That very morning she had started out to arork, her precious savings tucked aamy in her purse, her heart all but singing out lo^. Then, when she got off the car, someone in the motley crowd bumped her elbow and her pursearas knocked from her hand. Markmetta dived tor DR—HR—ING!

T^t was why her feet lagged on her homeward way. Her hand on the door of the base ment flat, at the dirty tenement house where she lived, she noticed a big automobile drawing up at the curb, and an elegantly dressed lady slumming. Showing off! She turned her back on the pictuzw, flung open the door and stepped iiiside. "Hello, Sis." Jimmy looked up brightly. "Tonight’s the night!" Markmetta looked dully at her mother. "I lost my purse," she said tone- lessly. "Some kid snatched it thia morning. It looked just like that McCurty kid that comes here to play with Jimmy so much but he.ran so fast X couldn’t be sure." "Don’t cry, honey," her mother said. "We’ll, make out, somefapw." There was^'knock. Mrs. Clancy went to the door and q;>ened it. There stood the lady of the big automobile, her arms piM high with packages. "Xs this where Jixzuny Clancy lives?" "Yes, ma’am.’’ Mrs. Cfiancy stepped badt. "Won’t you come in?" The lady stepped inside. Sie kept smUiag it Jimmy, whose eyes werd wide and bri^i. . "I met Santa Claus, down the street this afternoon, Jimmy," she said, "and he asked ff I ^uld bring these things to you. He said he was going to be very busy tonight" Jfanmy was feveririily tearing at the pac^ges, whidi the lady had dr^i^ed into a big chair beside him. As hfai heart’s desires emerged from their tinsel wrappings Jimmy shout ed with delight Under cover* of the * excitement Marionetta drew near the pretty lady and whispered: ^ "TaUmeJbuw you knew-about Jim- my?’‘ ' "Why, my dear, it’s such a strange story! This morning I saw a little boy snatch a purse that smneone dropped, and when he ran away X had my diauffeur follow him and bring back to me. He told me he wanted to keep the money to buy ssase toys for a little crippled fi^d whose folks were-too p^ to buy filings for him.|I promised him X’d play Santa Claus to Jimmy if he’d promise me to wait on that comer fof the girl who dropped the purse, bvery morning at w same hour, until he found her and gave it back to- bar." "Why," cried Marionetta, "did you ever hear anything so like a fairy tale?

Efo asked all persons contemplating exdianging gratings by long dis tance telephone to place their calls some time other than Christmas day and New Year’s day as a contribution toward America’s preparatkms. In making his appeal, Mr. Mc Cullough said, "Lcmg distancs fa cilities have b^ crowded with calls ever since the United States was at tacked on Decemlier 7. "Government long distance tele phone requirements, both military and civil, have increased sharply. In dustrial plants, stepping up the tempo of production, have started us ing long distance in an ever-increas ing volume. “In additiem, news services of es sential and semi-essential nature have found it necessary to increase their use of long distance. Long dis tance lines also are used to link the stations of the radio networks.''On top of this, the heavy volume of ci- vilikn calls which we had already anticipated shows signs of increas- ing^lteyond the capacity of dur facili ties, lde||gite our all-out preparation of the past months. Unless there is a sharp^reduction in volume of non- essential lont distance calls on Christmas and New Year’s day, there mi^t certainly be delays on essen tial calls. "None of us wants that to happen, so we appeal to you not to place calls P. S. BAILEY, Adm., With Will Annexed. Dec. 16, 1941.—6-4p.

The touch seemed to ^e 1^ an idea. Jerry was romantic and they were both so, young. "No matter i^erev- er I migr be, little Ann,” he said, "I’ll send you red roses at Christ mas time and you will know."
