 I've been worried about him lately" she went on, "ffe takes it harder oil the time, not hearing from Frances, He wants to take time off to 90 to New York to find her. But tell him when she wants Us, she'll write" She sighed. We haven't heard for five months that's the longest time yet"
 "They never realize til they have children of their own," Mrs. Carter comforted her. "Think of her as having c nice life, making her own way. Be grateful she can --theso hard days. One of these days she'll remember you - oil Of sudden, and regret her neglect, But you won't mind, when you see her again."

 When Mrs. Brown had left, Mrs. Carter slowly went upstairs. She stopped to peep into the children's bedroom. The BnoWstorm had ended and q bright round moon Bhone in the bedroom window, lighting the sleeping figure of little Betty. Mrs, Carter ga2ed at her youngest fond- ly for c moment, then quietly shut the door,
 Betty stirred in her sleep, and awakened. She sat Up in bed, full Of excitement, alert. Outside an alley cat knocked against gar- bage can, The cover clattefea noisily to the ground.
 Betty thrilled With excitement. A verse ran rapidly through her mind:

 She rose from her bed, ran to the inoonlt window and threw open the blind which hid the front walk from her view. Unmindful Of the cold, she stood before the window ln her nightgown, tranS- fixed look on her face.
 At that moment, Santa Claus Brown, loo weary almost to walk, came into view. He was far lip the street, clearly visible against the snow, walking from the Don- aldBonB to Mrs, Deakln's bonfd- ing house, He still wore his Santa Claus suit, The momentary sight of Santa Claus seemed reni to. Betty, She gasped, rushed back to bed, and husged the covers tight around her neck,
 He's real" she told herself eX- eltedly, "t heard the sound, l saw him"
 She started Co call her brothers, hesitatod, decided against it. She alone would know the secret.
 Again the words Of the poem dfummed in her ears. A noise on the roof startled her.
 There was patLerlng sound on the roof. Betty listened, bliBsfully unaware that the indignant new cook at Deakn's boarding house had emptied wastebasket out os her window, go that It's eontents rattled onto the Garter roof,
 At last Betty fell asleep, . happy look on her face, dreaming that Santa and his reindeer actually flew to the roof and that Santa was at that moment sliding down the chimney, dusting himself off and distributing his toys.
 Except for the sound Of an automobile drawing up to the curb right outside the Garter home, everything on Park Aye- nue was again "aS still as q mouse"
