The freight shadows that played on
the wall were like the thoughts that
went to and fro In his mind in the
Hight Of the memories Of the brighter
days Of the past. The empty chairs
reminded him Of his frlendlessness the

tried to be companion, only made
him feel how lonely he was. He felt
as much out Of the world, as far away

grandfather that hung over the shelf.
Mr.. Glmlet was wondering what he
would get for Christmas. He had
spent many years In wondering what
he would get, and had gotten good
Meny things. No one had a better
house than he, few had as much money
as he had. There was a park, there
was a garden; within and without and
all about him were the things that
money can buy. Yes, Mr.. Gimlet was as
rlch rs money and things can make
man. And yet, although all these
things had not made him happy, he
was wishing TO-. more. He did not
know any better than to wish for more,
and. though he could not think Of any
thing that he needed, he hoped that
someone would think Of something o.
other that he might want and that
might give him CLEAN Of real Christ
