tain young man had ceased abruptly
No one dared to ask the reason for
the unexpected absence and every
time the name of Harold Van Kenton
was mentioned Theodore would flush
to the roots of her hair and turn the
subject irrelevently.
For almost a year Harold had been
a bi-weekly guest at the Morton home
and he had always joined in all the
gayeties of the young folks, albeit, of
recent weeks, he had seemed more
anxious for the solitary companion
ship Of the oldest daughter than of
the whole family. At last, though an
engagement never had been an
nounced, it was generally conceded
among the friends Of the family that
Theodore Morton and Harold Van
Kenton were betrothed.
Then-his visits had ceased and his
friends had noticed that his genial
smile was less spontaneous and that
he was less ready with his joking re-
marks to them all. Furthermore, he
studiously avoided all social gather
ings at which it was possible Miss
Theodore might be found A certain
reserve in matters purely personal
kept even his most intimate friends
from asking what had happened.
And in the case of Theodore it was
much the same. She was kind and
sweet in her family circle, but the
joyousness of her temperament
seemed strangely lacking. She was
beautiful and the somewhat Wistful
smile she now wore more than ever
enhanced her type. She was tall and
strongly built, but pale rather than ro-
bust; her deep blue eyes were pro-
tected by long, dark lSshes and her
hair-neither light nor dark-waved
softly about her broad, white brow.
For her the approaching Christmas
holidays so happily looked forward to
by the others, held little promise of
gladness That Harold would not be
one of the merry party about the
cracking fire made more difference
than she dared to admit, even to her
innermost conscience
But he had been at fault. And If
he could not come to her like a man
and say so, what could she do? She
was too proud to tell him to come
anyway-thus admitting herself I'M
able to exist without him And when
she was not in the wrong how could
she apologize?
He, in his masculine way, had it
arranged in his mind differently. If
Theodore, after all there had been
between them, still persisted in con-
tinuing her correspondence with John
McShane when it was contrary to his
wish-he could not ccuntenance it. If
she cared more for the correspon-
dence of this man she had known all
her life, but who was now a midshir-
man in the navy, why-all he could
do, as man If honor, was to leave
her free to go to him. If such were
not the case, If she cared for him,
alone, and he objected, she should
ceSse the correspondence and elimi-
nate the bone Of contention.

That That Is the Lowest Form of
':Inoor"
but to them-Theodora and her sweet
heart-it was as a matter of life and
death. How could he understand that
it had been one of her proudest pos
sessions-her ability to hold the
friendship of all the boys she had
known as a child? Why, she had ar
gued with him, should she deny this
boy the friendship that had been
theirs almost since babyhoOd, just be-
cause a new mana different sort Of
man altogether-had come into her
life. If he could not be broad enough
to let her have her friehds-they were
better apart. If he couldn't believe in
her sufficiently to accept her word
that there was nothing more than a
staunch friendship existing elsewhere,
he did not love her. Had she not been
taught in her catechism at Sunday
school to believe first-then to love?
The breach had been widening with
an unhappy lover at either end of it..
Harold had thought of it all day long
and as he wended his way slowly
homeward on the suburban train and
got off at the little suburban station
among commuters, Christmas bundle
laden and laughing and joking with
the very spirit of the holidays, his
heart was as heavy as If he had COM
mitted crime.
Soft flakes OF snow were flying here
and there and he turned up his collar
and put his face down as he climbed
the hill to his home. He did not once
turn in the direction of the Morton
home on the opposite side of the
street. At his feet, and being quick
ly covered with snow flakes, he no.
ticed a tiny blue envelope. Almost
indifferently, he stopped and picked
1t up.
In childish-almost baby hand
was the crude little nencil scrawl that

Harold made out tn be Santa Claus
what should he do? If he did not
open 1t and reid it, it would be COW

go ungratified-for he knew it must
be baby's letter to his good ST. Nick
Please l want a big brother to
gather logs, Santa Claus. I want a
track for my engine and anything else
you have that little boys like. have
three sisters but they are bigger than
me. Willie Morton"
That was what Harold made the
note out to mean. It was without
punctuation, without an idea of spell
ing, but that was the gist of it.
What should he do? He could get
the boy the track for his engine; he
could get him the other things "a little
boy would like'-but the big brother
to gather logs-that was the problem.
Then, like flash, it came to him.
Why could he not give him that also
that is, If Theodore would have him.
Even the thought Of it seemed to put
some of the former elasticity into his
step as he sped homeward.
That night he rang the Morton door
bell and was warmly greeted by all
but Theodore She alone, was reticent
and-he almost fancied-inhospi table
One by one, the others ran off to at
tend to final Christmas duties and he
and Theodore were left alone together.
Harold stepped close to her where
she sat beneath the great family read
ing lamp. Teddy" he said, softly,
'let me show you the little note got
today-found I had better say"
He drew forth the crumpled paper
and showed it to her. She read it,
drawing her brows together in puzzled
thought for a moment while she tried
to make it out Then she looked up
at him.
''Well?" she asked.
Cant we let Willie have the big
brother to gather logs-dear?"
She did not speak but her head
dropped slowly to the arm of the great
chair.
Cant we, Teddy?" he asked.
After a long time-oh, after they
had talked for half hour of thou
sand silly things including Yule logs
and John Mc5hane's correspondence
Teddy said:
81 suppose it would be a shame to
spoil the child's faith in Santa Claus,
wouldn't it? You may be his brother
his big brother to gather logs"
And the Yule log was so big and
burned so brightly for the whole Nor
ton family including it's new n-to-be
that the young man in question found
it necessary to sit with the daughter
Of the house until we'll along in the
evening just to keep the sparks from

more dangerous fire than the one that
