His Last
Request
By JULIA GRAY

! ~ VEN the little old basement din
| - ing room had put on quite a
| festive appearance Christmas
morning. 1t was rather cold,
| ana the furnace was in its usual state
or coy reserve, but Farley had stuck
molly and evergreen around the OIL
paintings of garnished fish and "High-
land Cattle" and each table had Il
brave sprig OF mistletoe tied with Grim
son and green ribbon laid beside each
plate. That was Beth's special offer
ing.
| AS each member of the household
came in the greetings were hearty and
quite satisfactory, even TO Beth. She
! had not thought the experiment would
bring out even that much fellowship
and good will from the silent, self-ab-
sorbed crowd at Mrs. Forbes.
She put the prettiest bunch of all
and card of Christmas cheer beside
Mr.. Benchley's plate. Poor, grouchy
Old ScOtchman, nobody ever had a
good word for him. In all the months
that she had been an inmate of the
| Forbes dOmicile she couldn't remember
that anyone had ever given him even
! pleasant greeting. He came down
stairs to breakfast late and always
Grumbling, grumbled at his food, which
Carrie, the colored maid, slid across
the table at him, grumbled at the fur
mace and weather and the mailman,
at the boarders and Mrs. Forbes and
life in general.
But Beth liked him best of all. Thai
morning she had found outside her
door box of fresh violets and bool,
she had been wishing for inscribed
( from her sincere friend, Alan Farley.
IL was the book more than the inscrip-
ton that showed the thoughts of the
glver for it was named "The Well Be
loved" AS Beth glanced through il
she had smiled remembering verse
that Alan liked to repeat from Mrs.
Browning:
What shall l give to my beloved?
little faith all undisproved.
That was what he gave to her. ONLY
not in small measure, in full rich meas
ure, all his hearts faith aid love, ask
ing her to believe in him and be pa
tient for his success. And she could
not tell him that she didn't give a rap
for his success; that she would rather
hundred times over have been mar
ried to him, even if she had kept on
with her own work. and they had been
running mates together. So between
them was the promise of marriage and
to the boarding house at large he was
there sincere friend"
"The old mans sick in bed" said
Carrie briskly, as she swept the crumbs
from Beth's place. "He amt coming
down. He's grooming fearful"

''Oh, dear" Beth pushed back her
chair, but Farley was before her. She
found him bending over the old
man, tending him like an experienced
nurse.
Its only an attack of acute indiges-
tion," he told her. Hell be all right.
I'm good DOCTOR" He smiled down
at her. and Mr.. Benchley groaned and
turned over to see who had come in.
inlay wish you Merry Christmas,
Mr.. Benchley?" Beth asked. ''I'm so
sorry you don't feel WELL"
Don't feel well! Losh, mon, hear
the lass talk. Get more hot water.

up and placed couple Of pillows be-
hind him for support.

said.
Benchley looked from one face to
the other, one on each side of his bed,
and his eyes glowed from under their
thatch of heavy gray brows.

A story is told OF a little girl who,
in her evening prayer, told of a child
she had seen in the street that day.
He was ragged and 1 guess he was
cold" prayed the little worshiper, shut
that isn't any of our business, is it?"
That is the attitude of some people at
Christmas time. They do not seem to

out for any outside their own happy

ing you moo, they will ma wait too long.
The sex Is changeable. I've set my
heart on seeing you married before /
get another turn for the worst"
"Oh, Mr.. Benchley, you're all right"
began Beth, hastily, but he put his
hand up warningly.
Don't shock me or alarm me, and
don't be arguing WI me, neither, for
my hearts no too strong at that. I've
talked this out wi Alan before you
come at all, an he's beginning to see
LIGHT Already. I've been watching both
of you this long while, and I'm sick O.
the lalligagging and waiting. You can
so quietly over the river to Jersey and
be married right away, and I'll pay the
bill. Get ready, lass"
Alan's eyes begged her to be yield
ing, but it was the old set face lying
back on the pillows that moved her to
act as he wished, and she slipped up
to her own room without word to any
one.
When they came back it was the din
as they came down stairs together
Beth heard a voice in the dining room,
a resounding, hearty, strong voice, Mr..
Benchley speaking.
II had to use subterfuge WI them,"
he was saying. They're both obstin-
ate, but so am 1, and I've married
them off safe and sound by making it
my dying request. An when you see
them coming in you're to gi' them a
cheer"
He stopped short. Beth came first,
blushing and wide-eyed, with sprig
of mistletoe on her breast and anoth-
er in her fair hair. And the old >fel-
low waited breathlessly till she came
near. Bending over her, he kissed her
on her cheek.
"And. may God bless you both the
day." he finished.
