was wedging his was through the
crowd, trying to reach his home be-
fore the snow became deeper or the
wind more cold.
He hurries along as fast as his tired
feet will carry him until he leaves
the busy part of the city, when he
walks more slowly and at last he
stops in front of large stone house
AS the blinds were up and the
house was brightly lighted, he could
see clearly all that was going on
within. 1t made him almost feel as
though he was taking part in the
sports.

could distinguish from the :1ecOra
tons of the house and the differen
games they were playing. the littlt
girls of the house were having ;
birthday party. A stand in one cor
ner of the room was filled with pres
ents, such as books, pictures, anC
toys of all descriptions. A table wa
