over and whispered to his companions.
Fifteen minutes later three little boys,
the oldest ten and the youngest six, let
themselves through basement door

through patch of woods to the village.

rooms, bits of carpet on the floors and
some cardboard furniture that Bob had
made. He had even tackled little scraps
of lace at the windows for curtains.
For Amy there was the lovely pic
ture from the Sunday newspaper which
she had admired. Bob had remember
ed and had made frame for it out
of strips of wood, and on the wood
he had glued tiny pine cones, pieces of
birch bark and dried moss, and as the
picture was woodland scene you can
imagine how pretty ii was. Bob had
found n chair rung, which he scraped
and polished with some oil and turpen-
tine. He put some screweyes in the
ends, and Amy gave him piece of

father he bought pipe. 1t happened
this way: He did some errands for the
man who kept the tobacco store in the
village. and when the man would have
paid him some money Bob said he'd
rather have n pipe. So now they were
all provided for except little Peter.
How was Bob going to get hold of a
real live puppy?
"You go over to my brothers place
at the foot of Long hill, and you tell
him l sent you," said the tobacco man.
Maybe he will let you have puppy
and work 1t out for him on Saturdays.
He has paper route"
"l'll do it II he Wilt" cried Bob
eagerly. Half an hour later he hurried
into the woodshed with u wriggling
little puppy under his coat. OF course
he had to tell his mother about that.
And how Bob did enjoy the secret. rum

When Christmas morning dawned I
think Bob Stillwell was the most sur
prised boy in Little River. He was so
interested in watching the pleasure OF
his brothers and sister with the gifts
he had made with his own hands that
he stood smiling forgetting to look ut
the tree for his own presents.

Peter.
Bob looked and turned pale with sur

little Peter wanted puppy all his own,
and he didn't dare think of his big sis

his father and mother.
"Why not make 'em something's" was
the thought that came TO him.
Bob jumped up and went home whis-
Ting through the woods. Under the
pine trees he stopped and brushed
away the snow. When he got through
his pockets We're full of dried pine
cones, large and small, and some pieces
of birch bark.
The day before Christmas Bob un-

The bag was brought. Uncle Dan,

Uncle Dan. II can tell you. though,

hard as nails. l heard Banker Haskett
