The Daily Short Story,

without money is
Anna Brett." Mrs. Wesson's
voice was tense. Ann, we are 60
ing to thresh things out. You have
harped upon it all week. You,' a
girl of 20, with the promise of a
great future: you, with your glori-
GUS voice, harping about money.
I'm ashamed,
We'll, so am I, Mother Wesson. !"
Annals voice was repentant, 'and
Il shouldn't trouble you. but
But, like the rest OF us, you
think too much about the money
that you haven't got" Mrs. Wesson
took seat beside the troubled girl
and, her motherly arm slipped
around the slim young shoulders.
Listen. Anna! Ever since you
were a tiny girl you have, I'm sure,
heard the old story of the. three
wise men bringing theirs gifts to
the child gifts of gold1 franklin
cense and myrrh Is it not signifi-
cant, dear, that only one of the
three brought gold? The other
two"
Il know. Mother Wesson," the re-
bellious brown eyes flashed a chal-
lenge into the kindly blue ones, Il
know but we don't have franklin
| cense and myrrh these days. and if
| We had-if We had-we would have
to have gold with which to buy
| them"
"No, Anna" the patient voice re-
proved, moi Like love, these high
and holy things are not market
able.
"Myrrh, the ointment of pain
the visible sign of mans sympa-
thy. If We have no gu3d.. we still
have this-this precious, priceless
gift of human sympathy. And then
there is frankincense. Amy gift of
beauty is a gift Of frankincense-
anything that enables the heart
and soul of man to aspire. A great
hymn, like that splendid Christmas,
hymn that you are going to sing in
church tomorrow morning--that is
frankincense, 1t rises like a spiral
OF incense and it lifts US out of
our pettiness."
The girl was silent, as if the
thoughts of the older woman had
made their way to her. she said:
When we go with the doughnuts.
Mother Wesson, would like to sing
for those men-if you think they
woiIid like it."
Like it? Everybody loves to
hear you sing. And we'll go now.
Anna, while the cars are still run

And ont into the driving storm
the two women went, taking with
them their gifts of myrrh and
frankincense to the house of the

ONE CHRISTMAS EVE.
BY Margaret Ade Sweeney.

1t was the day before Christmas
A white Christmas, with deer
drifts under foot and swirlirs
sheets of snow wind whipped
through the canyon-like streets anC
into the faces Of bundle-Iaden mer
and women scurrying homeward.
High up, behind a window in one
of the huge apartment houses that
border the city, stood Mrs. Matilda
Wesson. slim and gray. looking out
upon the storm. Her, kindly, mid
dle-aged face was aglow with the
Christmas spirit. But, presently, as
she looked out from the warmth
and shelter Of her home, there
erept into her eyes shadow that
sent the glow sfrom her face and
left it bEooding.
1.-The storm is glorious-to look
at" she told herself, but it is
hard--pitiless for the homeless -
The woman's thoughts were circ-
ling about an old house-a grimy
old house where homeless men,
through the kindness of someone,
were allowed to congregate upon
pine benches in fireless base
ment rocrm Ne e
Through. the driving snow Mrs
Wesson again saw that cherries
room, where one naked and flick
ering gas flame cast wierd shad-
ows upon famished faces.
Early in December she, had learn
ed through her newspaper about
this house for the homeless. A
pitiful case of hungry man had
troubled her, and her own simple
meals had become unpalatable. She
had found by a careful counting of
her pennies that she could spare
one dollar a week from her small
income: and she could. she had
reckoned, make just six dozen
doughnuts for that dollar. So,
thereafter, a little woman with a
large bundle trudged to the house
of the homeless every Saturday
might.
"Just call me the 'Dougbnut
Lady she had told the serious
looking young man who seemed to
have charge of the house, and who
thanked her profusely. And SO, to
the house Of the homeless she was
the "Doughnut Lady"
And now. looking out at the driv-
ing snow, the little lady was trou-
'bled. Upon her. kitchen table, all
ready to be delivered, were two
packages of doughnuts, six dozen
in each, and she wondered how she
could get them to the house of the
homeless in time for Christmas.
Miss Brett, one of her girls
had offered to help her with the
packages. Her "girls"-she had
three of them-were students at the
School OF Music. Two of them had
gone to their homes for the holi-
days, but Miss Brett was obliged
to stay in the city. Mrs. Wesson.
childless widow, boarded and
mothered these girls, and their
money. helped; but, above all. she
loved their music. and she never
tired Of Miss Bretf's sweet soprano
voice. A great career, she was
sure, awaited this slim, courageous,
brown-eyed girl who was working
her way through the School Of
Music.
Mrs. Wesson was still musing by
the window when Miss Brett came
