year ago, and sTe remembered overy cir.
cumstance connected with that fateful
Christmas eve. On and on went the train.
After awhile they entered the suburbs
Of great smoky city, for now it WAS broad
daylight, and even the sun was trying to
come up, and she could see the intermina-
BILE row after row of houses, with the
smoke from their chimneys curling up
ward in the still air. Presently they came
up to another station, and she heard a
voice back on the train call out "Grand
avenue"
"Grand avenuel Grand avenuel" whis-
pered the Spirit of Steam as it came in
through the cab window and wrapped her
in its arms. "This is your place Come
down the steps and will hold you in my
arms"
And when the old engine pulled out from
the station, and Jack and Dick foind their
strange passenger missing, they looked at
each other, but said never word.
And Fay was standing In snowdrift.
It was very cold, and she followed two
men going up over the hill. She remem-
bered Grand avenue and the kind old gen.
tleman who had told her to run home, but
how could she find her way? And while
she was thinking, and her fingers and toes
were growing cold and her lip was be-
ginning to tremble, she heard the chimes
of the church and saw the spire that the
kind old gentleman had pointed out to
her, and away she went on the wings of
the windl
In fact, the wind would have to have
very large wings and work them with pro-
digious force to 40 half as fast as shs did,
ana when she did get into the yard of the
old house 1t seemed "a IL she would never
be able to reach the door, for Fido would
not Let her by, but just pushed her down
and played with her and kissed her and
just barked and barked till he cried. And
when she couldn't get the door open and
ran and knocked on the window, and saw
papa and mamma sitting by a Christmas
tree just Like the one year before, and
they both sprang up and screamed and ran
to the door, and she felt their loving en-
braces and tender kisses, her heart ran
over with tears Of love and happiness.
All, but wasn't that Christmasl It
would take thousand yule logs to equal
in Fay's eyes the little lighted tapers hang
ing from the limbs of the evergreen tree;
1t would take hundreds Of wassail bowls
70 compare with the sugar plums and can
dies that delighted her eyes, And then
the dolls, and the wonderful watches with
real hands, and the tin tigers and lions
that looked SO fierce you could hardly
recognize them, and the candy mice and
pigs that deserved to be eaten and met
their deserts, and Noah's ark, with so
many animals that you could not tell what
half Of them were, and ever so many won
derful things besidesl
And when at last she lay SO sweetly rest
full in mammals arms, with papa looking
fondly down, every bell in the city seemed
to know it and shouted out the glad It'd
ings as loud as its brazen throat could yell,
only gradually quieting down in its excess
of joy to join at the close in the harmonious
refrain-"Peace on earthl Peace on earth"

When the trainmen reached the end of
of their division they learned that two
freight wrecks had caused demand for
crews, and so they were ordered to con-
tinue straight through to St. Louis.
Want of sleep the night before had had
its effect upon their strange passenger, and
not till they were again whirling away
across the country did a little form rise in
the corner and a little voice come forth
through the dusk, saying:
"Is it Christmas YETI"
"No, my little lady" said Jack Burns as
he and Dick turned quickly and looked at
her. "Who are you, how did you get here,
and where are you going?"
Il am Fay" said the little girl, land the
Spirit of Steam helped me up on the engine
here, and am going home.
Il am very hungry" she added present.
ly, land | haven't had anything to eat
since drank some milk long before came
here"
Before she finished speaking the choice
OF Dicks lunch basket was before her. A
good supper was soon finished, and the
cold rain and sleet outside, Joined to the
warm blaze of the coal inside, caused the
eyes to droop, and soon she was curled up
in the corner asleep again.
"Well, it does knock me out" said Dick.
What do you think it means anyhow"
Il don't know" said Jack dreamily.
'There is something uncanny about it all.
She will unfold her wings and quietly
fly out the window before we know it, !
guess"
1t was nearly daylight when little Fay
opened her eyes and sat up. 1t was snow
ing, and the flakes were coming down thick
and fast. and the sight made her heart leap
for Joy. 1.-The weather was lust like that Of

in the snow. and bounded up again, and
ran scurrying off, saying as plainly as he
could that he knew something delightful
was at hand.
Fay had seen the Christmas tree and
had been told how wonderfully beautiful
it would be on the morrow, with its light
ed tapers and wonderful presents, and
fancy had pictured a paradise, and little
five-yearold Fay was surely the happiest
child in grim old smoky st. Louis.
Ibid you know Christmas is coming
tomorrow, sir?" she asked the white
haired old man as she skipped along by
his side
why, to be sure it isl To be sure it isl"
said he as an unwonted glow warmed up
his heart again, and they walked along
several blocks while she told him over and
over again what she was going to have on
the Christmas tree. Presently he said
turning to her:
Where do you live, little one2"
"At Twenty-fifth street and Cleveland
avenue" said she glibly.
"Well, you had better run home," said
he; here we are at Grand avenue, and
papa and mamma will grow uneasy if
their little one stays out too late, and it Is
already growing dusk. Yonder is that
church, you see; keep your eye on that, and
you can find your way home"
And as he saw her with a goodby go
dancing through the snow he went on to
his own home, the happier for the short
CLINT of sunshine from the little ones curls
Grand avenuel Grand avenuel have
never been 30 far as Grand avenue beforep
and she almost ran into a decrepit old
woman bent with age who was plodding
through the now binding snowstorm.
Hello little golden curlsl Where are
you going this EVENING"" she asked.
Going home to our Christmas tree,"
said little Fay as she clapped her hands
gayly. Won't you come and go with me?"
"Oh, no; have more beautiful one.
Come and see mine," said the old woman,
while her eyes gazed keenly at the neck
lace little Fay wore
II must hurry home." said Fay. II live
down on Cleveland avenue and Twenty
fifth street."
"That is just where am going" said
the little old woman, $50 we will go along
together" And asking about the Christ
mas tree she started Fay to talking, while
they went on and on and on, and it kept
growing darker and darker till they could
scarcely see each other, and Fay asked il
they were not almost there, and the old
woman said, "Yes, they were, and then she

But neither had any explanation to Of
fer. Each in his heart thought perhaps it
was warning Of coming danger or some
sort of supernatural visitation to watch
over them, and determined to keep the
little one on the engine to the end Of their
run, If possible. Careful examination,
which showed weak piston rod and gave
opportunity to repair it, and the sight of
an open switch, which saved the train,
confirmed them both in their opinion, and
the little waif slept on undfsturbed.
