By Christopher c. Hazard

THE servants had retired and left

fore the decorated and lighted tree
that was burdened with gifts that
seemed to have no destinations. For
Mrs. Stone was long past the wanting
OF gifts and no companions, young or
old, sat with her. because she wished
to be alone with her memories.
She was not as alone as she seemed
to be, for, In the great chair opposite
to hers memory placed the fairy figure
Of the child who had glanced and
danced about the house and under the
Christmas tree Of long ago Beside
her there sat one who seemed 10 lay
his hand again upon hers in happy
and satisfied affection, while there
bent over her the strong and tender
youth who was once her hope for later
years. Again the old house seemed
full OF joy. and noisy merriment drove
out the deathly stiffness. while the
tree that is always green spoke OF the
immortality Of happiness.
The next day. when the servants
dismantled the evergreen tree. It was
found that every gift was marked
with name, and they were busy that
Christmas morning in distributing new
happiness about the neighborhood.

Easily Managed

VOU must believe In Santa Claus
i II in neglect you would not pause
And see the holidays drift by
And bring you nothing but a sigh.
He may not greet you II you wait
In idleness and selfish state
For him upon his way 10 start
To grant the wishes of your heart
For he his ways makes known 10 mer
By means that are beyond our ken,
And as his journeying vast Is made
He uses many a masquerade.
So IL a scarcity you fear
In the supply of Christmas cheer,
Just hustle like willing elf,
And be old Santa Claus yourself.

"Just the thing" repeated the
watery-eyed man, drawing a small bag
Of gold dust from his pocket: it'll

AS he was going out, the owner of
the cranberries stepped to his side.
Here, take this along with you," he
said, relinquishing the can to which
he had been clinging so fondly. It'll
help to make out Christmas for the

"And this, too" "And this" added
the owner of the sardines and the
owner of the baked beans; and then
Sheriff Dobson pushed before them
and slipped something bright and
heavy into the hand which held the
jumping Jack.
''It's a nest-egg for the kid" he said
gravely. "Now YOU better go home an
