe-
dience to the kings indication.

One of the contractors in Panama
was very much annoyed by tr>s exceed

them ashamed of their Incidence, so
one day when they were all lined up
he said: I've got nice, easy job
for the LATEST man in the company.
Will the LATEST man please step for

Fifty-nine of them stepped forward
but one remained behind.
Why didn't you come forward with

The gambler stood still and shifted
the air as if at that moment, for The
first time, he had caught the infection
of the Christmas atmosphere.

he said Here, take this and go blow

greenback from his pocket, pressed it
into the boys hand and continued on
his way.

The gambler made no reply, but
walked on all the faster. He had gone
block further and evidently thought
himself rid of the boy, when the latter
suddenly piped out again:
please take yer money back, will

"Aw, beat it," said the gambler,
savagely.
Patsey stopped. He watched the
form of his big man fade into the
darkness and then looked at the crur,-
pied greenback in his hands.
Gee, wouldn't dat mostly crimp

the canyon of electric lights and head
ed for place where he knew
he would find cranberry sauce,
steamed dumplings and mince pie at
