in charity, beggars one l didn't
work for you, Mister, so | didn't
earn it."
"Well! Well" calculated much
surprised pedestrian. $50 your Dad
says all that / would like to meet
your Dad, young man. 1t would
be an honor"
dad and l are all the family
now" The boy paused and skinny
hand tugged at the pedestrians
coat. "You mustn't mind Dad not
shaking hands. He is funny, uses
both hands to pick up anything, and
then sometimes can't do it,
AS they passed through rickety
door on the fifth floor, they stepped
at once into a living which
was evidently also used for what
ever else might be required. A man
sat on the edge of cot, elbows on
knees, hands dangling downward,
silver-templed head bent: sad pic
ture of complete detection, but
which was at once frightened as he
came abruptly to his feet, strange
ly winning smile of pleasure irradi-
ating his face at the entrance of his
son. AS his glance Travelled beyond,
his look changed to one of utter sur
prise, incredulity, and then to sheer
Joy.
The two men stood regarding
each other in amazement. Then the
pedestrian, unheeding the boys
warning, sprang forward with both
hands extended. Swift pain con-
tracing his features, the other held
up his arms from which the two
hands helplessly dangled.
They held each other off, greedily
gazing; they thumped each other on
the backs, the crippled one with
such whacks as he could admins
ter with his arms. Then later, in
reply:
Game on suddenly in the night,
after / lost his mother, Alma-you
remember Alma? - Bet you dol
Good old sport; nany's the quar-
rel we had that senior year over
the nights / spent out. Happv.
though, with life Drumming over the
cup! Well, we married, and for six
years it was heaven. Yes, l have
the boy. But this" he made a
gesture with his helpless hands
"been TO all the clinics in three cit.
les. A specialist was interested and
gave me lot of attention. Nothing
could be done, he said.''
The boy opened a lop-sided door
and stepped outside onto tiny bal.
cony, which served for the purpose
of drying clothes and storing food
when there was any to store. The
two old college chums were left
alone.
A splintering of wood, Shrek OF
terror. The father reached the door
first, which he kicked open. A bro.
ken rail-a jagged upright post
which was thrust through the front
OF the boys overalls-there he hung
backward over space-the straps o.
the overalls being the only hold be
tween the child and destruction.
A thought leaped to, the father,
mind. Thank God Mrs. Leer,
sewed those buttons on only Las
night" But quicker than though
he had grabbed both of the bow,
ankles, one in each hand, drawins
him to safety.
Back into the room, patting ant
stroking him, soothing him with Low
ing words, the father reached to hi,
pocket for his handkerchief.
As he raised it to wipe the boy,
tears his gaze fastened first on on,
hand and then on the other with
look OF utter bewilderment, then h,
raised his eyee to the pedestrian
and dried his sons tears and thel
his own.

Why, my dear, they change the

After I'd talked to Henry
three or four hours he finally ad-
