them. They were searching for crumbs;
this deep snow had shortened their re
sources woefully; all their larders were
buried. There were no crarubs before
this door, but they searched assiduously,
with their feathers ruffled in the wind.
Stephen Forster came up the road wifh
his market basket; it was all he could
do to face the cold wind. His thin coat
was buttoned tight across his narrow
shoulders: his old tippet blew out. Ho
advanced with a kind of sidewise mo
tion, presenting his body like a wed-re to
the wind; ho could uot walk fairly
against it.
When he was opposite Nicholas the
sparrows flew up at his feet; he paused
and shifted his basket.
Good inornin, Mr. Gunn." said he in
a weak voice.
Nicholas nodded. Stephen's face was
mottled with purple; his nose and mouth
looked shrunken; his shoes were heavy
with snow.
"If you want to go in and set down a
few minutes you can." said Nicholas.
Stephen moved forward eagerly.
"Thank ye, Mr. Gunn; 1 am kinder
beat out, an I'd like to set a few miu
ntes," he said.
He went in and sat down. The wind
rushed in great gusts past the open door.
Stephen began to cough. Nicholas hesi
tated; his face was surly; then he shut
the door with a bang.
While Stephen rested himself in the
house Nicholas marched up nud down
before it like a sentinel. He did not
seem to see Stephen when he came out,
but he stood before him in his track.
'lm much obleeged, Mr. Gunn," said
be.
Nicholas nodded. Stephen hesitated
a minute: then he went on cp the road.
The snow blew up aroundhim ia a daz
sliug cloud and almost hid him from
sight.
"It's the last time i do it," mattered
Nicholas.
Bat it was not. Every morning, storm
or shine. Stephen Forster toiled painfully
over the road with his market basket.
and everv morning 2 icholas Gunn in
vited him into the fireless hermitage to
rest. A freezing hospitality, but ho of
fered it, tad Stephen accepted it with a
fervent gratitude.
It grew apparently more and more
necessary. Stephen crept more and
more feebly over the road; he hod to
keep setting his basket down. Nicholas
never asked him if he were ill; he never
tjuestioned him at all, although he knew
Dothing about him but his name. Nich
olas did cot know the named even of
many of th village people; he had never
offered nor invited confidences. Stephen i
aUo did not volnnteer any information
as to his circumstances during his morn
ing cilia npon Nicholas; indeed he was
too exhausted; he merely gave his gen
tle and tiniid thanks for the hospitality.
There cau-.e a night in January when
the cold reached the greatest intensity
of the season. The snow creaked under
foot; the air was full of sparkles: there
were noises like guns in the woods, for
the trees were almost freezing. The
Nicholas got a measure of meal out ot
his cupboard and prepared somo por
ridge in a little stewpan. Wheu it be
gun to boil he bent over the stove and
stirred carefully, lest it should lump.
When it was thick enough ho dished it,
calted it and carried it to Stephen.

"Eat it."
Stephen raised himself and drained the
bowl with convulsive gulps. Tears stood
in his eyes and ho gasped when he lay
Kick again. However, the warm por
ridge revived him. Presently he looked
at Nicholas, who was putting more wood
on the fire

I come with her; she thought there'd be
some chores 1 could do for my board.
An I've worked jest as hard as I could
an 1 ain't complained. I've been down
to the sU.ru to get the meat fur the
boarders' dinners when I could scarcely

go to the poorhouse. I heard her talkin
with tha hired girl about it. She's goiu

'What say?"
'I'm afraid I shan't got to the depot
before the train goes if I don't start
pretty soon."
Nicholas went on smoothing his beard.
At length he laid his comb down and
turned around.
Look a here!" said he; "yon might
jest as well understand it. Yon uiu't
a-goin to any depot today, an yuu ain't
a-goiu to any tram, an you am t n-goin
to any depot tomorrow uor to any train.
an you ain't a-goin tho next day, uor the

samo expression as tho helplessness of

were fixed upon Nicholas with blauk in

he put it on; he beat his cap against the
wall, then adjusted it carefully. "Now,"
6aid he, "I'm a-goin. I've left enough
wood in the stove, au I guess it'll keep
warm till 1 get back. 1 shan't be gone
any longer than I can help.
"Mr. Gnnn:"
"What say?"
"I ruther guess Td better be a-goln.

to fix it all right. I'm a-goiu tobringyou

shoulders hitched uneasily under the
coverlid. "You're a-goiu to lay still, ain't
yon?" repeated Nicholas.
"Yes, 1 will if yon say so." replied
Stephen. He sighed and smiled feebly.
The truth was that this poor cot in the
warm room seemed to him like a couch
under the balsam dropping cedar of Leb

the diviue consolation which comes
from leaning upon tho will of another.

Stephen chattered so that he conld

little shivering form, like a broadside ol j
icy spears. j
'Tm 'fraid I'm freezin," he gasped.

that Stephen made a run into the honse,

whirled him about and seated him on
his cot bed.

Stephen obeyed. Nicholas pulled off
his boots, gave his feet a fierce rub and
fixed the coverings over him with rongh
energy. Then he began putting the room

"I guess so."
Stephen's shivering seemed to shake

he dragged the cot bed with Stephen on

him under the bedclothes. His face was
