fully small.
Miss Cynthia watched from her
plate-glass windows and saw Sidney
trudging past day after day to his
work, and her heart hardened, for ap-
parently he never glanced at his old
home. He passed with averted eyes
and Miss Cynthia had ample oppor-
tunity to notice how thin and care
worn his face had grown and how
shabby his clothes were as time went
on.
1t was six years now since Sidney's
marriage, and Cynthia had not relent-
ed nor had Sidney asked aid. although
there were two little children, and
Edith was nearly blind with an af1ic-
ton of the eyes.
Miss Cynthia's heart yearned for
those children, and whenever she
passed a group of neighborhood little
ones, her sharp eyes peared into each
small face trying to discern which
were the Bruce children, but she had
never felt sure of their identity. Her
heart was unusually tender on this
Christmas eve. and for the first time
she wondered if she had not been too
hard upon Sidney and Edith. She had
missed Edith's willing service many
times in the past few years, and there
had been no one to take her place in
Miss Cynthia's household. She
strained her eyes into the gathering
darkness to see Sidney pass on his
homeward way, but it was impossible
to distinguish him in the hurrying
throng. 1t was showing little now,
and it was some time before Miss Gym
thia noticed two little figures going
along the sidewalk, hand in hand,
laughing and shouting with glee. The
fence in front of Miss Cynthia's yard
was an iron one with the bars set
some distance apart, and the children
paused and pressed their faces be.
tween the pickets, gazing into the
lighted house.
The room in which Miss Cynthia
stood was still in darkness, and she

room, and Miss Cynthia entered. What
the two women said will never he
known, but an hour later a carriage
drove up and the Bruce family entered
and were driven home.
Miss Cynthia never did things by
halves, and that Christmas was one of
JOY, not only to her own family, but to
many others. for happiness opened the
way to all her treasures, and Miss
Cynthia opened her heart and hand
and gave lavishly to the poor.
The children found that Santa Claus
knew the way to Aunt Cynthia's, and
that was sufficient for them. They did
not think, as their elders did, of the
words, "a little child shall lead them"

could see them quite plainly but re-
mained herself unseen. The children
whispered together, then with hesitat-
ing steps came forward toward the
gate and opened it with some difficulty.
Slowly they came up the walk to the
house and gave the bell tremendous
pull. Miss Cynthia went to the door
with a pleased sense of anticipation,
for it was seldom children came to the
solemn old house. When the heavy
door swung open, the children almost
fell into the hall, as they had been
leaning against it, wiping the snow
from their little shoes.
what do you want, children?''
asked Miss Cynthia, assisting them to
regain their balance and closing the
door behind them.
They looked at each other timidly,
their eyes growing large and solemn.
The smaller, a little girl, put one fat
finger in her mouth and looked up at
Miss Cynthia searchingly.
'We have run away, and we liked
this pretty big house, and | told sis
ter we'd come and see who lived here, !"
said the boy, boldly.
"Run away" repeated Miss Cynthia,
in shocked surprise; that was very,
very naughty; can't you tell me where
you iye?"
Its just round some corners, and

manded the boy.

self in small chair that stood in the
hall, with greatcalmness and delibera-

II like your house!" said the boy,
thoughtfully; ''it's got soft floors,
and feels like you was walking on pill
lows. stepping around on the rich
carpet with evident enjoyment.
Haven't you any carpet on your
fioors?" asked Miss Cynthia, ter
derly.

mo, only in two rooms, mammals
and the sitting-room. We used to
have, but papa had them sent away,
and asked us not to tell dear mamma,
cause she might cry" answered the
boy, looking into Miss Cynthia's face,
gravely.
"Is your mamma sick?" asked Miss
Cynthia.
"Yes, she's awful sick, and has to
stay in dark room all the time. She
never laughs 'cept when papa's there;
then she acts SO happy, and told us
once not to tell him that she means
when he's gone" said the boy
"And who cares for you and Jean?"
asked the woman, quickly.
"Just Mary; she washes the dishes
and cooks our dinners and scrubs, and
washes our clothes, and irons 'em, and
oh, yes-plays with u.s." answered
the boy, joyously, while Jean smiled
approval.
Miss Cynthia shuddered, and drew
him to her arms, while Jean hitched
her chair closer and leaned against the
woman's knees.
"I'll tell you some'fing," she said,
softly; "to-morrow's Christmas"
Miss Cynthia's smile was so loving,
her best friend would scarcely have
recognized her.
'Is it, dear; will Santa Claus 60 to
your house?" she asked, gently.
Not this year. Father says he can't
come every year to our house, cause
| we mustn't be selfish. Some little chill
| dren never had Santa Claus come"
said the boy, his eyes shining with
sympathy for the Santa Clausless chill
dren he spoke of.
A great resolve was forming in Miss
Cynthia's heart. She would take these
children to their home, and then send
them such Christmas as they would
never forget. She could not do it for
Sidney's children, but here were two
little waits who could take their place.
Hastily she donned her hat and seal
skin coat, and taking hand of each
Wondering child, went out into the
| night.

absence to your Mary, I'll hunt up San
ia Claus and send him around to your
house." she said, as they went down
the steps.
The boy pulled her along the snowy
street, talking so rapidly all the time
of what he wanted Santa Claus to
bring that Miss Cynthia did not notice
which way they were going until they
stopped before a small house on a
dark street. Around the side of the
cottage the trio went, and the boy

clasped the truants in her arms.
ooh, you naughty ones! Mary's
been SO worried, and the poor mother
-hersilf's been cryin'," she said, tear
fully.
Miss Cynthia was about to explain,
when the door behind her opened, and
Sidney Bruce stood there, staring in
amazement.
"Aunt Cynthia!" he gasped.
Miss Cynthia turned, and all the
hardness of years melted from her
heart my own boy!" she murmured,
laying her hand on his arm, and gazing
into his face as if she could not gaze
enough.
"What does it mean?" the poor fell
low said, as he noticed the children run
forward and cling to her skirts.
She told him all, and he listened won
deringly until she finished, when he
drew each small figure to his breast
and kissed them, with tears in his
eyes.

get the children ready, and then we

cough which was more than sus-

than bronchial or pulmonary.
