Black Jakle stood In the j shelter afforded by the elevated road 1 ( pillar, his threadbare raincoat drawn I j tightly about him, his hands thrust | deeply into his pockets, as ho gently ] ; tapped first one foot and then the othj er on the wet pavement. Not that Jakio ! ^ f was cold, but his shoes had worn qulto & thin, and the dirty, brown slush had , , Bought out all the little cracks through ? which it might seep and find a com| fortable haven. Si " 'S going to be a lean Christmas for < 5 me," Jakie sighed reflectively to the j gleaming lights of Broadway. "Awful | J i lean." i { In his pocket he jingled his one j i InnA fliinrtor ocrolno* ,"v" ~m x- ' " , ? iud ivejf Ul ills j ^ i cheap Sixth avenue room and snllled j as he thought of the days when he ^ had jingled gold coins. In tlioso days i the racing game had been good, and , _ Jakie was one of tho best-known booky ies at Sheepshead. Then he had been . 1 affluent. He had dressed in the height pf #ultra-fasliion and radiated with that reaty ""joney look, k ' The dying, out of the racing sport ' i and too frequent trips to the bar had * , left Jakie stranded, without a friend . in the world. '< i Silently and moodily Jakie relffeCtcd f j on his hard lot. His chin, with its p. ' two-day growth of heavy black beard. that same heavy beard which had al nan that is to be."

Yes, It Must Be 8he. n ways shone through his pallid skin r and had earned for him his cognomen of Black Jakle, trembled a little, and h the thin, blue lips pulsated with low- a muttered maledictions heaped upon t the world in general. The sporting element soon forgets old pals down on a their luck, he reflected. Nervously scanning the faces of a shoppers emerging from the doorway a of a department store, Jakle's face lighted up as he saw a petite figure B laden with many bundles start across a the sidewalk. Marie Lecourt! Yes, E it must be she. Marie, tho prettiest girl in the Follies chorus. Should he f speak to her? Perhaps she would have at least a kind word for the fellow who had bought her many din- t ners at swell cafes and had lavished his money on her when he had it. Instinctively he started forward, his hand on his ancient velour hat, the e one relic of palmy days. Hut almost a* he started he checked ^ himself. No, it would be better not r to speak to Marie, for she, like all me rest or tne old crowd, would turn j him down, would refuse to speak to 8 a bum. He stepped back to the shelter of the elevated pillar Just as Mario j turned to cross the street. Her bright eyes twinkling with good cheer, Bhe , came up quite close to Jakie. 8ud- ^ denly a flash of recognition crossed her countenance and she almost t dropped her packages as she rushed forward. "Jakie." she cried, "is It really . you? Where have you been? What 1 are yon doing here and where are you A going?" ( Before Jakie could think of an an- _ swer to the questions which called for a recital of almost his entire life's history, she went on: "For goodness' sake, Jakie, you look a sight! What's the idea of oil this poor-folksy makeup? Is it a stall or are you really forced to wear them?' "Forced Is right," rcpllod Jakie. "I'm broko. 1 saw you as you came out of tho storo, but T. didn't know whether you would want to speak to me or not." "Silly," laughed Marie. "Want to speak to my old pal? Of course ! do. And now that I have seen you we are , I going to have a good, old-fashioned I chat, but we can't stand here in this I wet and talk. I am living with my 1 married sister now and Just came downtown for a few things to hang on the kiddies' tree. Come on up and | help us fix the things." V Jakie thanked hir, but remonstrati ed that his attire was scarcely sult|Mble lor an MS LOOK AS IF SHOT Effect of Shot Hol^ Borer on Fruit Trees and What to Do to Control This Insect Pest. Whenever your fruit trees die back and you find little holes In the bark that make you think somebody had shot into the trees with a shotgun loaded with No. 8 shot, those trees are Infested with shot hole borere. If with your knife blade you peel off the bark you will find not sap wood, but a mass of sawdust instead. Shot hole borers usually attack a tree that has been weakened. The principal causes of weakening In trees are scale and borers. A badly Infested tree should b? cut out and burned during winter. Badly Infested branches should be cut from a tree and the tree stimulated. Insects stay over winter in bark as little white grubs and pupae. By carefully watching the tree one may determine the time when the last brood of beetles lias come out, which is about the middle of September. At that time the following wash should be applied to the tree: Quick lime 20 lbs. Soap(not coal tar or naphtha) 2 lbs Sulfur 6 lbs. Salt Gibs. Water 25 gals. Dissolve the soap In 2 gallons of hot water. With water batter the sulphur into a pasto. While the lime is slaking in a barrel, add the soap and the Bulfur and slowly dilute until the whole maes makes 25 gallons. The salt has no advantage except to make I sisted that his clothes made "no" difference to her' and that her sister would surely think tho same. Anyway, no matter what her sister might think, Jakie was her friend, and that settled it. ? 1 They walked to Fourth avenue and took the subway to Ilarlem. Jakie insisting on spending ten cents of his precious quarter for tho carfare, although Marie had tried to shove a dime into his hand. On tho way up Jakie told his story, laying the blame on hard luck and the Btate officials who had put racing on the bum. Marie listened with quiet attention, nodding her head here and there and Interjecting a question now and then as the ex-bookic seemed about to drift away from his story. Jakie was introduced to Maude and John, her husband. They were either too buoy decorating a tiny Christmas tree on a stand in the corner of the room HP nlno thov ? ?1 ?- www ?UVJ U(UU t V.UI U, 1UI I1U1~ ther evinced disapproval of Jakie. He was made to feel at homo In the little family circle, and entered svlth keen enjoyment the work of trimming the tree and arranging the presants for the two children fast asleep j In tho next room. Tlio final arrangement completed, ' Maude and her husband took a last I peek at the sleeping kiddies and called ; Jakio to see them. As the little group stood in the doorwny Jakie noticed that John put his J about Maude's waist and that tho 0ht in Maude's eyes shone with pouliar brilliance as she snuggled aloser. It was a picture of domestic i love and felicity and It touched Jakio leeply. John and Maude having retired for ' i Lhe night, Jakio and Marie were left I < ilone in the parlor. i \ Seated before the fireplace, where : ;ho gas log was throwing forth a ;heery heat, Jakio asked Marie about lerself. She had left the chorus and all her 'ormer gay companions and was now j employed in a millinery establishment, j "What's the matter with tho show fame?" asked Jakie. "Too fast for irou?" "Yes, Jakie. Somehow or other [ couldn't let myself drift like tho >thers had, and when I came up here | o live with Maude and John and the I iteik well, they didn't think it was .ho bChi-Jhlng for tho kids to have .holr aunt la the chorus. Not that , hey objected to the chorus part of t- hut thpn thorp nrO on mnnv ftthnr I hings that go with It. i\he gay com)any, the loose way of living and hings of that sort." "So you cut It out for the sake Pf I he kids?" i "Yes, for the kids and for my own lake. I was becoming tired of the ' lfe, and the home life here seemed to I ouch something in me and make me ( vant to live right. There is nothing n that fnst life, Jakie; the right way s the only way. You may prosper for ' i time on the wrong road, but sooner , ?r later you come to grief." , Yes, she was right. Jake knew. The prong way had drnggod him down. . )rink and loose companions had , irought him to his present level. For a long time he sat and gazed it the fire. When next he spoke 1 here was a tenderness in his voice < luch as had never been there before. "Say, Marie," he said, "do you think 1 'ou could help me get on the right < rack, the honest road? I want to try. | see how happy you are and what a , hange it has made In you. I am gong to try." * Tenderly she put her hand on his ( irm. "I am glad that you will try. , Tou know I always liked you, Jakie. lomehow you were different from the * est of the old crowd, for you were J lways a gentleman in your manner, fou would never stand for the real ough stuff." ' "That's the kindest thing I have t leard for two years." said Jakie ( lowly, as he patted the small hand Kfkf at ill lot, /ttt hlo nom 1 mmv 0tin iuj yjii inn ai ill. Suddenly he stiffened In his chair ( .8 a thought seized htm. . "Mario," he asked tenderly," Is there ,ny fellow, right now, that you think f . lot of? You know the way 1 mean." j "No, Jakie, not now," she answered lowly, as sho understood why he ;sked. Then she added, "but there 1 night be if?" "If he were a right-living sort of ellow?" broke In Jakte. "Yes." . The clock on the mantelpiece struck 1 welve. 'Gee, It's Christmas morning," ilghed Jakle. "YeR, Christmas," breathed Mario ( loftly. ) | "Could you?do you think, will you . valt until?well, until 1 can get on the ight track?" < She nodded hor head in silence, fakle put his arm around her waist ind drew her head to his shoulder. "You do care, Marie?" ho whispered, y Again she nodded and then turned ler Hps to his. "My Christmas present,'- said Jakle j loftly, "the best little giii in the vorlu." f "And mine," added Marie, "is the I the wash stick faster to the trees.
