And IN the mist Of explanations which followed,
with two added ushers arriving to put their eXpana

And meanwhile Sonia, with the most innocent

innocent mistake. At the top OF the grand stairway
Aunt Aniela was more suspicious of the lit

she kept on with the most innocent intent in the
world straight down the broad corridor Of the
grand tier
There followed the inevitable moment Of bewilder-
ment, a return a hurried survey of the CAV throng
in which she was herself like little lost butterfly
in exceptionally brilliant field and at last her
appeal to a faint polite usher who listened to
her anxious explanation pricked to more than
professional regret at the quandary Of the mist
of white and the blur of rose. And while he
listened, bit bewildered by Sonias beauty and
by her appeal to him, he suddenly bethought
himself, as even faint polite ushers may do, Of an
eXpedient:
The box Of the Hollidav-Noelsl Was It not

day for Carlsbad as all the world knew Why not
what to prevent2 In the name OF charity now,
the little usher told himself, and Immediately
mered out suggestion given authority By the deep
brown of Sona's eyes and the cloud Of her dark
hair. Even usher may look upon damsel in
distress.

In another instant the faint polite functionary
had thrown wide the door Of the box Of the Holiday
Noels and had closed il upon the vision Of White and
rose and turned away. his professional mien fairly
disarranged by the look of the crisp thing that
Sonia had slipped in his hand. No wonder that he
thereafter remained LOYAL for space, though in
the teeth Of the entire force Of his brother ushers
An hour later so ne arranged it with himself, he
would i1npart to the cinnamon bear how matters
stood. Meanwhile, in gratitude, he blessed the

And so did Sonia For a moment, as the door
Of the box closed upon her, she stood breathless,
dazzed by the lights by the stir in the pit, By the

PHILLIPS FAMILY
SANlRl TAN R|CH

Just after the San Francisco earth
quake disaster. story was printed IN
the Advertiser concerning the difficult
ties of relatives of Mamie Phillips in
getting transportation from their
wrecked home to the ferry. They met
a teamster with a wagon and asked
him TO convey them and their luggage
On arrival there they asked him his
price and he refused to take cent.
He said it was not right to charge
people in a time of trouble. He in
sisted that he was all right, and went
back to help others. Before leaving
he was induced to leave his address
with his passengers.
Mr. Phillips, who returned from San
Francisco the other day, stated that
his family eventually located their
kind-hearted Samaritan. They pressed
him to accept some remuneration for
his services but he stolidly refused, and
finally said:
