A LIVELY OLD PAUL
Hanlc-M Flint, E. f.. lawye r, :.t iilont;
in his b.-tL-lielor'n il'u iu u big ':iy rliair,
J'isfet incasoil in h pair of dilapidated
old clipper, rating on tlie fV-nd'T, bis
hatid.t thrust lialf way iiito hi trousers
pockets and bis head bent forward until
bin chili rested on his breast. Oil the
table lide bitn lay a cor.pb; of ne-rspa-pprs
and a yellow covered law book,
open at tho pae he liad be.-n consulting.
Lawyer Flint was deep in perplexing
thought, to judge, by tho expression cf
his face, for hi.s brow was clouded and
his lips compressed, arid occasionally be
turned his head toward tlie open volume
us if inclined to seek further aid frn::i
it, but with a slight shak of tho head
relapsed again into his former attitude.
lie had s at thus for a long time when
there was a knock at the door.
"Come in," said the lawyer, withoct
looking tip.
A servant girl entered, handed him a
note nnd withdrew.
Lawyer Flint opened the note, r.?ad it,
nttering an exclamation of impatience,
arose nnd paced r.j and down the room.
"So Kolingold can't meet me tomor
row because it'H Christmas," he mut
t"rpd, as he stalked aurora tho floor: "ev
ery day is important in this matter and
yet he, the one most interested, delays
proceedings twenty-four hours simply be
cause it happens to be Christmas. Gad!
1 can't see how a business man like Jtol
ingold can be so foolish. Well." ho con
tinued, "let him take his holiday and
enjoy it if he can; I couldn't. It's many
and many a long day since Christmas
interfered with my business."
Ho returned to his chair, but the train
of his thought had been interrupted and
his face now wore u cynicril, hard lool;
ashegHzed into the crackling fire. Once,
long ago, his Christmas days hud been
bright, too, but their brightness was ob
scured by more vivid recollections of
other Christmas times in later years,
when ambition and disappointment and
poverty anil greed ha 1 steeled his heart
and left no room for Christinas thoughts.
Oh, the years that he had worked and
starved and hoarded to reach his present
condition of comfortable independence!
As., he looked back upon them now his
lipg closed tighter and the bitterness
deepened in his face.
From a distant part of tho house came
tho sound of music, and tlie laughter of
chihjrenj and the hum of conversation.
But. the lawyer remained motionless
with his head upon his breast.
Rat-iat, rat-tat, rattle-tattle, rattle
tattle, rat-tat, rattlo-tattK rat-tat Tat.
What was that? It s-eined to come
frotithe closet at this other side of the
room. The lawyer went f ver and opened
the closet door: there wa.i nothing to be
neen t,-xcejit a lot of old law books piled
upon the shelves and a p;.ir of heavy old
boot on the floor.
"That noise must have come frora 1
low stairs, after nil," he said, "but it
seemed to be ri-jht iu the room; n.vinded
just like some one (lancing on a bare
floor. "
"I raaj'i.-t thirling of Uncle Tor;;,"
he continued, "and thern are tho boots
the old man left he-re when he, tot his
new ones nt the clos of his tisit, a
month ago. I must teli Joe to tal.e them
away.
He went over to tho chair and Put
down again. "Uncle Tom," he said to
hijii-svlf. "i!?.h! I hope ho enjoyed his
visitere. I didn't. I'd go crazy with
that 'blundering old man around me,
nudging mo and Mapping mo on the
baok, 'trying to got a little fun out "of
me',' us he Baid, with that everlasting,
good natured laugh of his. 'Christinas
'11 aooji be here, ho fcaid, as he was 1 av
.lng, ' 'n I hope you'll brace up, Harder,
Hfcd.ejijoy yourself. I'd s.liow you how to
do it f (could ttay with you.' Well, I
wonder wow what he'd do to tdiow mo
how tu enjoy Christmas'" s;aid the law
yer, us he nettled down in his chair.
Again the sounds of laughter and con-
' versation came faintly from below. The
violins struck up a lively uir and
Rattle-tc-tat-te, rattle-ti-tut-te, vat-te-
tattle-te-rattle-te-tut!
The lawyer looked quickly toward the
closet, tho door of which ho had left
open. He rubbed his eyes and looked
again. Yes, there could be. no mistake
about it, thero were Undo Tom's boots
stepping about on the closet floor, rat
tling off tho time with heel uud toe,
sidling across und back, right boot first,
left boot first, un with the right, up

"Ond!" Kii-l Lawyer Hint er.cit"dly,
"I lielieve they are g.jingor.t. I li.ut
ee the end of this thing."
He threw off his dr-sirg gon, hur
ried into hi shoes, ov-rc.,at and hat. und
followed the boots out of the htre-t door,
which had , ei -d at t!..-ir a preach.
Down the V.ej they tri ij ? 1 g,y!y and
turned toward tii" brilliantly ligiited
avenue. The still, starlit r.ight was bit
terly co! 1. and Lawyer Flint shivered a
he buttoned his heavy coat c!o.-e up
around his neck. Up the street he has
tened, following tlie empty boots, which
slipped sideways at every other step and
jnminel their heels into the trodden
snow, but made their way rapidly, never
theless. Around the corner, ir.to the avenue, in
and out among the throng of Christmas
eve pedestriaHs, dodging here and there,
stepping t.u toes, stopping in front ol
show windows, kicking themselves to
gether and stamping on the iTwund
thus went the old boots, and after them
followed the excited lawyer.
They turned into a big store. "Now,"
thought Lawyer Flint, as he entered
the d-'or. "so:no one will be sure to se-e
them." but strange to say. the boots
were- entirely unnoticed by the bussing,
laughing. h:.ppy j.ooplw who thronged
the store.
The lawyer leaned against tho toy
counter and watched the boot ui they
sliu.'ll 'd around on tiie floor.
"So-.a. thiiig for the littl ones.:"
Tlie qtiesttoii was ;i.e.l by a pr 'tty
salesgirl, an.l it was addressed t Har
der Flint. He started. ;r::d for the
first tilae realised that h was in a
rather peculiar position. Why was hn
btanding aroiind there, thr; people would
ask, if he tii 1 not wish to buy? How
long would he be oblige.! to remain': lie
couidu't tell. Should he say that he
was waiting f.,r tho.-e old boot.-? No,
no; he didn't wish on any account to
call attention to the ridiculous perform
ance they were going through.
"Yes-," he said, cue 'ring, "e iluething
lor tlie little ones; fiiel llieu he v.vnt
about fcel'-ctiiig tin horns, and silver
bells, uud woolly dog.s, and wooden
monkeys, and trumpets, and checkers,
and ilom;noes, crowing white and red
by tarns a ha thought of the fearful
extravagance, and, glancing- furtively,
with increasing impatience and anger,
at the bixits, which .seemed livelier tuan
ever as his purchases increased.
"Seven dollars and forty cents, please,"
said the salesgirl.
Into the silver ball went a good ten
dollar bill! click, click, it shot upward
and slid across the cashier's desk, while
the lawyer groaned and waited for his
change.
liattle-te-tat te, rattle-te-tat-te, rattle
te tat-le. r;;t-ta-tat! Went the old boots
close by his side. Several people looked
at him with smiles of amusement.
"Happy time, isn't it':" said a jolly little
fat man, glancing at the lawyer's big
bundle. "I feel like dancing myself."
"Change, sir; thank you. Merry
Christmas!"
The exusperated lawyer grasped his
bundle and hurried after tho boots,
which now f eemed anxious to get away
from the store. When he struck the cold
air und again drew his coat around him
he seemed somehow to feel less annoy
ance. The excitement of the chose had
wanned his bhxd. It was a curious
fe?ling that l-gannow to steal over him,
tin like cf which he had never experi
enced a fore, or at le;'st not for many
years, he ai 1 to him.;clf, as he stopped
before a candy store and followed the
boots inside.
"Candy for Christinas?" He smiled
alujost t'j think that he. Harder Flint,
fchould hear Mich a question addressed to
himself, and more astounding yet was
the fact that he did wautto buy some
candy for Christmas, and that ho really
Mood there, pockelbouk iu hand, wail
ing for it.
Ratth.'-tc-tat, te-tat-te-ta! !
A smile broke over the salt's girl's face
as she handed hitu the package of candy,
and away went the lawyer, lifter tho
boots, which seemed determined to giw
him a lively chase before tho evening
as over. Again lie was i:i l ha biting
air, but the warm blood coursed through
every vein in his body as ho hurried
u'ung. Again and again they stopped,
t.nlil Ihe lawyer's purse was nearly
empty and hi arms more tiian full. Tho
old boot fieeiiii.'d fairly wild with d
light, and Lawyer Flint could not, to
save his life, help laughing at them as
they shipped and blipnod uud danced
liiti'.ig Lhe si lewalk.
Away th -y led l.im, ontof theuventu',
ilown tlie dark nde streets, until ho
heard th sound of children hinging. In
tiiis direction tho old boots hastened and
flopped before the house from whenco
the singing cumo. Up the uteps they
went; the door openi-d, and somehow
the lawyer, too ranch flustered and con
fused to know how it wag exactly, found
himself in u room filled with children,
mid a lovely hidy was Miyiug to him:
'Ah! you're in time, sir. Thank you so
much. We haven't distributed the pres
ents yet. You will make u good many
littlu hearts glad touight, sir." And all
around hiiu was warmth und light and
music und n clattering of happy tongues,
and altogether such u joyous atmosphere
us he would not have believed could pos
sibly exist anywhere.

"Say, boss, give me a few pennies to
buy something to eat, will you:" sa-.d a
rugged urchin to a man hurrying,
through Mail street at C o'clock Christ
mas eve.
Now the one appealed to had just
been buying Christmas presents for a
s-core of siste-rs, cousins and aunts, to
say nothing about the numerous rattles,
dolis, etc., which he had liotight for the
members of his own immediate family,
and consequently he was feeling rather
poor.
"Can't d ) it, sonny," he sai l rather
gruffly, as he hurried on.
Tiie boy assumed a tone half sorrow
ful, with a touch of independence iu it,
and said to th" retreating figure:
"Boss, I hope you will have it Merry
Christinas."
The man stopped, turned around, dug
his hand into bis j ocket and handed the
urchin a quarter. Then he hurried on
again.
Ten minutes later the same urchin en
tered a hallway where half a dozen
etreet arabs were a-sembh-d.
"Hi, Jimmy:" he yelled as he entered,
