Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian, in
behalf of Ahasuerus, the Persian, now
slipped out of bed. He stole among the
gay shadows of early morning in the
stocking-row. He made number three
and number four change places. Then
he stole back to his side Of the couch
where he slept with the enterprising
Persian.
''Harkr' he said. Was it the wind
moaning hard around the house, or some
creatures distant howl down in the
swamp by the dark bayou, or far-off
drum-roll from early Christmas rejoic-
ings?

It was the beautiful Christmas spirit
of forgiveness cherished by Nebbie that
put him at ease with all mankind and
all his earthly surroundings, and he fell
into deep, grateful slumber. Sleep is

could not sleep. "Tink won stop fur

Hazhie trembled. He knew the mean
ing of this. The decision would affect
the size of his Christmas stocking and
also its contents. The two boys would
generally spend the night before Christ
mas with Uncle Solomon and Auntie
Chloe, receive a stockingful from Christ
mas-land per Santa Claus express, and
then go home after breakfast Christmas
morning. One year Auntie Chloe made
a mistake and hung up one of her stock
ings for the boys. 1t fell to Hazhie, and
wasn't it big one!
"She am mad now, unused this gloomy
young Persian. "She won't glib me her
stockin' dis year."
No, Ahasuerus, Auntie Chloe has
taken stocking such as mortals of
ordinary measurement wear! Indeed,
both of the boys stockings to be filed
by Santa Claus were of the same size,
but what difference there was in the
contents! Nebbie's was selected with
special care. The boys, though, knew
nothing positively about their stockings
save this, that Nebbie's stocking occu-
pied the third place in the stocking-row

Another minute and her sable face
was awry with indignation. Ahasuerus,
or Hazhie, as he was generally called,
had thrown Nebuchadnezzar down-Neb-
bic, for Shorthand Hazhie was kicking
Nebbie.
Auntie Chloe marched at once to the
battle-ground. She separated the boys
and sent them into the cabin. Then
she sat in Judgment upon that humiliat-
ing scene. Hazhie was the stronger and
less tractable boy, envious and cruel.
Nebbie was q bunch of generous nature,
and his weaker frame often fell victim
to his cousins assaults. When Auntie
Chloe had special largess to bestow, or
a special wrong to redress, she used the
boys full names.

Auntie Chloe.
Up and down went Nebbie's head.

did not know about making so small the
terms of Ahasuerus' payment.

later.

"Oh-oh-bugglers!" shrieked Auntie
Chloe, pulling the bed-clothes over her
head. "Sol'mun, jes' 60 an see."
1t was the last thing Uncle Solomon
wished to do, as staying in bed and hol-
lering were far more convenient, but he
obeyed his wife. Hazhie looked up.
What was it, that tall figure in white
that he saw?
"Old Santie" he groaned, and fled
for his bed.
Uncle Solomon was startled. He saw
something white and spectral fitting
over the floor in the moonlight, and
prudently, tremblingly, went back to
bed.
"Who date" inquired Auntie Chloe.
Uncle Solomon was dumb. Auntie
Chloe shook him.
"Sufin' in white!' snapped out Uncle
Solomon.
Auntie Chloe did not shake again.
"Dat am Santie," she whispered. With

On Christmas Day, at dinner time, Old Santa
sought the city,
And changed the things from house to house,
laughed, danced and sang ditty.
And when, the Christmas dinner DER, the old
man sought his room,
The phantom change perplexed his mind with
JOY and awe and gloom.
And when, the Christmas dinner DER, the lassie
sought her room,
No pack Of fre-crackers e'er created such q
boom.
She laughed. she cried and few about, jumped
high upon a stool,
And said: 1T is not Christmas Day; it must
be April Fool"
Now, when the old man thinks Of it, his
thoughts are very hazy,
he hardly knows just what to think while sure
he was not crazy.
And when the lassie thinks Of it, her thoughts
are very may;
Sic hardly knows just what to say-the pretty
