For the Children

4 ZOE, you Joe, come here this
-, "',s,:~ aSs:. .,.. rn ..n,,... ~,
the owner of the voice ran
into the room where his master stood
before the fire playing with a big Irish
setter.
Joe was small colored boy who
lived down on big plantation in vlr-
ginia more than fifty years ago, In the
days when people owned slaves and
called the people who owned them mas
ter. But Joe had a good home. His
duties were to run about and wait on
Mr.. Winston, but of late there had
been a great deal of trouble in the
place. There were hundreds of acres
and plenty Of slaves. but the war be-
tween the North and South had brought
sorrow and ruined crops and no one to
work the lands.
So instead of merry Christmas, 1t
would be very sad one. Mr. Winston
was back home from the army for a
weeks leave on account Of sickness,
but there was nothing with which to
make merry. Nothing but few sides
OF fat bacon. some cornmeal and a lean
turkey left. -.
wei, Joe, what do you thtnk of our
chances for Christmas?" laughed Mr..
Winston. What have you in the house
for the children?' >
Use 'fraid We amt got nothing bur
some chestnuts and popcorn. Mas'r,''
grinned Joe But 4 reckon we a,is can

Mr. Winston drew out his pi.tol, laid
it On the table and lay down en- the
sofa. He was thinking of the two chill
dren in their bed in the room above. No
toys for them now. For these were war
times. and they were glad to get any
thing to eat Rough clothing Was all
that could be had. coffee was made of
dried sweet potatoes. and candy was
something not to be bought. iEyen
sugar was hard to get at any price.
So molssses taffy. chestnuts and pop
corn would be the Christmas feast
Joe sat on the rug petting the dog.
Suddenly his master looked up. 'tJoe,,i

dog. Well. If vou will get some toys for
the kids by II tonight. YOU can have
him ra.-
As Joe started out OF the door to go
TO his cabin he heard the jingle of
wagons. Running back to the house
he grabbed the pistol he saw on. the
table and thrust ii into his belt Then.
with the dog at his heels, he dashed
down the road behind the creaking wa
CONS that were taking goods down into
the valley to the Union winter quarters.

self. And maybe kin cotch one
Just then the last wagon broke down
ard the others trotted on ahead. There
was a good deal of complaining by the
driver at this mishap, for II took half
An hour to fix the broken pole, but at
last the team was ready to start. But
as the man climbed back on his sea
Joe came down iIfto the road with his
pistol cooked
You Jest GIT back on dat wagon. turn
around and drive up this lane" he sal
in a voice as big as he could make it.
AS he stood in the shadow the driver
talking, but he caught sight OF the
CLEAN of the pistol and held up his
hands.
The moonlight was misty and forms
looked vague, so the driver thought
best to take no chances 1t might be
one man. Or il might be one of a large
band of rangers. So he turned UP the
lane and drove up into the yard of the
Winston home. 1t had begun to snow
by this time, and as the driver had a
white beard, he looked like Santa on
his Christmas rounds.--Joe fired ore
shot into the air. With-one bound Mr..
Winston rushed and opened the door,
Through the whirling- snow he could
see a man seated in a. wagon of bundles
and boxes and hanging on to the end
pole was little black Joe with the set
ter wagging his tail at the fun.
Il dun cotch Santa Claus, Mas'r.
cotch him down In the road Jest now"
shouted Joe as he placed the pistol In
Mr. Winston's hand. ~
We'll. guess this is a legal capture"
laughed Mr.. Winston, as he ordered the
driver TO get down. &Yankee wagons
they are full of Christmas goodies
guess the Yankees can spare US a few
things to eat"
So the driver and the servants brought
all the boxes into the big room. There
were pounds of candy, raisins, nuts.
and cakes in the lot. Tho children
came trooping down. the slaves ran in
from their cabins. and the whole house
was in happy uproar of delight. Even
the driver Joined in and enjoyed him
self immensely and felt sorry the next
morning when Mr. winston sent him
on his way back.
So Joe captured Santa Ciaus and got
the big. red Irish setter SS his own
Christmas present.
