Sand you think Santa Claus will fill

e<Think!' said David. II am sure OF
it. Anyway we will try him.
Day after day, when David Rowley
came home from his business, early III
the afternoon, he found his wife sitting
before the cheerful fire, busily darning
stockings Once or twice he fancied that
as he entered the room he saw Martha
hastily stuff something under the pile of
stockings in her basket. This appeared
odd to him, for Martha very seldom did
anything hastily.
One afternoon, soon after David came
home, his wife was summoned down
stairs to see a caller, and, hurriedly ris-
ing, she put down her work-basket and
left the room. The basket was so near
the edge of the table that Mr.. Rowley,
noticing that it was in danger of falling
on the floor, rose to set it back. AS he
did so, his eyes fell upon something ex-
tremely bright and gay which lay within
it. Impelled by curiosity and having no
conscientious scruples about looking at
his wife's work, he took hold of the gay
object and raised it that he might ex
anime it. He raised and raised and
raised-there seemed to be no end to it.

CHRISTMAS JANE
A HOLIDAY SKETCH
By FRANK r. STOCKTON.

Before a bright fire, on a cold Deem
Der evening, sat David and Martha
Rowley. They were a middle-aged cou-
pie, genial in spirits, prosperous in cir
cumstances, and their home was bright,
warm and cheerful.
David" said Mrs. Rowley, ''this is
going to be the quietest Christmas we
have ever spent together; none of your
nephews, none of my nieces; just us two
for the Christmas dinner and all that
comes before and after it. It seems to
me that it is scarcely worth while for
us to have home Christmas. Of course,
we can go to church, but as to"

them with us. Well keep Christmas
just as we have always kept it."
And hang, up our stockings, l sup

David turned quickly towards her, his
eyes frightening. "Of course we will do
that" said he. ''Ever since we have
lived in this house there have been

but he did not get up to examine his
stocking. On the other side of the fire
place he saw an enormous stocking, gay
even in the rduskiness of the room, and
hanging faced and empty. His wife
had had faith that Santa Claus would
come around again early in the morning.
Presently he heard clock strike 6,
and at the sound he quietly slipped out
Of bed and dressed himself, with the ex-
ception of his shoes. Then, with his
slippers in his hands, he stole down the
softly carpeted stairs. In the hail he
put on his slippers, struck wax match,
and made his way to the kitchen, where
he lit a lantern. Very careful to make
no noise with bolt or key, he went down
into the cellar and opened the drafts of
the furnace, an hour at least before the
time at which this Office was generally
performed by the servant
When he came up stairs again, Mr.
Rowley went into the library with his
lantern; then he walked noiselessly into
the parlor There he stood by the regis
ter few minutes, and then he went
back to the library. He sat down and
listened. Several times he took his Ian
tern and looked at the clock. It seemed
to him it took a long time for the hands
to move to a quarter to z.
Before the minute hand touched 8,
Mr.. Rowley rose and went into the hail.

as that?"
AS he stood staring at the exaggerated
hose an idea struck him. He was ORE the
point of bursting out into a laugh, but
he pulled it into a chuckle.

1t was early on Christmas morning;
everything was quiet in doors and out
everything dark out doors and in, except
for the dim light given out by a night
lamp in the chamber of Mr.. and Mrs.
Rowley. The good lady was sleeping
soundly; the more sound1y, perhaps, be-
cause she had sat up the previous even
ing until her husband was in bed and
asleep.
Mr.. Rowley was not asleep, he was
very wide awake-awake with his eyes
and awake with his ears. There was
Ii" 1t enough for him to see his stocking
which hung on the left side of the man
tel piece, and he perceived that it hooked
very full and bulged out in many piaces.
A lively curiosity burned within him.

Very quietly he drew back the bolt to

MANSION TO BE BUILT OF GLASS.
BKilIionaire's Palace with Fountain OF
Spout Perfume and Wine.


A magnificent mansion, built entirely
of colored glass bricks, has been planned
TO be built at Newport, r. l., for a Pa
cifc coast millionaire. The architects
are not yet permitted to disclose the
name of the prospective owner OF this
unique architectural oddity-frst, be-
cause he is still abroad, and, second, be-
cause certain details of construction have
not yet been determined. This building,
which will be designed somewhat after
the style of an old Pompeiian palace,
is to be begun during the winter. On
account of the elaborateness of the de-
sign and the great care and Skill re-
quired in the construction Of the building,
it will not be completed under two years.
The architects say that the ground
plan of the house will in some respects
resemble that Of the house of Pans;l, IA
miliar to readers Of ''The Last Days of
Pompeii" The bricks will be of various
sizes, shapes and colors, and the effect
will be of an oriental richness which will
defy description.
This will be the first residence in the
world constructed of such material and
on these lines. 1t is to be built in the
form of a square, inclosing an open court,
inside of which a fountain will play.
BY means of electric lights in many
cOlOred globes concealed at the source of
the fountain the water will fall in a
shower of vari-colored hues. 1t is said
that the owner of this fountain contem-
plates on certain occasions having per-
fumed water flow from the fountain, thus
seeming the entire court and on Occa-
siOns of festivity a continuous current of
California wine of his own vintage will
flow from the pitcher held in the uplifted
hand of the Bacchante in the interior of
the fountain.
