With this in her hand she climbed

too late. The bedroom opened with
folding doors into q sitting room, at
one end of which was a mantel,
where on all the Christmas ewes that

hang his stocking there, too, but he
said that the leg Of his stocking was

wanted, and, besides, it was only chill

The driving storms Of greetings.
Gusts of kisses and surprised
Sing in again the mirth

Polly slept on Christmas morning
later than any other child in the great
city, and when her father, who had
risen before she had awakened, passed

AS he had helped to hang up the other
stockings the night before this one
seemed so strange to him that he look

thing he found was a letter:

he saw that the first glance of her

She put her face close to his and
stroked his cheek with her hand, and
then her mother came. and altogether
they had merry morning with the
gifts which Santa Claus had brought.
But Polly said never n word about the
big black stocking That was q secret
between her and Santa Claus.
