him, haggard and thinly clad stood a

into the kitchen, long red coat trailing

and a pointed red cap pulled down to
his ears.

dered and rejected.
Early in the morning, before Tommy
was stirring, he tfp-toed up to the attic
again, determined to get Andrews
promise that he would not slip away
that day. It was obtained with less
trouble than he had expected because
the man was worn out and I'll from the
exposure Of the night before.

however, Providence had given no evi-

Letitia Dale sat IN the parlor read

Tommy needed no urging. The role
Of Santa Claus appealed to him very
strongly. In a moment his grandfath-
er heard him moving about as quietly
as possible in the attic, so that his
aunt's sharp ears might not hear him.
He was quite sure that the child
would not discover Andrew, hidden as
he was behind the pile Of trunks, and
he was certain Andrew would not dis
close himself.
It was a strange chance that had led
him to open the old valise that morn
ing. He had thought, that If Andrew
we're determined upon going away at
once, he would smuggle q coat and
some underwear and what food be
could, up to the attic for him to take
away with him. When he opened the
old valise which he remembered had
once been Andrews, to see il it were
empty SO that he might put the things
