stones on the gray wall; 1t capered
about the pavement like an elf doing
IA polka and was altogether the merri-
est piece of business In that particular
SPOT that had happened for years. The
man with the tin whistle was thinking
about Rawlings. his dog at home. and
I'm convinced it put something into
his tune that was irresistible. For let
me tell you! In two minutes who
should come running down the steps
In front of him but q young lady with
the pinkest cheeks and the laughing
est eyes he had ever seen. She was
smiling at him as though she had
known him all her life.
'I love that tune!" she said. 1T al
ways make me want to skip my feet.
You can't think how nice 1t Is to hear
II this miserable night. Thank you u
And the little cup had the surprising
mouthful of quarter.
"There's supper for me and Ravel'
ings," thought the man with the tin
whistle, as he tipped his hat.
And before he could decide whether
II would be hot dogs or soup, some
body else was smiling at him. This
time it was a quiet man with gray
hair.
II always look for you when / come
down the STAIRS" said the man, "and !
like to hear those rollicking little
tunes you play. It cheers man up
after a long days work. Merry
Chrlstmasl And, II you'll believe me,
the quiet man with the gray hair

cup ratified Importantly and gave every
Indication of being ready for anything
after this.

The Deaf
Ear That Heard
20, 1929. Western Newspaper Union.)
b c chrislophss q. HasArd

(Q, l92s, western Newspaper CuIon.J
MRS. BECOME was not giving any
AVA thing that Christmas. The an
nouncement of her limited purposes
had sent chill through the house
that froze the hopes of several young
people. A shower Of one-cent cards
registering good wishes that were
rather cheap. had gone out. The bag
Of candy for the eager, but insincere'
well-wishers that ring Christmas bells
year by year had not been provided.
The outlook was not promising.
Besides, Mrs. Begone was very deaf
in one ear and could, upon OCCASION
be very deaf In two ears. II was
difficult to make her hear anything
that she didn't want to hear. Ihere
wasn't much chance for persuasive
argument. She could be as deaf as an
adder, when she had concluded not TO
be a multiplIer.
Nevertheless, Susy did not despair; !;
choosing favorable after dinner time,
she advanced to the attack with
well prepared Christmas appeal which
was favored with antlcipations.
But as soon as the old lady heard
the word "Christmas" she became
wholly unable to hear more. Susy con-
tipued from behind her back, got
down on her knees, peered up from
the floor, peeped up through hcr
fingers, without effect. Finally. re-
marking in an aside, wouldn't she
wear YOU out?" the child was about
to give up, when she was encouraged
by the beginning Of a smile that
seemed to promise to spread all over
Mrs, Begone's countenance. ihis
hint of success was reflected IN
broader smile upon the child's face
that in turn found registry upon the
face of the other and certineu 'na'
the battle was won.
It was q costly smile for Mrs. ne,
gone: six very empty stockings asked
for contributions the next eVeElns'
but I dare say that she was happier 10
flline them than she would have been
n her deafness had not been cured
She was even happier than the cni,'
dren, and that Is saying good oeai:
She was 80 happy that she chahseo

II everything was trying to
make life as dreary as possible, in
stead of as merry. 1t would not even
snow. A fine, sharp drizzle swept In
under the bridge where the man with
the tin whistle stood, and managed to
get inside the tops of his boots and
his collar and up his coatsleeves; 1t
was very disappointing indeed.
Holiday season was usually a Jolly
one for pennies. Either people had q
great deal more at that time, or they
were bent on getting rid of those they
had. The man with the tin whistle
kept little cup that possessed a most
remarkable appetite for coppersl It
could hold as many pennies at one
gulp as boy eating ralsins out of a
plum pudding; and that's saying a
great deal! But today the little cup
was almost empty. Nobody had time
to stop and dig around in pockets for
loose coins; 1t was too cold, and their
gloves bothered and they wanted to
get home. where their children were
waiting to clap their hands over the
packages from the stores. The man
with the tin whistle wanted to get
home, too. He did not have any chill
dren waiting for him, and they would
have had no bundles to sQueal over II
he did, but there was a funny. raggedy
dog that always expected something.
and danced around In dizzy, delight
full way that was very cheerful. But
how could the man with the tin whis-
tie go home when his tunes brought
him nothing but numb fingers and a
feeling in his feet as If they had
turned to wood?

THE FAILING FLASH

THERE was pattering of
L feet through the hall and a
small spot Of light approached
the big fireplace. A long and
dubious stocking was clasped to
a beating heart and an eager
little face was half revealed as
1t turned bedward again In the
faint gllmDer. Then a sudden
darkness overwhelmed the small
pilgrim. and. as she lost her way
and bumped into a chair, the
stuffed Christmas stocking fell
to the floor with a bang. The
wall that followed brought
father down stairs In a hurry
and comfort to the lost traveller.
"What Is the matter. baby. what
are you doing here?" said the
rescuer. 1.-THE 'lectricity fell
out" was the fearful answer.
