wall paper on the walls of the two
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 1t out
of strips Of wood, and on sthe wood
he had glued tiny pine cones, pieces of
birch bark and dried moss, and as the
picture was a woodland scene you can
imagine how pretty it was. Bob had
found 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
narrow red ribbon to make lOOps-and,
behold, there was a necktie holder for
Elmer! For his mother he whitfield
reel for her clothes lines, and it was
a wonderfully handy thing, and for his
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 a 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 I sent you" said the tobacco man.
Maybe he will let you have puppy
and work it out for him on Saturdays.
He has a paper route"
"I'll do it If he Wilt" cried Bob
eagerly. Half an hour later he hurried
into the woodshed with wriggling
little puppy under his coat. OF course
he had to tell his mother about that.
And how Bob did enjoy the secret, run
ming to and fro with milk and scraps
of meat for the puppy!
When Christmas morning dawned
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 at
the tree for his own presents.
sLook, Bobby; look! !" screamed little
Peter.
Bob looked and turned pale with sur
prise. The grandest new sled, painted
a bright red, runners and all. His ia
Their and Elmer had made 1t together.
And there was red wooden muffier
that Amy had knitted for him and 9TH
er things that Santa Claus brought
him.

used to help the wounded soldiers.
And she had not sold one single, soil
tary stamp Of her twenty-five!
How she had trudged around from
door to door, only to meet the same
kind smile and shake of the head Amy
told her mother, and when Mrs. Wells
offered to buy all the stamps herself the
little girl shook her head.
II ought to be able to sell them out
side my home, mother, DEAR" she said.
''That would be real work"
Mrs. Wells sighed and smiled. She
couldn't very well afford to buy even
the twenty-five stamps that Amy want
ed to sell, for every penny was needed
in that little household. Mr.. Wells had
died year or two before, and Amy's
mother had to sew for living. She
was very busy, for she was trying to
finish some work so as to receive the
money in time to buy something for
Christmas.
kiss me, little daughter" Mrs. Wells
said, with smile, "and then carry this
dress up to Miss Granger on the hill"
The Changers lived in big house at
the top Of the hill. 1t was quite the
largest house in Little River, and the
three ladies lived there alone with
two servants. They were Miss Belle
Granger, Miss Lucy and Miss Beth.
They were not very young, but they
were very kind and sweet.
The maid admitted Amy to the front
hall, all warm and glowing from a
great fire ON the hearth.
''How do you do, Amy? Wouldn't
you like one of these little mince

mittens and warm shoes and stock

Nan was dreaming of doll house.
little Peter wanted a puppy all las own,
and he didn't dare think of his big SIS
ter Amy and big brother Elmer and
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 were full of dried pine
cones, large and small, and some pieces
of birch bark.
The day before Christmas Bob I'M
locked the woodshed door and looked
at the result of his labors.
There was doll house for little Nan

Granger with plate of mince tarts.
"Oh, thank you'll" gasped Amy as she
took one.
"Wait moment and Annie will
wrap it in a paper napkin so you can
carry it home" said Miss Beth as she
pressed button for the maid. But
when Annie came with the paper nap
kin, which was all gay with holly and
Christmas bells, Miss Ruth put all the
mince tarts in it and gave it to Amy.
"Oh, thank you so much I" repeated
Amy, thinking how her mother would
enjoy the tarts. Mother sent the

She had just disappeared when Miss
Lucy Granger came bustling through
the hall. II wonder If you would mail
these little packages for me, Amy?"
she said. II am so provoked because
I have used up my Christmas SEALS"
"Of course will mail the packages,
Miss Lucy" said Amy; then she added
shyly, Ell have some Christmas seals
If you would like them"
"You have2 How very fortunate"
Amy told her about the seals and
how she had been unable to sell even
one Of them. To her great joy Miss
Lucy bought the whole twenty-five and
put the money in Amy's pocketbook,
together with bright silver quarter
for herself. IT hope you will have a
very happy Christmas, DEAR" Miss
Lucy said.
The next day Amy took the Red
Cross money to her teacher, and Miss
Smith told her she had done very well.
Early Christmas morning the Gran
ger auto car stopped before the Wells
door, and the chauffeur brought in a
great basket for Mrs. Wells. There
was a newsdress for Amy. with a warm
cloak for her mother, besides cunning
doll. The bottom of the basket was
filed with good things to eat.
"My Christmas week began with
tears" laughed Amy as bright drops
fell on her round cheeks, "and it is
ending In tears too"
"Tears of happiness, darling" said
her mother.

TT WAS Christmas eve In Durgan's
department store, and to the hap
by children who accompanied their
parents to see the glittering lights and
the gorgeous Christmas toys the big
store was palace Of splendor. But
it was not one to poor little Edna
Gray, the tired little cashgirl.
This Christmas eve Edna was very
sad. She had planned to give her
mother a nice Christmas present, and
to crown 1t all she was going to hide
the present in one Of pair Of new
stockings to hang on the chair beside
her widowed and sick mothers bed.
A well dressed man and women
smiled as the little girl took pack
age of gloves to the bundle counter.
"She looks like Beatrice" whispered
the woman softly, and the man nod

He patted my head"
''He must be lonesome without any
folks" began Bobby. Then he leaned
over and whispered to his companions.
Fifteen minutes later three little boys,
the oldest ten and the youngest six, let
themselves through basement door
and hurried across the snowy yard to
the opening in the hedge which led
through patch of woods to the village.
Mr.. BARLEY, the trustee, who often
visited the home, lived in a big house
with a wonderful garden. Everything
was blanketed in snow now, and the big
house was dark save for few lighted
windows on the lower floor.

and snow out.
1t was very lonesome in the hollow
tree. Somewhere an owl was hooting,
and again he heard some four-footed
animal (perhaps fox) go pat-patting
over the snow. He was not exactly
frightened, but it surely was very lone
some.
Sometimes he slept and dreamed of
his nice warm home, and he thought
