Come to stay, or a-viaitin’?’’ Hoaae Is Deserted. “Just visiting. Uncle Sam—two whole weeks, though. Out to Aunt Margaret Holmes. After three years! I’d never have believed I icould stay away that long. But 500 iinilea—too far for a poor girl to af ford paying fare for a few days’ vacation., Now it’s a month, though. becauM I haven’t taken a vacation in so long. Can you taka me and my trunk right out? I’ll ride with ■you, and—” “Ain't ye heered—had no letter ner nothto’?’’ paired the old man, ‘ witoee faoa'bad drbwing trou- bted. “No-no. Anything the matter?” No, except tl:^ ain’t ttwre. Your Aunt Marg’ret said Christmas a so lonesome here she couldn’t nd another like the last. So two, thf^ days ago ahe an’ your Uncle Jack went into the next county to spend Christmas with a cousin who has a pasalo o’ children. I was by there yes-day, an’ |he house did look dismal all shot up.’’ “Isn’t there any one to'look after it?’’ “One o’ the Dill boys was asked to, I b’lieve. He—’’ . A shrill hail came from a store front across from the station. “S*say, Brice,’’ wheedled the old expressman, “would ye mind wait in’ three, four seconds? That mad shouter was Storekeeper Tomson. Been ’spectin' a box o’ Christmas stuff more’n a week, an’ ’twas jest throwed off this train. S’pose 1 take the box ’cross to him, then come an’ carry you an’ the trunk out to any o’ your girl friends? They’ll all be glad to have ye visit ’em.” But Brice had been thinking rap idly. Invites Girl Friends. “Take the box over to the-store. Uncle Sem,” ahe said, “and I'll nui across to the post office while you’re gone. I want to write some postals. And no, I won’t embarcess any of my girl friends. -You may carry me right out to the farmhouse. I know where Aunt Margaret hides the keys, and I’m perfectly sure she and Uncle Jack would want me to go right there and use everything my own. I’ll take care of the poul try," enthusiastically, “and I’ll roast one of the turkeys for Christ mas and cook everything that goes with it, pies and cakes and all. Won’t it be fun!’’ “You can invite a lot of your girl friends to eat with you,’’ grinned the expressman, entering into the spirit. “Afterward,” agreed Brice. “iThey’ll -all want to eat at home on Christmas. Then we'll have a round of nice times. But for the real Christmas I’m going to depend on their postals. There are lots of nice girls in the department store who haven’t any home and who will have to depend on the cheap boarding- Tioiises they live at. TTl wrfte' i postal to Aunt Margaret and to five or fix girls I know will be glad to spend a week or ten days with me.] And say, Uncle Sam, I’ll look round : an^ thra make out a list of grb- ceriea and other things I want you to bring, out, and—any place whefe I cpii buy a Christmas tree?’’ “Ain^t none better than gepw ri|^ deom ow your uncle’s pteM.’’ “AH right. TU get the OiU boy to help, an* wo’U rig up a nico one.” “Need any Christmas present stuff?’’ chuckled old Sam. “Mebbe ye’d like to see Tomson pry the cover off that box.’’ “ ’Deed I would,” promptly. “I'll 1 lie right over from the post office.” The girls condemned to a pros-! pective boarding-house Christmas accepted Brice’s invitation relieved- ly. On the third day Old Sam brought the hilarious five out in his ancient express wagon. Then the girls piled in like a whole jolly Christmas in itself, and the old farmhouM aeemed like to burst it self. The Christmas tree was cut and drawn home with all the ap(tfo- priate songs and carols and huxsae they could think of. and trimmed as otver a Christmas tree had been trimmed before. Draaatd in aU sorts of costumes, the happy girls sang hymns hour after hour, quitting when they were too tired to continue. And then, right in the midst of it the hearty voice of Uncle Jack roared through the door, mellowed by the softer, happy laugh of Aunt Margaret. “Tm going to have that dinky post office over there indicted,” guf fawed Uncle Jack. “Kept that post al four days before the R. F. D. delivered it. Fifteen minutes after that we were on our way. Of course, we had to come. Five more girls to help wake the old house up! Whoopee! Why didn’t you write so ' we needn’t have left the lonesome 1 place?” Need More Feed. “Why didn’jt you write so I’d have | known what to expect?” retorted I Brice. ' “Luck^r none of us did.” laughed i Aunt Margaret, “for then we might 1 not have these five extra nice girls, j Come, I must get into the kitchen.” I “But we’ve cooked and cooked, | and cooked, till—” “Not enough,” declared Aunt Mar- j garet firmly, “no matter how much you’ve done. There are all your old ! friends that must be invited to j come—though they'll come anyhow, j And we must invite a lot of extra | young people in evenings to help j keep things going. 'Then—my land! There's a wagon-load outside. Cous- ! in Mary didn’t want us to leave, so | we brought ’em all along. Jack’s going into town this evenihg to buy what he can find. If any of your girls want to go along he’d like your company.” “But, Aunt Margaret, we’ve got a treA ram-jammed full,” protested Brice. “Not enough,” firmly. "We can pack on the floor under the tree Now I’m going into the kitchen. Can’t you see, girls,” her firm voice dropping pathetically, “being Christ mas, I’ve just got to cook some-, thing.” (Rcieawd by Wcatera Nawspapar Unioa.i Germgn Priest and Schoolmaster Wrote ‘Silent Night* Nacht!
