In IniKtt' lo tfi-l mvny-Mr. IliliK In Xctr
York mid Mr. Lake to his Mlctilgnn

draw on me when you want money.
and-thnt'B all."
I Hald I'd do my best and meant It
The circus outfit I hod nothing to do
with. 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. Hiii-h us he useii to
enjoy ut home In India. The camel
didn't really (! scrv" any Christmas,
but I bought a lml.V I dates for blin
l!VW!iy. .'- .f! '-'.-
I vt71felllng the stuff In on Satur
day nfternoon when .Inek came around
ugalii Willi a liiiiieb of good cigars for
my Christinas, and ll brought my heart
up lu my throat that the kind fellow
had thought of nie so. for.no one else
had since Lizzie died. 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. ' - ' ' "'
Cm nnluinls are never fed on Sun
days and us we lei all go shy of break
fast Monday the menagerie's appetite
fur a Cbrisunas, dinner al noon was
sure 10 be good. Before. 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. Bidwell and - bis daughter,
who staid until all tbe other visitors
were gone, talking with me about: the
nnlmnls and. ns I afterward remem
bered, a good deal more about myself.;
Near dark. 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
