Christmas ads the next few weeks. The "house’’ consisted of one room. In the greatest disorder. At the far side a woman was lying motionless in a small Iron bed. Hallons knew at once she was dead. “Look here, Johnnie," he said, turn ing to the child, “you run out and get into the ear outside. Your mother is very sick.” Without a word the little fellow left and got into the machine. Halk>rs came out soon after and assured Johnnie that everything was all right, for that evening anyway. To himself, however, he was wondering what on earth he would do. He had the car stop at the undertaker’s and made ar rangements for the burial. He pur posed saying nothing to Johnnie about it until after Christmas, but then— what to do with Johnnie? He did not care to put him in a home. He dis liked Institutions of any kind. “Do you have any relatives, son?” he asked suddenly. "Any aunts or cousins or anything?” “No,” said Johnnie. “I have a grandmother In Ireland, but I’ve never seen her—why?” “Oh, I Just wondered,” he answered casually. They were in front of the big old Hallons house-now. “Gee, Is this where ya live, master?” asked Johnnie, amazed and excited to think he was actually going to visit in such a mansion. Hallons assured him it was his house. “Gee whiz!” was all Johnnie could say to express his admiration. Inside, Hallons had a chance to see his new friend in a better light He was extremely dirty and ragged. He had a sharp, intelligent little face with large, sparkling blue eyes. Hal lons liked him at once. He ordered a light supper to be prepared and sent Johnnie upstairs with a servant to have him «crabbed. ’Tut him in a pair of my old pajamas when he’s clean and send him down,” ordered Hallons. That night after the supper had been eaten Johnnie snuggled up near the logfire In the drawing room, a de lightful little figure almost lost in the spacious folds of his pajamas. His face shone with cleanliness. Old Hallons sat back in his comfort- ■ able, easy-cbalr watching the child. He was more pleased with the sight than with anything he had ever known before. “See here, Johnnie. "What would you like most to hare for Christmas?” Hallons naked Anally. Johnnie stretched himself ont on the comfortable pillow in the attitude of one about to think over a serious proposition. “Well,** he said at last, “I think Pd like a house like thio— Just like thia. I want this Ore and 9 this pillow, too." Hallons smiled. “Very good,” he said, “all 1*11 ask to that-you share It with me, but It is your home, little ■an, from thia time on.” Ì ♦ * By MARION R. RKAGAN Someone has advanced the opin ion that the letter “e” is the inosi unfortunate letter in the English alphabet, because it is always out of cash, forever in debt, never out of danger, and in hell all the time. For some reason, he overlooked the fortunes of the letter, so we’ll call his attention to the fact “e” is never in war and always in peace. It is the beginning of existence, the conmmencement of ease and the end of trouble. Without it there would be no meat, no life, and no heaven. It is the center of honesty makes love perfect, and without it there could be no editors, devils or news.
