Robin looked up from her book once
and noticed that Aunt Hetty was
whispering to Anthony Drake as she
slipped a package into his hand Her
brief glance at his face surprised
look of mingled establishment and dis
belief as he went back to his place on
the platform
There were prayer and more Christ
mas carols. and then Parson Drake
came forward and announced that the
distribution of gifts would take place
II would like to add"-he hesitated
his eyes fixed on the clock in the rear
of the room-"that there will be one
gift on the tree tonight which has been
delayed two years in reaching its prop
er recipient. 1t was given by. mistake
to another person. who never looked at
it until today. l think the-the re-
cipient will understand"
With very red face Parson Drake
whipped out pocketknife and detaeA-
ed q package from the tree.
"Willie Brown he called. And VII
lie went forth to receive q book and a
bag of candy.
After that names followed thick and
fast, and boys and girls and grown
ups went to the platform with empty
hands and came back laden with pack
ages, oranges and bags of candy, and
presently the whole room was pleas.
ant buzz of talk and laughter.
AS for Robin Treat, she sat there like
a beautiful statue of snow ever since
the parson had made his announce
ment concerning the delayed present.
She wondered if it was for her. II
could not be that Aunt Hetty had re-
ceived it. although the old lady had
given the minister a package. But
that package would contain the knitted
silk muller for Mr.. Drake. Robin
shrugged her shoulders impatiently.
OF course the delayed gift was book
for one of the children. She turned to
smile down at Aunt Hetty. who was
taking chiIdlike pleasure in lapful of
gifts from the tree.
Miss Robin Treat" read ParSOn
Drake. and Robins face grew paler as
she went up the aisle. No one noticed
her going save Aunt Hetty. who looked
anxiOuSIy ut Robin as she came back
with large box of books and two
pink tarlatan bags of candy.
Othe" names followed. and greater
confusion of sound seemed to shut
Aunt lIetty and her niece from the
crowd.
"You got two bags. Robin. Let me

and the other, in the shape of a stock

used two years ago.
Her hands fell to sudden trembling
Was it possible that this was the de-
layed preSent-the one she should have
received two years ago? If so, then
she had received Aunt Hetty's stock,
ing that year and Aunt Hetty had re-
ceived the precious one, and in the
pain of her sprained ankle had tucked
it away and forgotten it until that very
day.
She lifted her eyes and met the burn.

watching her. He had been waiting
two years for his answer. Her fingers
pulled out the drawstring that fasten-

stale candies.

red seal and her name in a handwrit-

"Why nOt?" laughed Robin cheerilv,
Aunt Hetty flashed her a queer
glance. 81 thought perhaps you were
going with Ed Willis"
Robin flushed warmly. I'm going
with you or not at ALL" she said firmly.
Aunt Hetty was silent for O long
while. then she asked: You are going
to help Mr.. Drake trim the tree tomor-
row afternoon? Most of the other girls
are going"
Perhaps SO. There will be so many
they won't miss me-" said Robin. and
Aunt Hetty was quick to note the
tinge of bitterness in her tone.
''Mr Drake always said you was his
star helper" said the old woman quiet

The Sunday school room was ablaze
with lights and a-glitter with refiec-

Every seat in the room was filed when
Aunt Hetty Treat limped up the aisle

Somebody gave up places in the front

might have seats. ard then the organ

Robin brought the knitting basket
OVERLOOKING with bright colored silks
and the half completed muffler for the
young clergyman. Her blue eyes were
very bright.
Two years ago-it had heen Christ

Drake had whispered to Robin that
there WAS gift for her on the tree
and something in his look and the
tone of BIS voice led Robin TO believe
that in the shyIy proffered gift lay the
expression of his love for her.
But the evening had passed unevent.
