TT was night
The window Of the little shop
was full to overlooking with
u Christmas toys. In the dim light
from 8 single jet-for the shop was q
small one In q dingy side street-they
seemed TO be all iumbled together
Some were standing on their feet; 9TH
ers stood at an angle, tilted against
each other or against the glass OF the
window; ard still others lay prone,
like heaps OF wounded upon a battle
field.
Long since, the Christmas crowds,
which had wended their merry way
through the shopping district, had re
turned to their homes and, no doubt
to dreams of Christmas Eve and the
morning following.
The chimes In the tall spire Of d
nearby church rang out two o'clock
Suddenly. there came a stir among
the toys In the window, q rustic as
of many email bodies turning over
Strengthening out cramped limbs and
breathing deeply.
Over In one corner Of the window
stood Il Soldier Bold. and beside him
a Jointed DolI-yery proud Of her
toints-dressed In Il becoming gown
OF baby blue. At their feet sat Sato,
a boy-doll from the lana Of the
Mikade.

he reached up with both hands and

ways at the Jointed Doll.
But she was looking down demurely
and smoothing out a slight wrinkle
in her skirt.

kimona sleeves.
Soldier Bold smiled scornfully.
shrugged his shoulders and glanced
again out Of the corner of his eye at
the yointed Doll. 'Humh!" he said
disdainfully. II don't call this cold
but a soldier, Of course, doesn't mind

selected me as one of the toys for
