There, standing at the window, at the | very spot he had just vacated, was his duplicate. It was not that the person at whom Bert gazed resembled him in face, for, 1 It Was Filled With Both Solids and Dainties. the former was younger and more lightly built. The similitude was present in the like shivering form, overcoatless and shriaking from the cold, in the ravenous eyes fixed upon the tempting edibles displayed to view beyond the glittering window frame. He was a counterpart of Bert in all this. He visibly stood for penniless, suffering, mayhap desperate human- ity. As by a magnet Bert was drawn to- wards him. As though the forlorn | wayfarer was of the closest kin, he | could not resist the compelling influ- | ence of interest, sympathy, aye, poor, as he was, sympathy and help! Bert icams to his side. The other looked him over keenly. Then he recognized ' & fellow unlucky one. “Looks tempting, doesn’t {t?” he | challenged quite cheerily. “If there should be a fire now!"” and he laughed | whimsically—"or it we had a brick!” | “No need of that,” retorted Bert in: like affected reckless vein. “See here,” | and he shook the paper bag in his | hand. “If we had a warm spot some- where we could divide.” i { “I can fix that,” declared the other with hungry alacrity, and he led the | way down the street and through a by | lane to the warm room of a big factory. The air was warm from the proximity | of the great furnaces. There was a bench and no one denied them the | shelter and warmth. Bert's new acquaintance devoured | more than half of the rolls with an | avidity that indicated long previous | fasting. Then he rolled two cigarettes made up of the scrapings of his pock- | ets and the twain indulged in a com- | fortable smoke. | At a glance Bert discerned that %is ! companion was a young fellow of good breeding and education. He said his' name was Henry Newton, but was not inclined to go into his past history. “I'm a derelict, stranded just now, like yourself,” he observed, but hoi listened with interest to Bert's story. “You're better off than I am,” he re- marked drearily. “You've got a mother and sister. I've nothing human of kin or interested in me except a miserly old grandfather, who cast me adrift “The last dime,” he said slowly, seri- days. A hundred and fifty miles.

His eyes afire with some fresh and | inspiring idea, Newton proceeded to urge Bert along with him. When they | regained the principal business street of the town he led him into its largest department store. “See here!" expostulated the bewil- dered Bert, “what are you ever up to?” “You just keep with me. I've a great scheme,” was the enigmatical reply, and then, passtng a counter, to the surprise of Bert his conrpanion picked up a small bolt of lace and stuck it Newton rapidly, but the dumfounded Bert was too surprised to obey, so Newton grabbed him, shouting, “Let me go, I say!" and a floor manager rushed up to the spot. “What's the trouble here?” he de- manded, and then, as if by accident, Newton dropped the from under his coat. eh?” “I suppose I'm caught,” observed Newton with a careless sigh. “This honest fellow grabbed me. 1 suppose he is ten dollars al.-ad,” and Newton pointed to a sign reading, “Ten dollars stolen bundle “Ah, a thief! \ reward will be paid for the detection | under his coat. “Grab me!

He tried to find out where they had taken Newton, but could not. His thoughts turned to home. In an hour he was speeding on his way thither. Good news awaited him. A brother of his mother, at variance with her for years, had relented in his harshness at learning of her sickness and pov- erty. This fact and the return of her son caused Mrs. Noble to rally. Within a week his uncle had started Bert in a modest little business. His time was taken up for a month to the “Bert,” spoke his sister Eva one day, “I cannot forget that kind Mr. Newton who did so much for you.” “Nor I, either,” said Bert. g0 at once in quest of him.” Bert arrived at the town where he had left him, to learn that some rela- tive had come after Newton, had set- tled the alleged theft and had taken Newton away with him. One day, as Bert and Eva were in their little store, in walked a visitor. “Newton!” cried Bert in extravagant delight. It was his old friend, but neatly dressed and showing signs of sure prosperity. *No, that never was my real name,” dissented Newton. “What, then?" “Newman—and that exactly ex- presses it; new-man, see? And this {8 the dear sister you told me about?” A dear brother Newman became to Bert soon thereafter. The wanderer had been taken back by his grand- father, life was all before him, bright, earnest, hopeful, and he asked Eva to share it with him. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G.

The “country jake” of yesterday owns a farm today of several hundred acres, lives in a palatial home with all modern conveniences, such as steam heat, bathroom, improved lighting sys- tem, telephone, automobile, etc., re- marks the Evansville Courier. His mail {8 delivered to his door every day. He reads the daily newspapers, the magazines, and the best books adorn his library. Surely he doesn’t converse on current events as though he were a “country jake”—not by a good deal, And tc see him running an automobile on Sunday with his family as passengers he doesn’t appear like a “country jake,” nor does any member of his family. The rising generation of farmers’ sons and daughters are ! farther removed from being called “country jakes” than were their fa- thers and mothers years ago. We say times change. And time does change. It changes the farm as well as the city. Evolution works miracles on the farm as well as in the city. Calls English Coinage Clumsy.
