An odd tremulousness in her brothers
voice struck Miss Jane, and she turned
sharply around.

Miss Jane didn't answer. She was
very busy stirring the potatoes. But
presently she pushed the pan to the
back of the stove, and taking her shawl
and hood down from peg on the
kitchen door, said in muffled voice,
as she tied the strings of the hood under
her chin:

(Meanwhile the bells, for miles around, start
ringing altogether)
With shouts of merriest laughter and with
sounds Of me-riest singing,
(Be sure, whate'er you do, to keep the joyful

And Christmas trees enough to fill forest,
decked with berries,
Some creamy white and some as red as sum

And stockings of all sizes and all hues set
gently swinging
From chimney shelves. (And, mind. don't let
the gladstone bells stop ringing.)

Good things you find take plenty, for you can

And help yourself to sweets and toys for some

or in cellar
TO whose pale cheek the sight OF them will
flush of joy be bringing

And friendly wishes, happy smiles-in fact, all

but, for wonder, Jane spoke no word
of blame or criticism.
They went together into the L-room
where the two little girls were asleep,
but were scarcely over the threshold
when they stopped short, for, by the
light of small lamp on the mantel,
they saw a sight which moved them
both deeply. Under the mantel hung
two gray hand-knit stockings packed
full.
Miss Jane did not venture to look at
her brother as she went forward and
emptied the stockings. From Prue's
she took an old case knife, an anti
Quated bead pin cushion, an almanac, a
china dog-which belonged to the
spare room mantle-a lamp mat and a
toilet bottle. From Rebecca's, a match
safe, a shell box, a photograph frame,
hair brush, broken ink bottle, and a
battered silver cup that was relic of
Miss James babyhood.
SWELL! never in all my born days!'
she CALCULATED under her, breath.
''Reuben, look here!''
But Reuben, finding his emotion not

cred cough, had gone back to the
kitchen. Miss Jane found him there ten
minutes later sitting by the stove with
his hands over his face. He looked up
as she entered.

eye got enough, dear knows! re-
joined Miss Jane, pretending to search
in the corner cupboard for something
which could not be found. They'll be
as pleased in the mornin' as two
crickets.'
The establishment and delight of the
two little girls when they walked in the
morning and found their gifts can better
be imagined than described; aud there
were no'happier children in the old
district schoolhouse the following Mon
day than the two whose pretended
Christmas had become wonderful
reality -B. Hollowell, in Christian

that draughty place.
Reuben followed her out, and a mo-
ment later they stood side by side at
the door of the hen-house. The pres
ents had all been taken from the tree,
and Rebecca was talking eagerly.
NOW, you see what splendid plan
it was, Prue. I'm so glad l happened
to think of it. Now, on Monday we can
say we had a Christmas tree, m you can
say you got a tidy, m a book, n a beau
tiful stone that you mean to use for a
paper weight; and will tell all got.
An it'll all be true, Prue-that's the
best of it. An nobody'll ever know in

odd-looking little creatures, for their
dark wooden dresses came down below
their ankles, and on their heads were
thick wOrsted hoods, while each was
wrapped in big blanket shawl, tied at
the back.
They were used to the cold, and they
didn't mind it in the least, and just now
they forgot all about it in their absorb

discussing.

Rebecca was about to reply, but
what she would have said will never be
known, for at that moment tall,
angular woman, with thin face, and
iron-gray hair drawn tightly back from
her temples, came around the side OF
the house.
''How many times have got to tell
