of the bogus Santa
Claus, Blinky felt that
there was a breaking
up in his chest. When
she kissed him and
told him how they all
loved him, Blinky used
his sleeve with it's
snowy coating of wool :
to relieve the dimness
Of his vision.
AS they clung to
Blinky and chorused
their greetings, he was
confused as never be-
fore in his professional
career as a burglar.
His first impulse was
to 60 out and loot some
toy store and deliver
a wagon load of the
proceeds at the big
house. But, for some
reason he could not
understand, this was
utterly repugnant to
his new feelings. He
took the "trusty" serv-
ant into the hallway,
said something that
put that unworthy in
a tremble, slipped him
a bill and sternly told
him to be back in half
an hour.
When the children
sh uld have been
asleep in bed, the older
members of the family
returned to find them
in the midst of a romp
that filled the great
house with merriment.
Blinky was making
good time around the
room on all fours with
the children on his
back, notplaying horse,
as Ben proudly an
nounced, but el'phant.
About them was a pro-
fusion of gifts that the
servants had brought
and Rlinky, in his as
sumed role, had dis
tributed in a way to
win the hearts Of the
youngsters. The mas
ter of the house was
surprised, but not so
much so as Blinky,
whose instructive i'm
pulse was to jump
through a window.
But the little ones were
clamorously singing his
praises. To them he
was Santa Claus, and
he looked the part. He
was accepted as some
good-hearted eccentric
and again made well

~ ers for memory
More precious far than f1eeting gold,
Goodnight, sweet year, wherein I read
Full many page with rare delight;
Thy latest hour will soon have fled
o, pleasant year, sweet year, goodnight!
Goodnight, sad year. that reft away
Some hopes cherished; gave the pain
OF disillusion: dimmed the day
With wrecks OF labor wrought In vain.
Goodnight. sad year, that sometimes knew
My pillow wet with bitter tears,
Goodnight, sad year, that drifteth too
Far hence on Times black sea Of years.
Goodnight, blithe year, that to the home
Came smiling with so gay face,
Bade roses bloom in hall and room,
Sent small feet pattering through the
place
That woke such bells of melody
AS touch the eternal chords that ring
Where evermore the ransomed be
And saints for aye behold the King.
Goodnight. brave year. that gave me
strength,
And helped my will to overcome
In struggles, where the foe, at length
Baff1ed and beaten, left me dumb,
Yet thrilling with victorious song!
Goodnight, brave year! I fain would
keep
Thy secret still to right the wrong,
But thou art weary. Rest and sleep.
od-night. o year most sorrowful,
Seen from the earth side. ache and loss
And clouded dawns, and dear ones gone,
Have deeply stamped thee with the cross.
Goodnight. O sorrowful. sweet year.
Sweet with the promise of the day,
Where heavens own morning. shall appear
And all the shadows flee away.
