 She argued with herself that she might have known that the New Yorb shops could not be relied upon to sent tree to the suburbs at so short ' notice, but that did not help the situa tion.
 Regina shrank from facing those twelve little girls whose smiles would vanish in childish disappointment when they learned that the tree they had been promised was not to be theirs.
 The tears brimmed over and fell Regina's vision was cleared and in the clearing she gazed directly at the miniature fir tree in the vacant loi next door. A sense of keen delight swept over Regina. After all, he, children would have 3 tree!

BEST TOYS FOR CHRISTMAS
They Should Suggest Action and Set the Mind of the Child
 at Work.

In selecting toys for the children's Christmas, remember they should he such as to suggest action, and bring the imagination into play, as it is the child who plays, not the toy, and imagination is the soul of the play The best toys are those which set the mind to work, and give the little brain scope for expansion. This is one Of the strongest recommendations for the simpler toys. The wonderful mechanical toys sold in the shops are complete in themselves, and leave the child nothing to do but to wind them ID and start them going Tn this case, it is the toy that plays. not the child. Children soon weary of hay ing nothing to do, and, losing interest in the monotonous repetitions, the lit- tie inquisitive mind sets about in- vestigating the internal mechanism, greatly to the damage of the toy. which is soon ruined and thrown away, while the child turns for amuse- ment to the old toys that are so hopelessly undone tkat everything they are supposed to do must come from the play-spirit in the child.

 Regina laughed and the whole world seemed to echo the laugh.

trudged of toward the fir tree in the vacant lot
 Regina's eyes were tco intent on her mission to see that a thin curl of smoke was twisting from the chim ney of the bungalow that rambled in the lot beyond the vacant one.
 Regina drew near the coveted tree and her heart expanded lovingly.
 What little beauty" she ex. claimed half aloud.
 The little tree was of special origin and stood not much higher than Re. gina. Over it's branches. g veil oi smoke seemed to finger. After nc ment spent in admiration, the girl put down her big tub and began to clear away the light fall of snow from about the roots of the tree. Her cheeks were gloriousIy red and the sparkle in her eyes rivaled the day itself.
 When the snow was cleared Regina swung the great ax into the frozen earth. The ground scarcely responded to her strength. She swung again.
 Hey! What are you doing to that tree!"
 Regina dropped her ax and gazed in the direction of the deep, gruff voice. A man was standing on the veranda of the bungalow.
 Regina picked up her ax and with dignity swung it again.
 T say there, you-that tree be longs to mel" The man was coming toward her.
 Regina stopped and turned. 'This is vacant lot" she called out with esperity.
 The approaching male vhistled. His speed quickered He made an invol. untary movement to raise a cap that in his haste he had forgotten to put on.
 T beg your pardon his voice had lost the grlff quality, T thought you were an-but-that tree is mine. I brought it ID from my fathers gar den in the south" David Langhorn spoke rapidly. Regina's face was rather startling in it's beauty and he had desire to cover her emharrass. ment. "I have taken very special care of that tree"
 "yery special" Regina said coldly. "I have lived here a whole summer and no ore-''
 ''I have been away-lately.".

How The Government Gets
 Seeds That Never Grow

The day of joy. among the seed merchants was set for stock was passed over to Uncle Sam. The Department of Agriculture called for bids for approximately 1,2oo, 900 lbs. of vegetable and 5o,ooo lbs, of flower seed. It is signih- cant fact that the seed deal CTS never oppose the free dis tribution of government seeds, and the reason is not difficult to hnd. And Cong ressmen and Senators hardly dare kick, because they are the chief benehciaries of the plunder plan The best seeds supplied by the government are from the experimental farms.
