brought long ago to keep the flies off

to toddle out on the floor spoke "a

audience and bowed to the wonderful
tree. During the singing of The
Christ Child Perky disappeared, to
return a moment later in long vel
low slicker and a Santa Claus wig
made from the burro's sheepskin pad.
Such a pandemonum of happiness
as those children raised! When it had
quieted bit and the little ones were
browsing over their precious gifts,
some one suggested the Virginia reel.

had started calling the figures, playing

The spirit had been repressed. cramp-

burst out in a hilarious gladness that
was all the more tireless because It
was not sure it had right to be glad.
We were in the midst of a mighty
balance with the old shack shaking
as it had never shaken before, when
something rolled from the roof tree
and fell to the floor with a crash. 1t
narrowly missed Perky's head and he
stopped to pick it up.
1t was an old blackened buckskln
sack, and as he raised it from the
floor te ancient string gave way and
a miniature golden flood poured out
at our very feet. There was a hush
like death as We bent over the scatter
ed coins, listening to Perky tolling off
the number from one hand to the
other.
There's just twenty" he said,
hoarse with joy Four hundred dollars,
and they mean we're going to get out

He went over and put his arms
about Tilly. For some strange reason
the women all began to cry.
Three cheers for the Fourth of
July, Thanksgiving, Christmas!" called
Perky. when a few minutes later we
had all kissed and shaken hand around.
They were given with a vim. A dim
light from the east shone through the
window. And we all hurried home to
