HOW A LITTLE EI KITE FOUND PIMBOS pi sen's HE ALT. Another day was done. It was mute ly proclaimed by the steady tide of stal wart pede&triaas who harried along to their homes, anxious to lay aside buai ne83 cares for a steaming supper and the evetiiug'a relaxations. It was pathetic ally told by tfrocps of beggcr children, ho, on their lairginj: course toward cold fiiTbidcs and empty larders, drifted from one brilliantly-lighted thop window to another, pointing with lean fingers (like the hnnsrry IUraieoiJe in the Arabian Ult) to one oo& thing and another, and crying shriiiy : "That's mine: Oh, and that! And I will have this, too!" A fine snow was beginning tosift down and a keen wintry wind springing np, scattered the half clad beggar children Uh a single blaet of ita icy breath. It lashed them onward with whips made ol their own tattered garments ; it drove the fchivericg, frozen snow flakes sharply egjicst abutter and window pane it uruttkd down the s reet in a whirl of auow that blinded every living thing within its path ; and now, all at once, it warn gone! But take heed ! It ii iu hid ing rcund the corner of yonder substan tial mansion, to pounce oat and fairly cut down the unwary passer-by. Within the mkCfeicn, Simeon Pinch, lord acd owner, rose from bieefsy-chairand pitt ed cut into the gathering darkness be fore drawing the .heavy curtains. He stopped ta scowl at a pklare that ebone forth from a bouse across the way. Roy, laughing children that greeted their fa ther's arrival with showers of kisses and shouts of welcome, dragged the helpless victim into their merry game and ma rauded his pockuts for forfeit. Pimeon Pinch gzed, and as he gazed Lis scow! grew deeper and blacker. "Fools!" he muttered. "Bah! I'm glad I've no relations ; no, not one ! Ccusin nor wife, nor chick nor child, to w orry my life and rob me of my hard earned gains!'' He dropped the hangings with a I'riin satisfaction, and returning to his chair, he stirred np the open fire vigor ously. Just then the ponderous door swung slowly open only far enough to admits very small body indeed and Simeon Pinch's angel entered. She bad very wide open bine eye9, fleecy white hood tied down over her golden curia, and her white coat was buttoned down to her ankles. Simeon Pinch rubbc-d his eye. and looked again. Yes, the fairy, the vision whatever it wiis had not melted away. She stood there regarding him in the most serious manner, and finally asked in a sweet, clear voice : " Arc yon Mr. Pinch V Mr. Pinch managed to nod his bead in absent, but as yet he was speech It ss. " Then I am very glad to see you, Mr. Pinch," went on the sprite, " and I've come to live with yon." " Who ars you T croaked Simeon Pic eh, at last, " I'm Midget Midget Brown. But I suppose now my name will be Midget Pinch. Pinch Pinch Midget Pinch It do?sn't sound real good, but I'll get used to it, I guess." She nodded gay ly at the beetle-browed old man sitting bolt upright in bis chair, and went on, in the most amiable man ner : " Yes, I've come to live with you be cause you are" all alone, and because you hare lots of money and I haven't very much, and I'm always needing so many things. My mamma says you're dreadful rich, and it's a shame you won't help anybody Ln need, and you can't Uke il with you when you die. And papa says your same is pinch a-purpose because yon pincb everyone. But I thought you couldn't know bow much I needed some things, so I thought I'd come and stay with you if you would buy them for me." Simeon Pinch was beginning to wake up. His face bad not looked so ruddy EST-AJ3LISUED 1827. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 11, 1893. before in a long time, and his eyes gleam ed alertly beneath their deep, shaggy brows, So your pa says I'm a pincher, doe be, and your ma says I'm a mirer, much obliged, I'm sure." There was a long pause, during which this incongruous couple sat and curious ly regarded each other. Then the small, conscienceless tormentor went on, in tho friendlieet manner : " You see, Mr. Pinch, my papa hasn't very tum h u.obey. He needs a new over coat this winter, and mamma needs a new sacquc, but they can't have them just because there are so many of us al ways wanting things There's Ted. He's at college, and that costs a terrible lot. And there's Nannie. She's going to get married as soon as she gets dresm enough, but they keep wearing out, and she cio'l get any Bared. I guess you know my sister Nannie, don't you T She's the pretty one, wilh black eyes and dark curls. She calls you "Old Money bigs !" Was it the firelight which cast a glow on Simeon Pinch's a itbered cheek T Perhaps so, for be acquiesced quietly, and the email voice went on : "And then there's me, and Ben. and Rjb. We wear out an awful lot of shoes." , (Here a diminutive' pair were thrust dbjcoMoiately out in corroboration.) "It made me feel axful bad about my papa's overcoat, and the lota of other thing?, too, and I thought : ''111 go and live with Mr. Pinch. He's rich and can buy uie shoes and things without mining it. And I'm sure he'd like to have m." Mr. 1'ir.ch swung one lean leg oiF the other and leaned back in bis chair. His hands relaxed their bold on the amis His shaggy brows lifted a little and the wrinkles about the eyes grew deeper and deeper. His mouth twitched once, twice, and then this grim old man bunt out into the longest, loudest, heartiest peal of laughter that ever startled the echoes in the dull old room. Again and again, as he glanced at this funny apparition, he laughed long and louJas he had not laughed since he was a boy. Medicine bad not done him so much good in ten years. And still the angel sat perched high in her chair, gazing at him with the same ca'.ra, unrul.'led look. At last Simeon Pinch brought himself to order. lie drew a small book and pen- cil from bis pocket and resumed the sub ject. " So you've come to live with me on condition I buy jou ome thing'. Well, but what things are they first? Let's hear." "A new overcoat aud a pipe with a picture of a lady oa it," ejcu!ated the an?el, promptly. " What I" said Mr. Pinch. "You don't smoke?" Of course nrt!vsai.A Miss Midget, with some apperity. "That's for papa, you know." ' Ob !" sii l Mr. riarh, " I didn't know." The fierce eyebrows elevated them selves slightly, but the items were jotted down without further comment. " And-" "A sacqua for my mamma. A seal skin would be about the beet for her, I think." Agtiu the pencil gravely glided over the paper. " And Nannie, a blue silk dress and a atch." " For Ted, a lot of books. lie likes books. And Ben would like a bicycle, and Pobby t wants a new express wagon." " You haven't said what yoa want ed for yourself," he reminded Ler, qui etly. " O'j, haven't I ?" with much uncon cern. " ell, I don t believe I just know. I'll think about It and tell you to-morrow. I think I mj-tt be going horns now Mr. Piuch. I forgot to tell mamma about it. an I she'll bo worried. " '11 come to-morrow to stav." There was a moisture in the blue eyes and a homesick tremble in the pretty baby lips that warned Mr. Pinch to make no remonstrance. Sj ho simply touched his bell and instructed his man James (the rotundity of whose eyes expresxed at once surprise, alarm, incredulity, sus picion and humor) to take Miss Midget to her on borne " J. T. Brown, on the next corner, Jame?, I think," met with a stoical and discreet " Yce, eir." Long after Simeon Picch had tied the furry Lood down over the curls and ex perienced the curious sensation of a good night kiss, be sat before the embers of his fire with shadowed face, and ponder ed. Then he rose, drew on his greatcoat acd went out and on such a night, too! He face I the cutting blast with an ex hilarated glow on his sallow cheek and a new warmth in bis heart. He bought b:gs asd bags of flour for city poor ; tur keys, roasts and oysters for each of the twenty-four fuxilies who had known him heretofore but to tremble at his footstep on rent day. Then Jirm3 needed a new overcoat his was looking shabby ; and while he was about it he would buy Nan cy a new gown, by way of encourage ment. She had been faithful these many years. To be sure, when he choiajt, he term ed it red, and the wily (hop-keeper lift ed it down and pronounced it the very latest shade, and so it was of blue. But what difference? It was a higb-prieed fabric, and " a rose under any other name would smell as sweet." Yet, among all these purchases (the lavish recklessness of which niede the merchant stare, for they had long known him as " Old Pinch ") there was not one of the specific wants jotted down in a cer tain little book that nestled, even now, gainst his heart, and had helped to crack the hard old shell that bad so long enveloped that organ. It looked as if Miss Midget was to be forgotten. But when he reached home be said to James who sat in the kali awaiting bis return, in a decidedly speculative turn of mind : " I think it is not too late to take a note to Mr. Mr. Brjwn. Wait one mc ment," He went into the big, lonesome room, fat down at a table and filled out a chick to the order of Miss Midget Brown for oue thousand dollars. Then he pulled sheet of paper toward him and penned the following : To Mr. and Jin.

Oa returning from an early stroll one morning I noticed that one of the pert and pretty chambermaids was, as usual, turning things tops-turvy with a locg bandied duster, and she asked if I was from Kansas City. Being told jes she became a bit conlidentiai, and, pointing to the adjoining apartments, which were the scene of the affair, proceeded to nar rate the New York end of a thrillinly tragic tale in which Kansas City was closely interwoven, but no names shall be mentioned. Several years sga the noodle headed son of a then popular preacher of Kaasas City (now iu New York) was attending Columbia College in New York City, and was aflianced to the beautiful adopted daughter of one oftbe richest, most re spected and prominent families in Kan sas City. lie, however, became hope lessly infatuated with a New York wo man, and so tangled did he become in her toils that he was apparently enable to break through the wicked web ia which he was enmeshed, and so he mar ried her a week before the date set for the Kansas City w edding.

One of the prettiest incidents in the closimf days of our civil war occurred when the troops "marched home again," passing in grand form, if with well-worn uniforms and tattered bunting, before the White House. Naturally an im mense crowd had aseemhled on the ttreets, the lawns, porches, balconies and windows, even tbone of the executive mansion itself being crowded to excess. A centnl figure was that of the Presi dent, Abraham Lincoln, who, with bar ed head, unfurled and waved our nation's flag in the midst of iusty cheers. But suddenly there was aa unexpected sight. A small boy leaned forward and sent streaming to the air the banner of the boys ia gray. It was an oi l flog which had bt-ea captured from the Confeder ates, and which the urchin, the Presi dent's second son, Tad, bad obtained po ssession of, and considered it an addi tional token of triumph to unfurl on this all-iinpoTtnnt day. Vainly did the ser vant who had followed hitn to the win dow plead with him to desist. No. Mas ter Tad, the pet of the White House, was not to be prevented from adding to the loyal demonstration of the hour. To his surprise, however, the crowd viewed it differently. Hid it floated from any other window in the capital that day no doubt it would have been the target of contempt and abuse ; but when the President, understanding what hud happened, turned, with a smile on his grand plain face, and showed his ap proval by gesture and expression, cheer after cheer rent the air. It w as, surely enough, the expression of pouce and good will, which, of all our commanders, none wad better pleased to promote than the commander in-chief. Ta l, as he wo3 called at hntne, was his father's idol and constant companion, Scarcely a day but he could b-3 seen trudging along the country roads near their summer home or ia the city itself, his small figure ia comical contrast with the rrtsi dent's tall lank f jrai. In these walks they had chats w hich were to the boy as precious memories. Ilia early death was a calamity, fjr on his return from Europe he promised everything fine, manly and noble his father had hoped for. A characteristic incident, which he himself related to the writer, occurred a day or tWM after his entering, temporari ly a foreign schooL A rather snobbish young gentleman of rank, not knowing who young Lincoln was, inquired, as boys will of each other, who his father was. Tail, with the slow, reflective smile which was his sole point cf resem biunce to his father, answered : , "A wood-chopper." Oh, indeed !" was the rather sneering answer. And for a day or two the high born !aJ turned the cold shoulder to the "new bry." Judge of his feelings when, very soon, the American lad's prestige being known to all the school, he found that he had made hiuioclf ridiculous.

When the Confederates made their raid on the town they took us by surprise. I was in bed, and was awakened by a discbarge of gnnx. I got up and dressed and in the early morn ing light saw our boys coming into town from the outposts. I noticed one poor fellow, badly wounded, hobbling along the road, and took him. I carried him np etiiirs, put him in my bed and gave the best attention I could to Lis wounds. While I was engaged in this work my host called down etaiis, sajitg: 'You are wanted.' I knew cot what was meant. I went down and met a Confed erate c lUcer, who demanded that I sur render. 1 did so, and explained that 1 had a wounded Qua in the home who commanded my Attention. The officer very courteously paroted n:e on the spot. It seems, however, that the red haired little rebel was provoked because I had trought the wounded Yankee into the house, and she was determined to make trouble for me. She told some other Confederate oilicer that I was ther, and he very promptly took me prisoner. He cauie at me with drawn saord and said : 'Surrender, sir " 'I have surrendered,' said I. I again explained and was parol ed and returned to my patient. This surrender business was repeated until six different Confederates bad taken n. e prisoner. My sixth captor was a pri vate, a boy about eighteen years old, and be rushed into the bouse with bis mus ket leveled, and seemed determined to shoot I have always had a suspicion that the girl put him up to it. I tried to explain that I hf.d already been pan led five times, but it was bard work to get him to lUten to anything.

He does not consider her worthy of a name but call her No. 1, 2 or 3, as the case may be. He ignores her entirely in telling the num ber of hi children, counting only the boys. He considers her as without mind or soul and denies her the advantages of education which her brother receives.
