A Winter's Tai,
A oold and oheerlesa night without,
A chwrl-il flr eelhl- ;
I he erulilttt ( tun U ul Vuvet Ii Ml
(Ad unpretentious Inn) '
Had gathered 'roand a floe tort lire,
Its orlmson hissing (flow
DlfTued itc light and bent inside
While outside fell the snow.
'Tie your Wrn Croppy' said old Tiro
As he lit his white olay pipe
"To tell a yarn or elng a song."
Croppy with his hand did wipa
His Lead by Way of prefooe, then N
Crossed his leg over knee
And thus hi story be began
All listened attentively.
'Fifty years Sjro" said he
I was then bat a lad ;
It was a dreadful atormy night.
The worst we'd ever had.
We were sitting as to-night
Beside a Are like this,
Father, mother, ancle Jack, y
Myself and slater Bis. I
... S. s '
We were listening to sea faring tales, .
Unele Jsok was telling, wheal
We beard tapping at the window peaey ,
"Who Is' that J" wag asked ; again. f
Three taps In qniok succession came.
Father opened the front door, . '.
A poor benighted stranger stood
Before ns on the floor. ,
He was bnt poorly clad, his feet
And hands from cold were namb
He pointed to his mo ith, we saw
That the poor mm was dnmb.
Mother gave hi no food and drink and, then
Bbe made a bed of hay
lu the corner of the room
And there the poor man lay.
We soon retired, a fervant prayer
To God my father said,
Uh help the on tracts and the poor
And give them their daily bread."
That night we very sonndly slept
Until the dawn of day.
When father 'woke he looked and saw
The stranger'd gone away. J"
The cronies all stopped smoking now,
Well, well, said husky Tim, .
"He wss a soonndrel and a thief
Bnt what became of himf"
"Croppy" shook his head, "Oh, no,
Bald he "My father found
A letter he had left to hi in
It was laying on the groand, '
What did it sayr" asked iddler Brown
"Be quiet" said red Phil
Go on" said'doaky Dan "relate" s .
"I will If you'll be still."
Then Croppy placed bis other leg , ,
Across his other knee. , ,
And read the letter word for word ''
Bead It from memory, J
I am the hooted bound they sought
O'er thirty years ago ; .
Twas I that killed yoong Ronald Blair,
I felled him with one blow
And left him on the bridge, then fled,
I did not meen to kill,
God knows I did not, we both loved
The same fair, Luoile.
I took hla lifeless band la mine
I wept and vowed to heaven, '
That for my sin I would atone
And prayed to be forgiven.
I made a rash vow aa I knelt
That a wanderer I'd roam
And my tongue would never apeak ageia
Since then 1 1 are been dumb.
"Croppy" paused a moment, then .-.
With faltering voice, he said : '
"Poor old loan he paid the prloe .
Next day he was fuund dead '
In Luolle's btrn a mile away."
"Well told" said Simon Bower.
The croniee parted tt was then
Nigh to the midnight hour.

"I remember once alttlng la the en
trance hall of the Palace, with a well
known racing man aad privileged Jok
er, known aa 'White Hat Macarthy.'
when a gorgeously appareled youug
Englishman, juat leaded trout a Japau
liner, walked up to the office le reg'a
ter, while bis private servant respect?
fully looked on. When they bad dis
appeared lu Inspect their apartments
Macarthy strolled up to the desk,
glanced at the register book, and
while tbe clerk's back was turned In
scribed something oa Its open page,
and waving ma a farewell left tbe ho
tel. "Curiosity impelled me to inspect
the volume, and this Is what I read:
Tbe Hoable Archibald Jaaaee fila
Alaa and valet,' while aaderaeata. It.
In my racing frlead'e somewhat
cramped and shaky handwriting, aav

Fro "My rteatltss tyfe," by H. De
Wlndt,
Jlmmle, take Bertie out and gat
her nompthlnjt to ent." commanded
the energetic Mr.H' .Mrs. Mat'Pherson.
"The poor child has own bo buoy
helping us that she didn't even have
ber lunch."
Sadie etared blankly Into Falk-
man e eyes, as Mrs. baale Mnci'ucr-
sou hurried away. Of course, Mrs.
MaPhereon could not be expected tc
know that their engagement had
been broken tue night before, but it
as decidedly embarrassing to be
placed In charge of a man who only
II hours since she had dismissed
with an Incoherent statement of the
fact that she never wished to see
him again.
"What Mrs. Mac says goes," re
minded Falkman, laughingly. "1
know that you'd rather not, but 1
never would dare look Mrs. Mac In
tbe fare agnln If I had disobeyed one
of her commands."
. "Tour devotion to Mrs. MarPher
son Is touching." was the girl's ear
castle reply. "Being more brave, J
wlH take upon myself the liberty ol
releasing you from the unsought
obligation."
. "Be warned In time," urged FalK-
Buti, "Shall we mere mortals seek
to overthrow tbe Imperial dictates ol
the kindly tittle Ia1y who so oblig
ingly runs this small world of ours
Remember the fate of Mrs. BlsselL
and be warned."
Sadie Arnold smiled In spite ol
herself. Mrs. Plssell's discomfiture
was so recent that all their set werd
still laughing over the defeat of thd
woman who had sought to wrest so
cial supremacy from Mrs. MacPher
son and who had been forced to beat
sn Inglorious retreat.
FRlkmen took advantage of the
smile to gently touch her arm and
guide her through tfce door Into the
room where a buffet lunch was be
ing served. Dubiously he regarded
the crueh around the tablos.
"I confess that my courage fail
me," he announced.
"And you a foo'lall ejtptain!"
said Sadie, "-ith a s.oinful smile.
"That's tittfeient," was the prompl
reply.
"And your feur of Mrs. Mac Is '
bean Sa'iie. Jlmmie held tip s
warning hend.
"My fear of Mrs. Mac 1s cs strong
as ever," he declared, "vhi'-h irnd3
me to the secon 1 nrt of this prop
osition. Mis. Mae did not fay to
feed you. 1 know a splendid tea
room only a couple of blocks away.
A cup of tea ami some toasted muf
fins will be better than the salad
that served for Mrs. Rldgeway's re
ception last night, and Mrs. Bon
sall's musical breakfast yesterday
afternoon. The same caterer I know
supplied oil three." .
"With tbe same salad?" asked
Sadie, with a leugh,
- "They make It by the ton," he
declared. "Let's slip out and have
a comforting cup of tea In peace."
For a moment Sadie wavered, but
Fslkman's suggestion won. All the
forenoon she hag asslste-i to prepare
for the opening of the bazar. Then
had come, the matinee rush, of pa
trons and for hours she had sufferel
the torment of a headache In a babel
of small talk and sharp bargaining.
Tbe quiet of the tearoom would be
very refreshing. Falkman read her
assent In her eyes and hurried her
away from the crowded room whore
men fought for the refreshments for
which they bad paid liberally In pur
chases at the booths.
"This Is nice," assented Sadie,
half an hour later, as her cup was
resplenlshed a second time and a
fresh eupply ot muffins was brought.
"I'm (lad you thought of It, Jlm
mle." The name had slipped out before
she realised H. In the relaxation ot
comfort and quiet she had forgotten
tor the moment tbe quarrel of the
night before.
Falkman wUely Ignored the slip
aa he nodded assent. He was be
yond his years in the ways of wo
man, and no gloating exclamation
added to her confusion.
"I am very grateful to Mrs. Mac
for turning me over to your thought
ful care," announced Sadie to reward
him for his action. "This Is so much
better than that tiresome crowd. My
bead Is better already."
"You had no lunch," he reminded.
"I'm always headachy when I'm
hungry. That and tht rest cure
combined will do the work. Have
some more of these preserves. "
At last, after all was over,
Sadie reluctantly rose from the ta
ble, he walked dov, n the avenue with
her, still conversing upon safe anj
Impersonal topics.
The soft spring air completed
Sadie's course and as she paused be:
fore the steps leading to her hone
she held out her haul.
"You have something of mire 1
gave you lust night," she saii. "Mai;
I have it, please?" -
With a look that spoke votunus.
he drew the rin? fiuiu hU pocKo:.
and pluced it on her lii.'KPT. 'i was
I brute last night." he sai.l softly.
"I'll try not to o n I aqi.in. d ar."
"I want you 'to be a brute souiO-
timeB," declared S?.Jie. with a little
lauph, "your penitence is su petfe'-t.
Will you take me buck .o the bazar
this eveulug?"
"And report to Mrs. Mac?" amend
ed Falkman. "Ulvse that woman."
Sadie's glance was a caress, as
she echoed hie words, and heki out
ber hand In farewell. Mrs. Mac had
given him ths chance, but Jlmmle
bad done the rest by doing nottung.
