He had noticed, too. how confidingiy Ally
had nestled in the kind arms OF her new
friend, and he felt that the instincts of a

He hastily opened a grand piano that
stood back in the shadows, lighted the cam
dies. and placed a pile Of music before her
marked with the nameof Alison Penfold."
Dorothy picked out one called "A Year
Ago." and "a she sang tears splashed heavi-
ly down upon her little white hands. The
words touched her so deeply.
As sic concluded, tie sweet clear voice
falteTed and ended in a sob. Pierce bent
over her compassionately, saying:
Poor child. / fear the o has stirred
sad thoughts in you Play this one for me-"
He put a song In front of her and sang
out jovially.
While he sang, Dorothy heard another
sound. shrill and heart-piercing-a child's
terrified cry. She flew up the stairs to the
pretty bedchamber where she had placed
the child.
Ally was standing trembling with fright
at the bottom Of tie bed. At sight Of Dor.
othy she few to her with outs;re,ched arms,
crying:
'Oh, Miss Snow, l have been so very
frightened. A dreadful woman, all In black,
like a DOGGY, came and woke me by kissing
me with cold lips. Then when i cried out

mucl, 50 eat, l expect, and it has made you
have one Of your foolish dreams. Hush now,
let ne put you to bed, you'll take cold"
The feeble light OF the lamp showed the
anxious face OF the Old lady, and the fright
ened fac. Of the child. Ally repeated hel
tale. Agnes shook her head and seemed
vexed, for she said sharply:
ALWAYS the same foolish fancy, Ms
Ally; how many times have l told you it i
bat a dream?'
'She Is too young 10 understand the mean

''When she wakes In the morning, Agnes,
do not question her, leave her TO tell her
story at her " time. Only make her feel
welcome here; remember il Is Christmas
time, when lie, who was the Spirit Of Chari-
ty, was born amongst us. The girl has a
good sweet face, and is habited like a lady.
Let that suffice let her understand we see
no wrong In her, and she will then trustu u.s.
"Come, Ally" he said to the child, 'let
me wrap you in this. and take you to bed.
You puss, 1t Is almost what you call morn
ing time"
The child allowed her father to wrap her
up snugiy, but protested against going to
bed directly minute"
She was cold, she said, and wanted some
neCus and mlnce-pie like Agnes had got for
papa.
And as usual she had her own way, and
sat on the rug By Drifts side till she fell fast
asleep, her pretty dark head Graded on his
warm coat.
Then with a CHEEKY good nigh, Pierce
picked her up and carried her TO her little
bed. As he laid her down she whispered
drowsily:
Papa, will Santa Claus bring the pretty
lady q present to put In her stocking? See
she hangs il out-I have mine. Kiss me
goodnight"
The dark lashes swept the rosy cheek.
and in q second the dear little one slept
and dreamt Of benefcent Christmas fairies,
fine gifts, and Christmas cheer.
Pierce thought Of her words. Why should
rot the poor outcast be remembered kindly
by him?
He picked . bit O. holly, all ruddy berries,
and hastily going to the best parlor, he pick
ed his only flower, . Christmas-rose grow
In q terra-cotta pot painted with swallows
and wild roscs.
This ne bound together with . piece Of
cord. and sat down to write Christmasr
card.
