arguing old 'men seemed the same. Oh, but it was good to be home again, to spend Christinas w here he had been so happy as a boy! One of the men pointed a finger at him. ‘That.” he said, “is what this country is coming to. Able-bodied men roaming the country in rags and tat ters. Likely looking fellow, too. I tel', you, it's high time congress—” The vagabond chuckled and proceed .ed lightly down the road. Suddenly he checked himself. “George!” he said “there's old Aunt - Agatha's hpuse Why, Aunt Agatha was another moth er to every boy in town. I wonder*-? - lie sprang up on the porch am! knocked. . A sharp-faced woman opened the door. “Well !” she gasped ; “no, I ain't giving victuals to tramps what can’t come to tlie kitchen’.’' The door slammed,, but lie rapped again per sistently. Presently • the woman reappeared “I beg your pardon, ma’am. I'm look ihg for Miss Agatha Oberman. Do you know where I can rind her?” “She - ' been, dead and buried these eight years. You an did friend of hers?” “Yes, I’m Ben Martin—used’to live in-that house on the corner. I'm sure sorry she - gotie.' - He moved dew i the steps. “Thiink you anyway, ina'am. and a Merry Christmas.'’ A little of tile zest ha i gone out of Ben Ma • . ' return. He recognized the town drug st'ore. Jiist ahe.iul. but now It carried a new sign—“ Thump . j son's Pharmacy" - -and in smaller'let ters, "W. J. Thompson. I’xop".. lnsi<i< S! i *■-' 1 — “No, Thanks; Too Used to Freedom',’’. I He Said. — why. of course! “W. J. Thompson I'r. p.” was Bill! "Bill.'' he" called, “it’s me—Ben . Martin!” ' . - “Beil!” Their hands clasped. “How well you look! But what on earthlet me give you a Job.” “No, thanks ; too used to freedom “Jove; I’-enf you were a sickly kid ' how did you do it •" • “QJi, il’s careless sleep under the stark; going where adventure calls and doing what ci’hies; eating plain food and—. But what of you and the rest of the boys?" “Me? Oh, I'm married now and settled down. Tom's our doctor, but Is away for the holidays. Bert and Pug - have both married and moved away , and Fred Is studying in New York, l» say. I’d sure like you, out to Christmas dinner tomorrow, but, well. Martha's queer about .-Oine things." “That’s all right. I’ll mosey around to the old homestead. My dear eous ins still there?” ' Yes. Your uncle’s gone, I suppose you know, but otherwise the family is ■. the same as when the bJack ; sheep nephew took off on his own. You'll ’ surprise them,” “No doubt,” Ben Martin replied, and made his farewells. The bld- house on the corner was much the same, His knock brought a comely young woman to the door. “My dear Cousin Fanny." he said, “it's Ben. Give me a kiss.. roy dear, and announce to the family that the prodigal has returned." The ’family had evidently already learned of his nearness and gathered in the hall. “I was wondering.” he said at last, when the first greetings and questions had' beep exchanged, ’"whether you could put me up for a few days. I could, of course, sleep outside, if necessary.” “Unfortunately, Benjamin." ids aunt replied, “every room is taken, as the family is all home for the holidays. Besides, there is the question of whether or not a—a panderer —might have a proper effect on the younger members of the family, let alone tbe good name of us all. I think you'll understand—" “I do.” He drew himself up. “It was ■lmply the sentiment. . I felt I would ‘like to spend Christmas here. But I ■han't impose on you. Glad to hav§ seen you all again." He strode back up the road. “Hang sentiment,” he decided, “I’m going south.” That night’s express bore an extra passenger. While the family were all away at the basketball game Friday evening Mrs. Jane Kern heard someone trying to steal chickens at Jacob Kern’s place. She phoned Burton Howe, whose arrival frightened away the intruders. o FOR SALE—Campbell Electric Stove, 3 burner, over and fireless cooker, Mrs. C. R. Hollett.
