he had suddenly felt a deaire to see
what New York looked like in winter.
Augusts mother, with admirable pres
ence OF mind, found time to whisper to
him:
Say you have broken IT.
Then she said aloud:

gust such a costly present. You quita

At first he felt as II there was q
splendid change to get revenge, but as
he saw his parents scared eyes and
remembered what she had said about
the sacrifice his father had to maNae
for his sake he wanted to show them
that they might trust him. and said:
1T is broken. It was not my fault.
II fell-out OF the window. wanted
to see It fiy--and II fell down into the
street-and big notorious smashed II

He spoke quickly, inventing the details
as he went along and while he talked
he sobbed aloud. for he thought Of the
fact that the aeroplane was lost to him
anyway.

August was still sobbing hystericaliy.
His parents exchanged eloquent
glanoes, and his sister shrugged her
shoulders. He could not eat any sup
per and was packed Off to bed.
In bed he cried as he had never cried
before. The present his godfather had
sent him was so glorious that he had
never dreamed such toys existed. As
his parents were anything but wealthy.
his presents were always OF the use

heart was longing for a single toy.

liberal and appreciated the smallest
kindness and attention shown him. He
was particularly fond OF his little god
son and sent him some expensive toy on
every birthday, but August had never
even been allowed to touch the toys as
his mother said he was sure to break
them and so she put them away for
later on. AS he was an early thinker
he asked himself II ali these things
were to be kept until he was twenty
and how they could possibly know that
he would break them when he had
never had anything TO break yet.
This time the greatest pleasure Of the
year to which he looked forward for
many months had been taken away from
him by another and perhaps even by
one whom he should see playing with
it. When he thought OF this he felt like
getting up and breaking the aeroplane
but he was too much afraid and finally
fell asleep.
The next morning the aeroplane. care

boy. half crazy with curiosity, had to
be satisfied TO wait for the hour when
his father should come home from busi-

gust was dying with excitement, he
slowly put on his house coat and slip

The box proved to be miniature

for a passenger. A book or directions
told exactly how to make the aero
