"why do you doubt your
senses?"
Because" said Scrooge, a
little thing affects them. A slight
disorder of the stomach makes
them cheat. You may be an I'M
digested bit of beer. a blot of mus
fard, a crumb of cheese, frag-
ment of an UNDERGONE potato.
There's more of gravy than OF
grave about you. Humbug, l tell
you! Humbug!"
At this the spirit raised fright
ful cry, and shook its chain with
such dismal and appalling noise,
that Scrooge held on tight to his
chair, to save himself from falling
in a swoon.

partition, why do you trouble me?"

spirit within him should walk
abroad among his fellowmen, and
travel far and wide; and If that
spirit goes not forth In life, 1t is
condemned to do SO after death.
II Is doomed to wander through
the world-oh, woe Is me!-and
witness what 1t cannot share, but
might have shared on earth, and
turned to happiness!"
Again the specter raised a cry

warm, and the thermometer a
long way below freezing; that he
was clad but lightly in his slip
pers, dressing-gown and night
cap; and that he had cold upon
him at that time. The grasp,
though gentle as a woman's hand,
was not to be resisted. He rose,
but finding that the Spirit made
toward the window, clasped his
robe in supplication.
II am a mortal" Scrooge re-
monstrated, land liable to fall"
Bear but touch of my hand
there" said the Spirit, laying IL
upon his heart, land you shall be
upheld in more than this!"
AS the words we're spoken they
passed through the wall, and stood
upon an open country road, with
fields on either hand. The city had
entirely vanished. The darkness
and the mist had vanished with it

looked about him. 81 was bred in

| ly. Its gentle touch, though il
had been light and instantaneous
appeared still present to the ole
mans sense of telling. He was
conscious of a thousand odors
floating in the air, each one con.
| nected with q thousand thoughts
and hopes, and joys, and care
long, long, forgotten!
"Your lip is trembling" said the
Ghost. And what is that upon
your cheek?"
Scrooge muttered, with an un-
usual catching in his voice, that II
was a pimple, and begged the
Ghost to lead him where he would

Remember it," cried Scrooge
with fervor; 81 could walk II

Strange to have forgotten II
for so many years." observed the
Ghost. Let us go on!"
They walked along the road
Scrooge recognizing every gate
and post. and tree; until little
market town appeared in the dis
lance, with its bridge, its church
and winding river. Some shaggy
ponies now were seen trotting to-
ward them with boys upon their
backs, who called to other boys
in country gigs and carts, driven
by farmers. All these boys were
in great spirits, and shouted to
each other, until the broad fields
were so full of merry music that
the crisp air laughed to hear it!
"These are but shadows of the
things that have BEEN said the
Ghost. "They have no conscious

The jocund travellers came on;
and as they came, Scrooge knew
and named them every one. Why
was he rejoiced beyond all
bounds to see them? Why did his
cold eye glisten, and his heart
leap up as they went past? Why
was he filled with gladness when
he heard them give each other
Merry Christmas, as they parted at
crossroads and bye-ways, for
their several homes? What was

Merry Christmas to Scrooge? Out
upon Merry Christmas! What good
had 1t ever done to him?
THE school is not quite desert
ed" said the Ghost. "A solitary
child, neglected by his friends, Is
left there still"
Scrooge said he knew it. And
he sobbed.
They left the high road, by a
aforementioned lane, and soon
approached a mansion of dull red
brick. 1t was a large house, but
one of fallen fortunes, windows
broken and gates decayed.
They went, the Ghost and
Scrooge, across the hall, to a door
at the back of the house. 1t opened
before them, and disclosed long,
bare, melancholy room, made bar
er still by lines of plain deal
forms and desks. At one of these
a lonely boy was reading near a
! feeble fire; and Scrooge sat down
upon a form, and wept to see his
poor forgotten self as he used to
be.
The Spirit touched him on the
arm, and pointed to his younger
self, intent upon his reading. Sud-
denly a man, in foreign garments,
wonderfully real and distinct to
look at, stood outside the window,
! with an ak stuck in his belt, and
leading by the bride an ass laden
with wood.
"Why, it's Ali Baba!" Scrooge
exclaimed in ecstacy. ITS dear
old honest Ali Baba! Yes, yes, l
know! One Christmas time, when
yonder solitary child was left
here all alone, he did come, for
the first time, just like that. Poor
boy!"
To hear Scrooge expanding all
the earnestness of his nature on
such subjects, in most extraor-
binary voice between laughing and
crying, and to see his heightened
and excited face, would have been
surprise to his business friends
in the city, indeed.
There's the PARROT" cried
Scrooge. Green body and yellow
tail, with a thing like lettuce
growing out of the top of his
head; there he Is! Poor Robin
Crusoe, he called him, when he
came home again after sailing
round the island, Poor Robin
Crusoe, where have you been,
Robin Crusoe?' The man thought
he was dreaming, but he wasn't.
1t was the Parrot, you know.
There goes Friday. running for his
life to the little creek! Halloa!
Hoop! Halloo!"
Then, with a rapidity of transit
tion very foreign to his usual char
acter, he said, in pity for his for
mer self, Poor boy!" and cried
again.
The Ghost smiled thoughtfully,
and waved it's hand; saying as 1t
did so, Let us see another Christ
mas"
Scrooge's former self grew larg-
er at the words, and the room be-
came a little darker and more
dirty. The panels shrunk, the win
dows cracked; fragments of plas-
ter fell out of the ceiling, and the
naked laths were shown instead;
but how all this was brought
about, Scrooge knew no more than
you do. He only knew that it was
quite correct; that everything had
happened so; that there he was,
alone again, when all the other
boys had gone home for the jolly
holidays.
He was not reading nova but
walking up and down despairingly,
towards the door.
1t opened; and a little girl,
much younger than the boy, came
darting in. and putting her arms
about his neck. and often kissing

KANSAS CITY, No., Dec. 25.-
Peck's bad boy In real life is In
trouble with the courts and has
shattered the hopes OF his foster
mother who sacrificed her future
happiness for him.
Miss Emma Feren, school prin-
cipal, spent 80 years building up
a rural school until it became
worthy of big city. But when
she adopted Johnny Grady, now
Johnny Feren, authorities sent her
to another old, broken-down
schoolhouse. 1t was their protest
against her adoption of the boy.
But Miss Feren continued being
mother to Johnny.
The last straw came when
Johnny set fire to three buildings
in Dodson, a suburb of this city,
causing $70,000 loss.
This has nearly broken her
heart. She waivers now between
sticking to the boy and giving him
up.
