Ma leaned back against the closed
door and her lame old heart sang
bravely as she addressed her hus-
bands portrait. We'll, Kit" She
said, you've gone and got yourself
a namesake. even if I did have to
practically fish it out of snow
drift.
She sat down at the scratched
desk. They're nice kids" she con-
fided, land they've had rough deal.
Funny, isn't it? Here's house and
farm and none of our own want it,
and yet it would be a blessing to
those poor waits out there. Doesn't
seem right, does it?" The picture
eyed her calmly.
TT doesn't. does it?" Ma was star
tied at her own passionate intensity.
Would it matter much to you, Kit,
to have strangers living here? I
mean, If they we're nice strangers?
land If they had little boy named
after you?
Maybe Next CHRISTMAS.
Kenneth doesn't need the old
place, Kit" she pleaded. He'd only
sell it. You'd hate that. So would I.
And Lydia wouldn't live here on
bet. She loathes Mountain Creek.
And Robert, he'd let it go to ruin.
And Sally-Sallyll make a success
in Hollywood and she'll be ashamed
of the place where she was born.
I couldn't bear to have any of them
ashamed of the house we we're so
happy in. We were happy here,
weren't we. Kit?" She look lovingly
about the shabby room.
These youngsters haven't got
anything, Kit. except baby and a
lot of gumption. What do you
think?"
Outside the door she heard MUIR
mur of voices.
Look, Kit she said hastily, 1--WE
got some money in the bank. Our
kids can have that But the house
and the land"
She picked up the pen on the desk,
dipped it into the old inkwell, began
to write. Don't be mad at me when
you see me, Kit" she pleaded I'm
only trying to do what's right"
What was it she heard about last
wills and testaments? They must
be witnessed by disinterested par
ties? Well, wasn't Danny coming up
that afternoon, to pay call on
Sally-Sally who wasn't coming
home for Christmas? Danny would
satisfy the most captious court of

CHAPTER XII.

Christmas morning burst white
and beautiful across the hills. Ma

at the gentle froth of snow clinging
to the pine trees, the soft feathery
snowbanks leaning gracefully against
the porch. 1t hardly seemed possible
that this tranquil landscape was the
icy inferno through which three
people had staggered a few. hours
ago.
Breakfast in the parlor was a
merry meal. broken only by the oc-
casional whimpering of the new
baby. AS the last crumb disap-
peared, the girl said diffidently, "Joe
and I've been talking and We"
Her husband came to her assist

when, her invalid heart Knocked.
Mary's eyes filled with tears
you're kind" she murmured. At
a loss for words, Ma merely snorted
vehemently.
The girl went on, 1--WE can't ever

doing what they ought to do" Ma
retorted.

Its an awful easy house to laugh
in," Mary replied.
So there was company for Christ
