There was vast chattering and jol.
lily as after breakfast next morning
there was an adjournment to the sit
ting room. The master Of cere-
monies, Bascom's eyes twinkled as
one after another the stockings were
apportioncd, for he was a practical
joker. Willis noted that his stocking
was bullying and heavy. He peer
ed within it. then showed a lump of
coal and raw potato.
Somehow his heart was chilled.
Trivial as was the incident, it came
like direct blow in the face. Was
the erratic donation a slurring re-
minder of his poverty? All at once
the barrenness Of his lonely life over
came him in full force. He went up
to his room gloomiy.
A servant Knocked at the door and
handed him letter. Mechanically he
opened it and then sprang to his feet,
white to the lips and quivering all
over. He stood like one in a maze.
There was second timd summons
