The horse and all the hun dreds of horses behind him spread out their wings and rose in the air. They went flying swiftly across the sea"
 Miss Dorcas," interrupted Robin in creduously. T didn't know that horses could fly. I thought they trotted on the streets like this.' The boy slipped down from his chair and kicked with his heels upon the floor.
 .'Guleesh's horse had wings-all fairy horses have wings," Dorcas laughed.
 Did you ever see a fairy horse?"
 I'm afraid l never did"
 Then how do you know that it's true?"
 Fairy stories tell us so."

 Oswald spoke stiffly. T hate to think of quarrel with you, Wentworth. I'll confess I have not a great deal of fighting blood in me. We don't seem to get along as well as we did at first; I don't know whether it is your fault or mine.' He paused as if waiting for Enoch to speak. Then he continued.

He lifted his hat with grave courtesy and walked past her. She followed to the door and watched him while he crossed the street.
 Her face famed scarlet and she bit her lips, then she laughed contemptu- ously and hurried through the dark theater to the stage. The place was deserted. She went straight to the letter-rack. In the shelf marked P she found several letters for herself. She was turning away when her eyes fell upon an envelope in the lower cor ner of the rack. She picked it out and sto"d for moment staring at it blank ly, then shc gasped. The letter was not for her. It was addressed in coarse, shaky writing, Mrs. Alice V. -,ourne, Gcthar. Theater, New York. ' It bore the Madison Square postmark. The wor s eyes were furtively searching the gloomy theater in all di- rections. She did not hear sound; i; nobody was in sight. She slipped the letter into her huff and ran upstairs.

plans of previous years, that of listing

tributed where they are most needed.
The Salvation Army is busy plan
ming to have its annual basket Christ
mas dinner and intends If possible to
make up almost 100 of them. The
American Rescue workers have a list
of people whom they intend to help
and are working hard to give these
families a merry Christmas.

mary Christmas benevolence were dis
cussed at a meeting of the Roberta
Disbrow Lloyd Sunshine Society yes

Many suggestions were made for an
improvement of the work this year,
but it was finally decided to hold a
special meeting next Monday at 3
o'clock, at which time a plan, some
what different from that of previous
years, will be adopted. In the mean
time members will visit many poor
families and ascertain their needs.
Members who can assist in this
work may receive, any time after We'd
nesday of this week, names and ad-
dresses, with Instructions from Miss
Matilda Hester, 100 North Front
street. Reports will then be made at
the special meeting on Monday.
Requests have been made for blank
cts and comforts. Members and
their friends are urged to donate such
articles, old or new, and they should
be sent to Miss Mary Miller, 1109
Green streets.

cerning the work done during the past
month, showing that shoes had
