So he began now to learn the right hand part first. He put the soft pedal down and struck the notes as gently as possible, because he did not want Mr. Elton in the mas- ters’ room overhead to hear the tune. It was to be a surprise on Christmas eve—supposing that it could be got in- to good going order by that time. Asa matter of fact the precaution was need- less; the tune in its embryo state might safely have been audible, as it would certainly not have been recognizable. At 9 o’clock there was supper, and, as Mr. Bunby frequently pointed out, all the best doctors are agreed that this meal, if taken at all, should be as light as possible. After supper Elton read prayers, omitting two somewhat lengthy petitions for ‘‘a steady and conscientious application to our studies’’ and for ‘‘such pleasant and friendly in- tercourse with our comrades as may best tend to promote,” etc. These were, he considered, only applicable in term time. Mr. Bunby had composed these prayers himself, and it is greatly to be feared that Tommy regarded their abbreviation as one more of the relaxa- tions that the holidays had brought with them. Then Tommy went off to his bed- room, read ‘‘Treasure Island’’ for half an hour by the light of one surreptitious candle, and finally dropped off to sleep. Elton, in the masters’ room, sat before the fire, pondered and pitied himself. It was going to be terribly lonely for him. In consideration of his board and lodging and a fraction under 1 shilling and 8 pence per diem he had sentenced himself to absolute solitude. There was Tommy, of course, but Tommy did not count, or rather Tommy made things worse. All through the term there were many Tommies. The chief point of the holidays was that they brought with them a complete absence of boys. That point was lost, for he would certainly have to suffer Tommy’s presence at mealtimes, and he would also be ex- pected to exercise some sort of slight su- pervision of his movements during the day. That was what a man of intelli- gence and education and taste was com- pelled to endure in order to secure for himself the paltry privilege of being al- lowed tolive. Was it worth while? Em- phatically not. He would have prefer- red to die, but being a victim to the primary instinct he went to sleep in- stead. He also read in bed, but his book was the English translation of Schopen- hauer, and it was on the floor in ten minutes. ‘“ What are you going to do with your- self?”’ he asked Tommy on the follow- ing morning. ‘‘My old stampbook’s come to bits, ”’ replied Tommy, ‘‘and I've got a better one that was a present. So I’m going to float off all the stamps out of thé old one and put them’ — “Yes, yes, I see.” ‘“The chaps being away, I can get all the lavatory basins at once for floating the pages in, and that keeps the stamps from getting mixed. I can have all the basins, can’t I?’ “Yes. Don’t makeany mess, though, and don’t go out until I return.’ Then Elton sauntered down into the town, smoking openly the cigarette that in term time was prohibited. He exam- ined the shops, with their Christmas cards, Christmas toys, Christmas tur- keys, and as he did so a very great idea came to him. He would occupy his lei- sure during the holidays by the compo- sition of a long, satirical poem, to be called ‘‘Christmas Reviewed.’ By the audacity of its manner of dealing with a sacred subject, by its fierce and con- centrated bitterness, by its marvelous melancholy and by its exquisite finish it should attract attention and apprecia- tion. Such things would be worthless to a man without illusions, but he was prepared to work hard to secure them. He went into the best stationer’s shop at once. ‘‘Have you, ~’ he inquired, ‘‘any hand- ade writing paper, with the rough edge, you know? Letter size? It might be scribbling or letter—but not folded as letter. ”’ The stationer reflected, touched his forehead, beamed with sudden recollec- tion and was off up a ladder like an adventurous monkey in a black coat. Down he came with his dusty prize, blowing it, smacking it, active and businesslike. A touch and a jerk, and the knot that only business could tie was loosened as only business could loos- enit. The soiled covers fell apart. There in creamy whiteness, with rough edge, was ‘‘an article that I've had no in- quiry for, sir, for years.” After this, as the days went on to- ward Christmas, Elton saw less and less of Tommy Maynham. The boy was well behaved apparently and did not re- quire supervision. Absorbed in his com- position, Elton hardly noticed him. Sometimes at meals the boy would speak to Elton, and Elton’s answer would come after a lapse of minutes or not at all. It was not, as Tommy sup- posed, that the master wished to snub the boy, but only that Elton had in the carrying out of his very great idea be- come somewhat absentminded. If he had noticed the boy at all, he would have noticed that his cheerfulness and activity were fast vanishing. The stamps were all correctly arranged in the stampbook now, ‘‘Treasure Island’’ was finished, and Tommy’s order for an- other of the same brand was still the subject of apologies from the bookseller. ‘““Here! Have you got my book yet,’’ asked Tommy, ‘‘and if you haven’t why the dickens haven’t you?’ The bookseller referred to ‘‘the de- lays in transmission inevitable during the pressure of business prevalent at this season of the year. ”’ | walked out of the shop. Tommy remarked ‘‘S&ittiesr” anu | He would not so much have minded | having next to nothing to do if he had | only had somebody with whom to do it. | Not being analytical, he grew dull and | dejected without being conscious of the | i reason for it. The day before Christmas | day he cheered him up a little. A ham- per arrived for him containing much that was edible and a Jules Verne that was readable. There were letters from India with Christmas cards and postal | orders in them. There were letters from his cousins. There were sundry small packages containing presents. He him- self was busy with the sending of let- ters and cards, and with a final rehears- al of that tune he had been so anxious to learn. The treble of it had by this time been brought to a satisfactory con- dition, and a great deal of the bass was only a very little wrong. On the whole, the prospects of making it a proper Christmas seemed to him much better than they had done the day before. That night when Tommy went up to his bedroom he did not go to sleep; on the contrary, he adopted precautions to keep himself awake. He drank cold cof- fee of exceptional strength, made to his order by a local confectioner and brought up from the shop in a medicine bottle. This, in conjunction with the excitement of the Jules Verne, kept him from sleep until 11 o’clock. It was at that hour, he remembered, that the waits generally began at home. He went down stairs to the dayroom, lit (as though there were no such things as gas bills) both the gas jets, opened the piano, arranged the music, clapped down the loud pedal and commenced. He played hard and he sang hard. Tom- my’s rendering of ‘‘Hark! the Herald Angels Sing’’ could be heard distinctly —as he intended it to be heard—all over the building. “Now this,” Tommy thought to himself, ‘‘will be a surprise for Mr. El- ton.”’ It was. Up stairs in his own room Mr. Elton could hardly believe his ears. Here was apparently an open defiance of rules and discipline. He put down the manuscript of ‘‘Christmas Review- ed,’”’ now approaching its maturity, and dashed down stairs to the dayroom. “What is the meaning of this?’ he asked angrily. Tommy smiled, turned round on the music stool and explained. “I was going to have asked permis- sion,”’ he said, ‘‘only I couldn’t, be- cause it was meant to be a surprise for you, sir, and I thought you wouldn’t mind.”’ ‘Not mind a row like this past 11 o’clock at night! What are you talking about?’ “Well, sir, the boy that does the boots told me that the regular waits never came up here, because Mr. Bunby never gives anybody anything. >’ ‘“You’ve no business to be chattering to the bootboy at all.’ Tommy’s real excuse—that during the greater part of the day there was absolutely no one else to whom he could talk at all—seemed to him too silly to put forward. “I don’t often do it,”’ he pleaded. “We always have the waits at Christ- mas, and that gave me the idea. Ididn’t mean to do any harm. ”’ “Very likely ; but you must please re- member that rules are rules. You've given me no trouble so far, and I be- lieve that you didn’t intend to give any now. For that reason I shan’t punish you. Now shut the piano and run back to your bedroom, and another time try to think before you do anything.’ Tommy thanked him, said good night and went off to his room. It wasalla failure, and he wished that he had nev- er thought of it. Christmas was not be- ginning very well. When Elton came down to breakfast on the following morning, he found a white envelope on his plate. Tommy, looking rather self conscious, watched that envelope out of a corner of his eye as Elton opened it. It contained a Christ- mas card. On one side was a picture of a small church and a hard frost, on the other was written in a boyish hand, “With love and best wishes from T. Maynham.’’ Elton glanced at it and put it down. He never sent cards him- self and did not like receiving them. **Very pretty,”’ he said. ‘‘Thank you, Maynham. The compliments of the season to you.’’ Then he relapsed into silence and Schopenhauer. When he got up from breakfast, he forgot to take the card. Tommy brought it to him just as he was leaving the dining hall. “Ah, thanks!’’ said Elton. ‘I'm al- ways forgetting my letters, you know. ’’ But this did not reassure Tommy. He knew that the card was, like the hymn tune, a failure. Elton sauntered up stairs to his own room and dropped the card into the waste paper basket. Tom- my went to church alone that morning. Elton explained that he had an incipi- ent cold and thought it would be better for him to keep to the house that morn- ing. As a matter of fact, he wished to finish copying out that bitter satire, “Christmas Reviewed.’’ It would be an additional point if it were finished on Christmas day. As he began work an uneasy idea flashed across him that he might just as well look after Tommy a little bit more and make things pleas- anter for him. Tommy apparently took Christmas very seriously and would like a little more sociability. He made up his mind to encourage Tommy to talk at dinner, and perhaps spend a few minutes in the dayroom with him aft- erward. Elton was not an unkind man, only rather vain, rather selfish and fre- quently forgetful. By the time that the dinner bell rang he had forgotten all about Tommy and had worked up his dejection and detestation of life (by close application to ‘Christmas Review- ed’’) to such a pitch that he neither wanted to talk to anybody nor see any- body. It is to be feared that that dinner must place Tommy in no heroic light. Christmas dinner was in all of Tom- my’s previous experience a banquet. Tradition demanded that there should ha tnrkev in it. The bootboy had told Tommy (though a superficial knowledge | of Mr. Bunby should have taught him | better) that he was pretty certain it would be turkey. Tommy had expected turkey. He had pictured it carved lib- erally by a smiling master, now at last awake to the joviality of the season, and handed to a rejoicing boy. He had decided to ask Mr. Elton that excellent riddle about Turkey and China which Tommy’s uncle never failed to propound on due occasion. Why, the mere eating of the turkey would be a mystic bond of union between himself in exile and his people at home. Five minutes be- fore dinner his imagination plainly de- tected the very smell of turkey. And it was a leg of mutton. Elton carved it without seeming at all con- scious that it was wrong or even con- scious that Tommy was present. It is an authenticated fact that thousands of starving families would have welcomed that leg of mutton and that some re- ligious orders habitually take their meals in silence. Tommy, being neither a starving family nor a religious order, but merely a wretched boy, for the first time in his life refused a second help. And then came arice pudding and more silence. It is an authenticated fact that some whole nations live almost entirely on rice. It is singularly nutritious. Then Tommy rose and said, with fair steadiness: ‘“‘May I go, sir? I'm not well.” “Certainly,” said Elton. Of course Tommy’s people had sent him a ham- per, and the boy had eaten too much. Pig! Well, it was all a suggestion for ‘Christmas Reviewed.” Elton finished his dinner leisurely and then supposed that he would have to go and look after the disgusting little beast. He found him in the dayroom. The disgusting little beast was sitting, with a book in front of him, at the far- ther end of the table. His head rested on his hands, and when Elton entered he turned away as much as possible. “Well, Maynham, what’s the mat- ter?’ “I’m all right now, Tommy. It did not sound like the boy’s natu- ral voice. Elton came farther into the room and then saw that Tommy was crying. He went up to him and took him by the shoulder. “Why, Maynham,’’ he said, ‘‘this doesn’t look as if everything was all right.” “I wish it wasn’t Christmas,” said Tommy and continued crying. ‘‘But I'm all right,’’ he added. Slowly and incoherently, in reply to Elton’s questions, he told what was the matter. He spoke of what he had been used to do at Christmas. It was loneli- ness that was the matter—Iloneliness and neglect and unfriendliness, amount- ing to contempt and even cruelty. Tommy did not accuse Elton of any of these things. He did not seem to think Elton had behaved badly to him, but Elton was sufficiently intelligent to make deductions. ‘“ Well,’ said Elton, ‘I’m glad you're sir,” said not really ill, because I wanted you this afternoon. ’’ “Wanted me?’ ‘Yes, I've had a lot of work on hand these last few days. But I shan’t work on Christmas day, and, besides, I’m sick of being alone always. If you're not too keen on your book, what I should really like would be a game of draughts, only I haven’t'got a board. ”’ “I have,” said Tommy. ‘‘Shall I get it?” ‘ ‘Do. ” “It’s in my room. I’ll be down with it in a minute.”’ “Oh, we won’t play here,” said El- ton. ‘‘This room isn’t very comfortable. Come to my sitting room.’ The master’s sitting room was not luxurious, but it was a paradise com- pared to the dayroom. It was a para- dise which no boy at Redhurst had ever yet been allowed to enter. Here was an invitation that was honor indeed. Tommy was effusive in his thanks. It took Tommy two minutes to find that draughtboard. During these two min- utes Elton had time to get to his room, fish Tommy’s card out of the waste pa- per basket, discover that it would just fit the frame that now held a photo- graph of Gibbing’s sister, remove the photograph and substitute the card and place it in the center of the mantel- piece. Tommy’s eyes lighted on it as he came into the room. “Why, that’s one!’’ he exclaimed. “Yes, we've given you the place of honor. Wonderful, that frost effect is!’’ “And it’s just done with glue and powdered glass, ’’ said Tommy. ‘‘Icould do it myself.” ‘“But you can’t beat me at draughts. Come along with you now.” Elton intended to let Tommy win the first game. Tommy saved him the trou- ble by taking it. Then Elton decided to win the second game himself, played carefully and lost it. ‘“Why shouldn’t we have tea up here?’ suggested Elton. ‘Run down stairs and fetch the things up, and we’ll make a picnic.” This was the sort of thing that Tommy liked. Any boy prefers an irregular to a regular meal. Tommy, rather shyly and apologetically, added a cake, ‘‘ which they sent me, and it isn’t half bad really, sir, if you’d try it.’’ Elton tried it and was enthusiastic. ‘“Are we going to have any waits to- night?’’ asked Elton, smiling, just be- fore supper. ‘‘Come, Tommy, let’s have the performance now, at a reasonable time.’ So the tune came in seasonably after all, and if the left hand did omit the more difficult chords and play the easier ones wrong, neither Tommy nor Mr. Elton seemed to consider that this at all detracted from the general effect. Tommy went to bed radiantly happy. It had not taken very much to make him happy. When Tommy had gone to bed, Elton so far disregarded Mr. Bunby’s direc- tions as to ring the bell and ask for the cook. She came, astonished, somewhat flustered. a turkey for dinner tomorrow. ’’ Cook was sure that they ought to! have it, too, only Mr. Bunby wouldn't | hear of it, and if he saw turkey in the | dinner book—well, there! Let alone Or- ley, the poulterer, being shut on bank | holiday. She was sorry, too, she was. | But Mr. Elton knew what Mr. Bunby | was—oh, most careful, and—well, there! | “Lock here, cook,’’ said Elton, ‘‘this| 18 a sovereign. Mr. Bunby need not | “Cook,” said Elton, ‘‘we must nave | | | risk losing your custom for 20 bank hol- | idays. Get the turkey, keep the change | for a Christmas box, and the compli-' the turkey arrived all right. In the! dinner book the cook made the simple | entry ‘‘Muton chopes,’’ and hoped that | it was not acting of a lie—which, how- | ever, it was. Elton found that he had enjoyed the | latter part of that day more than he had enjoyed anything for some time. His nature had not changed, but his point of view had. He saw himself less as a master and more asaman. And during the rest of the holidays he did his best to wipe out from his memory (and Tommy’s) his recollection of himself as a brute. One night at the end of the holidays he came across a poem on handmade paper, entitled ‘‘Christmas Reviewed.’ Some of it was very clever and very bit- ter. Elton was ashamed of it and burn- ed it. But he still keeps one document of which he is even more ashamed—a let- ter from Tommy’s mother in India wishing to thank him personally and most warmly for his great goodness and kindness to her dear little son during the Christmas holidays. The Lafayette Dollar. The First One Philadelphia Mint. Struck at The first Lafayette dollar, the unique specimen authorized by congress in aid of the fund for the erection of the Lafayette monument in Paris, was struck off at the United States mint in Philadelphia Fri- day. This coin will be presented by the president of the United States to the presi- dent of France. Fifty thousand of the coins will be struck and are to be disposed of at a cost of $2 apiece. Payment for them must be in the hands of the Lafay- ette Memorial commission not later than Monday. The coin is a legal tender dollar and bears upon its face a double medallion of the heads of Washington and Lafayette and on the reverse a miniature reproduc- tion of the equestrian statue of Lafayette, with the inscription, ‘‘In commemoration of monument erected by school youth of the United States to General Lafayette Paris, Frauce, 1900.” Secretary Gage’ on December 8, ordered the purchase of silver bullion for the min- tage of the Lafayette dollar. A specimen coin had been submitted by the secretary of the treasury to the Lafayette memorial commission and upon the recommendation of a special expert committee composed of Artist Frank Millet, and C. A. Cool- idge, who pronounce the coin the most artistic piece of work turned out by the United States mint, was approved. This being the 100 anniversary of the death of George Washington it was consid- ered appropriate that the coins should be minted now. The second coin struck off was forwarded to Mrs. McKinley, while the third was given to Mrs. Kate Thyson Marr, of Washington.
