Half an hour afterward on my return. l
heard cries of joy. I entered and my
children rushed to me and kissed me.
The older one exclaimed in the midst OF
her kisses: Thank you, dear papa,
thank you'll And the little one: Thank
YOU, papa, thank your Thank you?
For what? And while was wondering
for what they could thank meme, who
had given them nothing, they ran into
the next room and came back with
magnificent doll--an indcstructible
doll! Oh! heavens! understood then!
They had come in during my absence
and seen in the corner the bundle ]
had laid down. 1t was the shape of the
large doll of their dreams, and they
thought it was my New Years gift.
They had undone the parcel and were
soon in possession of the doll. l ought
to have snatched it from their hands
crying: That is not for you-it is not
for you. 1t does not belong to us. 1t is
for some other little girls But they
were so happy! Oh! If you had seen
their joy! With what big eyes they
looked at their baby and devoured her

the package. But could neither speak
to the owner nor to the cashier, they
were so busy just at that moment, and
then, was afraid. was really afraid.
This morning decided to come and tell
sou all about it--confess everything.
Madame, beg of you not to complain
of me at the store. They know nothing
about it and think you have received it.
l have the reputation always of being
an honest man. ! shall get my pay in
few days, and will swear to you that
! will bring you doll exactly like tie
one which my children kept-in per-
feet innocence, l assure you"
The door bell rang. 1t was the good
friend back again. "They say positive
ly," said he, that the doll was sent yes
terday morning"
THAT is true" said the mother.
"Well, where is she them"
SIN the hands of some little girls not
quite so fortunate as these. Isn't that
it, Martha, Jeanne, Yvonne?"
The eldest answered.: Eyes, we have
given it away" and the two little ones
echoed: I'VE have given it away"
And all together they rushed from the
room, to return a few moments later
with the dinner set, which they thrust
upon the father, saying: 'Give this
to your little girls from us"
The good friend understood nothing
of all this. Afterward, when they told
him the story, he looked up the mans
references, and finding them excellent.
he gave him work.
And he gave to his little friends an
other indcstructible doll. For, al
though it is well to teach children to do
good, they ought not to regret having
done it; not until later will they learn
that one gives doubly when one makes
q sacrifice.
The two indestructible dolls have
neither heads nor legs now-but that
only verities this story.-Translated

day with his mother in the country.
But as Jeanne on this I'd of January
broke her fourth plate the bell rang
Martha left her book, Jeanne her din
ner set, Yvonne her corner, and al
three in a row waited anxiously. The
good friend appeared. They rush al
him, embracing him, perhaps a little
absent-mindedly, looking all around
him. OF course he has the baby; per
haps he is dragging it by limb. No
he is alone-quite alone; nothing in his
pockets, nothing behind him.
Martha and Jeanne, being big girls
made faces, but did not dare to cry, bu,
the little one, who had not yet &C
quired a respect for conventionalities
could not help it and began: "And the
indestructible doll?"
"Well, are you pleased with it? Is il
large enough?"
Astonished and perplexed, they look
at him; at their mother, who says:
"Your baby must have stopped on the
way, for she has not arrived. You don't
know what life these children have
led me-"
what? I bought her day before yes
terday evening, and they promised tc
send her yesterday morning"
"You must have given the wrong ad
dress"
Not at ALL"
''Then there is some mistake"
"Probably. Give me half an hour
children, and I will bring your baby
back again, dead or alive"
He fed. The smiles returned to the
children's faces. Yvonne pouted nc
longer, but helped Jeanne to break her
plates. Ten minutes elapsed, then an
other ring at the bell. The good friend
could not have returned so soon; it was
probably some visitor. No, the mail
entered and said: 'There is man who
wishes to speak to madame"
what does he want?"
''He did not say, but it seemed to be
something very important"
"Where is he?"
SIN the reception ROOM"
Every well. will speak to him"
She rose, went out of the parlor,
leaving the door open, and advanced
toward the stranger who was waiting
there. He was a man of 40 years, with
a sweet, sad smile, his bearing was
modest, self-respecting.
what do you wish? What have you
TO say to me?"
MADAME, I want to explain to you,
but it will be little long"
$50 on, I am listening"
So, with a trembling voice, which
gradually grew stronger, speaking
quickly, very quickly, as if he were in
hurry to get through:
Madame, last year at this time was
clerk in a banking house. My salary
enabled me to live and support my wife
and two little girls, and as the house in
which l worked seemed prosperous.
and the greater part of the employees

course of the year the house stopped

the library with their mother. Add
the ages of the three and you will have
just 80 years. The last-the little one
was only eight, the second nine, but
the eldest, who was 13, restored the
equilibrium and made the average ten
years a head.
1t was the I'd of January, and the
room was filled with great picture
books with gilded edges, with dolls and
with toys. Martha, the eldest, seated
on a cushion, looked at book posed on
her mothers knee. The knees of q
mother serve as a table, a chair or d
refuge to little girls; even when they
grow big. very big, they are not
ashamed to climb them-perhaps when
they wish to tease-and does their
mother ever find them too heavy?
The second daughter was counting
the plates of a wonderful porcelain din
ner set, which she had spread upon the
floor. 1t was no longer a full set, how
ever, for she had broken three of the
plates since morning.
The little one, instead of playing,
sulked in a corner. Why does she sulli
on the I'd of January? It's not natural,
with all these beautiful surroundings.
And the other two sisters are listening
to every noise outside, and start toward
the door when the bell rings. Can they
be hoping for more gifts?
Yes; a gift which they long for most
evidently, which they have seen in their
dreams for two weeks, gift promised
them by friend who has known them
all their lives. who loves them with all
his heart.
a little while before New Years he
had called them to him and said
"Whatshall give you for New Year's?''
They had expected the question and
had an answer ready. With one voice
and as one man they made answer:
IAN indestructible doll"
IAN indestructible doll3" he repeat
ed. II will remember it. You shall
each have your indestructible doll"
''Oh, no." cried Jeanne, "they would
be too small; we want one, only one,
but a big one, as tall as this, as tall as
Yvonne."
"But are there any?"
ayes, indeed; we've seen them"
"And you will all play with the same
doll?"
"Yes," replied Martha, the eldest. 81
shall be grandmother, Jeanne the
mother and Yvonne the aunt"
"What a charming family! You shall
have your indestructible doll, my dears,
MS tall as this. early in the morning, on
New Years day."
But on New Years day, neither in the
morning or the evening, did the indc-
structible doll arrive.
ut seems to be the invisible doll, not
the indestructible doll" said their
mother, who herself felt the chagrin
and disappointment of her children.
How could the good friend have forgot
ten them so? 1t was extraordinary for
him. If he were still in Paris she might
write to him and say: SIS it possible
ycu are keeping the doll to play with?'

But pause awhile to shed tear
That you should lie so low, old Year.
How blithe you were when first we net!
A flying chorus round you sung,
The snowdrops popped to see you pass,
And where your hasty foot you set
Deep violets and field daisies hung
Their trembling blossoms on the grass:
And hope, with swiftly-moving wing,
You brought to make eternal spring.
A grass-green kirtle next you wore,
And gathered wild-flowers in the wood.
Sweet odorS all around you stole
Forth from the chalice that you bore.
Knee-deep in tangled brakes you stood:
The red sun cast an aureole
About your golden head. old Year
And that glad vision brought me cheer.
Then with a sneat of ripened grain
Laid close against your heaving breast,
And crowned with purple grapes. you

At last the solemn winter laid
Its diamond crown upon your brow;
The icicles hung on the caves:
And deep within the beechen glade
The bare trees in the blast did bow
Their heads all shorn of crisp, brown
leaves
You taught me how old age might be
Made grand by simple majesty.
Now CARRIED and silent for the tomb,
You lie before me still and white.
With burning tears l say: "Good-by,"
And take from out the darkened room
The happy hopes that once were bright
In guise of tender memory.
What most was precious cannot die,
