He had exhausted hig resources' and' was for the time being hopelessly insolvent. Day by day his little handful of re­ maining, change vanished in steadily diminishing ratio as bfs meals be­ came cheaper and further apart, un­ til finally he had hut -a dime left. This coin he resolved to save for some last and most desperate extremity, and he even determined to fast for days he fore parting with. It. And fast for days he did, while oft times the days came much toe &st. , When,Christmas eve came he had not tasted food for three days, He felt .that he- cohld endure it ho longer, that the last’ and most desper­ ate extremity had arrived and that now he must spend his dime. He was plunged deep in meditation when he felt someone touch his arm and turned about. Beside him there stood a gaunt man with cavernous cheeks, feverish, wild­ ish eyesj and a stomach that curved the wrong way. The apparition ad­ dressed him in a croaking voice. "For,God's sake, stranger, buy me something to eat, 1 am penniless and upon the verge pf Committing crime, I have worn out my shoes looking for work, and while i have a job promised mo It will be a week before it is open. And meanwhile I am starving, friend,, starving, in the name o f Christianity spare, tae enough.fop'a meal out pf your, plenty.** '■* Wallington stared into the evening dusk as he fingered his last and. faring, for -had he not been in the same stage twenty-four houra beforei And to give a man a dime in such a case 'was so grossly inadequate. Yet what could he do? He turned about, .Close before him was a restaurant where he had spent hundreds of dol­ lars in his palmy days and whose pro­ prietor he knew well.- Yet he owed a bill there for his last big after theater dinner party Of many months ago, and he had never had the courage even In his aeml-atarVation to go in and -ask for more credit. Yet now it must he done, for here was a human being ■starving Upon the streets. Wal- lington shuddered. It Was plainly his duty to fill this man's stomach, and for the last time he would exert those powers of persuasion which once ufi- sa on a time few men had been able to resist. He .toolc the stranger by the arm. "Come with me," he command-- ed< They entered the restaurant and Wallington walked straight Up to the proprietor. "Bob," said he, " ‘I owo you a pretty stiff bill, but I am going to go to work In a week and then I will begin paying you off. Nov/1 want you to do me a Inst favor. I oWe you about forty dollars, and a couple of dollars more won't make much differ­ ence to you. It is Christmas eve and my friend over there Is starving. Now 1 want you to fill him up to the chin on good, solid food and charge it to me. 1 will not ask you for any favor again if you will do this last thing?* The proprietor look s\ at his old pa­ tron thoughtfully. "All right,” he announced^ at length. "Being's its Christmas eVo I’ll take a chaneo on you even if you nto down and out. Tell yotif friend to order what ho wants." So Wallington and the stranger sat down together and Wallington Watched his compan­ ion fill himself with good things until at last with his stomach again curved the right way, the droop gone from Ms shoulders and the feverish, light van­ ished from Ms eyes, the gorged one arose. “My friend," said the stranger, "I could not have endured it another day —but of course you have never known what it is to go two days without food. And when, tonight you go homo and sit down to your table to your feast, remember that there is an out­ cast follow being upon the streets who is blessing every mouthful that you eat; Good-by, Christian.” Wallington held out his hand. "Good- by, stranger, and good luck to you. it Was a mere trifle, Happy to have been able to give you a lift,” Then he went up to Frenchy’s hash house and bad his dime’s Worth of coffee and sausage. m it* m .
