his mamma had told him there would
be no gifts this year and he did not
expect any except what Santa Claus
would bring. Bobby asked his moth
er IL what she brought in was intend
ed for Christmas, but she gave him
no satisfaction, though she took him
In her arms and gave him bear hug
and dozen kisses. She seemed as
happy as if she expected Santa Claus
to bring everything she wanted for
Christmas.
The day before Christmas mes
senger boy came with telegram for
Mrs. Sawyer. She tore off the envel-
ope and read it, and looked very hap
py, giving the messenger a half dol
lar. Bobby asked what the telegram
was about. She told him it was about
a Christmas gift she and all the rest
Of the family were to receive, and
when Bobby kept asking again and
again "What is it mamma?" she gave
him another bear hug and smothered
him with kisses.
Bobby had a sister, Edith, twelve
years old, and a brother Jim, ten. Both
| of them were too old to sympathiZe
with Bobby in his faith in Santa Claus
bringing him the gift he had promised
him in his letter. Indeed they didn't
believe Santa Claus really wrote let
tiers to children. Bobby tried his best
| to get out of Edith or Jim what made
their mother so happy, but they would
lot tell. Indeed they seemed almost
as happy as she. Having failed with
them Bobby tried Peter the postman.
Peter said he suspected Santa Claus
had something to do with the family
happiness, but he was not sure. So
poor Bobby was obliged to swallow his
curiosity and wait for Christmas morn
ing.
Bobby went to bed ON Christmas eve
determined to resist the sandman and
keep his eyes open all night, so that
| he might get a glimpse of Santa Claus
| and see what his remarkable gift was.
But the sandman soon began to drop
sand in Bobby's lids, and he was asleep
in ten minutes after his head struck
the pillow.
| When Bobby awoke the sun was
quite high in the heavens. He heard
the word "Bobby!" shouted in his ears
and at the same time felt himself gent
ly shaken. He did not awaken by de-
| grees, but all at once. And there
standing before him and looking down
upon him, smiling, was his papa.
"Why, papaw he exclaimed, IL
thought you were never going to come
home any more"
"Santa Claus told me that he was
to bring me home to my little boy for
a Christmas gift"
Bobby threw his arms around his ia
theirs neck and Rugged and Rugged

came in and so great was the excite
ment that Bobby forgot to look for
what was in his stocking.
That was certainly the happiest
Christmas the Sawyer family ever
spent or ever would spend. Bobby
was too young to have it all explained
to him, but when he is older his mother
intends to tell him that his father was
on vessel that was torpedoed and
sunk. Mr.. Sawyer was reported miss
ing, but he was picked up out of the
water by an American cruiser and in
time managed to get home. After word
came that he was saved the letter was
written to Bobby by his sister as from
Santa Claus, and afterwards a tele-
gram came saying that his father
would be home ON Christmas morning.
