Baby's Money Box.

1t was Christmas Eve. A beautiful
woman sat staring dolefully at the en-
bers OF the fire.
christmas Eve" she murmUred, and
no money TO buy baby a Christmas
gift"
Slowly her eyes wandered round the
room until, with a guilty start. they
rested on something standing on the
mantelpiece.
II was baby's money box. Her hand
clutched the chair conculsively.
IF l only dared" she murmured.
But what would John say?"
For a few moments she stood debat-
ing the awful question in her mind,
and then she took the box In her hands.
John need never know" she whisp-
cred.
Then. with guilty face, she broke
open the box and emptied on to the
table a collection of-tin tacks, nails,
etc.
John had been there first.
