THE BOY AND THE PESSIMIST.
Concluded from Page 6.
hand might come in gently where it
would and as it could. 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.
