"CHRISTMAS CAROL"
Next Week, "The Green Seal," by Charles E. Walk.
I CHAPTER IV.
The last of the Spirits
The Phantom slowly, gravely,
•ntly approached.
It was shrouded in a deep, black
tment, which concealed its head,
Race, Its form, and left nothing
fit visible save one outstreched

upon the recognition of each
other. AOter a short period of
blank astonishment, ln which the
old man with the pipe had joined
them, they all three burst into a
laugh.
"Let tlie charwoman alone to
be the first!" cried she who had
entered first. "Let the laundross
alone to he the Becond, and let
the undertaker's man alone to be
the third. Look here, old Joe,
bore's a chancel If we haven't
all three met here without mean
ing It!"
"You couldn't have met ln a
better place," said Old Joe, re
moving his pipe from his mouth.
"Come Into the parlor. You were
made free of it long ago, you
know; and the other two ant
strangers. We're all suitable to
our calling, we're well matched.
Come Into the parlor."
The woman who had already
spoken threw her bundle on tho
floor, and sat down on a stool,
looking with a bold defiance at
the other two.
"What odds, then? What odds,
Mrs. llilber?" said the woman.
"Every person has a right to take
care of themselves. He always
did."
WHAT WAS IT BARNUM SAID?
"That's true, Indeed!" said the
laundress. "No man more so."
"Why, tlien, don't stand staring
as If you war afraid, woman;
wlto's the wiser? We're not going
to pick holes ln each other's coats,
I suppose?"
"No, indeed!" said Mrs. Dllber
and the man together. "We should
hope not."
"Very well, then!" cried the|
woman. "That's enough. Who's
the worse for the loss of a few
things like these? Not a dead
man, I suppose?"
"No, Indeed," said Mrs. Dllber,
laughing.
"If lie wanted to keep "em after
ho was dead, a wicked old screw,"
pursued the woman, "why wasn't
lie natural in his lifetime? If he
had been, he'd have had somebody
to look after him when he was
struck with Death, Instead of ly
ing gasping out his last there,
alone by himself."
"It's the truest word that ever
was spoke," said Mrs. Dllber. "It's
a Judgment on him."
"I wish it was a little heavier
Judgment," replied the woman;
"and it should have been, you
may depend upon It, If I could
have laid my hands on anything
else. Open that bundle, Old Joe,
and let me know the value of It.
Speak out plain. I'm not afraid
for them to see It. We knew pret
ty well that we were helping our
selves, before we met here, I be
lieve. It's no sin. Open the bun
dle, Joe."
But the gallantry of her friends
would not allow of this; and the
man ln faded black, mounting the
breach first, produced hla plund
er. It was not extensive. A saal
or twb, a pencil-case, * pair of
sleeve buttons, and a brooch of
no great value, were all. They
were severally examined and ap
praised by Old Joe, who chalked
the sums he was disposed to give
for each, upon the wall, and add
ed them up Into a total when he
found there was nothing more to
come.
"That's your account," said
Joe, "and I wouldn't give another
sixpence. If I waa to be boiled for
not doing It. Who's next?" a
THE TACOMA TIMES.
Mrs. Dilber was noxt. Sheets
and towels, a little wearing ap
parel, two old-fashioned silver tea
spoons, a pair of sugar tongs, and
a few boots. Her account was
stated on the wall in the same
maimer.
"And now undo my bundle,
Joe," said the first woman.
Joe went down on his knees for
the greater convenience of open-
Ing it. and having unfastened a
great many knots, dragged out a
large and heavy roll of some dark
stuff.
"What do you call this?" said
Joe. "Bed curtains!"
"Ah?" returned the woman,
laughing and leaning forward on
her crossed arms. "Bed curtains!"
"You don't mean to Bay you
took 'em down, rings and all, with
hini lying there?" said Joe.
"Yes, 1 do," replied the woman.
"Why not?"
"You were Ivorn to make your
fortune," said Joe, "and you'll cer
tainly do It."
"I certainly shan't hold my
hand, when 1 can get anything ln
it by reaching it out, for the sake
of such a man as he was, I prom
ise you, Joe," returned the woman
coolly. "Don't drop that oil upon
the blankets, now!"
"His blankets?" asked Joe.
"Whoße else do you think " re
plied the woman. "He isn't likely
to take cold without 'em, 1 dare
Bay."
Scrooge listened to this dia
logue ln horror.
"Ila, ha!" laughed tha same
woman, when Old Joe, producing
a flannel bag with money In It,
told out their several gains on the
ground. "This ls the end of It,
you see! He frightened every
one away from him when he was
alive, to profit us when he was
dead! Ha, ha, ha!"
"Spirit," said Scrooge, shudder
ing from head to foot. "I see, II
see. The case of this unhappy
man might lie my own. My life
tends that way now. Merciful!
Heaven, what is this!"
He recoiled ln terror, for the
scene had changed, and now he
almost touched a bed, a bare, un
curtained bed, on which, beneath
a ragged sheet, there lay a some
thing, covered up, which, though
It was dumb, announced Itself ln
awful language. I
A pale light, rising In the outer
air, fell straight upon the bed,
and on It, plundered and bereft,
un watched, unwept, uncared for, J
was the body of this man.
"If there Is any person In the
town who foels emotion caused by
this man's death," said Scrooge,
quite agonized, "show that person
to me, Spirit, I beseech you!"
The l'hantom spread its dark
robe before him for a moment,
like a wing; and withdrawing It,
revealed a room by daylight,
where a mother and her children
were.
She was expecting someone, and
with anxious eagerness, for she
walked up and down the room,
started at every sound, looked out
from the window, glanced at the
clock.
At length the long-expected
knock was heard. She hurried to
the door, and met her husband, a
man whose face was careworn and
depressed, though ho was young.
Tliere was a remarkable expres
sion ln it now; a kind of serious
delight of which ho felt ashamed,
and which he struggled to repress.
He sat down to the dinner that
had been hoarding for him by the
fire, and and when she asked him
faintly what news he appeared em
barrassed how to answer.
"Is it good?" she said, "or
bad?"
"Bad," he answered.
"We are quite ruined?"
"No. There is hope yet, Caro
line." ,
"If he relents," she • said,
amazed, "there is! Nothing Is past
hope, If such a miracle has hap
pened."
"He ls past relenting," said her
husband. "He is dead."
Woman Can Handle Gur
This news picture shows Mrs.
A. S. Heinrlch, aviatress, handling
a Lewis machine gun ln an aero
plane. It Is this air-cooled gun,
the invention of Col. Lewis of the
United States army, that has been
the biggest single factor In the
European war, but has been re
jected by the United States ord
nance lioard, which has Just or
dered 4000 VlckeTf, water-cooled
guns, at i i rnf $ r,,500,000.
She was a mild and patient
creature, If her face spoke truth,
but she was thankful in her soul
to hear it, and she said so, with
clasped hands. She prayed for
giveness the next moment, and
was sorry, but the first was the
emotion of her heart.
"What the half-drunken woman
whom I told you of last night,
said to me, when I tried to see him
and obtain a week's delay, and
what I thought was a mere ex
cuse to avoid me, turns out to
have been quite true. He was not
only very ill, but dying, then."
"To whom will our debt be
transferred?"
"I don't know. But before that
time we shall be ready with the
money; and even though we were
not, It would be a bad fortune,
indeed, to find so merciless a
creditor in his successor. We
may sleep tonight with light
hearts, Caroline!"
Yes. Soften it as they would,
it waß a happier house for this
man's death! The only emotion
that the Ghost could show him,
caused ln the event, was one of
pleasure.
"Let me see some tenderness
connected with a death," said
Scrooge; "or that dark chamber,
Spirit, which we left just now will
be forever present to me."
The (ihost conducted him
through several streets familiar
to his feet; and as they went
along, Scrooge looked here and
there to find himself, but nowhere
was he to be seen. They entered
Poor Hob Cratchlt's house; the
dwelling he had visited before;
and found the mother and the
children seated round the fire.
Quiet. Very quiet. The noisy
little Cratchlts were as still as
statues in one corner, and sat
looking up at Peter, who had a
book before him. The mother
and her daughters were engaged
ln sewing. Hut surely they were
very quiet!
" 'And He took a child, and sent
him in the midst of them.* "
Where had Scrooge heard those
words? He had not dreamed
them. The boy must have road
them out, as**ne and the Spirit
crossed the threshold. Why did
he not go on?
The mother laid her work upon
the table, and put her hand up to
her face.
"The color hurts my eyes," she
said.
The color? Ah, poor Tiny Tim!
"They're better now again,"
said Cratchlts wife. "It makes
them weak by candle-light; and I
wouldn't show weak eyes to your
father when he comes home, for
the world. It must be near his
time."
"Past it, rather," Peter an
swered, shutting up his book.
"But I think he has walked a lit
tle slower than he used, these few
last evenings, mother."
They were very quiet again. At
last she said, and in a steady,
cheerful voice, that only faltered
once:
"I have known him walk with
Tiny Tim upon his shoulder, very
fast indeed."
"And so have I," cried Peter.
"Often."
"But he was very light to car
ry," she resumed, Intent upon her
work, "and his father loved him
so, that It was no trouble; no
trouble. And there is your fa
ther at the door!"
She hurried out to meet him;
and Boh came ln. His tea was
ready for him on the hob, and
they all tried who should help him
to it most.
Bob spoke pleasantly to all the
family. He looked at the work
upon the table, and praised the
Industry and speed of Mrs.
Cratehit and the girls. They
would be done long before Sun
day, he aald.
"Sunday! You went today, then,
Robert?" said his wife.
"Yes, my dear," returned Boh.
"I wish you could have gone. It
would have done you good to see
By Ahem
how green a place It ls. But you'll
Bee it often. 1 promised him that
1 would walk there on Sunday. My
little, little child!" cried Hob. "My
little child!"
He broke down all at once. He
couldn't help It. He left the room,
and went upstairs into the room:
above, which was lighted cheer
fully, and hung with Christmas.
There was a chair set close beside
the child, and tliere were signs of l
some one having been there, late-!
iy-
Po< r Bob sat down, and when 1
he had thought a little and ram
posed himself, he kissed the little
face. He was reconciled to what
had happened, and went down
again quite happy.
They drew about the fire, and
talked; the girls and mother j
working still. Boh told them of i
the extraordinary kindness of Mr.
Scrooge's nephew, whom he had'
scarcely seen but once, and who, I
meeting him in tbe street that I
day, and seeing that he looked a!
little—-"just a little down, you
know-," said Bob, Inquired what I
had happened to distress him.
"OB which," said Bob, "for he Is
the pleasaiitest-spoken gentleman;
you ever heard, I told hini, 'I ami
hearlily sorry for it, Mr. Cratehit,'!
he said, 'and heartily sorry for,
your good wife. If I can be of'
service to you in any way,' he!
said, giving me his card, "that's
where I live Pray come to me.'
Now, It wasn't," cried Hob, "for
the sake of anything he might be!
able to do for us, so much as forj
his kind way, that this was quite;
delightful. It really seemed as If!
he had known our Tiny Tim, and j
felt with us."
