What had i done that I should have

With my heart warm from the reading

that i should have the power to stand
there and patronize the man by giving
him food, Rather. was it not my place
to say: Take everything you Ice. and
if you don't see what you want ask for
It. The dIfl'erence between you and
me is only a superflclal one. It is all
owing to the maladjustment of socie-
ty. It merely happens that you are the
victim instead of I.
Thinking thus. I heaped a plate with
cutables—brcad and meat and two
large picces of the pumpkin pic that i
bad Just baked. I had some stale cus-

He went to the wood-pile. Rather.
hc went towards it and passed by on
one side. The use and the wood mtarcd
up at him reproacbfully. but he never
dcigned to cast his eye upon them.
The are handle almost grazed his arm

Manfully resisting all these mute in

I watched my tramp till he passed

of a tramp which i had previously been

"What is a tramp? For a positive
