The OUrCAST
BY WALTER H. GAMBLER.

It was Christmas eve, the snow
was falling steadily in big flakes. A
lone man on crutches made his
way painfully along the railroad
track, stopping occasionally to
brush the wet snow from his beard
and slouched hat. He was thinking
of another Christmas eve one year
ago-just such night. They had
carried HIM to the hospital after the
accident. The accident! Yes, he
remembered it with startling vivid
ness, but when he tried to think be-
yond the accident his mind was
clouded and things seemed like a
vague dream he had had some time
or other. There was the doctor at
the hospital who had bandaged his
fractured leg, and there was the
nurse who reminded him so much
of his sister-Who now appeared to
him as dream child in some fairy
land far away-all night long she
sat by his bedside soothing away
the pain and now and again moist
ening his parched lips.
And then morning came, Christ
mas morning! The sunbeams peep
ed through the window, and he had
forgotten the pain, and was just
slipping into dreamland, trying to
think why he, tramp, should be
treated with such consideration by
decent people. The nurse, who had
been called away, came to him and
placed her hand gently upon his
forehead. He remembered the
strange expression on her face when
he opened his eyes and looked at
her.
She told him of very sad acci-
dent that had happened that same
Christmas eve. The daughter of a
wealthy man had been frightfully
burned. There was little chance
for her recovery. The doctor had
told her if they could get some
human skin to replace the charred
mass on her back, they might be
able to save her, and would he vol
unteer to give his leg to save her
life?
Would he? For moment there
was fierce struggle in his soul, but
only for moment. then he looked
up into the nurses face; the tears
were trickling down her cheeks. He
tried to speak. but the words would
not come through the dry parched
throat and lips; he nodded his head
that wa enough. Then came the
operating room, the choloroform
and oblivion. When consciousness
returned the nurse was there-the

their comment of his wonderful
sacrifice and bravery:

Yes, the world talked about him

of even greater import. 1t wa'

What human heart could be COM

ence could it make? Would the
world not be better off without him?
On and on he stumbled through
the darkness, fearful to stop lest
that horrible stupor which he had
been fighting off so long, take pos
session of him. His hunger was
not so fierce now as it had been.
Why was it? Was he growing ac-
customed to going without food?
A big house loomed up in the
darkness not far from the track;
bright lights were flooding every
window. He made his way toward
the house. Would he ever reach it?
The lights seemed to grow further
and further and away as he ap-
preached. The sound of merry
voices reached his ears. He felt
that queer sensation creeping up
his spine. He stopped to knock
the snow from his face and to
feel the stump of his leg which had
grown numb; he was feeling queer.
yet there was no pain. What was
it, was he starving, or freezing, to
death?
There! he could see through one
of the big windows. What was that
he saw? At first his eyes seemed
to have failed him, then his vision
gradually cleared, and there before
him in the big warm, comfortable
room was a beautiful Christmas
tree laden with oranges, fire crack
ers, dolls, candy in sacks, toy pistols,
pocket knives, tops and many other
things dear to a child.
He could see the children as they
fitted gleefully here and there full
of childish expectancy. From an
adjoining room came the father and
mother and a gray haired man with
a tall beautiful young lady. Was
he lninisrer? Yes, they were
kneeling in prayer. The words came
slow and measured and pathetic:
we are thankful dear Father
that we are privileged to enjoy all
these blessings"
The man at the window listened
with bowed head. He tried to
raise his hand to brush the snow
from his face, but it would not let

the other hand, it too, was fastened
He raised his head with difficulty
and looked into the room, the pray
er was finished. look of happiness
beamed in each little expectant
face. The many presents were be-
ing distributed, he could hear the
snap of toy pistols and the hoarse
unmusical sound of the little red
and gilded bueles, then a white
cloud descended slowly cutting of
his view of the room, it was his
breath freezing on the window
pane.
A fireside scene of long, long age
appeared to him on the white
sheen. A little boy and girl were
hanging up their stockings by tht
old fashioned fire place. He coule
see their glad faces as they knelt a

children lost interest in their dolls
and other toys and began to yawn.
Little Frank wandered over to the
wiadow and tried % ok out.

of long ago, we feel the touch of a
hand in gentle caress, or the warmth
of a kiss.
The man at the window was lis
tening with rapt attention. not to
the childish voices inside the room
but to the voices of long ago, and
as he listened, the tears rolled down
his cheeks and froze on his rough
unkempt beard. There was no
bitterness in his heart, not even for
those goodly housewives who had
refused him food these four days.
He had never harmed acy one in
all his life. He realized as he stood
there that his whole life had been
mistake, that he had started Of
wrong in the first place. yet he
blamed no one for his mistake. He
had given his limb to save a life. he
would have given more if necessa-
ry, but that was all they asked for
and yet, when he had asked for
a scrap of bread to save his own
life, they had refused him. Was
this the plan. Were things so Or
dered in the beginning of the world
that soul upon soul should be whirl-
ed in fierce attrition in infinite tur-
imol? Was this the vision ultimate?
The queer sensation he had at
first felt creeping up his spine now
enveloped his entire being. He
tried to move closer to the window
which seemed to be slipping slowly
away, but he could not move; the
voices of the children were now al
most inaudible; In the distance he
could hear bells ringing Perhaps
they were Christmas bells! now
they were coming closer and from
every direction, hundreds and
thousands of them of all sizes
and tones. There before him was
a large warm dining room, the table
was spread with white linen-did
linen ever seem whittier? All, yes
the feast was spread, there was
every thing good to eat and tempt
ing. There was his sister entering
the diningroom smiling and beck :

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. TO-
Senator Gronna Of North Dakota has
again launched the fight for prohibi-
ton in Hawaii. He obtained an early
start by introducing on the second
day of Congress his former bill pro-
viding absolute prohibition for the
Territory. He proposes to get right
behind this measure and hustle 1t
along, with the expectation that ac-
tion can be secured at this session.
In any event Senator Gronna has
two entire years in which to work
for the passage. of his bill II he fails
this winter he will have another OPP
portunity during the short session. a
year hence. He expects the assist
ance of the temperance forces.
Other legislation for Hawaii has
been started through the mill Dele
gate Kalanianaole offered bills on
the opening day and Senator. Warren
presented them to the senate on the
following afternoon. Charles K.
Forbes, superintendent of public
works, is here on the spot and already
has begun pushing these measures
along. He is q worker from away
back" He has conferred with thirty
or forty members Of Congress and
feels certain they will do more for
Hawaii this winter than in the past.
He also has arranged for committee
hearings and hopes to obtain favor

fore the Christmas holidays roll
around.
Forbes Makes Good Impression.
1t seems absolutely certain that Mr..
Forbes will not permit any grass to
grow under his feet, even when the
warm weather comes along, and def.
mite results may be expected from his
activities. He Is going to work sys-
tematically and in earnest. That is
the only method iby which anything
can be accomplished with Congress,
Among the bills already laid before
Congress are:
To establish a fish-cultural and
biological station in the Territory OF
Hawaii.

Kauai
To establish national park at
