The withdrawal of D. S. Hender-
son, of Aiken, from the contest for the
United States Senate makes the race
narrow down to only about two can

this race. For our part we are not

It is said that dancing makes girls
feet large. 1t is also said that ice
cream makes freckles. Doctors are
of the opinion that hanging on the

hens cacllcd dcrIsively at the very
sight OF him. He never paid anybody
more than half OF what they were en-
titled 10. and even the mosquitoes
avoided him in disgust MS having
hide like an automobile tire and with
70 more sustenancc beneath 1t. No
man, woman. child or beast was ever
gcd by him without rendering services
IN advance for more than the food was
worth and his nelghbors were afraid
to shake hands with him for fear that
he would steal their finger.nails. He
skinned his milk twice, made his
irCayed 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
anOrtrare on some neighbor's house.
or 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. hall 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 10 board with him,
much as they liked him. and his pow
erty was generally due TO the fact that
rs soon rs he got anything he
would give II away to the first one
who asked him for It, for Ike and
Sally lived in the belief that 1t is
more blessed TO give than TO receive.
Also they were very humble and re.
liglous and dcvoutly believed In every
day miracles and that the Lord would
feed his children even as he did his
srarrows and fishes. And up to this
lime It had always turned out that
way. but now the day before Christ
mas had arrived and the cupboard was
as empty as Ike's pockets. and lke'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 1t on the stove
offering when 1t came.
Where our Christmas offerin Is

as the day slipped by and no special
Providence befell them Ike began to
become a trihe nervous-not that he
doubted Providence in the least but
because he feared It might need

year when there were so many de

rause of the season OF the year the
old skintlint 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
iar ping at the miser's back door.
For several minutes he tapped away
and scuffled Ms feet and at last the
miser came forth-not as man
comes forth. but in the manner you
would expect to see a miser appear,
first a nose and then a foot and thep
hand and finally the rest OF him, as
If he grudged even his presence, and
stood frowning at Ike through the
gloom. Ikes 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 miser who loved no map or
woman or child or beast, and whose
sUulI was shriveled and warped, and
whose conscience was as tough as the
hoof OF a horse.

Ike took a step backward with quiet
dignity. AN right, sub. | reckons yu'
is correct. Thank yu'. sub" he said.
and then went plodGinG homewaro
empty OF hands and as hollow inside
as an old bee tree. the wind nipping
at his bare toes and bowling after him
like wolf, and as a 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 fire to keep the water In
readiness. II don't know Jest how
we.alls is a.goin' to get it. but feels
II a-comin' in the air. And jest yu'
mark what | tell yu'.'
Then they sat down together by the
bare table and listened to the wind
And, my, how 1t began to howl, Away
OFF In the northwest n great storm
had been brewing that day and now It
was approaching them like n giant in
rage. And as 1t passed along 1t came
to the home of the miser and with a
growl fell upon 1t. 1t gripped the
house and shook 1t as terrier does
rat, roaring down the chimney and
whistling under the door until the
shingles flew 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 cutting off the roof blew with all
its breath within. and in n second the
night air was filled with flying fowls
that tapped and squawked as they
went sailing into the distance like
puff 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 i'll 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 fearful gust and the
crash OF a heavy body against the
door. And the latch broke and the
door flew wide and upon the foo,
there fell with a thud ten-pound
sobbler, windblown and ruffled to be
sure, but fat, tender and soul-satisfy
ing-the very bird In fact, that the
miser had fattened for his own shary

Sally arose and held the big birt
high in her hands. Faith. charity ant

until it shone as from light within
