Uncle Peter had promised Ethel a gold watch for Christmas present, and now they had come to buy 1t; but, first, they were going up to the toy department so that Ethel might zee all the wonderful playthfngs.
 Up in the toy department little Ad- die Simpson ran to and from bundle counter to busy clerks every time one of them called "Forty-three!"
 Addie's number was "Forty- -three,'' and every one called her by that num-

 ter, and when he had plenty or work there were light and cheer and warmth ill the home But after he had fallen from a ladder and broken his leg nara times came to the family in the cottage, and the two little boys. Richard and Robin, whispered together that surely Santa Claus would not find them this year. In former years he had been good to the two little boys. but this year things would be different.
 On Christmas eve, after the little boys had gone to bed, MT. Judd whis- pered to his wife that Santa Claus might leave some nuts and candies for Richard and Robin and that he himself had Whittled them two boats that were handsoIner than those in the shops, and Mrs. Judd had boiled some molasses and made big painful of walnut taffy from the store Of black walnuts in the attic.
 Just at that moment MT. Judd saw a piece of paper pinned to Robins stock ing. It was written ill the little lads big round handwriting
 What is that?' he asked, going to the mantclpiece
 "Robn's letter to Santa Claus. I haven't read it yet. What does it say?" asked Mrs. Judd as she cut the taffy into nice squares and prepared to wrap it in the waXed paper.
 MT. Judd read the paper, and his eyes twinkled. "He asks Santa Claus to bring him a little sister, He doesn't want anything else. He says he can be happy playing with her all the year around
 ''The dear child." sighed Mrs. Judd. What is that?" they both spoke to- gether, for from the porch outside they heard q funny little sound that sound cd strangely like q baby's cry. "It sounds like a baby" said MT. Judd, going to the door and turning the knob quickly.
 "lt can't be!' said Mrs. Judd, follow ing him.
 When Mir. Judd opened the door the snowstorm tried to enter the warm room. The carpenter peered out into the whiteness and then down and lift ed something that was huddled against the door.
 Its basket and there's a baby in- side!' he cried as he closed the door and set the basket and its contents on the table.
 Sure enough, in nest of warm clean blankets was q six months old baby girl; blue eyed, golden haired, dimpled. Her clothes were coarse but clean, and pinned to her white frock was a note saying that the babys mother was dead and that her father was going to a far country and made a present of ! her to the kindest people in the town , he knew.
 And there was some money in the en- velope, all that the poor father could spare. It was very little. "Shall We keep hcr:" asked Mir. Judd, | for they were quite poor and his ill., l ness had brought many heavy bills to pay.
 "She came to US" whispered Mrs. Judd as she hugged the baby they had 1 found in the snow. We can spare enough for her. And the boys will be | 50 happy to have her.
 'That settles it!' said MT. Judd, and he went up into the attic after the lit tie cradle in which Richard and Robin used to sleep.
 When Christmas morning dawned 1 Richard and Robin crept out of bed and tiptoed into the sitting room. They

 Hurry along there, Forty-three!' said tine clerk. "What's the matter with you tonight?''
 Ethel watched Addie go to the bun dle counter and come running back with the parcels, and Ethel laughed.
 What are you laughing at, Ethel?' asked Uncle Peter.
 Ethel told him. "She jumps like a jack box, Uncle Peter"
 But Uncle Peter did not laugh. "She is very tired,' he said gravely. "Per haps she wishes that she was going to have a Christmas tree sn the morning and have nice dinner afterward."
 Perhaps she is, Uncle Peter," said Ethel, pouting, for she did not like to be reminded of poor people.
 Shall we find out?" he asked, and he walked right up to the bundle coun- ter and asked Forty-three where she lived and what was her real name.
 Addie looked frightened. "I haven't done anything wrong,' she said pitt fully of lose my job there will be no one to take care of grandmother.
 "Don't worry, Addie" smiled Uncle Peter. Were just going to call on grandmother; that's all"
 So tall Uncle Peter and the little girl in the fur coat who was just Addies age left the toy department and en- tered the motorcar and were soon whirling through the east side streets.
 They found grandmother almost help less with crippled hands and feet, but even rheumatism could not prevent her from making the room clean and neat. But there were no signs of Christmas.
 "Addie will be half dead with weari- ness after this Christmas rush," sighed grandmother.
 And how about Addies Christmas?'' asked Uncle Peter.
 Grandmother shook her silvery head. "We are thankful if we can keep warm for Christmas" she sighed. T wanted to get something, but could not"
 "Do you mind if we help?" asked Un- cle Peter
 Bless your kind hearts, shall be de- lightedv' And grandmother smiled so beautifully that Ethel could not help but think that Addie Simpson was rich in just having such grandmother.
 Uncle Peter and Addie had snch & busy hour after that The big auto took in the queerest load-a small Christmas tree and box of ornaments "a big basket of good things. chick en ard oranges and nuts and raisins and candy and vegetables. and back to i the, big department store where they aessas 1.s y.ss a x x sg.ss '9ssss sSat ssa 8sssss 8s!ssss|l.! sf

 And just as they reached the red ap- ples the little boys looked down and saw the old cradle with the snow ba- by's bright and blue eyes staring up at them.
 How the cottage rang with their cries of joy! How they hugged the new baby sister, whom they thought Santa Claus had left at their door: Rut we all know that sometimes when Santa Claus is very busy he has to ask erownup folks to help him distribute the good things at Christmas tide since he cannot get around to all the homes of fall.the good children in one evening without tiring his reindeer too much:

saIutina the Quarterback.

Every time an officer or a seaman
goes upon the quarterback he salutes
it. He never by any chance forgeta
this, one of the regular customs on
board, says Pearson's Weekly. The
quarterback is that part of the deck
reserved by officers, and many people
think that the reason why 1t is sa-
luted is out of respect for those Of
ficers. The why and wherefore Of the
saluting has far more interesting
origin than that, however, and one has
to go back hundreds of years to find
the beginning of the custom. In the
old days a crucitix used to stand on
the quarterback. In those days all
the sailors were Catholics. and. of
course. every time they approached
the crucifix they crossed themselves
to show their reverence for the holy
symbol. 1t Is many long year ago
since the cruciflx was there, but the
custom of saluting the quarterback,
which was a result of it, has been
handed down in the navy ever since.
