The menagerie wus well boased WB BAD A LOT OF VIS1T0I18. ; In- a huge barn stvuy out on Western row. which seemed to have been built to tit IL A good big room was partl ilo.ued off for Die In one front corner. The cages were ranged along the side huIIr. with n runtvuy behind them, and In box stnlls across the fartber end were the scbrn. the elepbunt. the cam el and the socred cow. A monster rod lt.it store stood In the middle of tbe central splice, with a targe buneb light over It Altogether It was as warm, bright clean and cheery a place as you'd want lo see. ns everybody said wbo saw It, and we had a good many visitors. Cngt-d aolninls become restless If left alone, nod I never went out more than an hour or Iwo nl a time, but even at ' I ha I I took a good many long walks Tor exercise and to see the city, leaving bluck Sum iny helper-and the two en go cleaners for Ibe nutimils to look at Hut as I line mn nlong to near Christmas I seemed to lose heart for going out much. Something in the air made me feel myself, more than ever before, a hopelessly lonesome, homeless total stranger. Tlie stores were brighter and gayer lhnu,l hail ever uolleed rhelr uelng' before: the streets full of happy faced people currying bundles of Christmas presents; I he windows of homes adorn ed with evergreen festoons nnd Christ mas wrenlhs: the shopmen's wagons busy delivering good things for Chrlst mus dinners and Christmas trees. The I.ord knows I didn't begrudge anybody's happiness, but It all made me feel unutterably sad. lu all the world 1 knew of no one whose eyes would brlgliten or Hps smile a welcome for my coming.' As for sharing la tbe general Joy of the Christmas season. I might as well have been that ornary camel the meanest tllspositlotied beast, alive, to my thinking ns a nmu with a heiirt to feel his loneliness. ... Every oilier man had Mends, even poor old black Maui.. . r.:-!..'!" . .V And what made It harder to' bear wiis that home aud love belonged In my past and I could not forget them When I came buck to New York nfter n winter engagement with "Hentley's Aggregation" in the West Indies and South America. I found my deur wife I.lr.le linil been run down fly n Ilrnud way singe and killed. And what had become of my sweet -little baby girl .Iconic, only 4 years old, nobody could tell me. Tim I was a dozen years back, but uever since hnve 1 felt any less heartsick and lonely than when my grief was fresh, nnd in the winter slung it bout I'hrlstmns. I always feel it most. . ' The animals, ns I snt brooding by tbe stove, seemed to know I wiis In trou ble nnd feel sorry for me. They would stiiud still a lung time looking at me. nnd the elephant. I'm sure, tried to ask. by his little siiieiils, what was the mat ter Only that inenn enmel screwed up his nose si'ornfulllke. us If he didn't care a cuss who felt bad. which lie eer , tulnl.v didn't. i'l'ldny, uiurulng. the third duy bcrore t'bi'lsiuins, .Inek Henderson, a young reporter,, dropped In. as be often did, null happened to remark: "It seeiiis hard li be Imprisoned for life without ii n iicensltniiil happy dny to vary the monotony i'uged animals ought to nave holidays." . . . ..... That set me thinking after he was :one, mill I tuiide up my mind the men . igerle under my charge should,' for nice anyway, hnre u Christmas I can-'Iderj-U what every lilril ijiiit heast lu . Uiv lot ilkud best uud mostly nerer got and all those things I meant they should have on Christmas day. That .' afternoon I went out buying nnd laugh ed to myself when I thought I was ac tually purchasing Christmas, presents for a lot of folks wbo would he sure to appreciate them. I got for the birds all sorts of choice fruits, nice aeeds, ants' eggs, meal worms, and so on, according to tbelr several lastes, and for tbe monkeys more flue fruit, fig paste, candy and nut kernels. Tor the cat animals I engaged plenty of tender. Juicy, fresb beef Instead of tough old horse, tbelr ordinary diet. There "wasn't much to be done for the hay enters beyond on- accustomed , oats, .apples and , bran ninshes. but for the eicphunt I gat a basket of fine orange and bud baked a I it-t ol pally cutis.

He asked what the things were for, and I told blin. May tie I wild more than I meant to. for my heart was full at the time, and I hnd no Idea of bis pulling anything In the pniier about the menagerie's Christ mas. Bui lie' did. and really' wben 1 read ou Christmas morning the sory lie got up I' was surprised.

Hint-. lime mine we had a lot of visitors, qlce'peo pie who bad seen Jack's story, and among Hieiu were s Due white headed ohl gentleman who introduced himself n lir Illrain Hklwell. and bis adopted duughtcr-a splendid : looking girl. Luckily we were In good shape to re ceive lliein. Sam wore a new suit I had given him.. The cage cleaners were so washed and draped up they hardly, recognized each other and 1 was got up Willi us much style as a rlugtuuster myself. ' , Precisely at noon we sprung onr glad surprise on tbe animals. If you Imagine those birds aud beasts didn't notice any change In their bill of fare, you are wrong. You never saw sucb joyous excitement among feathers and fur. They Jabbered, chattered, shriek rd and roared their delight In all Ibeir various modes of speech: The raon keys seemed half crazy, and even the scilafe elephant danced. Sapped- bis ears like funs and squealed. Only that mcnn' cauiel was Indifferent and ute bis fancy, dates with a sneering twist of bis nose, as if be meant to say. "You can't soft sawder me." Tbe 'sight of the general happiness glnddrned everybody and none more than Ur.

Just wben I was thinking of going out to a restaurant for my dinner. Dr. Hidwell came back, and noi hills would do but I must go Willi him to get ii glass of eggnog. We were not gune uiore.iban half an hour, br.l by liie time we returned a transformation hnd been worked lu my room. In the center a big table was set with dinner for four tbe best dinner I ever saw, with a whole tur key, bottles of wine nnd all sorts of nice! things and when V raised jny eyes from It they took lu a "Merry Christmas.
