droll and pathetic, to tell of customs
of which they knew nothing, and OF
stranger customs still. which were
practiced in the poorer parts of GER
tain cities abroad.
Aimee listened with delight, while
her bright, eyes lost nothing of what
was going on about her. She emptied
her Jacket pocket, too, to its last small
fessor never once saw what she was
doing, or, at least, that was what
Aimee thought.
He accompanied them to their own
door. but would not go in. mo, no
Christmas eve is no time for an out
slider to call. Thank you, no-I'm go
ing home-to bed"
"But, professor" said Aimee, II want
to hear the end of your exciting ex-
perience in Bulgaria; if you will not
come in and finish the story tonight,
you must come and dine with us to-
morrow. Oh, you just said you had
no engagement-and fancy taking
Christmas dinner in boarding house!
Please say yes professor. We shall
count on you-at seven. There will be
two other such homeless waifs,' as
you call yourself-friends of Toms
besides ourselves. Tom, escort the pro-
fessor home, and don't leave him until
he has said 'yes!' A merry Christmas,
professor, and au revoir-to-morrow!"
The professor yielded, and. after q
Christmas day spent rather dismally
alone in his rooms, at seven in the
evening he found himself one of par
ty of 12 at the Desmonds' hospitable
table.
He had known the family well ever
since Toms first year in college, when
a warm friendship had sprung up be-
tween the older and the younger man.
That he was older than Tom-and
Aimee-had been a source of regret to
him-since last night! In actual point
of years he was not old at all, and yet
from these young peoples standpoint
he knew he already belonged to the
rank of "grave and reverend seniors" +"
And when he found himself at the
dinner table beside Aimee-who looked
a radiant spirit of Christmas" with
a sprig of holly in her nut-brown hair
he thought her more lovely and
merry and girlish-looking than ever,
and he felt himself unusually old and
dull.
But he did not dream that her bright
eyes had detected the shade of un-
reasonable sadness which suddenly
came over her guest, or that she had
set herself the task Of dispelling it.
It was genial Christmas party, COM
posed of Mr.. and Mrs. Desmond, their
married daughter, her husband and
their three half-grown children, Tenn
and two of his homeless young bach
elor friends, Aimee and Prof. Vaughn.
And it proved a delightful dinner.

OF christmas in the keen frosty air!"
said Aimee. And so they sailed forth.
ihey were soon on that side of the
town where the poorer classes dwell.
and where tonight the curbs were
nned with booths lit up by f1aring
torches, and the venders were selling
cheap toys, fruits, candies, ever
greens and all sorts of articles, in op-
position to the long rows of attrac-
tlvely lighted and decorated shops.
The brother and sister mingled
with the crowd, who all seemed i'm
Dued with more or less of the holi-
day humor. Even the blind beggars
begged cheerfully and called down
genlal blessings on the equally cheer
full givers.
The sight was not new to them. for
the year before Aimee and Tom had
spent Christmas eve in this same
quarter.
For some weeks Aimee had been
boarding her small coins to s'invest"
tonight, and these she had dropped
loose in her jacket pocket before SAL
lying forth. And Tom, who had dis
covered Aimee's "trick" on the pre-
vlous Christmas eve, had quietly fol-
lowed her example. So many a "Mer-
~ christmas and God bless YOU"
from the halt and blind, fell to their
snare as they gayly passed, borne on
ward by the hurrying throng.
Their largesse-or elittle large
ness" as Tom dubbed twas not
alone Tor those who begged. An old,
"isnered woman, basket on arm,
paused doubtfully before a stall of
1ruit' and Aimee dropped her largest
silver piece in the old crone's basket,
Tom swiftly following suit. Two tat
.ered children were eying wistfully q
.sano OF cheap toys, when suddenly
nom some unknown source a nickel
cropped into the grimy hand of each,
ana made possible the delight which
seemed SO far away to them the mo-

I 'What can it be? It suggests better
| half" said one.
"a wife!"
"a housewife, truly!" exclaimed Mrs.
Desmond, as the professor awkwardly
opened his little package. 'Well
| thought of, Aimee! A useful little
article for any bachelor!"
So the evening passed merrily, and
| the last thing the professors eyes rest
ed upon, as he bade. the family good
night, was Aimee's lovely, laughing
face.
And the last thing the professors
! bewildered eyes rested upon, in his own
room long after midnight, was lit
tie photograph which he had found in
a pocket of the housewife-a picture
of Aimee's lovely face!
The professor was sorely puzzled.
Had Aimee given him her likeness
unasked-or had the photograph
slipped in by accident? What did the
doggerel say?

You oft need help-as one sans eyes"
81 do need help!" be said, land truly,
I have been blind-till now!"
FrOIeSSOr, you neeO mine, 1 KNOW
Take me, I'm yours-with you I'd go!'
Aimee, do you mean it-you, your
self? No, no, or you never would have
said it thus; of that I'm sure!"
But should you leave me now, too late
You'll feel regret-as sure as fate!
"Regret-Aimee, if 1 can't win you I
shall feel despair!"
MY riddle you can't read? Then look
You'll find the answer in this book!'
'And the answer is-your likeness
hidden-for none but my eyes to see!"
He needed her. All, yes, he knew it
now. But could she have guessed his
secret, even before it had been fully
revealed to himself, and could she have
taken this artful way-to give him
courage? No, thousand times no!
That could never be Aimee's way. And
yet
he looked at her picture again and
he read the doggerel again. Finally
he went to bed, but he could not sleep.
He was haunted by Aimee's lovely face.
Early the next afternoon the pro-
fessor went to the Desmonds' and asked
to see Miss Aimee.
He noted that she seemed surprised
to see him.
81 came to return something" he
said, watching her an1ously.
She seemed puzzled. Then she
laughed gayly and extended her hand.
'My poor little ten-cent piece! hope
you didn't really think mistook you
for blind beggarl"
Indeed, Miss Aimee. you will find
that am beggar, and I am sure that
have been quite blind. But it is not
the dime; you really gave me that, and
have right to keep it-fcr mck!"

A fantastic procession of blind folk ana

They limped to his side. and poor Tom

We're the years resOluttons-you thought

And if you again and again persevere

Here the clock pealed out twelve. but be-

The dream folk had vanished, and Tommy

He rubbed his eyes smartly. and vowed he'd

He'll form habits to bless him as long as
