| Tally White's. Christmas,
RY CHARLES E. HURD
Concluded. ‘Boy’ ll call for the basket in half ap hour,’’ said the porter, and went out.
i As soon as the door closed the tall
gentleman moved the basket to the side of the open truok, Thea he took off ‘ the eotton covering and threw it on a chair. Then he lifted the top blanket but no sooner had he done so than he let it drop again—not back in the basket, but upon the floor—ani stood staring with all his might at what it had covered. There lay ‘Taffy, his arm under his head, his brown curls knotted and tangled, kis eyes shut, sleeping away as peacefully as if he had been in a real bed and under the direct eye of his grand mother.
Tho longer the tall geatleman gezed the more he wondered.
“How on earth, he thought to him- self, did that little chap get mixed up with my purchase’ He coulda’t have been packed in by mistake, and I cer- tainly don’t remember buying a boy. Hie may be able to tell me something about it himself, Here, Tommy, Jacky, Billy, or what’s-your-name, wake up!”
Taffy opened his eyes—not very wide at first: but in a minute or two, becom- ing conscious that he was no longer in the store, but in a strange room, he wrew wide awake, and sat up in the basket. ‘Then he felt for his boots, and very deliberately drew them on, keeping his eyes all the while fixed on the tall gentleman, who, in return, watched him with a sort ot amused astonishment. Then he put on his cap and wound his comforter twice round his neck.
“Well,” said the tall gentieman in a very pleasant sort of voice, “and what are you joing to do now ?”
“Pind my pp.,”’ said Taffy, stout! -
“Your papa? What's his name ?”
“Papa. ‘At’'s all his name.”
‘‘But where is he ?”
“Califarnia.”’
‘You ve got some way to go, my dear! fellow, before you find him, then. Where did you come from ?”’
“Gran’pa Was’bun’s.”’
“What!” said the tall gentleman, quickly. “Say that ogain. What's your name ?”
“Taffy White.”
The tall gentleman caught him up under the arms and held him up under the gaslight.
“Are you sure you're Taffy White ?”’ he asked earnestly—so earnestly that Taffy thought he was scolding and began to ery. ;
“Where were you going? LIlow came you here ? What were you doing in that basket”
“[euess I ran away. I just peeked in the cars, and then they kept going till I got to California. ’Kao me get down Papa! I want my papa!
He pulled his little handkerchief from his pocket as he fouod his feet,
again, and with it came his treasured | caught |
letter. The tall gentlemea sight of it, glanced at the inside, and then snatched up Taffy for the second time ; not, however, to examine him by the gaslight, buf to hug and kiss him over and over again.
“Don’t you know me, my dear, darling, precious little boy ?” he said at last.
“Don’t you remember papa! Of course you don’t, but I am your papa, for all that. How did you get here in that basket ? I can’t understand it.”
Taffy was too much bewildered at first to make any explanation, and it took some vainutes to make him duiy appreciate the fact that he had found his papa; or rather that his papa had found him. Then when he had, little by little, related the main facts of the journey and his subsequent adventures, there was more kissing and hugging anda little cryiog ; but itwasn’t for sorrow.
+ We'll send Grandpa Washburn a dis- patch right off, Taffy, boy,” said his father ; ‘‘ for I have no doubt they have offered a reward for you already. Then we li have supper, for you must be as empty as atin can by this time. And after supper,if you're not too sleepy,we’ il take aruo around among the toy stores. They won't shut up till late, and it’s only nine o’clock now.”
It wasn’t too late, and they did takea tour among the toy shops, Taify came home so londed down with brown paper parcels and packages that he looked like a mina- ture St. Nicholas; but no more sw sn the lad who toiled on behind, « d from view, all but hislegs, with a cnvice selection of rocking-horses, go-carts, hand- sleds, and other miscellaneous articles, to set him up in a very respectable business.
That night the little hotel bedroom was a chamber of peace; and when the church belis rang in the blessed Christmas, no heart within their sound felt the benign influence of the time more deeply, or swelled with a purer gratitude towards Him whose birth it commemorated, than
that which beat against the tired little |
head of the wondering Taffy.
