'an Mrs. Darling, her ann, around the small son on her lap, and Myrah, her daughter, sit- ting near, eyes wide with expec- 'ation. "It is a crowded city, London, and there is never quite enough work to go around. Many men cannot earn enough money to buy bread for their families and have to depend on the odd pence they can collect from passersby, through selling shoe laces in the streets. "Those poor men," said Mrs. Darling, bending her head low and looking at Tim, "would be 1 glad of those lovely crusts you always want to leave!" "They can have 'em!" came the eager reply, in Tim's high, clear tones. Mrs. Darling laughed. "I mean, dear, you should not waste them," she explained. "Do beggars always sell shoe laces?" asked Myrah. "Mostly," replied her mother. "Not because they are the best I selling article in London, by any means, but simply because beg- ging is not allowed, and the men must have something with them to offer for sale, or else the po- lice would run them in. Shoe laces are a cheap stock-in-trade. "One day, as I came out of school, I saw a most miserable- looking beggar-man standing by the curb just outside our school- gate, a few laces dangling from his gaunt, lean fingers. There was a very hopeless air about him, as if he felt it was quite useless making the effort to get any pennies; and he looked very hungry. "Feeling sorry for him, I Idelved at once into my pocket for a copper which I thought was there. He saw the move- ment and watched me eagerly. Imagine my feelings, however, when I found the penny gone." 'Never mind,' said, as cheerfully as I could, 'You come home. My mother will give you something.'So off we started. He was very lame, and it was quite a long way, but 'worth his while,'s I thought. He trudged at the back, while I walked in front with my friends. Every now and then I would glance over my shoulder to see if he were still there. "It was a lovely feeling, doing good like that! I thought I should like to play 'Lady Boun- tiful'very day of my life! "My little school friends were left, on the way, at their various homes, and the last portion of the walk found me almost tread- ing on air, and tripping along so gaily I had to take care not to out-distance the beggar alto- gether. "As we neared home, I noticed the door was shut, with a scrap of white paper stuck in the crack. The house looked as if my mother were out! "Running ahead, those last few steps, I hastily fumbled in our hiding place for the key, and alas! found it. Hurriedly I un- locked the door, slipped inside, and bolted it! "With throbbing heart and knees shaking, I stood in the hall. After a few moments I peeped through the curtains, and saw my poor beggar-man stand- ing at the gate. "After ages had gone by. it seemed, he slowly walked up the path, and knocked on the se- curely bolted door. "By this time I was crying my eyes almost out, and feeling a very wretched child, indeed. "A second time he knocked. "Then a third. "At last he turned away, looking more hopeless than ever. Sadly I watched his bent figure disappear up the road, and as he passed out of sight I tumbled on the sofa and gave myself up to tears." 'He--he thought I played a joke on him !' sobbed in my mother's arms that evening. "I felt terrible about it for a long while. "It would not have been so bad if I had not walked so smartly ahead of him all the way home. It all seemed so unkind!" "Did you ever see him again, mother?" asked Myrah. "I wouldn't go to that school any more for fear of meeting him," owned Mrs. Darling. "One thing I learned, though, from that little experience--it doesn't pay to show off!" "Do you remember the tale of Solomon-bin-doad, in the 'Just So Stories'? asked Myrah, "and how he showed off?" "To be sure he did 1" laughed Mrs. Darling. "Poor Solomon! He thought he would feed all the fish of the sea, and after great shiploads of food had been collected a mon- ster rose out of the ocean and gulped down the whole lot, ask- ing," 'When will dinner be ready?'When he learned that was a!1 the food for all the fishes in the sea, he looked at Solomon out of the corner of his eye, and said," 'I, and my brothers, eat twice as much as that between meals.' "And Solomon fell flat on the sands, and promised never to show off, never no more," finish- ed Tim. "Well, I fell flat, too. there on the sofa crying," replied Mrs. Darling, "and I made the same promise to myself!"
