haven't got any settled work. Yester-
day my sisters husband saw your ia
Their, and he told him how he had left
you all alone up here and felt sort Of
worried, and thought as long as l
was just loafing around and no use to
anybody might just as well come up
here and look after you little and
stay till your folks got back and look
out there didn't any wolves or robbers
or anything get you" The man laugh
ed again in such pleasant, merry
way when he said that, and then he
went on to tell us that his sisters hus-
band said Uncle William was better
and the doctor thought he would get
we'll, but he guessed father and moth
er would have to stay there for awhile.
We asked the man in, and he made
himself at home at once.
1t seemed to me had never seen a
man so very kind as he was. and he
was so quick to see things that needed
to be done. He went out of his own
accord and drew pail of water, and
he brought in wood for the sitting
room fire. We children all agreed
when we went up stairs to bed that
night that there never was a man so
good, except father We had told
him our plans for Christmas, and he
was so much interested. He said Of
course we could have tree. He
would cut a fine tree, and If Uncle
William was not well enough for ia
Their and mother to leave him ON
Christmas day he would go to Ware
vile himself and stay with Uncle VIII
liam, so they could come home. He
said, too, that he could go down to the
village on foot, and if we would make
out list of the things we wanted he
would go down and buy them for us.
He went the very next day. We gave
him all our money, and he brought
back everything we wanted. We de-
cided to make him some presents. too,

with strings attached all ready to hang
on the tree, and in six of them were
hidden the little rolls of money. The
balls in the other plate We're smaller,
and those We're to be eaten at once.
When Samuel and Charley came
home, gave them some of the little
corn balls. and when Samuel had set
up the tree l hung on the others. Then
thought the money was safe, but
wondered all the time what I should
do if Samuel should come to me and
ask me right out where the money was,
for did not want to tell lie.
That night we all went up stairs as
usual but did not go to sleep. 1t was

We're all delighted. the more so be-

could stay and have our Christmas
tree with us. He laughed and thanked
us when we said so. but in a moment

was sure that knew where it was

dark bedroom, which stuck and had
to be forced down before pulling. The
children did not awake, and l made
