were sometimes trouble to his father.
They were always original. but apt to De

idea that had come to him now was that
he should go to the house where his father

A tall, spare. dark eyed young man
witr violin case in his hand, came up
the barrow stairs three steps at once, as
though he were anxious to reach the little
attic room which was his destination
There was lamp in the hall below, but
no light on the stairs or landings, save the
dim CLEAN which came through skylight

seemed to know his way by instinct and
did not pause until he reached the scratch

tho entrance to his abode. There he stop
ped short, waited and listened for a mo-
ment, arrested by sound that issued from
the room.

played, as though the instrument itself
were small and the hand of the player
weak. Presently there arose also sweet
little thread Of childish voice, singing to
the tune picked out on the violin the
words Of we'll known Christmas hymn:

It was miserably bare room, not very

burned in the rusty CRATE did not avail to

warmth, little boy was curled up, his
hands holding the tiny fiddle, to the notes

tunes every night in the orkistra, but he
has to do it, or else there wouldn't be no

'Where is your mother?" said the gen.
eral

her away" he answered. And the gen.

"Oh, no, didn't only thinked I'd
like to come, cause daddy says Santa
Claus always came here at Christmas
time, and it would be awful nice to see
him, but don't want anythink myself. I
just want to tell him that there are heaps
of little boys mu.h poorer than me ard
that if he would 60 to the poor children it

"Well sometimes" said the general

confldentially. I'D wait about till he

To his surprise, the old gentleman with
the white mustache stopped down and
took him into his arms. my dear little

When Guy Fairfax, half distracted by
the note which he found on his table, ar

night, he was shown at once into the din

armchair with child's figure gently era

And when Tony woke next morning in
a soft white bed and a cozy room, such as
he had never seen before, he was little
bit grieved to find that Santa Claus had
filled astocking for him while he had been
fast asleep, but he was quite consoled when
Guy told him that the old gentleman with
the white hair and mustache, who must
henoeforth be called grandad, was the best

that Fony might go to him after break

He put away his empty bowl In a little

to the fire. Then he yawned and thought
the room looked very lonely and wondered
what he could do to amuse himself. He
