"Ting-a-ling-ling!" went Grandpa
Mayo's door-bell Grandma heard it,
and because Bridget was having day
out and there was no one else in the
house but grandpa, she opened the
door herself. There stood little boy,
who was just standing on tiptoe to
ring the bell q second time-a very
little boy in new knickerbockers new
jacket and new fur cap, who looked
for all the world as though he had just
come out of band-box.

off her spectacles and wiping them
and putting them on again. ''How do
you do little boy? Won't you come

The little boy didn't answer a word.
Indeed, you might have thought he
acted very strangely, for he put one
hand tight over his mouth and made a
queer little gurgling noise. But he
followed grandma in through the hall
TO tbe studv.
GRANDPA was in the study reading
the latest paper, but he laid it down
and took off his spectacles as his small
visitor entered.

Grandma thought it did, by the low
ing way she opened the tiny tissue
paper parcel which Teddy gave her;
and was almost as sure he saw a tear
drop upon the yellow curl within it,
