He always knew where me ’ plump sister was. He wouldn’t catch anybody else. If you had fallen up against him (as some of them did> on purpose, he would have made a ■feint of endeavoring to seize you. which would have been an affront Vo your understanding, and would instantly have sidled off m the direction of the plump sister She Often cried out that it wasn't fair.

The Ghost was greatly pleased to find him in this mood, and looked upon him with such favor, that he , begged like a boy to be allowed to stay until the guests departed But this the Spirit said could not be j done. "Here is a new game," said Scrooge. "One half hour. Spirit, ! only one!" It was a game called Yes and No. where Scrooge’s nephew nad to think of something, and the rest must find out what; he only an- | swering co their questions yes or no. as the case was. The orLsk fire of questioning to which he was exposed. elicited from him that he was thinking of an animal, a live animak rather a disagreeable animal, a savage animal, an annual that growled and grunted sometimes, and talked sometimes, and lived in London, and walked about the streets, and wasn’t made a show of, ana wasn't 'ed by anybody, and didn’t live in a menagerie, and was never killed in a market, and was not a horse or an ass, or a cow. or a bull, or a tiger, or a dog. or a oig. ;or a cat. or a bear.

question that was put to him. this nephew burst into a fresh roar of laughter, and was so inexpressibly tickled that he was obliged to get up off the sofa and stamp. At last the plump sister, falling into a similar state, cried out: “I have found it out! I know what it is, Fred! I know what it is!” "It's your Uncle Scio-o-o-o-oge!" Which it certainly was. Admiration was the universal sentiment, though some objected that the reply to “Is it a bear?” ought to have been “Yes,” inasmuch as an answer in the negative was sufficient to have diverted their -thoughts from Mr Scrooge, supposing they had ever had any tendency that way. “He has given us plenty of merriment, I am sure," said Fred, "and it would be ungrateful not to drink his health. Here is a glass of mulled wine read; to our hand at the moment: and I say, ‘Uncle Scrooge!’” "Well! Uncle Scrooge!" they cried “A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the old man. whatever he is!” said Scrooge's nephew. “He wouldn’t take it from me, but may he have it, nevertheless. Uncle Scrooge!” Uncle Scrooge had imfierceptlbly ; become -j gay and light of heart that he would have pledged the unconscious company in return and thanked them in an inaudible speecii if the Ghost haa given him time.

I Br > ,ES DICKENS | ■ WK‘M m m But the whole scene pasxed ott in the breath of the last word spoken by his nephew; and he and the 1 Spirit were again upon their travels. Much tl» y saw. and far they went many homes they visited, but alwavs with a happy end The Spirit stood beside sick beds, and they were cheerful: on foreign lands, and they were close at home: by struggling I men. and they were patient tn their I greater hope by poverty, and it was rich. In almshouse hospital and jail, in misery's every refuge, where vain man in his little brief authority had not made fast the door and barred the Spirit out. he left his blessing, and taught Scrooge his pre- 1 cepts. It was a long night, if it were onl* a night; but Scrooge had his doubts of this, because the Christmas Holidays appeared to be condensed tntc the space of time they passed together It was strange, too that while Scrooge remained unaltered m his outward form, the Ghost grew older, clearly older. Scrooge had observed this change but never spoke oi it. until they left a children's Twelfth Night party, when, looking at the Spirit a:- they stood together in an open place, he noticed that his hair wa~ gray “Are spirits' lives so short?" asked Scrooge. “My life upon this globe is v ery brief." replied the Ghost. “It end» tonight" "Tonight!" cried Scrooge. “Tonight at midnight. Hark! The time is drawing near." The chimes were ringing the three quarters past eleven at that moment. “Forgive me if I am not justified in what I ask.” said Scrooge, lookins intently at the Spirit’s robe, “but 1 see something strange, and not belonging to yourself, protruding from your skirts. Is it a toot or a claw?" “It might be a claw. for the flesh there is upon it." was the Spirit's sorrowful rejily. "Look here.” From the foldings of its robe it brought two children, wretched, abject. frightful, hideous, miserable. They knelt down at his feet and clung upon the outside of its gar-' ment. “Oh, Man! Look here. Look look. , down here!" exclaimed the Ghost They were a boy and girl. Yellow, meager, ragged, scowling, wolfish;' but prostrate, too. in their humility. "Spirit, are they yours?” Scrooge could say no more. » “They are Man's," said the Spirit. looking down upon them. "And they,' cling to me. apoealing from their fathers This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware of them both.j and all of their degree, but most of! all beware this boy, for on his brow . I see that written which is Doom. unless the writing be erased. Deny) it!” cried the Spirit, stretching ou« . its hand toward the city. “Slander: those who tell it ye! Admit it for\ your factious purposes and make it 1 worse! And bide the end!” « “Have they no refuge or resource?" I cried Scrooge. “Are there no prisons?” said the Spirit on him for the last time with his own words. “Are there no work- . houses?" The bell struck 12. Scrooge looked about him for the . Ghost and saw it not. As the last . stroke ceased to vibrate, he remembered the prediction of old Jacob Marley and, lifting up his eyes, be- ; held a solemn Phantom, draped and ' ’ hooded, coming like a mist along I! the ground toward him.
