some of the advanced-coui\se men dur-,
ing their reguli^r class meeting, and
.spent the I'cnjainder of the day in con

merely to see that the w’ork has been

This was Captain .Austin’s seconil
inspection at P. C., having conducted
a similar one here fifteen yeara ago.
He is a native Texan and has btH'n a

iheni, Mary March -bemoancd her nog,,
ligenee in-putting off her Christmas
shopping. And that very afleruoon, the
eight women of tlieo. livitiK within a
mile aod a half of each ntlier wore to
hrave the drifts and hold their annual
party, despite the weather.
‘‘One nice bi>ok «in the house that Is
tit to give, and that h.id to tiave a tiny
hole bu.rned right smack In the center
of the lid, too,‘’ ahe wailed to Bob
.March. He tried hgrd to tliink of some
way out of the sltnatlrn. for he knew
how much .slie usually roimted qn the
annual party. .
“I'Ye Just had an-Idea and I'd better
care for It, being It’s l*»ne!y.’’^he deelareU
raltfer excitedly. “Where’s that sheet
of cellophane you pt'eled an carefully
from off that box of . tuiue the other
day? Haul that out, get me that 8na|>-
shot you had printed to send to my
slater, and by that time—well, who
knbwa!" ' '
Bob was always thinking up ways
and means to cover trp for ber lack of
planning and foresight, and she blessed
him ag she ransacked happily for the
desired Items, but when she again
loined Bob at the kitchen table, site
gave a startled shriek. -
**806. dear. L^t was the only gift In
fight and now you'yjLjailj^ It." but
he amil^ en. hla pen knife rutting
away tlfkt messy iiKiklng burn* from
the Jbook lid. Then with an old w-o<w|
burning set. he stippled the whittled
edge of that bole In tin' leather hind

double ple«*e of t'ellophane and hound

And after the women had raveil

was given the surprise of hla life
“What will you charge. Bob. to make

l.'hrlsttuus tomorrow." Turn Lambert
looked questloningly across their break
fast table at Ids wife, Lucy: “Do you
tldiik we can make the children under
stand that even Santa (3nus couldn't
urge his tiny reindeer through such an
expanse of snow?"
■‘I’ve talked tiJ^them about It but
their faith la"'bound less." Lucy’s usu
ally cheerful voice had a break In It.
“A'el how could vve tell that it«wouht
snow so long and steadily. But you
are better. Tom. We have that to be
thankful for,"
“Yea, -I’m bettec. Anything la better
than being abut up In a stuffy ofllce
all day for a man that li used tq-God's

those three kids I’m worrying ahoi'f."
“Don't worry. Tom. Let’s have ^e
faith of the children. PlI pofi corn and
we atm have a few apples and nnts
for their stockings*’ '
It was neariog noon when they heard
the whir-r-r of the mail plane over
their heads. Mary, Robert and little
Tom rushed out to w-ave greetings.
— "Look! Look!" tittle Tom sliduted.
"Something’s fallen outr’’ "
Sure-enough, a paraettuCe had heeu

*‘It’i going down

shonted.
But It mis.sed the
chimney, hit the
edge of the nM)f
and' came tumbling
down Id their midst
a gay umbrella i*'

a large white ha:: '
