"A Christmas present for met" murmured
Marsh, an hour later. hitching up his horse
in the shed to a sled to take the boys home.
All, me! they're in airnest too, and I sort
of %misjudged EN-. Many a year since I got
a present! Mercy me! Ib'lieve I'm a blub-
bering!"
Anyway. he gave his strange guests a
royal feast on nuts and apples. and drove
them home through the storm.
At both farm-houses-the Dobbins as
well as the Wallace homestead-he held a
mysterious conference with the parents of
the boys ere he bade them goodnight.
A singular thing happened the next morn
ing. When Ned Wallace went to put on his
shoes something ratified in them; likewise
in those of Paul Dobbins.
Ned removed the DISTINCTIONS ten-dollar
gold piece; likewise did Paul-Silas Marsh's
Christmas gift.
And later on 10 friend took more interest
IN guiding them in their woodland expedi-
lions than Silas Marsh. Their honest
Christmas gift had won his devotion, and
warmed the heart of the miser woodcutter's
cherries. frozen life.

Tom looked out through the frosted Danes

I'm afraid I can't find any more wood to-

As softly as he could, Tom began breaking

Tom, separating the worn lcathrrfrom the

forcibly.

notice in the little %peddlar's ensemble tina
bleak Christmas Eve.
The roads were frozen tight; the sidewalk
boards snapped like fire-crackers. Above
in the cruelty clear sky the moon looked
like an ~unscabbered scimeter blade. Gilt
tering daggers flashed from the stars and
cut the air into blasts as sharp as wolves
teeth. The quivering particles of frozen
moisture looked like bits of broken glass.
Oh! but it was cold!
Angels! Angels! Here's your an-gels!"
It was Il queer cry, but not queer enough
to attract the attention Of passers-by. What
right had freezing. starving Tom Newton to
expect the rich and comfortable and muffled-
up people. hurrying to coy homes with
armfuls of presents, to get chilled inspect
ing his paltry stock of goods?
Angels; gold, silver. red, white, blue!"
Angels they were. in miniature, a score or
more of them. To Tom they were beautiful.
Had not his crippled father fashioned the
smiling face and cherub form out of wax,
and pale. invalid sister Elsa dressed and
decorated them in their cheerless tenement
house room all hat day?
They meant food and warmth and medi-
cine. if sold. Toms heart grew respondent
as the hours went by. No one wanted
angels to hang on Christmas trees. Oh! if
some real good, true angel would only lead
them to want them.
The crowds began to thin out. Tom grew
colder and colder. He took up his basket at
last with a dreary sigh.
"Oh, MY"
Little Toms heart went out in a gasp. He
reached down toward a fat, bloated pocket
book lying in the snow, so fat and SO
bloated that the ends ofseveral bills showed
at one end.
Here. boy! lost that"
The sharp tones belonged to a richly
dressed woman. and she fairly grabbed the
wallet from Toms hands.
Yes, ma'am. I'd have given it to you, if
I know'd it was yours, without your ask
ing. Angels. ma'am, please buy onc!"
How much?" came the vinegarish de-
mand.
Only a dime"
"Illgive you five cents for one for your
honesty" And she passed Tom a nickel,
the best image, and swept on in all
her meanness and comfort.
Tom did not look very grateful, but he
was encouraged, and he shouted out his /
wares more vigorously than ever as he
passed the last block Of stores between the
place and home.
"She broke my bad luck. anyway"
Tom. I've sold three more. I
guess there's no use trying any more,
Now, for Elsa's Christmas"
Poor Tom! He counted more on Elsa's

who had been a curious listener to the
rapid conversation, stared after him with a
sharp We'll. I never saw such a boy!"
"Oh, he's all right" smiled Mr.. Wallace.
You know, last haying-time I promised
him one of the little gobblers for work he
did. The gobbler is a full-grown fowl now,
and Ned claims it. He has some idea of
selling it and buyin. himself a pair of skates
or a sled. I suppose"
1t was W hours later when Ned surprised
his father still more, however. by revealing
no such selfish intentions regarding the
turkey.
He appeared with the son of the nearest
farmer, a boy Of his own age, Paul Dobbins.
