there would be no Christmas for the
Davis. The children had seen the
beautiful Christmas trees in the store
windows down in the city and had often
longed for one for Christmas, covered
with toys, but their mother gently ex-
planned to them why they could have
none.
Now it so happened that Mr.. Davis
had brother who had gone to sea when
quite young and nothing had ever been
heard of him since he left. All who
knew about it supposed he had been
drowned in some storm at sea. But it
had not been his fate to die so young.
He had started out to visit some of the
far off eastern countries, such as Japan,
China, India and the Philippines. He
had had some very exciting adventures
and done some very daring deeds.
After many years, when he had accumu-
lated great wealth, he decided to return
to America and hunt out his brother
and family and share his wealth with
them. He and his brother were the
only ones of their family then living,
as their only sister had died when quite
young. Mr.. Davis had married before
his brother (whose name was Charley
had left America, and SO he knew his
brother was not doing very well in life
being cripple, and he didn't suppose
he was earning any more than he was
when he left, but of course he didn Y
know.
Charlie landed in New York the lat
ter part of November, and it took him
from the time he landed until the day
before Christmas to find his brother.
Christmas morning someone knocked
at the Davis door. Mr.. Davis opened
it, and there stood man dressed al
though he was very rich. But despite
the difference time and clothes made
the two brothers recognized each Other
almost instantly. OF course the chill
dren had no idea who it was, never
having seen him before, and Mrs. Davis
did not recognize him for a few min
utes. Then what happy reunion fol
lowed!
When Charlie found out where his
brothers. rooms were of course he knew
what dirty place it was, and knew
that they couldn't have much money
or thew would live in a cleaner and

and Mrs. Davis, Jack and Eddie. Jack
was eight years old and Eddie five
years old. Mr.. Davis was a cripple,
and SO could do very little work. Mrs.
Davis took in washings and earned a
living for the whole family. The boys
were as yet too young to help much
except that Jack ran errands some
times
In the same house with them lived
a boy named Tom Wells. Tom was ten
years old, and being the oldest boy in
the house he usually ran all the errands.
He and Jack were the greatest of
friends. Whenever they could find
time they hurried downtown and looked
in the windows of the big department
stores. They had each chosen what
they would like for Christmas, and
every time they went down they would
look first to see if their particular pres
ent was there yet. Tom had picked out
a train of cars for his, and Jack toy
pistol. They would 60 home and tell
their folks about them, but there was
no prospect Of their ever having them
for their own.

Thought of remodeling the house and
cleaning it up, so that it would be
healthier and the people would be able

money for the rent in on time. Besides,
the families were very poor, and would
not have been able to pay the raise in

with the remodeling. The houses were
so close together that there was nc
room for the children to play outside.
In the Davis family there were Mr.
