- day were just be-
ginning to arrive, and down in the
library, where the tree was sheltering
a profuse array of toys, stood an unex-
pectedguest. He was i'll clad, unshaven,
and his hair looked as though it had
never known a comb. In his right hand
he carried a dark-lantern, and slung.
over his left arm was a sack, COM
mon jute bag, and he had entered by
the window that looked out upon the
street. The family had all retired, and
for the most part were asleep. That
is why the unexpected guest chose this
time to arrive.
Stealthily he crossed the fr0>ora &C.
drawing the Portieres silently across
the broad doorway that opened into the
hall he slid back the front of his
lantern, and, lighting match in it's
flame. he turned on the gas and lit it,
so that he might better see the exact
character of his surroundings. III
''Humph!'' he said, as he observed the
tree. ''Quite fine layout. I don't
know but what, after all, it's good
thing that parents give their children
expensive things these days. It's IA
great help to our profession. You can't
raise much money on candy balls and
tuppeny dolls, but these silver-plated
engines and purses with ten-dollar bills
in 'em come in handy. Gold sleeve-but-
tons, too" he added, as his eyes took iii
a few further details of the scene before
him, "an' a gold watch as we'll. This
is luck'' .. =
And then, as he bent over the groups
of toys and presents of a more expen-
:sive nature intended for Bobbie, his
eye glittering with joy at theprospective
value of his haul, the heart of the unex-
Pected guest stopped beating for an
instant. There was rustling sound
behind him.
With quick movement he slid the
cover of the dark-lantern to, by mere
force of habit; but it was unavailinr.
the room was still lighted, though
dimly.
Course the gas!' he muttered. as he
turned
'Hullo!" said soft little voice from
hehlnd the portieres, and at the same
moment the curtains were parted and
there stood Bobbie, clad in his night
gown. us that you, Santa Claus ?s he
added, peering curiously at the unex-
pected guest.

J. Mokuula, an old Jail bird, and up
until yesterday an employe of Lewis &
Co., was arrested yesterday for stealing
a key of butter from his place of en-
ployment. y
Yesterday morning the Chinaman
who keeps the coffee shop at the corner
of King and Punchbowl streets went
down to All Longs store, just a block
makai on Queen street, and told him if
he wanted some cheap butter he knew
where he could get it. All Long was
after a bargain, and accompanied his
friend. The coffee shop reached, All
Long was shown the butter and at once
put it down as some that had been got
from Lewis & Co., as he himself always
got his at that place.
The circumstances of the sale of the
butter detailed, All Long thought
something radically wrong, and report
ed the matter to Lewis & Co. Upon in
vestigation it was found that key Of
butter had disappeared. The matter
was put into Detective Kaapa's hands
and in a little while Mokuula had been
identified as the man who took the but
ter. He confessed that he was the
thief :
