Enthusiastically, then her counte-
nance changed to utter sadness,
and with a deep sigh she added,
''but I don't t'ink [ ever will have
any more Chrismuses. Pears like
mammywould be glad eff wus ter
die"
Amy determined that Tooksey
should have ct least one more good
Christmas if 4 good dinner would
constitute it. The chips errand
accomplished and the tarts dis
pensed with, Tookscy said she
must be going, when 10! and be-
hold to her utter dismay she dis
covered that the spool of thread
for which "mamny" had sent her
was gone? Where could she have
lost it, Amy helped in the dill
gent search in the kitchen and
shed. The basket of chips was
overturned, but all TO no avail.
Tooksey began to cry for she
knew what an unmerciful whip
ping awaited her. "Oh, oh! obi"
she walled, "mammy will mos kill
me bout loosin' dat Tread, but l
mus go home, if I stay any longer
lookin' fur it she'll beat me; [ mus
co." and it was pitiful to see the
scared eyes and ashley little face.
"Never mind, Tooksey," said
Amy, dive got some money of my
very own, and I'll give you 5 cents
and you can run back up town
quick and get some more thread"
The next minute Amy was up
stairs shaking vigorously at the
bank. OF course it was a great
sacrifice, but somehow Amy did
not feel half as bad when she told
Miss Minis she would not take the
doll as she thought she would. cit
is lovely doll and I'd like awful
well to have it, but [ don't mind
giving it up as bad as I thought [
would. I suppose it's because [
did something for some one else,
mamma" she said after returning
from Miss Minis. eyes, my child, "
mamma replied, 'that is it. Our
Savior said, 1t is more, blessed to
give than to receive and again,
When you give unto the least of
these my children we do 1T unto
me-" anyway, mamma, saved
poor little Tooksey of getting one
whipping" and Amy went away
happier than if she possessed the
beautiful doll
But dear old Santa Claus must
have heard of tho circumstances,
for when Christmas morning came
bright and clear, and Amy opened
her eyes, the first thing to greet
them was the doll, arrayed beauti-
full enough for a bride in lovely
pink surah and soft creamy lace.
"Why you darlingw she exclaimed,
"Mrs. Santa must have sat up all
night to dress you" After break
fast it was very happy little girl
that tripped along the streets till
she reached the little hut in the
suburbs inhabited by Tooksey, and
when the basket she left was
opened and contents found to be a
plate of delightful dinner of turkey
and cake and pies, a big, rosy
checked apple and la goldenorange,

what Uncle Jack las given me!
Now can get that beautiful dell.
This just exactly makes the
amount, a dollar and half Isn't
he just the best uncle? OF am 80
glad I can get the dollie," and
Amy danced gleefully into the
room displaying to her mamma a
bright silver half dime. not very
much to be sure, but when it just
made up the amount that would
obtain the long coveted doll, it
seemed a good deal IN the eyes of
the little girl. She had been striv-
ing hard for the last three weeks
TO save up money enough to buy
the fair haired dollie at Miss Minis
millinery store. The little MILL
ner had promised to save it till
Christmas eve, and now the morn
ing of that day had arrived but the
little savings bank contained only
$I45. Amy felt real blue over
the matter 'It's too bad" she
sighed, "to think it is such little
too-only 5 cents, but l can't get
it. can't ask any Of them for
any more money. Papa has given
me Is cents already. Auntie gave
me Is cents. Nurse paid me 10
cents for amusing baby one morn
ing. Mamma paid me ten for as
sorting her worsted colors. Aunt
PatseY gave me two fives for bring
ing chips to the kitchen from the
woodshed," and Amy proceeded
with pencil and paper to enumer-
ate the various means by which
she had obtained the little sum,
but not one penny more could she
make it than ST Is.
It was sore disappointment
after so much economy to have to
tell Miss Minis to dispose other
wise of the doll, and as she was
tearfully contemplating the situa-
ton good-natured Uncle Jack
came and gave her the wished-for
amount.
Amy dropped it carefully into
the little tin bank. 81 shall call
for the entire amount this evening,
Mr.. Cashier" she said with an air
of satisfaction. "And let me see,
how shall I dress dollie. 0 yes, l
think she must have a pink dress
with big puff sleeves and wide
lace collar" Mamma smiled at
the little girls eagerness, but said
nothing, and Amy ran away to the
kitchen, from whence delicious
odors of every kind escaped.
Aunt Patsey was bustling about
the kitchen as busy as bee. "Now
honey, eff you'll jes' take dat basket
and fotch me some chips from de
shed l gwine Civ you one of desc
here goosebury tarts jes' quick es
it gifts done"
Amy picked up the basket to
comply and at the door met Took,
sey. "Tooksey, if you have time to
stay awhile come with me to the
woodshed to get the chips and I'll
divide the tart with you. Aunt
Patsey5s just cooking the most
good things-for Christmas you
know-cakes and pies and every
thing, and fat Mr.. Gobler is in the
coop waiting to be decapitated
Papa said, That means to have
his head cut off, Tooksey," and
Amy looked very wise as she and
Tooksey proceeded to put the
chips into the big basket.
Tooksey was poor, little half
starved, ill-treated colored child
