Miss Webb pulled long, mysterious

"My-my ing-broken-," gasped
the bird.
"Oh, what a pity!" cried the kind
hearted Spruce. "I hope it won't
hurt you long. But-but how will
you survive the Winter, little bird?
Why, you will freeze to death when
the chill North Wind begins bowling
through the forest. Aha! l have it!
Here, here, little fellow, I'll bend one
of my branches down and you must
climb up on 1t.
Then I'll lift you, ever SO gently
until you can hop to the next one;
and SO, upward and upward until you
reach a nice little hollow 1 have just
under my largest branch. Rest there
a day or two and then build yourself
snug, warm nest-I'll help you all
can. And there, dear little birdie
you will be snug as bug in a rug
while the snow flies. Come, hop upon
this branch-there-now we
are!"
Just then the voice of the great
North Wind doomed cut through the
forest; and an angry voice it was, too.
'Ho. you Oak and you Birch and
you other selfish trees." it roared. 'I
am angry at you! Why did you not
hearken to the plea of this poor, weary
little bird with a broken pinion! You
could have sheltered him-and you
would not! I shall have no mercy on
you! From this moment I shall rage
through your branches and sweep off
every leaf. And you will be cold and
uncovered the whole Winter through

heart-because you took pity upon

"
long ago, a poor little bird was
hurt and could not follow his
" companions, who had already
set out on swift wings for the warm
South. Somehow, his wing had been
broken at the tip and he could not fly
along with the others. So, tagging
behind. the cold winter overlook him.
AS he hoped slowly and painfully
along, able to fly only a very short
distance now and then, he came to a
huge oak tree.
II pray thee, Mighty OAK" he said,
grant me the shelter of thy branches
and, perhaps, a hollow in thy great
trunk in which 1 may build nest.
The winter, with its snow and ice, is
upon us and-see-I have broken
wing and cannot fly to the warm
South with my companions. I am
weary, oh, so weary, and I shall
freeze to death unless I can build me
nest somewhere safe and snug from
the North Wind"
But the Oak tossed its giant
the poor little bird hoped away, as
best it could, in terror.
"No-no" roared the big Oak. ct
the summer you birds steal my leaves
for your nests and-and if gave you
shelter you would eat my acorns.
Begone!"
The little bird ran and hoped and
half-fiew what seemed to him a long,
long way; then, almost exhausted, he
fell at the foot of a. birch tree.
IT am weary, oh, Birch" he walled,
| to- W, ic pvox erix
me shelter in your thick branches else
the North Wind will freeze me-
"Humph!" replied the naughty
Birch. II have other and more i'm
portant things to think about than a
bird with a broken wing! Why, what
difference does it make If the North
Wind, with its SHOWS, should kill you?
Good riddance, say! There are too
many birds, anyway"
So the poor little bird picked UP
his tired little body and stumbled
off further into the forest. Oh, how
weary he was! And how his broken
wing panied him! But, most of all,
he thought of the dreadful Winter
that would shut down upon him and
freeze him to death.
One by one he begged each Of the
trees in the forest to give him shelter
Just one little nook among their
branches where he could build nest
and be protected by their leaves. But
none would listen to him. They all
refused upon one pretext or another.
At last, when his poor little heart
within him was barely beating and
he scarce had breath enough in his
weary body to ask, he came to the
Spruce tree.
TIL am weary and he be-
gan.
why, bless my soul, If that isn't
a little bird down on the ground!"
the Spruce exclaimed. what in the
world are you doing here, little fell
low? BY this time in the year all
birds should have flown to the warm,
sunny Southland"

~ HE fire in the CRATE burned so
"A brightly that you could see
right through the fabric of the
- four stockings as they hung sus-
pended from the mantel above the and
irons. There was one of Sidney's
long, heavy, black stockings; then
came one of Ellens white ones; then
O shorter one in tan belonging to
Walter; and last of the row was a
chubby white one owned by the baby
of the family, little Paddy.
The four children were seated
about the fire. dressed in their night
clothes. After the excitement of
hanging the stockings they had been
permitted by their parents to sit a
few minutes before the fireplace
through which old Santa was to come
that night.
Hope I get my doll and dishes"
said Ellen.
Hope I get my Noah's Ark and
dog that can rum" said Walter.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-07

Yes" And Sidney felt important.
Santa began to fill the stockings,
beginning with Paddy's. In it he
poured a little candy and fastened a
woolly lamb on the nail by which it
was hanging. Then he turned to Wal
ter's, putting some candy in it and
placing a Noah's ark and a toy dog
on the mantel above the stocking. In
Ellen's he left some candy and tried
to stuff the doll in it also but found
1t wouldn't fit. so he laid 1t on the
mantel.
Then Santa turned to sidney's
stocking.
Il believe you asked for skates"
he said.
Yes, SIR" replied Sidney, excited
ly, as he watched the old saint stick
bright pair of skates in his stock
ing.
Then Santa turned. picked up his
pack, extended his hand to Sidney and
said:
We'll, goodbye, old man. I'll see
you again next Christmas, I hope"
Then he prepared to ascend the
chimney.
"W-wait minute, Santa" stam-
mered Sidney. You forgot some-
thing"
What? My gloves?"
mo. You forgot to leave me any
candy"
| Candy" exclaimed Santa. Surely
young man like you doesn't care for
candy"
-yes-that is-well Santa, l like
a little candy now and then"
| How much do you want?"
| Take the skates back if you want
to, Santa, but l would just like to see
that stocking bubbling over with choc-
'lates and gumdrops all the time"
"You greedy boy!" exclaimed Santa.
1T thought you were too manly to
care for candy" Sidney flushed.
We'll, Sidney, if you must have it, I'll
take out the skates and grant your
I desire. have made your stocking
magic. You shall now have all the
candy you want" And he was gone.
Sidney turned to his stocking and
was amazed to see it actually bub-
bling over with candy The big, black
stocking was stretched to it's fullest
capacity and running over. Soon a
huge pile lay on the mantel and then
1t began dropping to the floor. Sidney
made haste to try some of the gum
drops but he soon saw he couldn't
