Christmas
Invitation
By Katherine Edeln,an

JACK TRESLAR hunched his
- broad shoulders deeper into the
big chair, turning a new page of his
book. He was reading a Christmas
story. trying hard to become abb
sorbed in the tale.
A sharp ring from the telephone
brought him to his feet. Who could
be calling him on Christmas eve?
A strange voice responded to his
"hello." Il hate to bother you on
Christmas eve, Mr.. Treslar. But
I'm ringing up TO ask If it would be
possible for you to come and spend
Christmas with me. My name is
Bevan Willers. I live out at Rich
mond. I have a big home, and"
'But-but I don't even know you,
Mr.. Willers. There must be some
mistake"
Il want you'll" the low voice was
emphatic. Twill you come or not?"
Jack repressed a quick exclama-
ton. IL had thought of spending
Christmas" he began.
Wouldn't it be possible to change
your plans? / have feeling they
could be side-tracked easily"
Jack thought of the lonely Christ
mas he had been anticipating. Aft

6 WISH we could do something
exciting - something different
at Christmas" Peggy looked out at
the winter landscape as she spoke.
For instance?'' Vivian Clark
glanced up from the magazine.
Something like making someone
terribly, tremendously happy" Peg
gy came closer to her sister as she
answered, and Vivian saw that she
was very much in earnest.
"Tve been thinking" Peggy went
on. "how wonderful II would be to
bring something thrilling - some
thing unforgettable-into someone's
life. I don't mean like helping with
the baskets and the entertainments
at the church; we've always done
that; but a sort Of special some
thing, for one particular person.
For minute youthful voices sur
rendered to silence. The gay little
clock on the dresser made audible
sound. Suddenly Peggy jumped to
her feet. I've thought of some
thing!" she cried breathlessly.
something really different! You
know Sara Werby-she's been an in
valid for 10 years-shut in from the
world except for few friends who
run in every now and then"
But what can we do for her? We
do visit her occasionally, and have
always taken her little Christmas
gift. You know she's much too proud
to accept charity"
Who's talking of charity? What
have in mind is something that will
just thrill her. I'm going to write
to Mona Muir-you know, she runs
that department on the Star-and
I'm going to tell her how wonderful
Sara has been, and ask a card show
er for her."
Vivian whistled through her teeth.
well. that is a grand idea, Peggy.
know she'll be thrilled" ~
She's bound to be! Think of the
postman stopping with loads and
loads of mail every day." Peggy's
blue eyes were dancing,
But suppose people don't write?
You know how busy everyone is at
Christmas. Vivian's face reflected
the doubt in her words.
but they will WRITE" Peggy's
voice was emphatic. "I'm going to
hold the thought that Sara Werby
will be just swamped with mail"
TOGETHER they penned the let
L ter to Mona Muir on the big city
paper. Later, between snatches Of
shopping, they discussed the posi-.
bic number Of cards and letters
that would be delivered at the lit
tie cottage on Bank street. They
both seemed to be more concerned

the massive door.
er all, there might be something to
this unusual invitation.
"You are right about my plans"
he admitted. 'They are rather in
the air. But-but going to spend
Christmas with an utter stranger
took me back for a moment"
That's why / thought you might
come" There was note of disap-
pointment in Bevan Willers' voice.
II probably got the wrong man,
however"
Jack thought again of the lonely
Christmas before him. And before
he could debate the question, he
heard voice inside of him answer
ing, calling through the wire to Rich
mond. "You got the right man, Mr..
Willers. I'm coming"
An hour later. bathed and dressed,
Jack Treslar was speeding along the
frosted highway to Richmond. Fol-
lowing the detailed Instructions that
had been given him. Jack found the
long winding drive leading from the
roadway. What a secluded, ghostly
place, he thought. as he drove un-
der the snow-sprinkled trees.
REVAN WILLERS was waiting. In
- the dim light from the chande-
lier. his tall bent figure seemed gro
tesque. Il have let the servants
away for the evening"" he said, his
bony hand motioning toward the end
of the Swallowed hall.
Jack Treslar felt twinge of fear
as he followed. Here he was-alone
in the house with this strange old
man. Anything could happen. There
wasn't another residence within
blocks. Then, his adventurous spir-
it reasserted itself, and he looked
smilingiy across. the table at Bevan
Willers. We'll, what's it all about"
A dead silence was the only an
swer. Gray eyes under heavy bris-
ting brows stared at him intently.
Jack stared back unflinchingly.
Then a hearty laugh rang through
the library. With amazement Jack
saw the old man straighten up in
his chair. Years seemed to fall off
his shoulders. The twisted, gro-
tesque appearance vanished as if by
magic. He spoke quietly.
"I'm not crazy" he began; "I'm
just lonely old fellow. ticketed as
sort of recluse. The true facts
are that I've been trying for years
to write. Yesterday l got word that
a story of mine had been accepted"
"But I still don't understand your
strange invitation, and" Jack in
terrupted. .
q "Pm coming to that" Bevan Will
lers continued. 1.-THE hero of my
book is a daring, adventurous fell

strange call that came in the night.
! got intrigued with the fellow, and
began thinking. Wondering if there
was any young fellow who would
act as he had done. So I rang the
first hotel that came to mind and
described my hero. Young, unmar-
.ried, interesting sort of chap. Pre-
tended his name had slipped my
mind for the moment. They con-
nected me with your room. You
know the rest"
Jack stretched out his long arm
across the desk, and gripped the old
mans hand. s'Now that I'm here.
Mr.. Willers, do you still believe YOU
have got the right man." There was
wisdui entreaty in his dark eyes.
I don't Just think-I'm absolute

ITS funny how doing something

ian said one day: 81 wasn't nearly

gy; now believe I'm even more

But their real happiness came on
Christmas eve when they stood by
Sara Werby's bed and saw the radi.
ance upon her face. Stacks Of let.
tiers, cards. and packages were piled
everywhere, with postmarks from
almost every state in the Union.
ITS the most thrilling thing that
ever happened in my life." Sara
told them. Il never knew there
were so many wonderful people in

brown eyes sparkled like a girls.

we're just about as excited as you
are"
You're pretty happy then" Sara

WHY Horse is Called 'DObbin'

"Dobbin' is a general or familiar
name for any horse, especially an
ordinary draft or farm horse. The
name "Dobbin" was SO widely used
in England as pet name for horses
that it became a general nickname
for the entire equine species. 1t was
a familiar name for a horse in the
time of Shakespeare. In the "Mer-
chant of Venice" which was first
printed in 1896, Old Gobbo says to
Launcelot: Thou hast got more
hare on thy chin, than Dobbin my
philhorse has on his tale. !" dob
bin" is a diminutive of the proper
name Dob" which is variation
of Robin" and Rob-" which in
turn are variations of Robert.

TRUTH about ADVERTISING
By CHARLES B. ROTH
FINE GOLD

takes place. Its employees, clear
down to the delivery boy, become
seized with the inspiration tho adj
vertising has set up.
The reason for this influence OF
advertising is not hard to find. The
advertiser is leader, and every
leader has an obligation.
You as a customer benefit greatly
by this indirect value of advertis-
ing. You benefit in additional cour-
tesy, additional consideration and in
the additional value you receive for
your money, because advertising has
always been the one means by
which prices have been brought
down.
: The merchant who advertises sets
himself up as price and quality
standard for the community You
buy from him and receive the most
for your money. And you also
receive the most in human values
in what a wise man once called
the fine gold of business.
The time when business is the
pleasantesa is when fine sense OF
mutual confidence exists between
buyer and seller. In helping bring
this feeling about, newspaper adver-
Using contributes something to BUSH
ness which Is OF as much value as
its practical services.
1t contributes mutually of feel
ing that gives business a character
and a trust that nothing can replace.
Fine gold, you know.
