"Perhaps Santa Claus filled your stock
ing so full so you could put some things
in Tins girls" said mamma.
ooh, esh [ b'lieve he did," And, all
| smiles and good humor once more, Daisy
slid down from her mothers bed, and ran
back to the nursery Mamma came too,
| to watch and see what the little one would
| do.
| The chubby fingers had already fasten
ed upon the full stocking, and were pull
| ing forth all that it contained, the sweet,
| crooked tongue chattering the while as
fast as it could go. Will you listen to her
as she talks-partly to herself, partly to
any one who will heed?
| "Ady- apples-two-one for Daisy, one
| for Tins dirl Pity bots wis fanny i'll it
noder pity bots-one for Tins dirl, one
| for Daisy; dis is de pittiest, Tins dirl sail

told an so hundry! [ will pit it in her
stottin. [ sint Sanity Taus meaned her to
have it. OATS all!'
The little stocking which had been
| 'scrammed full" now hung "crammed
| empty" while its neighbor was more than
| half filled and Daisy turned to the heap
of larger toys which lay below in the
corner by the fireplace.
"a tea-set-a FULLY, FULLY tea-set-tups

spoons, an all! Oh, mamma! mamma
An new dolly-a dolly whats'uts its eyes
AN a woolly ba-a-lamb!-a anew sash,
oh what pity sash an new little chair !!
Mamma, what sail be for Tins dirl, ar
what for me? Why didn't Sanity Taus
dive two dollies, an two lambies, an two
ev'ysing?"
Here was puzzle. Daisy wanted all
these pretty things so much for herself;
but her generous little heart would not let
her keep them ALL When "Tim's drip had
none. She stood a moment looking from
one to another of the pile of toys, not able
at first to make up her mind which she
would give away.
Presently down she pumped upon her
knees on the hearth-rug and fell to work
| The tea-set was divided, half of the cups
| and saucers, spoons and plates, going into
one heap, half into another teapot to one,
sugar bowl to the other Daisy hesitated
| long over the cream-pitcher. At last, with
a little sigh, it was set down for 'Tim's
dirl" -f7f aas#s Sc

! ed to its feet, and turned flushed and eager
| to its mother. -.5
Mamma caught the darlingsto her arms,
with a blessing and many loving kisses
More than half the toys and pretty Christ
mas gifts had been laid aside for the poor
girl whom Daisy pitied 50 much, and no
wish to keep or take them back was allow
ed to lodge in the tender, unselfsh little
heart. iaTsesq. s8t sEas#t 5ea ns
| Washed and dressed, Daisy with her new
doll in her arms trotted down stairs to the
breakfast-room beside mamma, papa fol-
| lowing with the new chair in his hand, for
Daisy said she would 'tate one little sit in
it fore it went to Tins dirl. Sc won't
tare, will sc mamma?''
| But what was that which hung beside
the fireplace in the breakfast-room?
"Hallon' said papa, 'what great big
stocking! Full, tool Did you ever see a
stocking SO full? Santa Claus has made
avisit down this chimney, too, [ should
think. Let us see what this paper says.
For Tins girl. Daisy's stocking not big
enough. If there is any little girl here
| that is sorry for Tins girl, she may give
her all this Merry Christmas from Santa
CLAUSE
To see Daisy's eyes! Oh, what treas
ures were before her for Tins girl! One
could hardly see the stocking, large
| though it was, for all the things that were
| pinned around and over it!
A dress-anice wooden dress-two f1an-
mel petticoats, and other needful clothes,
two pair of thick, warm stockings, and a
pair of stout shoes, with a hood and
sacque. ''Tim's drip might be warm
now. ,Gb I5# aa
Nor was this ALL A tea-set and a doll,
not quite so pretty as Daisy's own, per-
haps, but very nice, were inside the stock
ing, Miss Dolly's head staring out over the
dangling garments. a
And a good suit of clothes, with warm
shoes and stockings, a cap and mittens for
Tim himself lay near
Tim was in the kitchen now, having
just finished the good breakfast which
mamma had hidden the cook to give him
this Christmas morning. So he and his
'dirP' were called upstairs, and from Dali
sy's hand they received the welcome
Christmas gifts which were to make them
warm and comfortable And the doll and
the tea-set! ''Tim's dirl" had never seen
anything SO pretty, except in the shop
windows, where she could do no more
than look and long for them; and when
she heard they were to be her own, she
forgot her manners" her brother said,
and clapped her hands and laughed aloud
with surprise and pleasure. The ba-a-
lamb, too, with the pencil-case, lady-apple
and box of candy were given to her by
Daisy, who said:
"Me an Tins dirl mus have halls an
halls. will teep all my tea-set, tause sc
has one, too. An mamma says [ better
teep de chair, tause danmamma did sem
me it; but sc mus have de lambie, to love
it an tuddle it.''
Over her breakfast Daisy paused with
uplifted spoon.
