he realized that he had not given her

Also, he realized that he had not even
wished her a merry Christmas in the

a neat but effective little speech Of

There came to him a fash of In
splration.
Why not play Santa Claus, take the
ring to Amabers home, climb in a
side window from the porch, deposit
the ring and note in her stocking?
This would make her feel that he had
planned 1t all as real Christmas sur.
prise for her. Christmas gift and
a Christmas proposal all at once
would certainly appeal to the roman
tic side of any girl.
So he wrote his note, wrapped II
about the ring. replaced the ring and
the note in the little box, wrapped 1t
up, and betook himself to Amabel's
home.
The porch from which he planned
to effect his surreptitious entrance
was side one. He remembered that
last summer Amabels father had
said he must have the catch on the
window repaired He knew perfectly
we'll Amabel's father hadn't done So
for he knew Amabers father was like
all men.
Through the side yard and over the
porch rail he went. The window he
found unfastened Carefully he raised
1t and felt his way into the room. To
his establishment he saw ray OF

night"
NO" her mother said. That made
it look as though you expected some
thing from him."
Andrew was standing in the dark
ness, in the middle OF the room. He
wished the family would quit talking
especially as they were talking OF
him-and go to bed and allow him to
drop his gift into AmabePs stocking.
He did not dare to move, for fear OF
running into some furniture. He
hardly dared breathe,

open the room where Andrew stood.
Andrew darted behind bookcase just
in time Mr.. futile went through the
room to the hall and opened the front
door. Mrs. futile followed him, de-
spite Amabels remonstrances that she
would catch cold.
There was the sound Of hurried
footsteps up the walk.
What's the matter?" Mr.. Tuttle
asked.
Where Is he?" said voice.
where's who?"
"Patrolman Jones telephoned that
he saw man breaking into your
house"
Andrew shivered with alarm. This
was a predicament. To be arrested
as burglar, to be carted of to jail,
without a chance to explain. He
peered from behind the bookcase and
saw Amabel dreamily hanging her
stocking. He swiftly came from HIS
hiding place, and silently hurried to
her side. Taking the package from
his pocket, he whispered:
"Amabell. IL forgot to tell you
love you, and here's my proposal, and
the engagement ring, tool"
The mere fact that he had appeared
thus mysteriously at her side did not
appeal to Amabel. She did not think
OF that at all. She said:
"Oh, Andrew"
And she then allowed herself to
fall into his arms.
That there was much excited con
versation in the hall, that men were
running around the house and peerine
into dark corners in the basement and
in the upper rooms was something Of
which Andrew and Amabel we're en-
tirely unaware. Mr.. and Mrs. futile
came back, after the officers had gone

had been so excited that the presence
