nothing to his sister, showing each day
an increasing interest in the accumulat-
ing presents in the locked room, and
finally, on Christmas eve, late in the
day, going back to the store where he
had made his purchases to ask what
had become Of the doll and the war
ship. It took long time to find out the
right man, but at last very polite
clerk who had been answering questions
as fast as dozen people could ask them,
turned to him and said:
Murdoch? What address? Penrose
street or Penrose avenue?"
"Are there both?" asked the colonel,
as the possible blunder dawned on him.
Eyes; one on the West side, one on
the South side. Where did you wish
your goods to go?"
OF course, Penrose avenue is on the
South side and Penrose street is on the
West side, and Col. Battersly had him
self made the mistaae. The goods had
been reeeiptsd for, the clerk told him.

COTTAGE.
well, the loot-that is, picked 'em up
in China and-they-the children will
appreciate them more as they grow
older"
Murdoch walked away without an
other word, but that night the woman
told her brother, softly and with evil
dent desire to be grateful, that papa
was so scrupulous, he didn't want the
children to receive such presents"
So the brother, fiushing red, took bael
his barbaric gifts and went to bed. In
the morning, soon after breakfast. he
went out of the house, called cab, and
babe the driver take him to 2441 Penrose
street. The doll and the battleship had
not arrived, and he was going after
them. He got out of the cab in squalid
street, and went into the only house in
the block. 1t was dirty, tumbledown
cottage, built below grade and with
sign For Sale" nailed to the rickety
fence. A thin womsn n, in an old, faded
wrapper. came to the door.
II came to see If"
"Oh, knew somebody I'D come" she
interrupted him. II knew they wasn't
for us, sir-wont you come in?"
He stepped into the dingy room and
saw a big-eyed, frail girl OF seven fond
ling the great French doll.
"You see, SIR said the woman,
breathless to explain, "the things come
while l was out work over at the shoe
factory, and-my name is Murphy, sir
and when the things come nobody was
home, sir, but Mamie and the boy. He's
mine, and he's out there now playin'
with tn steamboat, and when the wagon
came, Mrs. Tracy, she lives in the next
block, she seen it, and she ran over and
signed book, and the driver jumped
on his wagon and went away, an, of
course, the children seen the bundles
an nothin' would do but they must open
'em. That's all, sir; we didn't want to-
hope you don't think we'd steal EN-"
She was out of breath now, and the
two children-the boy, a sturdy lad Of
ten, had come in-were staring, fright
ened, at the colonel He looked at them
a moment and then at the mother.
81 don't understand you, madam" he
said. 81 called to look at the house. It's
for sale, you know"
He saw the look of anxiety pass from
her homely face. The children, delight
ed with the reprieve. ran back to their
splendid toys. He made show of look
ing through the stuffy rooms, and when
he was going gave each of the little
ones a coin.
"Good-by, madam" he said to the
mother "You have two fine children"
And when he was in the cab again he
stroked his gray mustache and
chuckled:
"It was lucky blonder, after all. I'll
go down to the store in the morning and
tell 'em it's all right."-Chicago Record.
