?ADKD was the bookkeeper,
for It had been
u wearisome day In
the ofltce. An almost
constant hum, hum of
voices, and footsteps
going In and out, and accustomed as
ho was to It, noise grated on the
bookkeeper's nerves, for It was near
the close of the month's business,
when the trial balance would bo on,
and the balance or the year expected.
He was tired, brain tired, nerve
tired and soul tired, and the long
rows of figures seemed Instinct with
life, llttlo dancing Imps trying to
dodge and hldo from his memory, luring
him on to orrors which would
afterwards causo endless search and
trouble to discover.
Tho manager had gono home, and
the other employes, having finished
their work, wero at liberty to go also
"Going homo, Mr. Smith?" asked
tho clerk, a fresh cheeked young man,
whoso voice fell ploasantly on the
bookkeeper's ear. llo hnd been
young, care free and sanguine himself
once, and he hud a tender feeling
for young men.
"Not Just uow, Charlie. About an
hour's work hero yet." Ho looked
after tho Jaunty, elastic figure, with
a slight sigh for his own lost youth
He was old; he felt It in overy nerve.
Joint and brain cell, and ho wondered
how many years of rest It would take
to obliterate the Impress of life's toll
There must be figures Imprinted on
hts brain, he thought, and figure*
danced baforu his eyes at night when
ne wouia sleep, in never ending procession.
"It's going to be cold to-night. Mr
8mlth," said tho Janitor, when at last
the safo was locked and the book
koepPr struggled Into his ovorcoat fur
too thin for tho weather, old and
worn In tho battle of life, like himself.
"Ych. Light tho fires a little early,
Johnson, please, for I shall be 011
hand before the others."
"All right, sir." The Janitor looked
after him with a pitying smile. "Poor
old duffer. I expect he knows he's
got to put In his best licks if he holds
his Job. It's a hard world, that's
what It Is."
It was a small cottage home where
the weary footsteps at last halted,
and there was a female figure on tho
little porch In front.
"Is that you, papa?"
"Yes, Mattle. How is my dear tonight?"
"How Is my dear? Your dear Is
all right," she answered, with brisk
pleasantry, as she locked her arm In
his. and swung the door wide open.
"I know you are tired. 1 can feel
your muscles quiver."
"Yea, Mattle. How warm and savory
you smell In here," be said, Inhaling
the pleasant odor aud warmth
gratefully. It was such a cheerful
little sitting room, with pictures
tastefully hung, draped windows, and
rvstful easy chairs Invitingly placod.
Just beyond, the little tea tubio
with its snowy oloth and glimmer of
modest silver and glassware, beckoned
temptingly, but Mattle shook
her finger in warning. "You are not
even to look toward the dining room
until 1 call you, papa," she said,
laughingly. "I should have had supper
all on if you were not such an
unpunctual party. Sit down now and
got warm while 1 am gone."
He r-ank Into the red covered rocker
with the slippers standing suggestively
before it, with a smile. It is so
Buuu iu uo ui liuiiiu, una Mattlo was
such a cliecry little homekeeper that
his maDtle of care slipped off for the
moment, and his weary eyes drooped
dreamily In the warm firelight.
"I do believe you have been napping,
papa," Mattie said, as she caine
In ten minutes later. She did not tell
him that she had dropped a tear, and
a kiss as light and soft as a downy
suowfluke on his tired eyes to nwukon
him, as she stood beside htm, her
heart swelling with a great pity and
love.
"Come, dear, waffles and tea will
rest you, 1 know, and Aunt Dean has
sent in a platter of fried chicken and
some of her fine, white clover honey."
"Quite a feast, my child," said the
father, smilingly, as he took his seat
before the plate of steaming waffles.
"Aren't you afraid 1 shall develop
gout If we live so high?"
It was their little Joke, and each
laughed merrily as Mattlo poured the
tea. "How Is it to-day, papa?" sho

In any of the day's worry or grievance,
but she had been so anxious.
"Not much better, daughter. Mr.
Rollins was coolly civil, that was all,
and the manager fretted over u mistake
which was more his fault than
miua. It Is of no use to disguise tho
truth, dear. I can feel it in the air
that there will soon be a younger
bookkeeper at the desk, and the old
man will have to take what lie can
get. I can see they put their heads
together and speak lew, and are
careful to closo doors when I am
about. They mean to let mo down
easy, 1 suppose, and not hurt my feelings;
as if anything would hurt worse
than to know one has outlived his
usefulness." And all the pain and
trouble of tho weeks past seemed concentrated
in the trembling bitterness
of his tone. "There, love, 1 have j
made you ery?forgive me, dear. It I

threaded her brown hair gently, and
with a smile of trust, though the teara
were starting, as she citing around
j hla neck, patting his withered chock
and telling him how 6ho loved him,
j and how too dear and good he was
to bo tho slave of heartless men who
only cared for business and money,
and could not appreciate the honest, i
conscientious sorvlce bo had given
them.
It was her foolish, woman's way
of looking on the one side when her

sitting room.
After all, what did it nintter? Only
a few short years, and then rest?the
roHt which romnlns, and who3e deep

What would it matter there whether
ho finished his life work with one '
or the other, bo thnt it was finished
honestly and faithfully.
He went to bed early and stretched
his tired limbs with deep thankfulness
for home and the home lovo
which so took the sling out of life's
contest. Mettle was so like her mother,
doar girl. God had been very good
to give him tho devotion of two such
loving, faithful souls?and thinking
so of her, he fell asleep.
It was the day before Christmas,
and struggle against It as be would,
the bookkeeper's heart was still
heavy. Tho first of tho year would
doubtless sco tho new incumbent,
whoevor it might bo, installed In his
place, and he watched every sus-'
plclous arrival .with a feverish au.v-.

which might mean everything
or nothing to the cashier, and so it
went until his heart was liko lead,
and his hands trembled 60 with nervous
chill that be could scarcely make
his Qgures.
"The manager woutd liko to see
you, sir, in his private office," said
Tom. tho office boy, in his ear, and
urose, trembling.
"Well, Mr. Smith," said the manager,
in his easy, prosperous tones;
he had liis thousands invested, besides
his position, nud had no need
to worry over tho price of coal or
breadstuffs. "You have worked for
us nbout ten years now, I believe."
The bookkeeper lifted up a haggard
fnce, in which there was not a trace
cf color. It had come, then, and he
must carry the news to Mattle on
Christmas Eve. "Yes, sir, ten years
come January," he managed to stammer
out. if he hod looked behind
hint he would have seen the door
tilled with smiling faces, but he wns
too miserable to care who saw his
misery.
"And all these years you have
Burved us faithfully."
| "l nave tried to, sir."
"We are not much given to sentiment,
Mr. Smtth, but It occurs to us
that It Is only Just, sir, that we celebrate
this holiday occasion with a
little token of our appreciation. Tom.
you beggar, come along .here with
that package."
The office boy came grinning, with |
a great bundle which he laid In the
manager's arms. "We have noticed,
sir, that you are growing old, as well
as the rest of us, and that your step
Is not as elastic as when you first
entered our employ," pursued the
manager as he cut the string and unrolled
a handsome fur lined coat, the 1
very odor of which suggested luxurious
warmth, "and that you hover
over the fire r, little more, consequently,
than when your young blood (
kept you warm, and as we wish to ]
keep you with us for another ten
years. If you d'sire It, we thought our
most appropriate gift would be something
like our regard and esteem for . 1
you, something warm and lasting? i

The dazed bookkeeper stepped forward
like one In a dream, and held
nut his arms mechanically, and the
manager patted and smoothed the
luxurious garment across the thin (
shoulders, which had lost their upright,
sturdy carriage by long stoop- <
! lag over the books.
"Such a time, sir, as wo have had

cashier, with a genial smile. "You
were sure to look around If we had a

AMERICANS INVENT
For the First Time They Oulslrip-Foreign ]
Arc Retired?Young America Want
But Must Have
New York City.?The coming to the
forefront of the electrical toys in this
year's Christmas display is a signal
for the foreign toymaker3 to watch
out for American competition. Practically
all the devices with motor and
dynamo attachments are of domestic
make.
Until very recent years nearly all
the playthings sold in this country
were Imported from France. Germany
and Austria, with a few from England,
but now it looks as if America
were taking up the trade in earnest,
and it is a far larger industry than
the casual shopper would ever dream.
Last year Germany, which leads in
toy manufacturing, exported $15,000.000
worth, while France, which
ranks second, sent out $7,500,000.
Estimated on the fact that we imported
between 10,000,000 and 12,000,000
toys and dolls, not counting a
thirty-five per cent, duty, it is reckoned
that last year's retail sales of
foreign and domestic playthings came
to at least $30,000,000.
It was with the introduction of expensive
iron toys that America began
to supply some of its own demand, so
that now, while the domestic products
do not equal the imports, they make
a considerable factor, and threaten
more and more to drive out the foreign
makers.
This is strikingly shown in the
new electrical toy^wjilch depend so
largely for theirM|Hta^iu
unity of the ln^^^^^Rhc forte of
tho American aiher than
on tho technical the ordinary
workman?a here.
As long as iron toys wore made to
run by ccrews and mechanism. Germany
was able to hold tho market
because of the greater technical proficiency
of her factory hands. A boy
from their trade schools could do the
work which requires a skilled man
here, making it possible for tho German
factory to turn out cheaper and
better toys.
However, some clever American i
mechanic hit upon the scheme of substituting
electricity for mechanism,
greatly to tho Joy cf the American
boy, and at tho same time greatly to
the advantage of American toyniakers.
Now, Instead of winding up a box
to keep the train of cars a-moving, !
they are placed on a third rail system.
By making the cars very light, i
a battery too weak to shock the small
proprietor will operate the cars successfully.
Besides initiating k!m into
the mysteries of the switch, semaphore
and round Iioubc, there are
electric trip-hammers, punches, dynamos,
scroll saws, buzz saws and |
chain and bucket derricks, all new ;
this year, to the credit of American '
Ingenuity.
A far more skillful piece of mechanism

The cars go around the trrfck and nn

train sets the ferryboat In motion; |

will wear out in a week. The
boy fixes his longing instead on a
tiny model of the Zeppelin airship, differently
propelled, but a perfect copy
in appearance.
Aside from the mass of electrical
toys there i;re a few mechanical devices
oT American invention exhibited
in this year's Christmas stock of toys.
One is a "jack-in-thc-boi" top, which
starts spinning in the ens?, then lifts
the lid and hops out without stopping
its motion. There is r.l<o a lazy bay's
top, which winds its own string while
spinning. There is a whale, which
swims across a tub of water, spouting
gorgeously on his journey.
"Mr. Jigger" is n many-Jointed,
wooden figure which jigs to any tun?
whistled or sung by merely rapping a
board in time. The uncanny dancing
mannikin draws crowds which ta:: the
imagination of its barker, who proclaims
its virtues as an infant. , unifier.
"Your baby begins to cry. Place
this on the sewing machine, and,
holding the board with one elbow, begin
to rap." The demonstrator followed
liis own directions, producing
an unholy clatter, to which the mannikin
jigged. "The baby sees him
dance. lie stops crying. Ho begins
to crow"?and the zealous salesman
pounds harder than ever.
"Not on jour life," contradicts a
sturdy looking matron, raising her
voice above the nolc?. ' You're a real
smart young man, no doubt, hut any
human young one I ever sro would
yell murder. I've brought up six,
and ought to know."
The ina-.rou pushes her v.?v out
