Ray Clarke paced up and down the
floor and wondered how he could have
been so happy-so free from nervous
ness for so long time.
He hated the great beauty of the
outside world. When he heard people
wishing each other merry Christmas"
he almost hated their smiles and their
cheerful voices.
How deeply he loved Lillian. She
was worth all the Christmas presents
In the worldl OF course. There were
no two ways about that.
And the do<r0r had said with such
genial, merry twinkle IN his eyes:
"Well. I fame, the young son and
heir will be Christmas present from
the missus to you!"
He had laughed at the time, and
Lillian had blushed and smiled and
laughed, too. The doctor was such
friendly old soul-he had been the
doct0 when Lillian had been born.
And he was fine, too
But perhaps he counted too much On
Lillian's >:rength. Ray had been sent
out of the room and he had been alone
here now for so long.
A. hrst he had been 50 full of high
spirits. But the delay had been 80
strange. They hadn't told him there
would be any such delay. They had
simply sent him out of the room and
had said that everything was all right,
and that they'd come and tell him
soon to be back to see his child.
He would 60 upstairs. He couldn't
stand this another moment. And it
was so quiet. He had fancied it
would not be quiet. Then he heard q
strange shriil voice.
How curiOusly it sounded. Was
that Lillian. She must be very ill to
have voice sound so curiously. He
never heard it like that.
/ They couldn't keep him from her.
She would want him, too. OF course
she would!
He hurriedly ran up the stairs. The
doctor was at the top Of the stairs.

Now and again the wind blew loud

seemed to be quivering with happi-

In honor Of the day as possible.
The hills were covered with snow.
The branches of the trees were laden

were frosted with exquisite designs
The shrubs, too, were covered with
