work every day, and there was
no one to care for baby John, who was
three years old, or Maggie, who was
five.
Mary AIMS father was not worth
much to his family, because II he
earned any money he went to the saloon
on the corner and spent it, and then
he would lose his work and be so cross
that all his family was afraid of him.
And this was the reason that Mary
Ann had to be little mother to her
brother and sister. ..-.
1t was nearing Christmas, and Mary
Ann was asked SO many questions by
Maggie that 1t puzzled her small head
to answer them.
"Will Santa Claus bring our tree, or
will we have one here ready for him
10 put the presents on?" Maggie asked
Pretty tree: Johnny wants tree, too"
said Johnnie. pointing to the tree In a
shop window that had brought up the
question of Christmas.
Everybody don't have trees" said
Mary Ann. You hang UP. your stocking
and Santa Claus will put things in it
just the same as on the tree"
Maggie. with tears In her eyes. 1--WE
didn't have any last year, and you said

Johnnie. and Mary Ann picked him >lp
and tried To sooth him, ..
But all the Joy OF seeing the Christ
mas tree and the toys In the shop win
dows had gone for Maggie, and Johnnie,
hearing her crying for a Tree, sobbed
louder than ever. Mary Ann guided
them into the first doorway she found
and tried to quiet them.
If you Keep on crying you'll never
get o me- she said. Santa Claus don't
bring trees TO. boys and girls that cry,
and. besides that. nobody knows what
he Is going to give them for Christmas.

Christmas Day
This half promise served to urIiet hath
children. but poor little Mary Ann kept
up hard thinking, wondering how She
could provide a tree for her little sister
and brother. =.
Her father haS not mad work for a
month. and all her mother earned went
for rent and food. and there was very
little food. So far as Christmas was
concerned. it might just as well be any
other dav for Mary Ann and her brother
and sister.
If there was any Christmas Mary Ann
knew sEe Would nave 10 proFlQe IL, but
how was she to do II was the question
that bothered her small head.
The day before Christmas Mary Ann
thought OF something. and after she
had given Johnnie and Maggie their
bread and moasses lunch she put John
ME on his bed and told him to go to
sleep II he wanted a tree. and Maggie
was told not to leave the, room until
Mary Ann returned. Mary Ann drew
her thin shawl over her head and close
about her shoulders and ran down the
street. She did rot. stop running until
she reached a street quite a distancd
from her home. She did not know
much about the city where she lived.
but she remembered that she went with

the other night that foxy schemes

Two men were having a fraternal talk

them told Of his experience with a
tramp.
He came to my house." said the man,
banged on the kitchen door. walked in
and demanded something to eat. Right
there decided to give him the scare of
his life. Going into the next room, I
liberated the alarm clock in pretending
to call up the police station, and told
the Imaginary man at the other end of
the imaginary wire to hurry an officer
down to arrest tramp. When 1 re-
turned to the kitchen the hobo was

He was gone, eh?" laughed the other.

of clothes the day before Christmas,
and had seen trees in the windows OF
several Of the houses.
1t was into this street that Mary Ann
turned; the people who lived here were
not the rich class, but had comfortable
homes.
Mary Ann. walked along the narrow
street that ran along the back of those
houses until she came to one where, the
window was low and a big tree could
plainly be seen. Then she opened the
gate and looked around the yard.
Her face showed disappointment Tor
minute. and then she saw stepladder'
and her face frightened. Then she
closed the gate and ran home;
That night her mother had to WORK
late, so II was easy for Mary Ann to go
out after dark, and the promise OF a
tree kept Maggie and little JOHNNIE
awake.
Are we going to get our tree?" asked
