"I would like so much to stay at
homo tonight and help you arrange
the Christmas tree for the children.
You must be very tired"
The speaker was young boy with the
sweet face of a cherub. As he spoke
he raised his bonnie blue eyes and looked
at his mother lin a manner 90 loving
and winsome that Mrs. Beverly felt in
clined to persuade him TO remain with
her. She overcame the natural impulse
however, and replied. "Mr. Worton
needs you. Eugene. II anything should
happen, the young girls and the few
boys employed in your department,
would be helpless, for who among them
would be selipossessed enough to run
the elevator. Those poor girls are,
indeed, overworked, and as for the little
boys, it barely pays Mr.. Worton to
keep them"
Mrs. Beverly's eyes rested on her boy
trustingly for many we're the times when
Eugene's selicontrol had been taxed
only to show the manly will beneath
the boyish spirit.
The clock struck half past six and
Eugene prepared to leave 70; the book
factory where he was employed as
elevator boy. Mrs. Beverly smiled
sweetly laying her hand csressingly on
her sons golden curls and looked
deep into his eyes as much as to say,
Remember that trust you" Eugene

warm rich blood into Eugene's g

happy thoughts passed through his mind
as he saw people hurrying to and fro,
carrying big bundles. His dear mother
how pleased she would be when she saw
the lovely present he had for her and
his sweet little sisters They too were
not forgotten.
Mr., Beverly had died long ago, leaving
his family with barely enough to support
themselves, and Eugene was the man Of
the family. Everybody in the city where
Eugene lived knew and loved him. As
ne walked along, many friends turned
to speak to him. He was general ia
vorite, and ulthough he could not help,
but know it, it did not turn his heal,
but il anything, made his disposition
lovelier than ever.
When he entered tho store many eyes
were raised from work in greeting and
many followed his manly movements
with open admiration.
