And so, in pleasant reflection upon

real country Of deep hills and red sun

Suddenly she thought of something,
a something so different that it made
her heart go thumpty-thump. She
would go to the wonderful toyshop,
just around the corner and see for her
self, if her friend was there.
But not tired, hurried clerk Of the
shop had time to answer Rosie's ques-
tons. Finally she approached tall

no more. The Jumps would stick in

swallowed.
Just what might have happened is
hard to say. If. lady standing near
hadn't heard what Rosie said and
wanted to help her. She knew exactly
what to do.
An hour later, after seeing Pietro at
his little shop, Rosie rode away with
the lady, who was very beautiful, by
the way, in her big automobile, to the
hospital, where the poor Sanity had
been taken the night before.
It was wondering, curious little
Rosie, who followed her friend down
the long, cool hall to the ward where
the sick Sanity man lay. Timidly she
walked to the mans beside. He saw
her. He held out his hand. Rose
grabbed it and held it close and fast
in her own little hands.

!ically.

as the enormity of the girls project
came to her. "You may have it al
your own terms" she said impulsively
(; obi" For a moment the girl held
it to her breast, then she handed the
money without regret to the woman
In the days that followed the woman
became very fond of the girl, for she
came often to gaze with awe upon the
silver caddy of quaint design, and in
the short visits the woman learned
to know what difference an ideal
can make in life. In watching the
girls love for the thing that kept her
poorer than she need have been the
woman found her own life broadening.
On Christmas eve a young man per.
sistently tried to buy the caddy, until
the woman finally told him the story
of its sale. He listened in wonder,
and then asked for the name Of the
girl, who seemed 50 great a marvel
that he wanted his mother to see and
help her.
The same evening, after the young
man had left, the girl made her final
payment, and with wild Joy throb-
bling in her heart carried the tea
caddy home, and with it beautiful
bunch of holly, festive touch from
the woman.
She had pinched hard to save the
so cents each week. but her reward
was great, and worth the happiness
the ideal had always given her.
It was again Christmas eve, and a
dainty woman wrapped in soft fur
coat, opened the door. Of the little
shop. and with extended hand came to
the woman. Merry Chrhmas!" she
exclaimed. Don't you remember me?"
In the deep, winsome eyes there was
something familiar, and suddenly the
woman threw her arms about the girl,
and peering over her head espied the
man.

planned. my mother found her for
me, and we wanted to come to thank
you for what you have done"

The woman held her very close, laugh

was Christmas. for outside faraway
bells were ringing.

After seconds hesitation she opened
the door and walked bravely into the
little shop.
"The tea caddy?" she asked of the
woman who greeted her fnquiringly.
"How much is it,"
"The little silver one?" The woman
looked her surprise, as she noted the
shabby black coat and much-worn
skirt. "You wanted to buy it," she
asked kindly, for something in the
girls eyes made her know she was in
earnest. 1T is $685."

gasped, and as suddenly as it had
come the brightness left her eyes.
Twenty she repeated. I'm
afraid could never afford that" She
gripped her pay envelope firmly and,
turning, walked out of the shop.
In her tiny room, as she cooked her
meager dinner over the gas plate, and
later, when lying wide awake in her
narrow bed, she thought of the beau
tiful tea caddy. She thought until it
became cherished ideal, vested with
wonderful scenes among the great
people of the world.
The following day she neglected her
lunch, anG hurried to the shop to once
more view the wonderful caddy.
When she entered the woman greet
