Fenelon Falls Branch an arias ' By HARRY lR-VING GREENE Wallington had general- ly been conceded to be a. brand new genius in the financial worldâ€"a marvelous being who could change stenes into bread and serpents into fowl‘, then all at once >1 he found himself in the ' throes of bankruptcy. He had exhausted his resources and was for the time being hopelessly insolvent. Day by day his little handful of re- maining change vanished in steadily diminishing ratio as his meals beâ€" came cheaper and further apart, un- til finally he had but a, dime left. This coin he resolved to save for some last and most desperate extremity, and he even determined to fast for days be fore parting with it. And fast for days he did, while oft times the days came much too fast. . When Christmas eve came he had not tasted food for three days. He felt that he could endure it no longer, that the last and most desper- ate extremity had arrived and that now he must spend his dime. He was plunged deep in meditation when he felt someone touch his arm and turned about. . . Beside him there stood a gaunt man with ‘cavernous cheeks, feverish, wild- ish eyes, and a stomach that curved the wrong way. The apparition ad- ,dressed him in a creaking voice. "For God’s sake, stranger, buy me something to eat. I am penniless and 7upon the verge of committing crime. ll have worn out my shoes looking for lwork, and while I have a job promised :me it will be a. week before it is open. :And meanwhile I am starving, friend, ,starving. In the name of Christianity ;spare me enough for a meal out of lyour plenty." . l Wallington stared into the evening {dusk as he fingered his last and ,smoothly worn dime. He knew well l'enough what this other man was suf- ,ferlng, for bad he not been inj‘he .Where he had spent hundreds or aci- ,lars in his palmy days and whose pro- Vprletor he knew well. Yet he owed a bill there for his last big after theater (dinner party of many months ago, and ‘he had never had the courage even in {his semi-starvation to go in and ask for more credit. Yet now. it must. be ’done, for here was a human being,” :Btarving upon the streets. Wal- lington shuddered. It was plainly his "duty to fill this man's stomach, and for the last time he would exert those powers of persuasion which once ups. ,on a time few men had been able to ‘resist. He took the stranger by the “Come with me,” he commamh ‘e'd. : They entered the restaurant and TWallington walked straight up to the lproprietor. “Bob,” said he. “:1 owe ,you a pretty stiff bill, but I am going ,to go to work in a Week and then I \will begin paying you off. New I want fyou to do me a last favor. I owe you .about forty dollars, and a couple of .dollars more won't make much illiter- ience to you. It is Christmas eve and my friend over there is starving. Now ‘I want you to fill him up to the chin 'on good, solid food and charge it to me. I will not ask you for any favor ,again if you will do this last thing." The proprietor looked at his old pa? ,tron thoughtfully. ‘ ‘ “All right,” he .length. “Being’s its Christmas ever» ,I’ll take a chance on you even if you announced atl ;s.nd the stranger’sat down" together and Wellington watched his compan- ‘ion flll himself with good things until at last with his stomach again curved the right way, the droop gone from his shoulders and the feverish light van- ished from his eyes, the gorged one: arose. ‘ “My friend," said the stranger. .“1 could not have endured it another day â€"but of course you have never known what it is to go two days without food. And when tonight you go home and sit down to your table to your 'teast, remember that there is an out- cast fellow being upon the streets who is blessing every mouthful eat. Good-by, Christian." 1 Wellington held out his hand. “Good- by, stranger, and good luck to you. It was a mere trifle. Happy to have been able to give you a lift." Then he went up to Frenchy's hash house and had his dime’is worth of coffee and sausage. that you ‘ «-0 Books are becoming more popular «:2 ~ “ ‘.« . mum-3s. ‘.~.~ ;.
