it was nothing but hustle and hustle,
IN most places, and all the necessary
hullabaloo that makes Christmas the
adorable holiday that it is-but-and
here is where my story comes in.
On quiet street, where the better
class of houses stood, trifle away
from the shopping district and the
street car lines, little face was
pressed against the window-pane, and
two large tears stole down over a
straight little nose. Other little girls
were joyfully looking forward to this
happy season, but Elizabeth Rockerby
felt sadly at a loss and out of place
as she stood in her black velvet and
lace in her grandmother's huge draw
ing.room. She had overheard the par
lor-maid and the upper house-maid,
In whispered conversation.
THE poor darlint," Nora, the house
maid, had said. 1.-The poor darlint!
And is it Christmas the little ones
after havin'? Never bit of it! Don't
ye believe it! Oh, the poor lamb!
that solemn and stitf-like in her black
dress"
Think of Cooks Ruby rugged out
like that" said Ellen. DO you think
she'd stand it for a minute? Not on
your life; She'd be down under the
table pulling the cats tail; and she'd
be teasing her mother for goodies,
when she got tired OF that! But this
pale-faced mite, she's passed from one
calculating relative to another, till
she hasn't got speck of Zip left
in her. Do you know what Ruby'd
do? She'd run away" and Ellen
laughed outright at the thought.
It was here that Elizabeth had slip
ped into the window recess, her pulses
throbbing.
If Cooks little girl could run away
why shouldn't she? NJ
Elizabeth had not known it could
be so cold when one got out into the
night: but the stars had a friendly
twinkle, and the shop-windows looked
30 pretty with their tinsel drapings
and red paper bells that she almost
forgot the cold as she went eagerly
from one gay collection Of toys TO an
other, IN felt the companionship Of
children, y; she rubbed shoulders with

she was happy, and some Of the boys
SMILED bit, just because she was
crying. Then there was all the jolly
fun that goes with q tree.
But soon they took her away. She
was so tired that she fell asleep right
after they put her back in bed. She
dreamed that she saw q flock of sheep
with their shepherds on great plain.
Suddenly there was great light from
above and she seemed to hear angels
singing.
She awoke. The singing did not
stop. She arose and opened the win
dow. 49,.
There, in the moonlight under her
window stood her Choir Brothers with
lighted candles, like the Christmas
carol singers Of Old England. They
were singing this hymn:
"Hark! the Herald Angels sing"
When the verse was finished the
Choir Sister leaned out and called
down to them: ~.
brothers, you have made me love
God whole lot more. A merry
Christmas to you ALL" "
"And to you!" they echoed.
AS the Choir Sister crept back to
bed she heard the voices of the boys
die away in the distance. Then q
chime Of bells somewhere out In the
great snow-white world rang out the

down. The colonel leaned farther
back in the enveloping leather and
volley of expan ding rings poured
from beneath the carefully trimmed
white mustache.
That" he said with a wave of his
hand toward the throngs, set me to
thinking of how in my country school
days we big, bad boys sometimes
locked the teacher out to make him
give US a Christmas treat. At the
precise moment you soaked me on the
shoulder l was thinking of the time
We locked out our teacher. We noti-
fed him a week beforehand that we
expected him to give us a nice, sub
stantial treat when school let out
as we said, on Christmas eve. He had
been good-natured fellow and had
succeeded in keeping on good terms
with us scamps in spite of US, so as
we wanted, for the reason, to let him
of as easily as possible we specified
only a box Of oranges and a box Of
candy.
"'Tll think about it, he said, laugh
ing, and we supposed it was as good
as agreed to.
so when on the morning Of Christ
mas Eve day Mr.. Teacher arrived
without anything that possibly could
contain treat, We were hurt-doubly
hurt to think that supposed friend
would treat us so. We silently waited
till the noon hour, and when lunch
cons had been hurriedly gulped, two
of US were detailed to get him away
from the school house on some pre-
text or other. They succeeded, but
he didn't stay long, as it was cold
day and there was snow. When he
found the door locked he ratified the
knob and called:
"'Open the door, please! 1t is l, Mr..
c.
Sorry one OF the boys replied
through the keyhole, but you'll have
to give us a Christmas treat before
we let you in . ....., ....

ragged newsboys and pinched-faced
little girls who gazed quite as eagerly
as she at the Christmas dolls hold
ing outstretched arms to the passers-
by.
Are they-are they to SELF" she
asked timidly, of little girl who
held her baby sister by the hand and
stamped her feet to keep them warm.
"Sakes alive, yes!" said the other,
in establishment. Amt that one with
the black curls too cute for any
thing!' she added, gazing at it with
wistful eyes.

store. The doll with the black

Sure" said the salesman.
Eliza beth fshed a dollar bill out OF
her little chain purse and watched

heaped in pyramids with trays of
fudge and molasses-candy in between.
She stopped, and, without any hes
itation this time, gave them each a
cent.
Her chain purse was empty now,
her exhilarating occupation gone, and
she stood, forlorn little figure in her
ermine and velvet, on the corner Of
the crowded street.
She had remained thus for some lit
tie time when she heard quick step
behind her and she was quickly grasp
ed by strong but kindly hands and
swung on to the steps.
"So-ho!" said D. big man, who had
come up the street. IT'S Mistress
Elizabeth Rockerby! What are you up
to, Betsy Jane?"

kind was she that all the boys loved
her.
It was easy to like the Choir Sister
too, because she played ball with the
boys before rehearsals. And those
nights when the Choir Master let
them invite their frienls in for games
she was the girl most of them wanted
for partner.
So anyone can see why the boys
were blue when Rieky Jackson, her
brother, came into the choir room

So Ricky told how she had come

and had to stay in bed, and how she
cried when she thought Of the tree
