Indeed, the detalls of actuality in all this appeared to bring as great a de light to the man as to the child, Cer- tainly he built them up with Infinite care, On one opeohsion when Mr. Hunchberg and I happened to be call ing, Hamilton remarked with surprise that Simpledoria had come into the room without licking his hend as he usually did, and had crept under the table. Mr. Hunchberg volunteered the information (through Beasley) that upon his approach to the house he had seen Simpledoria chasing a cat. It wns then debated whether chastise ment was in order, but finally decided that Simpledoria’s surreptitious man- ner of entrance and his hiding under the table were sufficient indication that he well understood his baseness, und would never let it happen again. And so, Beasley having coaxed him out from under the table, the offender “sat up,” begged, and was forgiven, 1 could almost feel the splendid shaggy head under my hand when, In turn, 1 patted Simpledoria to show that thy reconeftiation was unanimous, om Autumn tralled the last leaves be- hind her fiving brown robes one night ; we woke to a skurry of snow next morning; and it was winter, town, tie sidewalks, the chants lines of poles, covered them with evergreen, and ran stream- ers of green overhead to encourage the Salvation Army San- along set festal shopping. the fixed display pink-faced r noses fmmovably For them, the time of bells and child tO aon corners, thei windows, the iren season of SeNSONS, times, was at hand, certain the the ts meant litle more » when It and that new reporter on stir and gayety of than that Qt ree had night in wis he was This Beasley's candi had given the nominating al assignments, ALE, SeCallse 14 BCy ernorst Hp ne n rest in in certain and thus strength than “Thi id Dowden. ineet was tO Cares far Beasle nore any othe r > fleld looking NER are “He's alw r the party; not Ing at 1 fa: than pedchun k ONEress gave af ove rybody in 8 hat, people niw \ I tell .

(“What are you surprised about?” inquired Dowden. “Don't you know what our folks are like, yet? If 8t. Paul lived In Wainwright, do you suppose he could run for con stable without some of his near neigh- bors getting out to try and down him?) The head and front (and backbone, too) of the opposition to Beasley was na closefisted, hard-knuckled, risen: from-the-soll sort of man, one named Simeon Peck. He possessed no in- ermsiderable influence, I heard; was a hard worker, and vigorously seconded by an energetic leutenant, a young man named Grist. These, and others they had been able to draw to thelr faction, were bitterly and eagerly op- posed to Beasley's nomination, and worked without ceasing to prevent it. I quote the invaluable Mr. Dowden again: “Grist’'s against us because he had a quarrel with a clerk in Beasley's office, and wanted Beasley to dis charge him, and Beasley wouldn't; Sim Peck's ngalnst us out of just plain wrongheadedness, and because he nev i or was for anything nor fer anybody in his Hife. 1 had a talk with the old mutton-head the other day; he sald our candidate ought to be a farmer, a ‘mun of the common people! and when 1 asked him where he'd find anybody more ‘a man of the common people’ than Beasley, he sald Beasley was ‘too much of a soclety man’ to sult him! The idea of Dave as a ‘society man’ was too much for me, and-I laughed in Sim Peck's face, but that didn't stop Sim Peck! ‘Jest look at the style he Hyves in,’ he yelped, ‘Ain't he fairly lapped in luxury? Look at that big house he lives in! Look at the way he goes around in that big car of his —find a nigger to drive him, half the time!” I had to holler again, and, of course, that made Sam twlee as mad us he started out to be; and he went off swearing he'd show me, before the enmpalgn was over. The only trouble he and Grist and that crowd could give us would be by finding out something against Dave, and they can’t do that because there Isn't anything to find out." I shared his conf ter score, guine on some others. There were only two newspapers of any political in- fluence in Walnwright, the Despatch and the Journal, both operated In the Interest of Beasley's party, and out” for bim, idence on this lat ench Sim Peck make: the Journ I knew, hi with Peck, Grist Altogether, bes 8, my thoughts were pled with holiday tion would cially, and Come thelr faction despised, Tha a gre OCC Beasley's chance than with the furs and SHOW, spirit fund hed little, bells of breat tow. so yiched over the me, that, when before ane wned and iad whe nim excl 48 With 1 tomorrow what was THOTT OW, Has, he “Alva nnd ust At * BOX oOorner going out anywhere?

It was not the rich who strug. gled through the storm tonight; these were people who carried their own bundles home, You saw then: and savers, tired mothers and fathers, worn with the grinding thrift of all the year, but now for this one night careless of how hard-saved the money, reckless of everything but the joy of Wving it to bring the children joy on the ong great tomorrow. So they bent their heads to the freezing wind, their arms laden with daring bundles and their hearts uplifted with the tremuls gus happiness of giving more than they could afford. Meanwhile, Mr. Simeon Peck, honest man, had chosen this season to work harm If he might to the gentlest of his fellow-men. I found Mr. Peck walting for me at his house. There were four other men with him, one of whom 1 recog. nized as Grist, a squat young man with slippery-looking black halr and a lambrequin mustache, They were donning their coats and hats in the hall when I arrived.
