was dead, and since Alice ran away

tured their Christmas evening meal;
imagined what joy the smallest thing
on his table would give them

"You'se got the heart of the Christ
mas Child all right, mister,' and he
laughed aloud.

He took up a cigar and a magazine,
but he could not read. From across
the shadows of the library his daugh-
ter's eyes sought his, staring from
out the canvas. She was the only one
he had left, and she was cast rigorous
ly aside. The face of the Great Man
worked suddenly in pain, and his head
fell forward on his arms.
And then-soft arms were about his
neck, and lips pressed to his cheek.

She broke off. The sound of music
came family into the room. With
arms about him, she drew him to the
window and flung up the sash.
''The Little Orphans Christmas Car

filled with melody.
Tears streamed down the Great
Mans cheeks; he drew her head to his
shoulder.
"Alice," he whispered brokenly,
!"you must come and make me a bet

And suddenly about them lowered
the spirit of that great heart of the
Christmas Child.
