JOY OF CHRISTMAS.-
Gifts That Bring Gladness to
the Heart.

A good part of the joy of Christ
mas consists in the thoughtfulness
and self-sacrifice that go into the
preparation of the gifts for that hap
Ply day. If you could look into hum
dreds Of thousands of homes this
week you would see fathers and
mothers and brothers and sisters
planning how to make the gifts that
will gladden. the hearts Of those dear
to them, says the Boston Waterman.
More often than not the expendi-
lures that parents make for these
purposes involve self-dcnial on their
part. They have to give up some
thing they would like to have in or
der to make the children happy. And
how the little ones who have man
aged to save q, trifle during the year
calculate upon spending it to the
best advantage. ooh, dear!" they
often think to themselves, ''how
many presents should like to make,
but how hard it is to make the.dol-
lar go around" Some of the gifts,
however, that bring the utmost glad
ness to parents heart are the little
things wrought with love by the
hands of the children-the book
mark, or the crochet work, that the
girls work on in secret, or the tool
box or shelf that the boys make In
their spare moments. Such gifts FREE
quently have quality that the most
costly presents lack. The aroma of
some gifts cannot be bought with
gold.

:
She was amazed, of course, and
aghast that Mr.. Gennis ter should have
been SO bothered by ''the bye" And
she Immediately carried the child away
to her own domain-the kitchen. But
Willie had no mind to give up his new
found playmate, and watching his OPP
portunity he slipped away from Ellen
and reappeared at ''Mitter Dennitter's"
side.
! Mr.. Gennister put down his book
and looked with some amusement at
the persistent child. But Ellen had
missed him, and quickly arrived upon
the scene, whereupon Willie set up
howl and chung to Mr.. Gennister,with
all his force.
s'There, there-leave him. with me,
Ellen. He'll be good in here, and you
go get the dinner said the master.
And the maid departed, marveling.
Oh, but Willie had a royal time that
day, and Mr.. Gennister had some good
exercise-and some new sensations,
too! They dined together as they had
breakfasted, with Noah and his family.
And then, after Ellen had everything
washed up and put away, she appeared,
all cloaked and ready to take Master
Willie home.
1t was difficult to persuade him to
s.be good bye" and go; he evidently
was we'll content to stay where he vast
But finally the idea of showing all the
beautiful toys which Santa Claus had
brought him, to "mommer, pepper an
the chiller" prevailed, and Willie con-
sentedreluctantly to have them packed
up and to go.
"Gop'-by, Mitter Dennitter; Willie
come soon aden!" was his shrill fare
we'll. Then silence settled on the bach
elor's home, and with sigh of relief
Mr.. Gennister picked up his book and
settled himself before the fire.
But somehow he could not fix his
mind on what he read, and his, eyes
would wander from the printed page.
"Hello! there's poor old Noah or
one of his family! wonder if you feel
lonely, too?" he said as he picked up
the forlorn little figure and set it be-
fore him on the mantelpiece.
'Welcome back, Mr.. Gennister, and
I hope you've had merry Christmas!"
was young Mortimer's greeting to his
employer upon Mr.. Gennister,'s re.
turn.
Tom, the office boy, laughed silently
and looked up to see young Mortimer
''annihilated;" but to his amazement
Mr.. Gennister, after his first habitual
frown, smiled and actually seemed
amused.
"Well, most unexpectedly, I did
have, rather!" was the enigmatical
reply.
Later in the day he said to young
Mortimer: "You have children in your
family, imagine?"
Young Mortimer laughed.
''Well, sir, there are nine of us, and
I'm the eldest of the lot!''
'Ah,"' Mr.. Gennister. said, thought
fully, shat explains it. That makes
the difference. see now why you
think so much of Christmas. never

Mr.. Gennister turned slowly toward
his new clerk-a fair, sunny faced
young fellow-with cold and stony
stare. Il do not expect to have a
pleasant Journey" he said. "And I
do not believe in Christmas
Young Mortimer, the new clerk,
looked blandy at his employer and
said no more. When the door closed

ure, Tom, the Office boy, laughed.
Say, Mr.. Mortimer, when you've been
with him as long as I have, you won't

It'll wish him both!" young ,Morti-
mer said, sturdily. "And 1 hope he'll

Mr.. Gennister's journey from the
city to the suburbs of.that small New
England town was no more pleasant
than he had foreseen.. It was 4 long
and tiresome journey, followed by
cold drive through the darkness, for
It was nearly eight o'clock before he
reached the lonely, old-fashioned
house which once had been his home.
For some reason, Mr.. Gennister bad
never cared to part with this house,
which through the entire year was
left in charge of an old servant, who
kept it always ready for his immedi-
ate return, though every year, he
went back to it for shorter periods
and at longer intervals. But he had
chosen to come to it now on the night
before Christmas, to get away from.
the, annoyance of the holiday fuss
and the air of general festivity which
he disliked so much, and which for
some days would pervade the entire
city. 1t was a nuisance, foolishness,
an interruption to business, and he
would have none of it! And the soon
er that Young Mortimer learned his
opinions about such things, the bet
ter!
As Mr.. Gennister approached his old
home he noted with satisfaction the
flare on the window panes, which told
of blazing log fire in his particular
den. But his satisfaction was married
when he was greeted in the hallway
by his old servant, all cloaked and
bonnetted and with fearful face.
