| want to carry you, OF course
he said.
Suppose we leave the crutcl
and the cane here, said the child
You might want to carry me back
And the woman, hidden behind
a window curtain, watched the
strangely assorted pair with ar
approving smile.
That night when the place was
quite still the man stood in the
doorway Of the old barn and
looked up at the sky. The moon
suddenly came from behind a
fluffy mass of cloud and cast a
food Of radiance over the garden.
The man drew a folded paper
from his pocket and spread it out
and stared at it. At the top of
the sheet in large type was the
word aREWARD." He glanced
at it, chuckled softly, and care
fully folding it again, replaced it
in his vest. Then he drew from
an inner pocket a shining revol-
yer. He saw that it was in per-
feet condition and slipped it into
his side coat pocket.
Good place to hide, he muttered
as he looked around. / can stay
here a couple of weeks, anyway.
They'll get me some time, but I'll
give EN- a lively hunt for it. He
laughed again and then his face
suddenly softened. That's a
queer little kid, he muttered.
Too bad he's a cripple.
The woman had no fault to find
with the mans work. He had
plenty to do and dill it in a handy
way and with a cheerful spirit.
He cut wood, he cleared up the
garden, he painted the old barn.
You mustn't work too hard, the
woman said to him one day.
Don't you worry about me, he
answered in his CHEEKY way. This
is my vacation time.
The boy and the man became
the greatest Of friends. The boy
looked up to the man as TO a su-
perior being who knew the world
outside-the world to which he
could never hope to penetrate. |
And the man loved the boy for
his frankness, his quaintness, and |
above all for the perfect trust the |
lad had reposed in him.
The man talked with the woman |
about the boy. Her mind held |
fast to one subject-the possibil-
lty that the lad could be cured. |
AS the boy had said, she was
saving her little earnings, penny
oy penny, with that eventful trip
10 the great city always in view.
III had the money, ma'am, said
the man, I'd gladly give it to help i
the child. Or if had friends I'd
get it from them. But I'm a
ma'am, and every
mans hand is against me. He
suddenly paused. And there's
he making of splendid man in
he little chap, he added and ab-
'uptly walked away.
He had attacks of melancholy

The stand taken by the miners That
they need higher wages because of in

$3.50 a ton in the United States can
be bought for $500 n ton In Canada.
there Is something more than wages

The coal men take a different view
They cannot figure how the miners can
be paid more money and coal remain
at former prices.
