been a very busy one to Helen, and a
happy one as we'll: for hers was n of
those sweet and loving natures that
find JOY in the reflected happiness OF
others.
She had caused the widows heart to
sing for joy" and this consciousness
had brought into her own great peace
All the younger members of the
family had gone out to some entertain
men. Helen had wanted to have a little
talk with her father, but a stranger was
with him, so the servant said. and, with
a lonely feeling in her heart, she went
up to her own room.
DIR. Byrne came up almost Immediate
ly. There was q strange light in his
eyes, and more than usual tenderness
and solemnity in his manner, as he laid
his hand on Helcn's head
"How is it with thee tonight, daugh-
ter?"
1T is well, father"
After night, the morning; after win
ter, the spring. God is often kinder to
us thar we can even ask or think"
'lIe is very good, father"
DIR. Byrne drew his daughters arm
within his.
Come into my study, Helen, and get
your New Years gift. Because you
have forgotten yourself in caring for
others, did you think your old father
is going to forget you?"
'Oh, no, papa; but you gave it to me,
you remember, in money. | didn't *
pect anything-indeed, | don't think
You ought to give me anything more"
"Well, well, my child, just come and
look at it. If you don't want it, or
would prefer its equivalent in money.
you can tell me So"
With silent wonder in her heart, not
u~nmingled with curiosity, Helen stood
at the half open study door.
The shaded light upon her fathers
desk revealed the faint outline of a man
who was standing near it, and who ad-
vanced eagerly toward her.
Helen looked up, bewildered, into the
face Of the man she had mourned as
dead, and then, with a faint cry of joy.
threw herself into the arms that had
opened to receive her.
DR.. Byrne almost regretted his pre-
cipitancy as he looked upon his daugh
ter's pale face. But JOY does not often
kill, and his fears were entirely dissi-

ried out to his wagon and drove
away, leaving Mrs. Oakley greatly
puzzled. Surely there must be
some mistake, she thought. But no; the
packages were all plainly marked:

painted: "Dick Oakley" In the paper
box was a French doll with real hair
and eyes that closed when she was laid
down. A little card attached to it was
marked: Margaret" There was also
a ball marked Robbie" and such lots
of candy and pretty things for all. The
stockings were soon filed to the very
tops, and the other things laid out on a
table, where the children found them
the next morning.
There was a joyful meeting around
the breakfast table, but Mrs. Oakley's
face wore a puzzled expression. Finally
she asked: where could all those
things have come from?'
why, mamma" said Margaret,

lived
This made the matter clear enough to
the children, but only deepened the
mystery for the father and mother.
In the afternoon, when full Justice
had been done to the turkey, Margaret
sat holding her beautiful new doll.
Dick was out drawing his sled through
the streets, and Robbie was asleep, a
summons came from the front door.
AS Mrs. Oakley went to answer it she
found there a tall, bearded man, who
inquired for Mr.. Oakley. She led him
to the little sitting-room where her hus-
band sat propped up with pillows in
mis- armchair. The caller went
straight to HIM, seized his thin hand
and asked: flames, don't you know
your old friend Tom Raymond?" 1t
was indeed the friend and playmate of
his early days.
But how did you find me?n inquired
Mr.. Oakley.

Now some of you doctors explain that
if you can. My wife Eats better, has
EAore nerve, more vitality every way.
The children do not worry her half as
much as they used to. She gets along
with less fretting at the servants. Can
it be because worry and fret her less?
Is there anything to that old sore about

the events Of their boyhood. They had
sat together in school; together they
had climbed the hills and hunted SPUR
rels. gathered nuts and rowed their
boats on the broad Hudson.
AS the talk went on a suspicion grew
upon Mrs. Oakley of the manner in
which Santa Claus happened to send
the presents. But the visitor gave DC
clcw to the mystery, nor did she see
through it until Margaret had told her
the whole story of her letter to Santa
