rams wondered how It weru possible
for so many children to 1.-Two in SO
small house. When DR.. 5ertram
built the house It was considered Of
very good size, but that was many
years ago, and since then i've bright,
happy children had come to crowd the
little brown house. On one side Of
them lived little boy who was an
only child and the idol Of his father
and mother. He had the enviable
reputation Of having everything he
wanted. When some of the little Bert
rams wished they were as fortunate
as Lawrence Cole, their sister Helen,
who was IA, would say:
"Oh, it wouldn't be nice to have all
the things we want-there wouldn't be
anything to wish for, and wishing is
such fun!"
OF their neighbor on the other side
the children stood in great awe. He
was a bachelor named Samuel Jorden,
who lived all alone, and who detested
children: and how in the world he
happened to build house right next
to the little brown house full of them
is not known.
But. in spite Of all the wealth on
either side Of them, the Bertrams were
the happiest, most contentcd Of fami-
lies. There was always such fun
there, with never a dull day, so that
every child in the neighborhood loved
to go there, but after dinner at night
was the jolliest time, when DIR. Bert
ram was at home. They would all
gather around the open fire in the H.
brary and everyone had to tell what
he and she had been doing all day.
Then they would have little music
from Helen and her mother, and the
girl would transfer them all to an
idea! world with the music from her
violin. Then came the procession to
bed, where Marjorie would be carried,
half asleep. The queer thing about
the Bertram family was that everyone
was utterly different in look and char
acter, SO that one never knew just
which one they loved best.
It was only the third day before
Christmas. when Dorothy, who was
just half past six," went up stairs
to find her mother. She had wistful
look on her little face that one could
never resist.
Mother. dear. have got something
for everybody now?"
Eyes, Dorothy, l think you have.
and you have helped me very much,
besides" answered her mother.
well. then, would you please give
me just fifteen cents more and let me
go out all alone and spend it?'
why, yes, my child, you may have
that. I suppose it is some great mys-
terry, isn't it, and mustn't ask?" said
Mrs. Bertram.
mo, please don't ask-ever!" said
the child earnestly.
"Ever!" thought her mother, as the
child went out, what can she be going
to do with it?
