What put Jim up a peg was tbe fact that hta mule towed a canal- boat Jim waa not especially proud of bis mule, but be was very proud of bis l>oat He coaid tie up nlgbts, picket his mi)le and turn into tbe luxurious quarters in tbe stern for a good sleep Most of the other boats on that canal contained families. Jim was a lone bachelor, and when be passed other boats and saw clothes hanging out to dry be felt more lonely than ever, and when he saw dirty faced children look ing at him out of tbe stern windows It made him positively homesick. 1 The hardest days for Jim to get through were holidays. There was one Christmas that he kept the towpatb all day to drive away the blues. And even then he couldn’t help seeing the win dows along bis route hung with ever greens and children running about showing one another the toys that San ta Claus had brought them. There was a small bouse a short dis tance from the canal In which there lived an old woman. She kept chick ens. a cow and several pigs. Jim had no Interest In the place until one day when be was passing with his boat a comely young woman emerged from the house with a bucket In ber hand and dumped the contents into the pig sty. Jim passed out of sight of the red cheeked girl with a bucket to tbe mu sic of grunting pigs. Men have fallen In love to tbe sonnd of a lute. Probably their refined na turef. could not have fallen into tbe same condition to tbe grunting of pigs struggling for rwlli; But Jim was not a gentleman; he was a mule driver. At any rate, tbat’s exactly what be did Ills lonely heart yearned for that red checked girt, and love waa born within him on the same principle that It is born In a man listening to a lute. Aa Jim went beck and forth on tbe toerpath whenever be paaeed that bouse be looked for tbe girl with tbe red cheeks. One day be reached tbe place Just aa she stepped out Into the yard Naturally, eeetug a boat moving by. she looked at It. Then, seeing Jim. she looked at him. He waa only • roan driving a mule attached to a ea- nalboat. but perha|ie the waa sighing for a mate. Just aa Jim waa. At any rate, she didn’t look away till she bad noticed an admiring look on Jim’s hon est. bat homely, face Aa be iwased on she continued to look at him. Tbe next time she saw the boet go by It waa In the late fall, bat tbe Ice bad not closed navigation. Jim bad an overcoat buttoned tight around him and waa smoking a abort pipe On tbe deck of hla boat was a board prop ped up to show chalked letters. “Christ mas la cornin’." How did that girl know that this waa a message for her? Maybe abe didn’t but tbe next time Jim pawed tbe boose be saw chalked on tbe roof of tbe pigsty, “Hope you’ll enjoy it” Tbe Ice waa broken—not In tbe canal, but tbe Ice of nonacqoalntanoe be tween these two plners for each other. Tbe next passing message waa, “How would you like to spend It on a canal- boatT" To which waa made a reply. “Fuat rats." Much lew baa been taken for a pro poeal of marriage and an acceptance. The singular part of It la that tbe con tract In this case was mads before these two had a closer view of each other than a hundred yards Never theless Jim regarded the matter set tled, and his heart was overjoyed that be would not have to spend tbe com ing Christmas on tbe towpatb to keep from being lonely. Hig next message was “Christmas eve?” To which be received a reply, “Isn’t that suddent?" On seeing this loving message chalked in beautiful pure white letters on the root of the pigsty Jim halted his mule, sat down on the deck of his boat with bis legs daugltng over tbe side and waited for a sight of his ladylove. Presently she appeared at a window and threw btan a kiss. He was not satisfied with this and waited longer, but abe did not ap pear again. Turning the board over, be chalked on tbe other side./’Be ready Christmas eve.” Having waited till be felt sure she had seen bis message, be drove on. The day before Christmas Jim loaded up at the terminal with Christmas vi ands and on bis way out again called on a parson living beside a church that be bad often noticed near tbe girl’s house. Tbe parson promised to be on band on Christinas eve. Mind you, Jim was taking It all on faith. He didn’t know wbat tbe girl would do, but bd said that be “kind & reckoned she would.” Dusk was.fall ing on Christmas eve when Jlm’a boms, containing a brldal-Christmee outfit, stopped opposite tbe girl’s home. He and tbs parson went there and found ber in ber best dress. Jim bed on a store suit, and at nearer view the two were mutually pleased. Tbe old women gave Jim s shrewd glance and was evidently satisfied. Tbe party sat down to s supper for which s chicken had been killed, and after tbs dishes w<ere washed and” put sway tbs cere mony was performed.
