dark about it as any of them, for
Marjorie had decided not to tell
anyone her secret.
But they had to wait some
time, before the legal document
finally came to light, and then
there was note within that had
to be read. The astounded faith

note, and read them both slowly,
as it dawned upon him little by

didn't quite understand. So he

aloud:
Dear Father,
This isn't exactly Christmas

entirely free from any obligation.
Hoping it may bring joy and
comfort for many Christmases to
to come.

a short weeks time.
The doctor was there when she
reached the house. He was stand
ing in the living room talking TO
Betty, telling her about a certain
Christmas in his childhood when
he had been alone among strang-
ers. desolate and forlorn.
Betty stood in the doorway us
tening alphabetically to the Sto-
ry, and Marjorie thought she sa"
a wistful look in the young doc
tors eyes. She wondered II ne
had a home and family now TO
make Christmas merry for HIM,
or was he lonely yet? If he was
how nice it would be if they were
only in Brentwood and could IN
vite him to Christmas dinner
Nice to have Gideon Reaver too.
But, of course, they couldn't do
anything like that in this little
house.
Marjorie looked up and smiled
For me? How ridiculous How
in the world did anybody find
out where / was?
! So Marjorie, laughing, opened
the box and disclosed the won
derful orchids.
The card which lay on the top
fell to the floor and Bud picked
it up and read it aloud before
anybody noticed to stop him.

Somehow Marjorie felt the

meant she should, and the color
crept up into her fair cheeks. But
she laughed.

"They're orchids. aren't they"
said Ted, almost accusingly. Mar

why, I don't know about the
expensive part. Yes, I guess they
are considered rather rare. Wei

MASTER AND DOG
BURIED TOGETHER

YADKINVILLE-Mose Bryant
47-year old Yadkin county farm
er, loved his dog. Before he died
Sunday he requested that the dog
be chloroformed and that he be
buried in the same grave with
him.
The story began a year ago
when Bryant's wife died. At that
time the dog, a large German po-
lice, almost grieved itself to
death. Bryant sensed the sorrow
the dog would feel after Bryant's
death and made the strange re-
quest. Bryant died yesterday.
This morning the dog was put to
death, the body placed in a
child's casket. Then Bryant and
his dog were buried in the same
grave in Fall Creek Baptist
church cemetery.
