Il don't know: something noble,

of it, this is the anniversary of the
very night when the General made
his famous bargain. Maybe that is
why he looks SO sly
Grace questioned with a sleepy
yawn, aWhat bargain, Clyde?'
3Ah, did you never hear about
thato It's rather jolly yarn. You
know, he was a great old chap, this
ancestor of mine, stern, and a
hard fighter, but with a touch of
grim humor at the bottom. You
see, the country folk here didn't
like him, because he lived in such
style, with his coach and outriders,
and brocades and ruffles. He had
slaves too. Oh, yes, we had slaves
in England in those days. But
folks couldn't imagine where the
General got all his money. |

graft was; but it is sure he was

The brass fire dogs made vague and distorted reflections
of it all
@This is the very fireplace; these are the original
andirons,-old English dogs that have guarded the
hearthstone of the Mortons since their beginning in this
land"
@What-happened- happened Clyde?"
@We, you see it like this. They say the old
General had interview in this very Christ
Eve with his Satanic Majesty. The General was
poor and ambitious. Old Nick was rich and covetous
of big souls like my greatgreat great grandfathers
So they made bargain. The General was great hand
at bargaining He agreed to sell his soul for bootful
of gold, which the devil to pour down this very
chimney; the General furnishing the boot. The bar
gain concluded just before midnight When the
clock struck twelve his Majesty top the Chin
ney ready with the coin. The General sat right here
before the fireplace with the boot-one of those high
jack boots, you know. Old Nick began to pour the
gold down the chimney into the boot. He poured and
poured and poured. But still the General called for
more. Hello called down Old Nick. Isn't that boot
filled yet?-'No! roared the General. Let her go!'
So the devil had to keep it UP, according to the bargain
The General sat chuckng; but the air about the Chin
ney top got buer and bluer with the remarks of his
Majesty. He kept calling down, Is it filled YETI? And
the General always answered, No, not yeti with
wink and grin all to himself; for though the boot
not half full, the hearth below heaped with yellow
gold. You see my clever granddad had cut off the toe
of the boot

@Clyde Morton! That is the hatefulest story ever
heard told Christmas Eve!" Grace pouted, pushing
his head from her knee.
@Well it happened Christmas Eve they say two
three hundred years ago-which was it9 l bet that
is why he looks so sly tonight. Maybe he will walk

3Horrors!' she cried. @Why do you suggest such

Eve one is indulgent. At
last the stocking was correctly
hung by the fireplace, and after
much capering and excitement
Benny was safely tucked away
in the great four-poster. Above
the sheets his little round face
with its shock of red hair looked
angelic.
Goodnight, Mama! Good
night, Papa!' he called to the
twain who kissed him fondly.
"A right. Yes, | go right to
sleep. The quicker | go to sleep
the quicker Santa Claus will
come, won't he, Mama?'
3Yes. The sooner you go to
sleep the sooner it will be Christ
mas morning, Son.
"A right. | hope he'll fill my
stocking full, Papa
al hope so, Benny They
opened the window bit and set
the screen between it and the bed.
Benny followed their move
ments with wide eyes in which
was no hint of drowsiness.
Goodnight, little boy
Goodnight
They closed the door softly,
and tiptoed across the hall into
the library, where a wood fire
was burning on the hearth. Grace
threw herself into a huge arm
chair and put her slippered feet
on the fender. Clyde drew low
ottoman beside her and leaned
against her knee. His hair was
red like Benny's. Above the
fireplace the portrait of a hand
some man in gorgeous waistcoat,
ruffles, and with a sword looked
down on the pair. His hair was
red too.
@How long do you suppose it
will be before he goes to Sleep
asked Grace, running her fingers
through the red hair. Il have
the presents all readyover there
she nodded toward a covered
basket in the corner, sitting a
yawn. 3Just as soon as Benny
is asleep we can fill his stocking
and then go to bed

Above the they the top of the dangling

seized the stocking, preparing to thrust fat orange
down to the toe.
3Clyde,' she whispered excitedly, 1look here!'
He flashed the light where she directed. Then she
had to place her hand over his mouth check the burst
of mirth that threatened to convulse him.
@Heredity!' gurgled Clyde. 4My red-haired kid is
chip of the old block! What do you say, Grace?"
The toe of Bennys stocking very neatly cut off
and below it on the floor the cherub had dragged

at his cigarette in silence
Grace stirred uneasly. @What was the story2" she
asked.

Clyde rose chuckling. 3All

tons, Grace. / am mighty
proud of them. But come on;
let's play Santa Claus for the
kid and forget them, if they
make you nervous" He winked
mischievously at the face above
the mantel, which seemed to
wink back at him.
With the basket between
them they tiptoed out of the
library, followed by the quiz
zical gaze of the Generals
portrait. At the door of Ben
ny's room they paused and
listened. There was no sound
but the gentle breathing of
the cherub enshrined in the
four-poster. The flash of
Clyde's pocket lamp guided
them to the fireplace. The
screen was drawn up close be-
fore it, around Benny's stock
ing.
