A Happy Reunion
Two little orphans, a girl n a
boy, were one day standing In front
of a store filed with everything they
could desire for Christmas. Ethel
said to. Bethel, II wish we had a rich
father who could love us and give us
what we want" $50 do l." said
Bethel.
Standing near them was a man
who remembered two twins like
Ethel and Bethel who had disappear
ed a few years ago.. Mr.. Smith look
cd at the two children longingly, then
he spoke.
Where do you Iive?" he asked.
Nowhere" answered Ethe and
Bethel. I'VE have no father and no
mother; we were at an orphan home
but decided to run away this morn
ing"
"How would you like to come
home with me2" asked Mr.. Smith.
Both children agreed readily. Soon
they were on their way. Mr.. Smith
took them to u tenement house he
owned. IF you children will be good
and perform the tasks 1 set for you
you will have a great reward"
Two weeks later Mr.. Smith came
TO see o they were getting along.
AS the reports were good he told
them to follow him. Outside by the
curb a lovely automobile was waiting
for them. The children stepped into
the automobile in such a refined way
that they surprised Mr.. Smith, for
he believed them to be only poor
children who went to the home be-
cause of poverty.
When the automobile started Ethel
told Mr.. Smith the following story:
When we were small we were very
rich and had everything we could de-
sire. Then one day father disappear
ed and mother grieved so much that
she died. After mothers death some
men stole our fortune from us and
we were put into the orphan home.
why" exclaimed Mr.. Smith, you
must be my too little grandchildren
whom / believed dead a few years
ago. Your father Is alive and we'll.
We will n him and have a grand
reunion" Mr.. Smith Jr. was found
and Ethel and Bethel didn't have to
want for anything any more.
BY PRINCESS PATTI"

only wish we could put all the little
orphans into such lovely homes, don't
