Tbe old woman sat motionless, *tar,
ing with unseeing oyes at tlttt *lowly
dying Are. The :daylight faded grade•
ally from the"~ little aquare window,
and the twilight morgeSl into utter
darkness,- A sudden spurt of sparks
from the wipiring' lire threw a ghostly
light on her wrinkled face, lustreless
eyes and scanty wisps of snowy hair.
She was roused. from her stupor by
the rattle of the latchand the sound
of ,a sharp voice.
"Aria you there, granny,?"
The old woman started out of her
chair as she answered "Yes, yes, neigh
bor. Come in while I geto a light,"
She fµinbled along the high mantel
shelf until her hands touched a box
of matches. Lighting a candle, site
placed it on the tehree-legged table that
stood in the centre of the room, and
the feeble, fllakering light revealed a
Spare, hard -featured woman standing
JA the doorway.
"What! an' no fire?" she said, as she
advanced into the room. "Nights be
chilly yet, granny, if tike day be a bit
warmish: ' .
"I was thinkin'," quavered the old
woman, half apologetically, "an' the
fire went.out unbeknownst.",
"Yiu shouldn't think.." The othe. r
apb e sharply, in a high-pitched voice, ,
l'fere, I've brought you a bite of vic•
tuals, them's better nor thoughts." She
took from under her apron a covered
plate and placed it on the table,
My man didn't eat hearty to -night,
so. I had some over,"
"You're:: a very good neighbor, to
think of--"
"Ptah! 'Twould ba' gone to the pig,
an' he's very well as 'tis. Besides,
human bean's wants grub; I say, an" it
puzzles me, granny, how you rubs
along."
.L Ivry smile passed across the old,
old woman's face.
"That's what I was thinkin when I
let the fire go out. I can't rub along
much longer, an' that's a. fact. I've
got a matter o' ten shilluns, an' when
that's gone, there's the workus, I sup-
posO."
"We've all got that to look. forward
to, granny, and they won't eat you in
the house.
Mrs. Ibrd shuffled her feet,, and
looked everywhere except at the figure
of the old woman huddled up in the
rickety armchair,
"Have you heard anything o' that
son o'.yours, granny?" she said at
last, A smile stilled the twitching of
her tremulous lips and she looked up
eagerly,
. "I've heard nothin'. Nothin' since

neighbor. I'll be a happy old woman
-when my boy conies back" •
"Well, it's to be hoped he'll come
soon, granny," .
The man stepped out of the. public -
house, wiping his mouth with the back
of his hand, and -slowly shambled along
the shady side of the street, His
Jacket was buttoned up close to his
chin; and the frayed ends of the trou-
sers legs trailing the dust at every
. step almost hid the heelless shoes. He
halted irresolutely outside one of a
row of small. cottagts, and, after glanc-
.Ing furtively up .and down the deserted
road, raised the latch and,hesitatingly
entered the little room.
"Anybody in?'. he queried.
.The old woman, sitting in her ac,
e.ustomed chair, turned her head at
the sound of bis voice, peering with.
blinking eyes at'the, sunshine that
blazed in through the opera 'doorway.
"Whq Is it? `
"It's me, mother.. Don't yer know
me?"
She rose quickly, and stood, one.
hand, on the arm of iter, . chair, 'the
other shading her eyes from the glare
.of sunlight against which the man's.
figure made a black, ill-defined patch.
"Me, Jack, ,,yer .son. :Don't yer
know me lirepeated.

She ran . to him, and putting him by
the'. arm into the dimmer recesses pt
the room; forced him Into the chair
she had ,just vacated. ' • .
"An; you're come back at last!
.. She had pullers his frowzy cap oft
and was. stroking his head. "Oh, Johnl
I've wanted you. sore."
She was crying now, and the man
moved restively under her .caresses.
At length he put her awkwardly from
him and. growled: "You might give
us some .. grub, mother,. I'm nigh
starved."' .
She busied herself laying out the
meager contents of the larder; and
when all was ready,' the man moved
forward from the dim corner and
took his place at the table under the
little square window. 'lie. ate wolfish-
ly, his eyes fixed greedily on the food
before him, and the old woman as-
siduously,
lenished'u and plate as
they became
empty.. At the same time
She gradually realized' his unkempt
condition, 'but 'said nothing until he
had finished his:meal and thrown him=
self, with a grunt of satisfaction, back
Into the rickety armchair.
"I'm afraid, John," she queried, tim.
idly, "you've been seein' hard times?"
"You're, about right .there, mother,"
he. answered. "I've been on the road,
this last couple o' years. On tramp;
yer knows." .
"Poor boy." She patted his hand.
"Never mind,' you'll stay with ane now

"That's just what I can't do, and it's

"Oh, John! The perleece,"
The old woman commenced to
walk distractedly. up and down the
room.. .
"But they'll take you to prison," she
sobbed: The man laughed 'harshly,
"That's a fact 'less I can get away'
He hesitated a second and then con'
tinned, hurriedly, "Can't yer give us

Tbe old woman sat motionless, *tar,
ing with unseeing oyes at tlttt *lowly
dying Are. The :daylight faded grade•
ally from the"~ little aquare window,
and the twilight morgeSl into utter
darkness,- A sudden spurt of sparks
from the wipiring' lire threw a ghostly
light on her wrinkled face, lustreless
eyes and scanty wisps of snowy hair.
She was roused. from her stupor by
the rattle of the latchand the sound
of ,a sharp voice.
"Aria you there, granny,?"
The old woman started out of her
chair as she answered "Yes, yes, neigh
bor. Come in while I geto a light,"
She fµinbled along the high mantel
shelf until her hands touched a box
of matches. Lighting a candle, site
placed it on the tehree-legged table that
stood in the centre of the room, and
the feeble, fllakering light revealed a
Spare, hard -featured woman standing
JA the doorway.
"What! an' no fire?" she said, as she
advanced into the room. "Nights be
chilly yet, granny, if tike day be a bit
warmish: ' .
"I was thinkin'," quavered the old
woman, half apologetically, "an' the
fire went.out unbeknownst.",
"Yiu shouldn't think.." The othe. r
apb e sharply, in a high-pitched voice, ,
l'fere, I've brought you a bite of vic•
tuals, them's better nor thoughts." She
took from under her apron a covered
plate and placed it on the table,
My man didn't eat hearty to -night,
so. I had some over,"
"You're:: a very good neighbor, to
think of--"
"Ptah! 'Twould ba' gone to the pig,
an' he's very well as 'tis. Besides,
human bean's wants grub; I say, an" it
puzzles me, granny, how you rubs
along."
.L Ivry smile passed across the old,
old woman's face.
"That's what I was thinkin when I
let the fire go out. I can't rub along
much longer, an' that's a. fact. I've
got a matter o' ten shilluns, an' when
that's gone, there's the workus, I sup-
posO."
"We've all got that to look. forward
to, granny, and they won't eat you in
the house.
Mrs. Ibrd shuffled her feet,, and
looked everywhere except at the figure
of the old woman huddled up in the
rickety armchair,
"Have you heard anything o' that
son o'.yours, granny?" she said at
last, A smile stilled the twitching of
her tremulous lips and she looked up
eagerly,

neighbor. I'll be a happy old woman
-when my boy conies back" •
"Well, it's to be hoped he'll come
soon, granny," .
The man stepped out of the. public -
house, wiping his mouth with the back
of his hand, and -slowly shambled along
the shady side of the street, His
Jacket was buttoned up close to his
chin; and the frayed ends of the trou-
sers legs trailing the dust at every
. step almost hid the heelless shoes. He
halted irresolutely outside one of a
row of small. cottagts, and, after glanc-
.Ing furtively up .and down the deserted
road, raised the latch and,hesitatingly
entered the little room.
"Anybody in?'. he queried.
.The old woman, sitting in her ac,
e.ustomed chair, turned her head at
the sound of bis voice, peering with.
blinking eyes at'the, sunshine that
blazed in through the opera 'doorway.
"Whq Is it? `
"It's me, mother.. Don't yer know
me?"
She rose quickly, and stood, one.
hand, on the arm of iter, . chair, 'the
other shading her eyes from the glare
.of sunlight against which the man's.
figure made a black, ill-defined patch.
"Me, Jack, ,,yer .son. :Don't yer
know me lirepeated.

She ran . to him, and putting him by
the'. arm into the dimmer recesses pt
the room; forced him Into the chair
she had ,just vacated. ' • .
"An; you're come back at last!
.. She had pullers his frowzy cap oft
and was. stroking his head. "Oh, Johnl
I've wanted you. sore."
She was crying now, and the man
moved restively under her .caresses.
At length he put her awkwardly from
him and. growled: "You might give
us some .. grub, mother,. I'm nigh
starved."' .
She busied herself laying out the
meager contents of the larder; and
when all was ready,' the man moved
forward from the dim corner and
took his place at the table under the
little square window. 'lie. ate wolfish-
ly, his eyes fixed greedily on the food
before him, and the old woman as-
siduously,
lenished'u and plate as
they became
empty.. At the same time
She gradually realized' his unkempt
condition, 'but 'said nothing until he
had finished his:meal and thrown him=
self, with a grunt of satisfaction, back
Into the rickety armchair.
"I'm afraid, John," she queried, tim.
idly, "you've been seein' hard times?"
"You're, about right .there, mother,"
he. answered. "I've been on the road,
this last couple o' years. On tramp;
yer knows." .
"Poor boy." She patted his hand.
"Never mind,' you'll stay with ane now

"That's just what I can't do, and it's

"Oh, John! The perleece,"
The old woman commenced to
walk distractedly. up and down the
room.. .
"But they'll take you to prison," she
sobbed: The man laughed 'harshly,
"That's a fact 'less I can get away'
He hesitated a second and then con'
tinned, hurriedly, "Can't yer give us
some inoney, inother, so as I kin git
away from this part o' the country?"
"It's nil I've got, John -ten shilluns

light on her wrinkled face, lustreless
eyes and scanty wisps of snowy hair.
She was roused. from her stupor by
the rattle of the latchand the sound
of ,a sharp voice.
"Aria you there, granny,?"
The old woman started out of her
chair as she answered "Yes, yes, neigh
bor. Come in while I geto a light,"
She fµinbled along the high mantel
shelf until her hands touched a box
of matches. Lighting a candle, site
placed it on the tehree-legged table that
stood in the centre of the room, and
the feeble, fllakering light revealed a
Spare, hard -featured woman standing
JA the doorway.
"What! an' no fire?" she said, as she
advanced into the room. "Nights be
chilly yet, granny, if tike day be a bit
warmish: ' .
"I was thinkin'," quavered the old
woman, half apologetically, "an' the
fire went.out unbeknownst.",
"Yiu shouldn't think.." The othe. r
apb e sharply, in a high-pitched voice, ,
l'fere, I've brought you a bite of vic•
tuals, them's better nor thoughts." She
took from under her apron a covered
plate and placed it on the table,
My man didn't eat hearty to -night,
so. I had some over,"
"You're:: a very good neighbor, to
think of--"
"Ptah! 'Twould ba' gone to the pig,
an' he's very well as 'tis. Besides,
human bean's wants grub; I say, an" it
puzzles me, granny, how you rubs
along."
.L Ivry smile passed across the old,
old woman's face.
"That's what I was thinkin when I
let the fire go out. I can't rub along
much longer, an' that's a. fact. I've
got a matter o' ten shilluns, an' when
that's gone, there's the workus, I sup-
posO."
"We've all got that to look. forward
to, granny, and they won't eat you in
the house.
Mrs. Ibrd shuffled her feet,, and
looked everywhere except at the figure
of the old woman huddled up in the
rickety armchair,
"Have you heard anything o' that
son o'.yours, granny?" she said at
last, A smile stilled the twitching of
her tremulous lips and she looked up
eagerly,

-when my boy conies back" •
"Well, it's to be hoped he'll come
soon, granny," .
The man stepped out of the. public -
house, wiping his mouth with the back
of his hand, and -slowly shambled along
the shady side of the street, His
Jacket was buttoned up close to his
chin; and the frayed ends of the trou-
sers legs trailing the dust at every
. step almost hid the heelless shoes. He
halted irresolutely outside one of a
row of small. cottagts, and, after glanc-
.Ing furtively up .and down the deserted
road, raised the latch and,hesitatingly
entered the little room.
"Anybody in?'. he queried.
.The old woman, sitting in her ac,
e.ustomed chair, turned her head at
the sound of bis voice, peering with.
blinking eyes at'the, sunshine that
blazed in through the opera 'doorway.
"Whq Is it? `
"It's me, mother.. Don't yer know
me?"
She rose quickly, and stood, one.
hand, on the arm of iter, . chair, 'the
other shading her eyes from the glare
.of sunlight against which the man's.
figure made a black, ill-defined patch.
"Me, Jack, ,,yer .son. :Don't yer

"An; you're come back at last!
.. She had pullers his frowzy cap oft
and was. stroking his head. "Oh, Johnl
I've wanted you. sore."
She was crying now, and the man
moved restively under her .caresses.
At length he put her awkwardly from
him and. growled: "You might give
us some .. grub, mother,. I'm nigh
starved."' .
She busied herself laying out the
meager contents of the larder; and
when all was ready,' the man moved
forward from the dim corner and
took his place at the table under the
little square window. 'lie. ate wolfish-
ly, his eyes fixed greedily on the food
before him, and the old woman as-

She gradually realized' his unkempt
condition, 'but 'said nothing until he
had finished his:meal and thrown him=

Into the rickety armchair.
"I'm afraid, John," she queried, tim.
idly, "you've been seein' hard times?"
"You're, about right .there, mother,"
he. answered. "I've been on the road,
this last couple o' years. On tramp;

"Poor boy." She patted his hand.
"Never mind,' you'll stay with ane now

"Oh, John! The perleece,"
The old woman commenced to
walk distractedly. up and down the
room.. .
"But they'll take you to prison," she
sobbed: The man laughed 'harshly,
"That's a fact 'less I can get away'
He hesitated a second and then con'
tinned, hurriedly, "Can't yer give us
