and he lingered fora moment to feast
upon the sight that, to him, are m d
beyond comparison. He put his chubby
flats to his mouth and tried to warm
them by blowing his breath upon them.
while he kicked his tors against the
stone coping to restore the blood to
circulation. While he stood gazing into
:tln- windows a well-dressed boy came
' along and run up to the window to look
at the pretty things.
"Gm whiz, but those are bully" said
the urchin.
“Yes, but I have most of those toys at
home, and I expect a lot more Christ-
mas" said the other boy.
”Golly, but yonse folks must have
chunks of money to burn. while me and
ma go to bed hungry,” and a tear dim
mod the little fellow-’5 eye.
The remark struck home with the
better dressed lad, and he responded:
“Are you really poor and hungry?”
"Yes. indeed we are. ain’t had no snr~
per tonight."
It was then that‘sympathefic tears
glistencd in the eyes of the wellrlresscd
youngster, and turning to the rugged
urchin, he said:
