her busy mind full Of beggars turning
into Princes, she ran.
And now before We proceed further let
us examine our characters. Miss Merritt,
o maiden lady, the eldest daughter OF
Henry Merit. When her father died,
and she was yet In mourning, news came
OF her sister marrying young man,
poor, yet who loved her. She begged
her sisters forgiveness, II not for her
for their little child. Miss Merit sent
letter, cold and chilling. denouncing
them all.
II am your sister, you should have
asked me-" she said; "a marriage OF
love, indeed; for such / have no honor.
And,r she continued, 81 shall never
love or befriend the wife or child OF
Horace Montgomery"
Z And so she wrote words cold and un-
feeling. The picture painted of his
wife and his little child with golden
hair did not prevail on her. But three
years later, when they brought Helen's
little girl to her, she took the little
orphan and promised TO love her. Who
could help 1t?

were held Consultations included) that
the smaller ones could hardly imagine
what could be going on, but at last their
minds were set at rest by Willie, who
said he thought they were writing let
tets-to Santa Claus
twas the custom Of each one TO write
a letter 10 Santa Claus, from papa down
to little Ralph, whose numerous wants
were chanted In mamma's ear, who took
particular care to note each one, even
though the majority Of them were
rather outrageous, such as "toy
monkey what's bigger'n Uncle Toms
horse"
Amidst the Joy and laughter, when
excitement rcigned among the children,
Mr. Branton slipped quietly away. In
the midst Of an exciting game the sound
Of q bell came from somewhere In the
region OF the artificial fireplace, and
little Ralph dropped his TOY blocks and
looked up at Madge with such a happy,
excited look that she kissed the flushed
checks and said; Eyes, you little rascal
Santa Claus is coming"
Sure enough, bounced bangl slaml
came iolly-loolting Santa Claus down
queer sort OF a chimney, and after a
vigorous attempt at blowing his nose,
described his long and tedious journey
10 the excited audience who were listen
ing With noiseless anxiety when the
weli-known voice Of the smallest mem
Der Of the assembly broke the silence
by saying: 30, Santa Claus, did you
| get my letter."
Sect your letter. Let me see," he
said, as he fumblcd around in the large,
roomy pocket and flshed out rather
crumplcd piece Of paper, with Ralph's
letter written on II, In the delicate
handwriting Of the "mother-bird."
"Did you get mine, too?" asked one
and all OF the children, as the excite
ment began 10 deepen. He displayed
them all, even Bertha's that had beon
sent of In such a hurry. VIZ
Then one by one, Santa Claus handed
out the we'll filled stockings, and oh, how
mysteriously beautiful 1t did seem 70

after another the tired Santa Clauses
hurried home laden withpresents. Each
seemed intent on his or her own affairs
and failed to notice little girl who was
standing, looking SO longingly, SO in
tently, at q beautiful doll In one Of the
store windows. A shawl of thin ma
terial was closely wrapped around her
shiyering body, and two thin hands
tightly clasped rag-baby held up to
the window, for even she was supposed
to take an interest in the Christmas
goods. As for the little girl, every
thing was SO beautiful, SO bcwildoring,
that even Jack Frost could not force the
little figure away from the attractive
window. Dinah, however, was getting
cold, for her black woolly hair was grad
ually turning into white crop, which
very much worried her little mother,
"we must be going, Dinah, dear"
she said, as she tenderly tucked her
baby under the shawl. "It's 80 awful

he said, and he looked at the empty
sleeve OF blue which hung in honor
from his shoulder. Then followed q
brief history OF the "old-time saint" A
hasty address was written, and, with .
strong arm holding her close to him
self, he said: Tomorrow at half-past

A pair Of blue eyes beamed with joy
