ture as Rutbie's next morning. She
had seldom herself felt sensations
so delicious.
Happy Ruthie!
Her stocking was stuffed with
goodies enough, she said, ''for me
and all the children at home, and
the Reilly children, too"
Outside the stocking lay the yards
of blue merino, the very white 1nuff
and the tippet that had been her
secret hearts desire. A new doll
sat smiling in the friendliest way at
faithful old Joanna; tea-set with
pink roses on it was pranked forth
at her feet. at must be you, cried

pleasure, as she showered impulsive
caresses on the kind face that lean
ed to her.
Il wish I could give you such
things" she sighed.
."You have given me enough,
Mrs Crowne said, with o double
meaning, as she fingered tenderly
the little gold charm she had lied
on to please Ruthie. you have
given me your heart"
When Ruthie went home, bum
ing to share her sweets with the
household, her aunt said, Here is
something to take to your father
and mother" and gave her carefully
a yellow envelope. At first Ruth
wondered that it was only a yellow
Afterward she wondered
that SO much help and comfort
could have been contained in SO
small a space as yellow envelope.
Blessed in her giving and rich in
the love of warm, young heart
that never forgot its debt of graft

had never in her long life spent
such q real Christmas as this which
she did not mean to keep.

AUNT CROWNE.
A CHRISTMAS STORY.
Springfield Republican.


Crowne, who lived in it much of
the time alone, was slim, gaunt and
gray, too. She was looking very
severe and very straight in her
slippery, horse-halr chair, one
December afternoon. Tue minister
and bis wife had been asking help
in getting up the Christmas festiyi-
ties at the church.
Nephew" said Mrs. Crowne,
for the minister's wife was her
grand-niece, "Christmas is nonsense.
/ don't believe in it. But if you
want money here's a dollar; take
it and throw it away, for all ] care.
Only don't come near me with any
talk about your carvings on, and
don't ask me to your tree. As l
said before, I don't believein Christ
mas; I shan't keep Christmas; I
don't want to hear anything about
it."
There was no use in attempting
to gainsay Mrs. Crowne, when the
futed ruffies of her stiff cap border
took on the empathic shiver they
did now. She refused eurtly her
grand-niece's invitation to spend
Christmas day at the rectory, over
crowed all the minister's genial re-
monstranees. The pair we're fain
to bii her good-by and go down the
hill homewards having gained moth
ing warmer than Mrs. Crowne's
dollar.
That night they sat talking to-
gether when they supposed all the
children asleep. So they were, all
but part of the trundle-bed, which
was Ruthie. Ruthie was simply
too comfortable to go to sleep yet.
though she lay very still. Her hol-
low. soft and warm, fitted her just
right; she liked to hear Lucy's even
breathing and feel her cuddled so
close.
The door was open into the sit
tipg-room and a broad strip Of
light shone through it, beyond the
shadows in which the trundle-bed
stood. Ruthie played that the
shadow part wss land and the
shining part smooth river.
Dreamily soothed by the sound
of voices she lay, not listening. but
catching now and then q word.
It was something about Great-aunt
Crowne and Christmas. The word
Christmas suggested to her all sorts
of'pleasant Thoughts Of her own.
She followed them.
Hum, hum, hum,-that was
Mother Norton's voice; drum, drum,
that was her father talking. After
q while she lost track of altogether;
then suddenly she became conscious
that her father was saying:
"Poor Aunt Crowne!" eyes,
poor Aunt Crowned" echoed her
mother. "No wonder she don't
know how to keep Christmas. How
can she keep Christmas alone there2
What she needs is a child in the
house to help her. That would
bring Christmas to her, I believe.
Poor, lonely old lady. who will have
no Christmasi"
Her mothers voice was so gentle
and compassionate that Ruthie be-
gan to pity Aunt Crowne, too.
Sure enough she did have nobody
toistay with her; it must be lone
some. And sure enough Ruthie
sp'osed there could not be Christ
mas in any house if there were no
children in it to bring Santa Claus
That was why last Christmas Great
cunt Crowne had come and stayed
~ith them. But for her not to have
any Christmas this year-deai!

Ruthie slept beside the lonely
old woman all night. Mrs. Crown,
} did not sleep as soundE. Aftel
all, it was comforting, this warm
clinging presence beside her. Aftel
all, this glad. young voice in tht
dreary house was very pleasant
After all. after all, to be loved ano
cared for was sweet.
She had thought herself independ.
ent of such things; past caring tol
them. Now she knew that the hun
ser for love had only been drugged.
Ruthie's kiss and laugh woke her
at morning, and the table was set
for two.
"Now, let nae help you get ready
for Christmas" she begged, when
the breakfast dishes were set away.
"Shant we trim the house to-day?
May ]. please?" What would her
mother have said to see Aunt
Crowne that day? Ruthie brought
in sprays of the laurel and bemlock
that grew in sight of the windows.
She might arrange them as she
would, and where she could not
reach Mrs. Cruwne placed them
obediently where she preferred.
even standing on a chair to deck
the antique mirror. Ruthie became
more and more confidential. She
told all her Christmas secrets, and
one or two of her mammals, for she
knew about the shawl her mother
had robbed herself of to cut up for
a Christmas gift to the poor Reilly
children. "And made dress for
the baby with some pieces I wanted
dreffully to make nay dolly q dress
of for her Christmas" went on
Ruthie.
At this Mrs. Crowne opened q
closet door and brought oat deep
box full of pieces. you may have
any of these for your dolly" she
said.
Ruthie flew and hugged her. 81
love you," she cried impulsively.
And tears came to the tall woman's
faded eyes, and an actual flush to
Ter gray cheek. How long it had
been since she had made anybody
SO enthusiastically happy! How
long since anybody had said to her,
81 love you'll"
I'D rather have this than any,"
Ruth decided, pulling out piece of
blue merino, because Allie Brown
has that kind, and a white muff
and tippet she wears to Sunday
School, aunt-just as cunninl I
should think she'd be perfectly
happy. I know my Joannall be;
shall have to go home and get
Joanna; but I won't stay; I'll come
right back"
True enough, the child was not
long. She only stayed to tell her
mother all about it, and submit one
problem:
Aunt says that Santa Claus
don't know her, and won't put any
thing in her stocking. May have
some things and drop 'em in my
self. 'sposing he shouldn't"
Did the two stockings really hang
up together? Indeed they did.
Ruthie fastened the long gray one
beside her short striped stocking,
on Christmas eve. Its owner pre-
tended to be quite deaf and blind
to certain sly rustlings about this
when her back was oblig-
ingly turned. Ruthie had chosen
from her own best treasures for Mrs.
Crowne's stocking; the story book
she liked most, her freshest ribbon.

But when, in spite of the joyful
