? The
|],Beft-Over Doll
By Christopher G. Hazard
(?, 1022, Western Newspaper Union.)
^IX^HAT was tho left-over doll
vv thinking about as sim bung on
tho topmost twig of th? Christmas
tree all alone? Perhaps about all tho
other gifts that had been taken off
by loving bands and given to the hoys
?Uid giris. Maybe she was wondering
whether there would bo a Christmas
tree every winter, bearing such nice
fruit in such a strange season, if there
had not been such a grpat gift from
God as come on Jesus' birthday. Moro
than all, however, she must havo been
asking herself why ah? was left over,
why nobotly wanted her, why the
name that was pinned on ber dress
had not been called.
She was as good a doll as ever was
made. Her eyes would open and shut,
she always had a
smile upon her
face, her checks
wore rosy, she
did not have a
pug nose, and
ber dress was
beautiful. When
they put her on
tho tree sho
thought her name
would ( be tho
very first .one.
She could hardly
walt to hear lt,
nnd sho won
dered if they
would never get
through singing
carols. Now it wns all over and
she wasn't wanted ' at all, not by
anybody, not even by Snlly Wiggins,
who had no doll-not even one. She
wasn't wanted I Oh, lt was too had,
and her eyes tried to wink out two
tenrs.
So they put her In tho basket with
tho other unwanted things, and there
the mbdster found lier the next Sun
day. She was lying there fast asleep,
with a little carpet sweeper near ber,
and a box of candy close hy, and a
looking glass by her side. At her feet
there was a spruce cono that had
fallen off of tho tree, and the blt of
paper that had told who sho was
meant for, but her eyes were shut
she hod retired from tho world, no
one wonted lier.
There she was still when tho min
ister came into tho room the next
Sunday morrlng. But now her eyes
were wide open, only she wasn't look
ing at the presents in the basket. She
was awake, but turned away, and still
trying to squeeze out some tours bo
causo she was left over. And every
time tho minister took ber up she
would shut her eyes nnd go to sleep
ngniii, unless he held her up pretty
straight, nnd then she seemed to be
sad, and to bo dreaming about being
left over, even while she was awake."
She wasn't Awake even on chil
dren's doy until little baby Mower
came In to get ready to he baptized,
but as soon ns he held her up she
opened her ' eyes, nnd when she saw
what a pleasant little hoy he was shu
looked pleasant nnd hopeful ngnln.
Then he put her down, nnd she went
to sleep nnd slept until Christmas
came ngnln 1
. With a new Christmas there she was
upon a tree once more, nnd 'they
Virare singing enrols ngnln and getting
rendy to call olY tho names. This timo
she was sure that somebody wouM
want her, for> she had been patient a
whole year, jand she hadn't made any
fuss even though she had felt so sor
ry. Besides, this was the very best
tree they had ever had, and so many
had como to see lt. It was full of
gifts-not like tho little tree that tho
minister saw in the corner of n house
parlor-tho mother said, "It's most nil
tree and paper, but lt's a tree"-thero

U The
Lighted Candle
By Christopher G. Hazard
(?, 182*. Weatom Nowapayor Union.)
?T M SORRY for anyone who has to
bo out tonight," enid Mrs. Gentle,
ns she drew down tho window shades
and stirred the hearth Are, shutting
the light in and tho darkness out
and sending a host of sparks up thc
chimney to scare away the storm. Tho
disappointed wind howled in its rage
and shook the house, the ?snow
whirled about and heaped Itself up,
tho cold tried to got in at every crack
and crevice, but Nelly and her rnoth
er were as snug and safe as ' any
Christmas eve could wish to And
them. Tho Christmas. tree looked all
ready for the youngsters who were
fast asleep upstairs and dreaming
about lt, with Its
bundles and glid
ed balls lt fairly
twinkled in tho
firelight, Uko the
star of hope that
guided those wiso
people that
brought their
gifts to tho
Christ Child long
ago.
"Mother," said
Nelly, "this ls
as comfy as lt
can be with
father -away on
the wild sen, hut
I don't quite Uko
to have the out?
side of the house
all dark; I Uko to think of friendly
lighthouses when lt storms and of our
house as a kindly guide In the dark
ness.
"Well," answered her mother,
"suppose we do ns they did In that
lovely story wo read the1 other day,
and put a candle In tho window to
guido the Christ Child through tho
storm, and you can hang up another
stocking, In case he should come."
So tho four stockings by tho chim
ney corner became Ave, a shade was
lifted a little to give a glimpse of the
pleasant room, and the lighted can
dle sent Its beams out Into the stormy
night, looking for any little wanderer
who might be astray. The cheering
rays played with the snowflakes and
they seemed to feel invited In ns they
pressed upon the window panes.
Whilo they sat there listening and
looking, there came a step on the
stair and there was Tommy, In his
nightgown and peeking through the
partly opened door. Falling to seo
Santa Claus, he was about to flee up
to his room again, but Nelly caught
him and said that he must sing them a
song first, as a punishment for bis
curiosity. Tommy hod just loamed a
new song, so ho was willing enough,
and this was lt:
Five llttlo brothers sot out together
To Journoy the lifelong day;
In a curious cnrrlago, all mado of leather,
They hurried away, away.
Ono big brother and three quito small,
One weo fellow, no size at'all.
The carriage was dark and not too roomy,
They, could not move about;
The five little brothors grew quite gloomy,
Tho wee ono bogan to pout,
Till tho biggest one Whispered,
"What do you say?
Loot's leave tho carriage ani run away."
So off they scampered, the Ave together,
Far away they sped;
When somebody found the carriage of
leather.
Oh, myl How Bhfi shook her head!
'Twas ber llttlo boy's shoo; as everyone
knows?
The Ave little brothers wer o Ave little
toes.
Then, with a bow, Tommy was off
to his dreams again.
The fire was burning low and so
was tho candle, so lt was time to go
upstairs and get
out of Santo's
way, hut Just as
Nelly and her
mother were
about to do so
there came a lit
tle face up
against the win
dow pone and
they heard a
small volco, so
faint that they
could not know
what lt was say
ing. It took. Nelly
but a moment to
throw open the
door and bring
the llttlo strang
er In, but lt was
longer than that before they could cud
dle him up Into comfort and wann his
cold little toes. It was not until Christ
mas morning that the searchers found
out where the llttlo hoy had wandered
to, and when they carno to Mrs. Gentle's
house he'was happily busy In open
ing his stocking, and did not wont to
go home. After he had gone away,
with his stocking under his arm and
candy marks all over his face, Nelly
sold, "Mother, I think there is a good
deal of truth in that story about guid
ing tho Christ Child to your house
with a lighted candle."

Christmas Trees and Stockings.
Two Christmas practices, both old
and very pretty, that have come down
to us are the Christmas tree and the
hanging up of children's stockings on
Christmas eve. Each provides a way
of making gifts, and the way provided
by the stockings is especially pleasing
to children. Perhnps it is going out,
but in homes whore lt ls still followed
there are delighted children on Christ
mas morning when the mysteriously
filled stockings are examined In some
thing like awe blended with great
pleasure. The Christmas tree sur

Christmas Neckties.
Some Individual with leisure and
curious mind has figured out that 00
out of every 100 men receive a necktie
ns a Christmas-gift. The estimate ls
conservative, hut how many of the
neckties so bestowed are worn by their
recipients? The giving of neckties is a
perilous proceeding always, for a neck
tie Is essentially n matter of Indi
vidual taste. Many n man gets neck
wear at Christmas that he could read
ily enough admire ns part of a curtain
or a drape, but that he would wear
only under the compulsion of a gun
levoled ut his head.
