how great sacrifice each one had madS
with their unequal talents. But time
was flying, and ''mother-bird" was in q
hurry, SO no more was said, and the big
front door slammed Christmas good
bye to the shoppers.
"Time's flying and fingers, too, at the.

nine stockings hanging up at the hearth

Mr.. Branton's smart pranks. He always
does find room for some stray lamb
around Christmas time"
"Yes, he is setting us an example,"
replied her neighbor, feeling justified in
saying 1t, as she had invited the washer
woman's boy over to her home to share
the Christmas turkey and partake Of the
plum pudding, which just at that par
ticular moment was browning in the
oven. But must not linger too long
with the neighbors, for guess my read
ers must be in hurry to take peep at
Mr.. Branton's home.
In q large room decked with ever
greens and made deliciously comforta-
BILE by glowing fire of red Goals that
lighted the room in crimson bars Of
radiance, they were all gathered to-
gether, apparently playing game; all
but little Ralph, who was closely exam
lining the artificial chimney "what San
ia Claus was doin' to come froo."
The smiles that lighted each face with
Christmas happiness never lessened
throughout the evening. Here happi-
ness reigned, and If the goddess of hap
piness had bestowed her richest blessings
on the little circle their hearts could not
have overhowed any more than they did
on that Christmas eve in the home of
Mr.. Branton.
