What do you want?" he asked in 4
voice as dissgreeable as the sound Of
filing saw.
Ike took OF his hat and his bare
head began to bob conciliatingly up
and down like the bobber OF fish
line when the fish nibbles at the hook
below. Il has come to see yu'. Mistah
Skimpum. TO the reason that am
most pow'ful hungry an because there
is no meat in we-uns cabin. And be-
cause this is the evenin' OF the most

mands being made upon II. So he de-
cided to make little special effort Of
his own. He knew well enough that
1t would be waste of time to ask
the miser to give him a goose or COB
bier. but he had faint hope that be-
cause of the season OF the year the
old slSinflint might perhaps soften
enough to give him credit on his we'll
known honesty. So he set forth in the
gathering dusk and sitting snow upon
his mission and In little time was
tapping at the miser's back door.
For several minutes he tapped away
and scuffled his feet and at last the
miser came forth--not as man
comes forth, but in the manner you
would expect to see miser appear,
first a nose and then a foot and then
hand and finally the rest OF him, as
II he grudged even his presence, and
stood frowning at Ike through the
gloom. Ike's clothes were ragged and
tapping In the wind and his toes were
leaking from the end Of his shoes, but
the smile on his face was cheerful and
would have made friend OF any one
except a miser who loved no man or
woman or CHILD or beast, and whose
soul was shrlveled and warped, and
whose conscience was as tough as the
hoof OF horse.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1908-12-25

a turkey he would send you one with
out your begging for It, So go away"
Ike took step backward with quiet
dignity. "All right, sub, reckons yu'
Is correct. Thank yn'. subj" he said.
and then went plodding homeward
empty Of hands and as hollow inside
as an old bee tree, the wind nipping
at his bare toes and bowling after him
like a wolf, and as matter Of fact
the wolf of hunger was very close to
him indeed. But Sally did not despair
when she heard his story.
THAT offerin' Is shore a-comin',
Ike" she asserted, as she put another
stick on the IRE to keep the water In
readiness. II don't know Jest how
we-alls 10 a-goin' to get It. but feels
II a-comin' in the air. And jest yu'
mark what I tell yu'."
Then they sat down together by the
bare table and listened to the wind.
And. my. how 1t began to howl! Away
OF In the northwest q great storm
had been brewing that day and now 1t
was approaching them like q giant in
= rage. And as 1t passed along It came
to the home OF the miser and with q
growl fell upon It. 1t gripped the
house and shook It as terrier does
q rat, roaring down the chimney and
whistling under the door until the
shingles few from the roof like feath-
ers and the bones of the cringing
miser ratified together In his fear.
Then 1t pounced upon the fowlhouse.
and cuffing OF the roof blew with all
its breath within, and In Q second the
night air was filed with flying fowls
that tapped and sQuawked as they
went sailing into the distance like
pun balls scattered by blast.
Over In their little cabin Ike and
Sally heard the uproar and fell upon
their knees in prayer. Frightened
though he was Ike did not forget his
hunger.
:. "They say It Is an III wind that
don't blow anybody good. dear Lord"
he began. And ! prays that out OF
this heah mighty gale will fall few
grain from yu' bounteous store" And
scarcely was the prayer finished than
there came a fearful gust and the
crash OF heavy body against the
door. And the latch broke and the
door few wide and upon the floor
there fell with a thud ten.pound
gobbler, wind-blown and rufiied to be
sure, but fat tender and soul-satisfy.
ing-the very bird. in fact, that the
miser had fattened for his own sharp
teeth.
Sally arose and held the big bird
high In her hands. Faith, charity and
happiness illuminated her lean face
until it shone as from a light within

N D.
hens cackled derisively at the very
sight Of him. He never paid anybody
more than half of what they were en-
titled to. and even the mosquitoes
avoided him in disgust as having a
hide like an automobile tire and with
no more sustenance beneath It. No
man, woman, child or beast was ever
fed by him without rendering services
in advance for more than the food was
worth, and his neighbors were afraid
to shake hands with him for fear that
he would steal their finger-nails. He
skinned his milk twice. made his
decayed apples into cider, and when
his horses got SO old they could not
work for him any longer he killed
them and made them into glue, and
then used the glue to stick another
mortgage on some neighbor's house.
OF course everybody hated him worse
than they did the fever and ague, but
he did not mind that much because in
one way or another he kept getting
money and that was revenge enough
for him.
Now, half q mile away from this
mans house was the little cabin OF
old Ike Clay and his old wife Sally.
Ike was SO poor that even the mice
could not AFFORD to board with him,
much as they liked him, and his pow
erty was generally due to the fact that
as soon as he got anything he
wonld give II away to the first one
who asked him for II, for Ike and
Sally lived In the belief that It Is
more blessed to give than to receive.
Also they were very humble and re-
llgious and devoutly believed in every
day miracles and that the Lord would
feed his children even as he did his
sparrows and fishes. And up to this
time It had always turned out that
way, but now the day before Christ
mas had arrived and the cupboard was
az empty az Ike's pockets. and Ike's
pockets had nothing in them at all
but holes. But his wife's faith was
unwavering and she filled the pot
with water and put It on the stove
that It might be hot and ready for the
Offering when II came.
where our Christmas offerin' IL
a-goin' ter come from shore don't
know. but the Lord works in mysterious
ways his wonders to perform. and I
don't reckon he is a-goin' to forget
We uns," she said. confidently. But
~ the day slipped by and no special
Providence befell them Ike began to
become q tribe nervous-not that he
doubted Providence in the least, but
because he feared 1t might need q
gentle reminder at this season Of the
year when there were so many do.

Good Cause for oIadness.

"Alas!" sighed the moody man,
"there is no gladness for me in this
joyous season."
