wanted t’ return good fer good.

{ Would Larse, who had a consider-

able sum in th’ savings, be con-
tint wid a mortgage on th’ little
home—all signed an’ attisted by
th’ good wife—an’ loan him
enough cash ct’ return th’ money
t’ th’ good man? .

“Larse, lookin’ loike a shape-
killin’ dog, shakes his head.

** “Ay can't,’sez he. ‘Ay bane
bust!’

“Tim levels his eyes on his
helper an’ his faeé burns rid,

‘Kane ut, thin!’ sez he, risin’,
an, there was a ring in Tim’s
voice that Larse had niver heard
before. Sensin’ the change,
Larse stands there swallowin’
loike a thafe caught in th’ act.

.“Purty soon Tim whirls round,
an’ his eyes are jist slits. ‘I’m
not askin’ ye agin fer any favors,’
sez he, ‘but. ye had plinty of
money—what did ye do wid ut?

‘Ay bane fool!’ gez Larse.
“Too much drinkin’ an’ gam blin’,’

* ‘Gamblin’? roars Tim:

“An’ poor Larse nods assint,

“ "Ye never gambled a cint in
ver loife,’ sez Tim. ‘Ye over-
stipped yersilf there. An’ ’m
thinkin’ ye’re aliar! So ye spint
ut, did ye? I have me suspicions
now where that money wint!
Tell me,’ sez Tim, catchin’ Larse
by the shoulders, ‘Pwhat become
of ut? Jist fer instance, ye did
not buy groceries wid ut, did ye?

Ye didn’t sind medicine an’ fruit
an’ shoes an’ stockin’s an’ dresses fer
th’? woife an’ choildera? Ye didn’t
order an’ pay fer tong of coal, all th’
toime hidin’ an’ spookin’ around in

the dark loike a ghost, afraid t’ look |

anywan’ in the face? That’s jist fwhat
ye did, Mr. Larse! I can see nt in yer
eyes, an’ I’ve a notion t’ wring yer
neck! Fwhy didn’t ye tell me whin
I'm sittin’ here bitin’ the hand that’s
hin feedin’ us? Gh, bye, I can’t tell ye
how much—how I feel about this! 1
niver suspected ut at all, at all; an’
here ye stip up an’—an'—well, yer
nothin’ but a damn little furriner or ye
wouldn’t have done ut!’ sez Tim, an’
gtabbin’ a bar, he begins to lift wan
ind of a toie as if his life depinded
on ut,”’
