A CHRISTMAS STORY.
The Following Entertaining Story
of The ChriStmaS-tide Was
Written by Miss kathe-
rine Hawkins of The
High School, Class
Of IOnS

In one of the elegant homes of New
York no preparations had been made
for Christmas, no holly wreath or mis-
tletoe branches were to be seen. A
bright light was reflected from the
crate and cast dark shadows on the
wall and over the woman sitting before
the fire. She was very quiet and
seemed to be asleep. but when step
was heard on the walk she arose and
turned on the lights. She was tall
woman with an elegant carriage, her
hair was almost snow white, her large
brown eyes seemed to contrast deeply
with her pale cheeks and colorless lips.
Her face was beautiful but sad.
Her husband, for the step heard was
his) entered and greeted his wife ten
derly. He was revealed as man about
fifty years old, tall and feshy with sill
yer gray hair and firmly set jaws and
straight lips. He had the app, arance
Of stern man, but second glance
revealed the kindness in his eyes. He
was Mr.. Robert E. Mortimer, one OF
the wealthiest and most prosperous
men in New York.
''How is business today?" asked Mrs.
Mortimer. Fair" he replied, Den
nison and Hammond paid up to-day
and Wilson will be in Saturday. He
would come tomorrow but as it is
Christmas will not go to the office,
but will stay at home with you, dear. -
"You are so kind, Robert, if only you
would allow--''Now Alice you know
it is useless to say any thing about that
affair. Lillian made her own bed and
now she can lie on it. / have told you
so often never to mention her to me, it
only irritates me-" MIR. Mortimer re-
Piled with feeling.
Il know, Robert, but l do get SO
lonely. if l only knew where she lived
or how she was getting along, l should
feel more contented," Mrs. Mortimer
replied sadly. Just then a maid en-
tered and announced dinner
After dirner they returned to the
library Mr. Mortimer seated himself
in his easy chair and began to read his
daily paper. Mrs Mortimer picked up
book without noticing what it was
and sat down as If to read, but instead
she gazed into the fire without even
opening the book.

Suddenly the sound of childish voices
singing a Christmas song drifted to
their ears Mr.. Mortimer dropped his
paper and sat staring at his wife and
she looked at him. After the first song
was finished and new one was begun,
Mrs. Mortimer said. Robert that is a
song our baby used to sing, 'let us see
who the children are"
Mr.. Mortimer arose without word
and walked out into the hall, he opened
the hall door and there he saw two
small children standing at the foot of
the stairs, singing. Mrs. Mortimer had
followed HIM and when she saw them
she exclaimed, "How cold they look,
Robert do ask them in" '.Are you
cold, children2", he asked and the
small boy answered quickly, "Yeth
thir" "Well come in then and get
warm" said Mr.. Mortimer.
The children were led into the warm
room. they were dazed at the bright
lights and beautifully Furnished room.
They gazed at the bright walls in
that they were cold. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mortimer led the children to the fire
and let them get warm and become ac-
customed to the dazzling lights before
they asked them any questions.
The elder of the children was a
slender girl about seven years old with
brown curls that had been beautiful
but now sadly in need of a comb. Her
features were fine only she had a
hungry and wistful loox. The little
years old, he had light hair and blue
eyes. The clothes were ragged and
dirty, it was evident that they were
almost homeless if not entirely so.
Mrs Mortimer sat down and taxing
the little boy on her lap began to ask
him questions
Where is your home and mother9"
she asked. Il aint dot any home and
muvver is in heaven, we live with n
mean old woman and she whipped me
so we ran off, you won't make us go
back, will you,? he begged.
Mrs. Mortimer assured him that they
would not have to go back. He sighed
heavily and a look of satisfaction came
over his face. Presently he said 81 is
SO hungry" "Robert" exclaimed
Mrs. Mortimer, tell Mary to bring at
once some. food for the children"
Mr.. Mortimer left the room and re-
turned in short time bearing tray
of food for the children. The baby
insisted upon remaining on Mrs. Morti-
mer's lap while he ate his supper, so
the girls food was put on table near
the fire. She was verv timid and

almost asleep when he finished his
supper on Mrs. Mortimer's lap, then
she took them up stairs and after Civ
! ing them a warm bath, she put nice
white gowns on them and tucked them
in bed
Little Harry. as that was his name,
was not too sleepy to remember that it
was Christmas and determined to put
up something for Santa to fill, SO Mrs.
Mortimer got each of them Il nice large
stocking to hang up. Harry was soon
asleep, but Alice as she said her name
was, seemed to be disturbed and only n
few questions from Mrs. Mortimer led
ner to tell all of their history, or AS
much of it as she remembered.
The first she remembered was living
in a pretty little white house with
flowers all around it, and big loving
father who would romp with her every
night, and a sweet mamma who dressed
dolls for her and told her i,ice stories.
Then she said her little brother came
and they were happier than ever, until
one day about three months later,
some men brought her father home
dead, he had been killed in street car
accident. Her father had not finished
paying for the home, SO it was gone and
her mother went farther up in town
and sewed for II living. The mothers
health grew worse all the time SO final
ly she left the children alone in the
world. A woman in the same fat took
them but she would often get drunk
and this was the woman they ran away
from.
Mrs. Mortimer asked her many
questions and was convinced that they
we're her own grand children. She
went down to the library, where Mr..
Mortimer was gazing into the fire, and
told him the story as the girl had told
it to her.
Il know they are our own grand
them, they would brighten our lives in
our old.age?' she plead II cant bear
to send them away. Eyes, che re
piled huskily, 1--WE will keep them. l
know now that was too hasty. Lillian
had right to choose for herself. and
must try to make amends for the
wrong that have done. 50 let us be
gin at once by going down town and
getting them some nice warm clothes
and toys and every thing nice to fill
their stockings with"
Mrs. Mortimer was perfectly willing
and they were soon on their way.
What nice time they had buying
things
When the children awoke and came
down stairs the next morning Mr.. and
Mrs. Mortimer were there. A tree
stood in the center Of the parlor and
candy and nuts and fruit. The child
rem clapped their hands in delight when
they saw the tree and the grand
parents felt fully repaid for their hours
of work.
The children did brighten the home
wonderfully and ii was not until they
grew older and were in college that
they ever told their mothers history
