for two years and had been left an
income barely sufficient to make both
ends meet. She had come out west
believing that here employment would
be easier obtained by which she might
provide for the future education or
little Harold, and that she would be
relieved from the opportunities of her
husbands relations, who, although
caring little for her, wished for pos
session of the boy.
The lawyers sympathies were deeply
stirred. Helens ineXperience appealed
to him and he began to look around
for some congenial employment which
would add to her income, While per-
hitting her to devote herself to Har-
old: but an unexpected interruption
of their growing friendship occurred In
the last week in September. when the
lawyer received a telegram from an
important client of his in an eastern
state, requiring his immediate advice
and assistance in a suit about to como

that so long as she had her little
Harold, she was the happiest Muzzy In
the world
Two weeks quickly passed, but In
stead of starting for Independence,
Franklin found himself involved in one
of the most stubbornly contested legal
battles of his career But during his
most trying days, he always found time
to think of Helen and the little child,
and he eagerly looked forward to the
time when the case would be decided.
November was ushered in, cold and
clustering, and the hours that Helen
usually devoted in romping with Har-
old out of doors, had to be given up on
account of the severity of the weather,
but she thought. with guilty con-
science, that she hadn't enjoyed this
little recreation so much since Frank
lin had left for the east.
Christmas was fast approaching and
Harold was much excited over the
coming of Santa Claus.
After many days of indecision as to
the presents he wanted the selection
was finally made and one night, an

weeks time he shook hands with Helen
and the child and left.
Helen's acquaintances were few and
far between. and that night as she
sat sewing she Realized with a sigh
how much she would miss her friend
while he was away.
Harold sat at the table studying
his spelling lessons. Although he was
scarcely 5 years old the boy had
learned to read and spell as well as
most children twice his years.
On looking up and noticing the rath-
er sad expression on his mothers face
Harold got up and climbed up on her
lap.
Are you lonely, Muzzy?" he sud-
denly asked "A little, dearie," she
replied. He was silent for a few mo-
ments, and then, looking up into her
face, asked, "Muzzy, wouldn't 1t be
nice If we had a papa?"
"You mustn't say that, Harold" his
mother demonstrated, as the rich color
nnantled her cheeks. But" he per-
sisted, wouldn't it be nice to have a
papa when you're so lonely; and then
/ would like to have one, too, cause
he would ride me on his back"
Pressing him to her, she told him

on looking over the letter and failing
to find a single misspelt word, Helen
felt very proud indeed, and after the
child sealed and addressed the letter
she put it away, promising to mail 1t
the first thing i'm the morning.
AS she was undressing him that
night, the boy suddenly asked. "Muzzy,
amt you going to write a letter to
Santa Claus. too?" mo, dearie," she
answered.
But don't you want no presents?"
kissing the child, she told him that
the only thing she wanted was to have
Santa Claus bring her little man all the
presents he had asked for, but as she
put him to bed she noticed that his
little face wore a thoughtful express
sion and his mind was so preoccupied
that he almost forgot to say his pray
