Woodward Pemberton. v- IT any wonder that the man with the tin whistle felt a trifle discouraged? Is It any wonder when the pavements were so cold, the wind so keen and his coat 60 thin? It seemed, on that shivery Christmas Eve, as If everything was trying to make life as dreary as possible, instead of as merry. It would not even snow. A fine, sharp drizzle swept in under the bridge where the man with the tin whistle stood, and managed to get Inside the tops of his boots and his collar and up his coatsleeves; it was very disappointing inaeea. Holiday season was usually a jolly one for pennies. Either people had a great deal more at that time, or they were bent on getting rid of those they had. The man with the tin whistle kept a little cup that possessed a most remarkable appetite for coppers! It could hold as many pennies at one gulp as a boy eating raisins out of a plum pudding; and thats saying a great deal I But today the little cup was almost empty. Nobody had time to stop and dig around in pockets for loose coins; it was too cold, and their gloves bothered and they wanted to get home, where their children were waiting to clap their hands over the packages from the stores. The man with the tin whistle wanted to get home, too. He did not have any children waiting for him, and they would have had no bundles to squeal over if he did, but there was a funny, raggedy dog that always expected something, and danced around in a dizzy, delightful way that was very cheerful. But tow could the man with the tin whistle go home when his tunes brought him nothing but numb fingers and a feeling in his feet as If they had turned to wood? However, he screwed up his mouth, look a long breath, pretended that pennies were making his little cup ring like sleigh bells and played the gayest little tune you ever heard It laughed Its way up the windy stairs Into the S 1 itation It chuckled along the cold on the gray wall; it capered bout the pavement like an elf doing t polka and was altogether the merri-- t piece of business in that particular jpot that had happened for years. The nan with the tin whistle was thinking ibout Ravelings, his dog at home, and fra convinced It put something Into lls tune that was irresistible. For let me tell you! In two minutes who ihould come running down the steps In front of him but a youug lady with the pinkest cheeks and the lauhlng-es- t eyes ho had ever seen. She was smiling at him as though she had known him all her life. I love that tuner she said. It always make me want to skip my feet. You cant think how nice It is to hear It this miserable night. Thank you! And the little cup had the surprising mouthful of a quarter. ; rtones Theres supper for me ana Ravel-lng- s, thought the man with the tin whistle, as he tipped his hat And before he could declcre whfber It would be hot dogs or soup, somebody else was smiling at h.'m. This time It wus a quiet man with gray hair. I always look for you whtU I come down the stairs, said the man, and I like to hear those rollicking little tunes you play. It cheers a man up after a long days work- - Merry Christmas I And, If youll believe me, the quiet man with the gray hair tossed in half a dollar! The little tin rup rattled Importantly and gave every Indication of being ready for anything after thl3. On went the frolicking melody. On ware the pennies. The man with the tin whistle almost forgot how cold hla feet were and that the rain had succeeded In making Ms stockings very wet and wretched. It really must have been the tune, for everybody had a coin and a hit of greeting. So he played and played and played. He thought his luck would change If he changed the tune, and. Ire very nearly blew the breath out of him, keeping the notes dancing about in that dismal place. Ravelings and he were going to have the finest supper In all Christen- dom, if whistling could do it Some people threw In pennies, and some threw in dimes, and au occasional one dropped a quarter; but the best surprise of all came at the last (which Is the way It should be, especially on Chrlstmee Eve). The man with the tin whistle was Just about to tnke It a' fay from his mouth and start home when a little, old lady, with white hair, stopped In front of him. Her eyes twinkled like frosty stars and there was something about her that made one think of a chickadee. Perhaps it was her bright, quick eyes, or maybe the way she put her head on one side and looked so exceedingly wise and happy. The man with the tin whistle thought she was the nicest old lady he had ever seen. And this was before she had said a word. Somebody, chirped the old lady (her voice was like a chickadees, too, only It did not say what a chickadee does), Somebody who went through here last year about (his time has sent you a present. That somebody was a lot of things. very discouraged ov And the day was discouraging, too, just like this. But you were playing away here for all you were worth, Just as if the sun were shining and your feet wrere warm ns toast. The tune wms the same one you are tootling now. And that somebody decided that If you could stand and whistle n Joly air In all the cold and wet and drizzle, that It was time to make himself brace up and do something. And he did. The old lady twinkled harder than ever. The man with the tin whistle wondered what In the world she was going to say next But she did not say anything for a minute. She whipped out a pocketbook, snapped open the top, took out a small, folded piece of paper and handed It to the man with the tin whistle. Then she snapped her pocketbook together, put It In her bag, perked her head on one side and chirped, Merry Christmas! The man was my son. And she wms gone before you could say Jack Robinson!
