CHATTERIS LIVE’I‘T (In Canadian Home Journal) Number twenty-one Crow Lane was a. quaint little shop, and very difficult indeed to find, tor it was almost com- pletely hemmed-in by the neighboring tall buildings. To the left, as you gazed at it from across the street, was a big sombre-looking structure of gray stone; while on the opposite side a mammoth warehouse towered into the sky, pressing against the tiny store as though to squeeze it out ot existence. As for number twenty-one, nobody seemed able to recall how or when it first came to be there at all. It was as though the faded sign "Thomas Denny, Dealer in Second Hand Hooks," must have been displayed over the narrow window in Crow Lane ever since the beginning of Time, or at least very shortly afterwards. Never, in the memory of man, had the small establishment been repaint- ed, and its dingy anaemic exterior looked upon the scurrying world with a shy, furtive glance, as though wish- ing to creep away to some restful sphere. The small square panes in the low, old-fashioned window were, how- ever, always spotlessly clean, so that the attractive volumes grouped tempt- ingly behind the polished glass could peep out quite easily at the street above. NUMBER TWENTY-[WE (llllllll [ME To enter the shop, you had to descend three or tour steps and push open a thick oak door, and this pro- cedure invariably caused a merry tinkle to issue from the ancient bell over the entrance, as if it Were sing- ing, "Ah, hefe comes another cus- tomer. They always find their way through my doorway-x-all the people who know where there's a good book to be had." A And just inside, ready to welcome you as though you were his closest friend, would be old Tom Denny him- self, his short, rather thick-set figure slightly bowed, but his bright, kindly face beaming from behind gold-rim- med spectacles. With a royal gesture he would wave his hand towards the laden shelves, with the movement plainly giving you the freedom of this small kingdom. l 4' And oh, what a collection ot books awaited your inspection! All around, and piled up to the loyv ceiling too, books of every description. Not many rare editions, it is true, but all sorts ot unusual volumes, with quaint pic- tures and lettering. You suspected that some of them had been dozing comfortably on their shelves ever since Tom Denny first came lo num- ber twenty-one, and certainly that was the opinion of many who had known the cosy little bookshop tor years and years, but of course, to tell the truth, Tom had been a part of Crow Lane tor so long, that very few pretended to remember just when it was that he opened his second-hand store. If any person was aware of the precise date, he kept the fact discreet- ly to himself, for to reveal such knowledge could only prove ‘how an- cient was the rash individual who l, possessed such hoary information. There were times too, when some poor soul, attracted to the window by the temptingly displayed volumes opened at some particularly absorbing passage, would, after gazing enviously through the glass, venture timidly in- side and ask old Tom it he might see one ot the books, "just for a minute or so." Then. as he laid down the coveted treasure, Tom would beam at him ‘over the rim ot his spectacles. "Suppose you take that. book home with you, and enjoy , there," he would say. "Sometime, T hen you are passing by, you can bring it back again." Now and then he would press a volume into someone's hand with, “It's getting very old and lonely on these crowded shelves, my dear. It will please me very much if you will take it home-and love it." Then, suddenly, the, book you were holding would slip noisily to the floor, and instantly the merry little folk would scurry back inside the yellow pages, the covers fly to with a shap, and by the time you had opened your eyes, all the books were fast asleep on the shelves once more, just as though nothing had happened. And old Tom would loolt up from his corner by the tire-place and laugh heartily, the blue smoke from his old briar pipe curling lazily up to the ceiling. on the shelves above, and very often the covers would open of their own accord, and strange Lilliputian crea- tures come from out the dim past. Then they would scramble up the chair legs, to revel merrily on the smooth round tables. Sometimes, it you kept still, they would tell you of Wonderful adventures in' far-off lands, in Egypt, China, Italy and \Sunny Spain. You could sail the broad At- lantic in their company, or, in strange high-prowed ships like huge 'white gulls under their stretch ot canvas, visit bright-hued islands of the South- ern Seas, gliding imperceptibly from one small fairyland to another.

The best thing about the place was that you were never expected to' buy. As it happened, you nearly always did, for the bargains were far _ too tempting to resist, but Tom seemed just as delighted vif Yo1,2 spent an hour or so browsing among the treasures on the dust-covered shelves and then departed without making a purchase, as if you had ordered a, score of val- table books to be packed up and despatched home immediately. Sometimes, then, sitting by the blazing fire with a book resting idly In the rear of the shop were a cou- ple, of small tables, with soft inviting chairs drawn up close by, in which you could lounge and forget the mad rushing world outside as you followed the thrilling pages of some tale or bygone days, told in. the romantw Iangdage of yesterday. In the Winter, THE 1tltElS A1ir1) GUIDE, WESTON' its accustomed brightness, and Tom was, outwardly at least, as happy and optimistic as ever. Soon he discovered a genial Irishwoman with two small children, seeking a Comfortable-home, and instantly, the trio were installed in the lonely rooms upstairs. Old Tom had found a treasure. Mrs. Burke at once adopted him as her 'bwn, and she kept him mended, and scolded, and properly fed, just like the other members of her family. Then there followed a glorious period for the children. Night after night, When supper was over, they would run downstairs and climb up on Tom’s knee, 'H 'he dozed by the fire. And he would tell them the most wonderful stories, tales of wicked giants, and bold bad pirates; tales of chivalry too, in which courageous knights in splendid armour, rode gal- lantly to the rescue of the most beau- tiful princesses with long golden hair. One story in patWtculars--about a magic carpet-the children loved. All you had to do was to stand on the carpet, and just wish to be wherever you liked. Before you could get the words out of your mouth, or even think them---you were there. It was about this time, while he wats story-telling one evening, that Tom heard a doleful cry in the street above'. He hurried out and picked up a. frightened dog, a. tiny fox terrier puppy that had been knocked down by a passing truck. Fortunately, the injury proved to be slight, and as a matter of course, the delighted terrier was at once made one of the family. He became part of the establishment, wagging his absurd Stumpy tail when a customer rang the merry little bell, and then curling up again by Tom's chair preparatory to going oft to sleep once more. l As time went on, and Tom and Mrs. Burke, and the children, and the dog, and all Tom's customers grew steadily older, Tom's eyes aged gradually too. At a distance he could still see quite well, but he was unable to read wthh- out painful effort. Urged by Mrs. Burke, he at last paid a visit to,the, big Ophthalmic Hospital, but the doc- tors looked grave and shook their knowing heads. Altered glasses would make little difference, they said, and so they feared there was nothing they could do. So Tom read less, and little by little his days became filled with dreams. Perhaps, sometimes, as the weeks and months rolled by, he pie- tured Mrs. Tom hastening along Crow Lane, her arms full of sundry pur- chases from the corner grocery store, Perhaps-who can say-his mind wandered back to still earlier' days, when he and Mrs. Tom were quire, quite young, and long before she be- came Mrs. Tom. Perhaps he thought of the future, when he should have heard the jingle of the merry door- bell tor the last time. However that may be, it was very pleasant to dream’, very, pleasant indeed, and Tom was ‘happy. , At least, he thought, I shall ( always have my Cosy little shop-that l will be mine until I go. Old Tom was sitting there, staring into the tire, a happy smile op his face. The charred old briar pipe had fallen from his fingers and lay broken on the floor. Beside him, the dog crouched, a look of bewilderment in its big brown eyes. _ For a. minute Mrs. Burke bent silently over the. chair. Then she sank down on her knees. in the evening, when he was most likely to be alone, then, with the hate- ful letter in her hand, she reluctantly descended the creaking stair, and pushed open the door of the shop. There were no lights except for the fitful gleam of the dying tire, and it seemed unusually still even for this time of day. Mrs. Burke stood for a moment listening, and then, suddenly, she heard the low dismal whine of the little fox terrier. She stole over to the shabby chair near the grate. " won't have to tell him, after all, she said Simply. "Thank God!" The days sped on.' The' first of the month arrived, and Quickly the calen- our raged to the middle of November. On the fifteenth, Mrs. Burke made up her mind. There were only a couple of weeks left, and Mr. Tom must find somewhere to go. She waited till late To meet failure and obstacles on "every hand? To meet your enemies \fith love for hate, good for evil? , To move steadily towards your goal with a serene mind when you know that others ridicule and consider you a failure? . "Oh, is that all? Ah auction sale. I don't think I shall trouble to go. I can't see any too well, arid auctions are not what they used to be, Mrs. Burke." To remain in obscurity to support a parent, or a helpless sister and brother when you have the consciousness of the ability to do big things ? To bear the brdane which belongs another because you do not want bring pain to others? "Letter," said Mrs. Burke, "what letter? Oh, how stupid ot mel Sure, I. forgot. It'sr nothing at all at all. Just a notice of an auction sale of books somewheres," she lied pheerfully. To speak the truth when a lie would help you out of a difficulty? Scarcely knowing what she was do- ing, Mrs. Burke went slowly down- stairs. does it say?" To forego extravagance so that you may provide for the future welfare of She hurried upstairs and then col- lapsed on the nearest chair. Poor old Mr. Tom. A blow like this would kill him. to be forced out of his beloved shop-his home---it was unthinkable. Of course,' he could find another place, but at his age. It seemed aw- ful to think ot such a thing. Still, he would have to be told. ‘ "Just a. minute, Mr. Tom," she call- ed back. "Them pies is burning-sure, can't you smell 'em?" And' then one day w a letter came A letter in a long white envelope. He handed it to Mrs. Burke. "My eyes are not quite as good as they used to be, Mrs. Burke. Would you mind reading this to me?" Mrs. Burke opened the letter' and spread the single sheet out on the table before her. Suddenly her eyes caught the concluding lines: Her brain reeled. Instinctivey she realized that she must gain time. In a flash Mrs. Burke crumpled the dreadful letter in her hand, and ran to 'the ddor leading upstairs. "As the building is to be dehuolish-' ed, kindly note that you'will be Ile- quired to vacate the premises Cat twenty-one Crow Lane, on or before November 30th." Tom looked up HAVE YOU THE COURAGE?
