years an it's mos time for him to be
along here"
The sergeant was dumfounded. Two
days later he rode down the valley to
the army headquarters and sought out
the quartermaster.
q want two blankets" he said, "big
ones, and warm; 40 pounds of coffee,
a case of sweet crackers, and some
ginger snaps If you got EN-, and some
sugar, and-let me see-got any can
ned goods, pears end peaches and the
like O that?"
The day before Christmas was clear
and bright. The troopers were walk
ing about their campfire, their guns
stacked, but within easy reach. The
sergeant was not there. Pretty soon
the little girls came out from the
cabin, hand in hand. They had hard
ly reached the camp when the cap
tain Of the guard suddenly straight
ened up.
Haiti" he cried, "who comes here?"I
The soldiers sprang for their guns
and stood across the trail. Climbing
down a hill bordering the trail was a
man with a long white beard and a
fur cap. He was laden with parcels.
Susie saw him, and uttering a glad
cry ran to him and stood between
Santa Claus and the soldiers.
You sha'u't shoot him." she shout,
ct; you sha'n't shoot Santa Claus!"
The soldiers grounded arms and
laughed until they couldn't laugh any
more. Just then there was a sound
of a horses hoofs on the rocky trail.
1t was an unusual thing, there was no
Joke this time. The soldiers straight
ened up, ready for action. Santa
Claus dropped his parcels and griDped
his revolver.
In a moment the rider was among
them. It was n high officer in the
Federal army, and he glared about in
angry surprise.
what means all this buftoonery?
he growled, his keen eyes boring
through Santa Claus.
Santa Claus, entirely unabashed,
told the story, emitting nothing. He
said the father of the little girls was
in The Confederate army and they and
their mother were alone in the noun
tains; that the winter had come on
them unprepared, and he had ordered
the auartermaster to get together
some things to tide them over Christ
mas.
The gold braided officer looked into
the fearless eyes Of the sergeant, the
men standing respectfully about him,
and then at the half-clad little girls
and their blue hands and lips.
ITS all right boys" he said, zen
tirely all right I got couple O. lit,
tie chaps o. my own back In the hills
of Kentucky, and I hope the good
Lord will raise up friends for EN- same
as you folks have been to these Good
by!"
Then he rode on down the trail.
That night the Yankees and the lit
tle family of the Confederate soldier
had a Christmas dinner in a cozy
little mountain cabin.
