Santa's Christmas
By MARY ID. ARNOTT

Lindenette struggled vainly with the
tears that squeezed at last through
tired eyelids. 1T was not often that
the brave little homemaker gave way
TO grief, but in the present moment
she seemed unable to control her emo
ton.
In the next room childish voices
prattled joyously. Lindenette had
not found the heart to tell them that
Christmas would have TO come and go
without the much heraided visit from
Santa Claus. Since the loss OF both
parents Lindennette had managed to
keep a roof over the heads OF her
small brother and sister and had pro-
vided food for their slight frames.
What did IL matter IL her cheeks had
lost their roses and her lips their
CHEEKY bloom? The smile fingered.
That was all that mattered.
She brushed her tears aside and
arose to answer an unexpected sum-
mons from the knocker. She looked
her surprise at the great man who
stood on her tiny porch.
II have come in search OF one Lin
den Lane" the stranger said with a
smile to which the girl responded.
THE name is unusual" admitted
Lindennette. and my own is even
more mpossible-being Lindennette
Lane. May / ask, you in from the
cold p She opened the door and
Marvin Goodwin entered the pitifully
barren room into which she led him.
His eyes followed the girl rather than
the contents of the room.
Two small, pale faces peered at him
from the kitchen door, and Goodwin
smiled at them.
do look like Santa CLAUSE" he
asked them by way of breaking the
ice.
mo. you don't" returned the boy.
bluntly. Besides, Linda says it may
be too cold for Santa Claus TO come
out this year" There was a wall from
the little sister, and the boy strove
vainly TO conceal his disappointment
at this announcement.
Linda gave them each a hug and
told them to run along. When they
had gone she turned TO Goodwin with
inquiry in her eyes.
MY errand is pleasant one" he
said quickly, for his own voice was
none too controlled. 1T will add to
your happiness, l know" He drew
a memorandum from his pocket, and
after consulting it, asked: Your ia
Their, Linden Lane? Did he live in
Saltwater, Mimi, 90 years ago?"
Yes" replied Linda. with blush
of excitement lending roses TO her
cheeks. II was born there"
Then, to come directly to the
point" Goodwin told her I'VE find two
deposits OF s25 each in two OF our
hanks there One Linden L Lane
opened the account % years ago"
Linda laughed softly.
MY father used always to fear bank
failures, and put small amounts in
many banks" She turned sparkling
eyes upon Goodwin. I'VE thought we
had collected all his savings" she
said.
These two nests were undiscover-
ed" the man laughed, "and the hens
have been laying golden eggs. You

have, at this very minute $500"
Three hundred dollars! OH" she
impulsively held out her two toilworn
little hands, 1T is fortune! The
children. They can have their Santa
Claus!'
Goodwin found himself feeling hap
pier than ne remembered having felt
before. Was II the knowledge that he
had been the Good Fairy in this small
family, or was II something more sub
tie, more wonderful that had crept
into his mind?
He laughed a trifle nervousiy.
II am going TO ask for immediate
payment for the JOY / have found for
YOU" he said and when Lindas ques-
tioning eyes met his he said impetu-
ousiy: Let me come tomorrow-and
help make Christmas glad for the
children. May / Gomez"
Linda glanced at him with new
shyness. Yes" she said, simply. IF
you like i will go with you to help get
that Christmas tree"
Next morning Linda and the chill
dren were up early.
The cracking OF the fire as II roared
up the stovepipe created a spirit OF
cheerfulness that greeted Marvin
Goodwin when he presented himself
at an early hour.
oh" shouted Bobby, heres our
own Santa Claus" His eyes were
glued to the armful OF packages Good
win deposited on the table.
Haven't you ever been Santa Claus
before?" queried Peggy.
Never! This is my very first ex-
perience. / hope l will acquit myself
with proper dignity"
And Lindas eyes over the heads of
the children, looked down deep into
Goodwin's big soul, and unconsciously
she let the man read what her heart
was saying.
Next Christmas" he was saying in
his mind, Linda will have permanent
roses in her cheeks, and her eyes will
be mine, and that will be all the hap
piness one Santa Claus could have"
Lindenette smiled.

Washington Irving, Father
of American Christmas.

Although the nature of our cele-
brations may vary, Christmas itself
will always be for Americans the great
holiday OF the year. Our love for it is
deeply implanted. 1t is the season for
the expression OF our best selves and
love for our fellow men, our happi-
ness and contentment with our lot. 1t
is our American. temperament to run
to extremes, and our celebration of
Christmas is no exception TO the rule,
but these excuses, such as our too
lavish making of gifts, will be re-
formed naturally without in any sense
taking the best of our Christmas from
us.
How many Of us realize that ii was
Washington Irving who gave us our
Christmas as we celebrate IL today :?
Dickens did a great deal, but Irving
came first. Christmas is Of course, a
Dutch holiday, with its trees and
lights and toys. and who has taught
us SO well how to love and understand
them as has Irving? Latterly the
celebration has assumed a more char

A FINE

DR.. j. II. Fonger, besides being a
popular and successful physician and
surgeon, has a strong penchant for col
lecting rare and valuable relics. His
collection, which he keeps in the drug
store, is worth while going a long way
to see. He has guns of all makes,
made years ago, and his collection of
small arms is large and valuable.
Among this collection might be men
toned a genuine Colts navy revolver.
This particular Weapon is very rare
and is quite valuable as a relic. He
has many other rare and interesting
relics which are very interesting.
This collection is the largest in the
west and is highly prixzed by the
owner. He has been years in making
this collection, and adds to it as fast
as opportunity offers. Step in and
toxic a look at it.-Gary Inter State.

Indefinite periods at various points Of

such a ridiculous trip.
1t was Lord T~ennington's plan to
cruise through the Mediterranean and
the Red sea to the Indian ocean and
thus down the east coast. putting in at
every port that was worth the seeing.
And so it happened that On a certain
day two vessels passed In the strait Of
Gibraltar. The smaller, a trim white
yacht. was speeding toward the east
and on her deck sat a young woman
who gazed with sad eyes upon n dia-
mond studded locket which she idly
fingered. Her thoughts were far away
in the dim, leafy fastness OF a tropical
jungle. and her heart was with her
thoughts.
She wondered If the man who had
given her the beautiful bauble, that had
meant so much more to him than the
intrinsic value which he had not ever
known could eve have meant to him.
