from the wind, and holding 1t close to
see the house number, the door was
opened. He had been expected. An
old negro man bowed him in. His face
was sad and wrinhled, and his hair
the coler of wood ashes. He wore
enormous carpet slippers and a check
cred shirt, open at the neck, showed
underwear of coarse red flannel.
"We-all been 'spectin' you, sah!'
he quavered. "Lil gran'chiP sick in
Chicago hospital. Ellenl Ellen" he
called, shrilly.
A slow, heavy movement in the room
beyond, and q stout "mammy" came
into view, breathing heavily as her
weight threw her slightly from side to
side, as she walked.
"De lettah Gomez" asked the old
woman, haltingly. She rubbed her eyes
and blinked for a full minute before
she could see the writing. Woman
like, she turned the pages and read
the last paragraph first.

"Praise de Lord, de chile am safe an

Although he could not write, the old
negro man proudly touched the pencil
as his name was written in the boys
receipt book. Quite warm, now, and
minus one Of his glad tldings, the
Heavenly Messenger departed into the
falling snow, which soon swallowed
him up, and then quickly covered over
his footprints, as If in fear he might
be followed, and some harm come to
him.
The next message Of glad tidings
was delivered to a stenographer tucked
away in a back room Of a rather
Misunderstanding rooming-house. 1t
was a letter from home. She knew 1t
would come at the last moment. Yes
she had been crying, and it wouldn't
have been like Christmas at all, had
It not been for the Christmas mes
senger.
"Tm so tired of the Office grind" she
confided, more to herself, than to the
boy. "Tve written Dear Sir a hun,
dred and fifty thousand times this
week, I'm sure"
Then she Strengthened his necktie,
patted him on the head, and the angel
trudged down stairs and out into the
night again.
Next came a letter for the head OF
q family in magnificent home
where the Heavenly Messenger passed

the person named in the address. That
worthy held the portieres aside and

Stepped forth in evening dress--a sert'
Gus man, with gray hair. He signed
for the letter, then looked at the
Christmas Messenger, inquirngly.
"Come in here son." he directed, and
led the boy into the library. The room
was a confusion of dazzling women
and holiday decorations. An ever
green tree that reached almost to the
ceiling was loaded with toys and
Christmas presents Of every color and
kind, while other parcels and pack
ages were heaped on the floor. at the
foot of the tree.
"a little GIRL" the man was saying
"our daughter, an only child; she
seems Notwithstanding makes
her happy. Now, just suppose you
were she; do you think she ill like
all this?" And all the womC stened
eagerly to hear what the boy would
say.
81 would, but maybe--well, there's
too much Of this"-pointing to the
gaudy toys. 81 remember my baby

The star Of the New York Opera
company dabbed at her face with a
rabbits foot. A fine Christmas, this,
she reflected bitterly; snow three feet
deep, Broadway hundreds Of miles
away and the show going to pieces
this very night. All, me!
She signed for her special delivery
letter while the Christmas Angel
stared curiously at the bare walls OF
the dressing-room.
The star gave the messenger quar-
ter and he pa ssed on his way.
"You will find him in room three
lorty-two," said the night clerk at the
Commercial hotel. And the Christmas

Careful in Little Things.-The ex-
traordinary success of the late E. ii.
Hartman in converting the Union
Pacific Railway from the rundown
and almost bankrupt concern into one
of the most prosperous roads in the
country was owing both to his broad
vision in large matters and to his
painstaking thoroughness in small
ones. In Mr.. George Remnants bio
graphy of Mr.. Hartman, there Is an
interesting story that illustrates per-
fectly the latter quality. 1t is told on
the authority of Mr.. julius Krutt-
schnitt, who accompanied Mr.. Harri-
man on an inspection tour Of the
Southern Pacific road after he had
bought the property.
One day, said Mr.. Kruttschnitt, l
was walking with Mr.. Hartman on
the road. He noticed track bolt and
asked me why so much of the bolt
should protrude beyond the nut. re-
piled, ut is the size that is generally
used"
He said, "Why should we use bolt
of such a length that part of it is
useless?"
1 replied, "Well, when you come
right down to it there is no reason"
We walked along, and he asked me
how many track bolts there were to
a mile of track, and told him. There

caused a bell to ring in the interior
Of an old-fashioned house. Light
shone from the frost-coated windows
Of the front room, though 1t was now
far past midnight. An old gentleman
came to the door and pulled the Angel
into the room abreast Of strong gust

"Make yourself right at home, my

as the Christmas Angel slowly made
his way down the walk, and out into
the night. "Giff my luff to your ma"
were the parting words the Angel
heard, as he turned the corner Of a
street and lost sight Of the little house
of the kindly German folk.
When the Special Delivery Angel
awakened Christmas morning - or
rather Christmas noon-his mother,
sitting at his bedside, and stroking his
hair, said to him in a regretful tone,
