Ted ?ev t^Arj R erly received this letter ^vjJfl I from Amy Saunders-the </V?)?$l ?ar ** Ted was concernea: yrfi ??j|i "Dear Ted: If you can * L?aSi manage to come on to New York for Christmas and have the courage to break the nows to brother Hob, all right. I haven't even been able to explain that wo are engaged, much less that we were about to be married, but as long as Meg and Bob really like you they can't object. Come in the morning if you can manage, and stop on your way from the station and aBk old Doctor Good to drop in for the great event in the afternoon-that will be better than going to his house. I tried to explain to Meg, but you know how excitable she is, and with Christmas coming, and the children's presents, and getting a fako Santa Claus for them, she just hasn't time to listen, and brother Bob'is such a tease I haven't the nerve to tell bim." "Great hat!" gasped Ted, jumping up from the dining table, where he had been reading his last letter from Amy over his solitary meal. Hastily paying the walter, he darted with all speed through the hotel corridor, up to his room. He bad written to Amy asking if she couldn't manage to be married during the holidays, but he hadn't supposed she would consent. Now there was no time to be lost, for New York was fourteen hours away. Ted rang for a messenger boy, tele phoned to the office, and when the messenger boy arrived was throwing his necessary belongings into a suit case. "Say, boy," he said to the liveried messenger, "I want you to go out and buy a-a wedding ring. Tomorrow being Christmas the stores will be closed a ad I can't get it then. All the stores are opon tonight. And bring lt to the W. & P. railroad sta tion on the eastbound platform. Here'r. a dollar for you if you get it thervj by the eight-three-and be sure ar J buy the best one the jeweler has." "What sir?" asked the boy, grinning. "That's so-they come in different sises," responded Ted. excitedly wad ding a handful of cravats into hil suitcase. "Oh, medium size, any size, only hurry. And if you have time, get some jumping monkeys, and toy balloons, and tin kitchens and things -anything kids will like." he said, handing the boy two ten-dollar billa. The next morning, after a night lu a sleeping car. Ted Beverly was still breathless as Le hurried-laden willi half-wrapped tin kitchens and varioui other toys and a suit case-from his taxi up the unpretentious brownstone front of the home of his friend Bot Saunders. Bob was Amy's brothel and Amy lived with him and Bob'? wile, Meg, and little Bobble and Peggy. Mrs. Saunders-Meg-met him at the door. "How do you dor' she said In th? most matter-ei-fact tone, just as if sh? had' seen him the day- before. "Dc come in put of the cold. Bob will tx so glad you've come. If those per fectiy lovely things are for my chll dren do let me hide them behind th? piano. Ob, by the way," she addet whispering, "you have Just come ti time. I was almost distracted. Tot always werp. so obliging. Bob ofter says that .there wasn't a man in col lego who would help a friend out o a tight place the way you would, expected the butcher boy would do lt hut he's* gone to one of those awfu barbecues-whatever that is-and 1 had offered bim $2 to do it Nov? listen-Oh, here comes Amy *?*d tin children, and I told her to ba sun to keep them out for two hours, wonder why she came back so ,ioon Come, hurry upstairs before i>*y aw you, and bring your suitcase, piesse.' Ted, although he didn't know whethei he waa Intended to get the hutchei boy away from a barbecue or Si'rpi: to conceal his presence from thd'?2htl dren, followed hts hostess up to i third story guest room. "Now, I will tell you." said Meg closing the door and locking it he kind har. "See, I brought your ka and gloves because I knew the chi] dren would suspect something if theo e?w th?m. I was expecting the butch ?r's hoy-he's Just .bout your build to Blay Banu tor the children.

Anyhow, 1 think they ar lust nice for Santa Cuma." "Is Amy weiir asked Tad ratha! pointlessly. Meg simply nodded har head tu UM affirmative. She was still thlnktnj about the galoshes. It's funny han things come in handy, even when yon don't want them at the time, isn't lt? I orien say-but, if you'll excuse me I'll Just leave you. I've a thou sand thing? to do and Amy ?nid some thing about going away this after neon and having to pack so she won't be able to help me at all. There are some books if you want to read. Hob won't be back till twelve. I told him be would be much more help if he wasn't in the way so he has gone off to the club to smoke. We will have the Santa appearance juat be fore dinner. You can ea y that you came in the skylight because there wasn't room for your pack in the chimney and that you walked down stairs. Then you can go beck and take off your disguise and go out the front door and ring the bell. The children will think you have just come. You were awfully good to offer to do thia for me." . Meg waa unlock ing the door and leaving. "You may aa well smoke If you want to," she said. "I am going to have those cur 'lins cleaned next week anyway so it doesn't matter if they do smell smoky-" "You might tell Amy that I am here." said Ted. "Oh, she doesn't mind the smoke," replied Meg. "Besides, she almost never cornea Into thia room." Ted felt himself defeated. For an hour and a half he remained in hie solitary confinement and then Meg came ngaln to see that he waa properly dressed and to give him the cue for bis descent. "Wait till I get all the way down and then start," ahe told him. "Does Amy know I om here?" Ted asked with unconcealed concern. "Haan't the remotest suspicion of it," answered Meg. ."I think ahe must be expecting someone for she haa telephoned twice to the atation to know whether the traine from the West, were late. Yours wasn't late, waa it? But I haven't said anything about your being here." "It's hard to navigate in these old boats," said Tom from under his beard. Peg waa hanging a hugh potato bag full of toys on Ted's back. "I put the presents you brought to Bobby and Peggy In with the rest," 8he said. "They are really lovely. Now remember you follow aa soon aa I get down stairs. We will all be in the drawing room." Ted got Bafely down the first flight of stairs with his heavy pack thump ing on the stairs as he came. He waa halfway . down the last dight when he caught a glimpse of Amy's pretty forehead and golden hair. He With the ?test." craned hie head, ea ?er to see more, the pack caught for a second against the banisters, he vuissed his footing In the awkward .galoshes, and with a desperate effort to regain his bal* ance he grasped frantically at the wallpaper. The next thing he knew he was sprawling in a confused jumble of toys and rad cotton flannel and white hair and sacking at the foot of the stairs. "P'.-uie those galoshes!" was his first unceremonious remark aa he pulled himself out of the confusion. And there stood Amy, Bob and Mr*. Meg and Bobby and Peggy-ail more or less wide-eyed and Incredulous. "Santa fen downstairs; that'r all. He Isn't used to stairs, you know," asid Meg with rare presence of mind anx'ous only to preserve her chil dren's faith In tho myth of Santa Claus. Sho hurriedly adjusted the falso face that had flopped up am the fall. x "Poor old Santa.** said little Peggy; softly patting his arm, and Bobby wast eagerly examining the toys that had spilled from the pack. "Great guns, it's Tea!" began Bob; tu an aside, but Meg cupped her band over his mouth. Meantime Amy was holding a whit-; pared conversation with the confused* Santa. "Why, these are papa's galoshes,''; said Bobby. ; "That's not Santa, at all, anyway,", said little Peggy. "It's Mr. Ted Ber-; erly what's going , to be our ancla, i He's come to morry out Aunt Amy, so there, and ha's last dressed upi like Santa so's to fool mamma and ?apa.

' *' .-,-/, DOROIHYS; CHRISTMAS GIFT AY, believe, me. the fellows were glad to see. me back again," said George Porter to the family at the din ner table, "Professor Parr | said I looked like a col lege man, and all the fol lows said I bad changed a great deal since September." George had just arrived a fev hours before for hie first vacation back from college. He had, indeed, been very anxious to get home again among his old friends. The weary hours on the train he had whiled away by telling the other boys about all the dances he was going to at tend with Dorothy Smyth, "some classy girl from Bryn Mawr." In the course of the dinner Doctor Porter could not but take down his son a little. The all-important fra ternity man was roasted considerably for his overbearing manner. However, George took it sil with the stoic dig nity of the captain ot the freshman football team. As a matter of fact dad sank considerably in his son's estimation. After dinner George's older sister Mary asked him whether he was go ing to call up Dorothy for the Christ' mas dance at the Hadley's. "Aw, pshaw, ?jere a fellow works his head oft at school," said George in hiB best blase, "be comes borne for a little rest, and then you expect him to dance. And half the girls at Behool have it on Dorothy anyhow." "What are you going to give her for Christmas?" said Mary, hiding a smile, for she knew Just how George felt about Dorothy. "Gee, I never thought about that; and I've but ten cents to my name." This last statement showed Just bow good a time he had with his fraternity brothers the last days be fore vacation. "Make lt C. O. D., Georgie. Call on dad; he'll give all you'll need." "Not on your life," came bask George, "a college man must be able to shift for himself. Why, half the fellows work their way. i'll go out j ts earn the money myself tomorrow. Besides, I've been roasted enough.' True to his word George Porter was out early the next morning looking for remunerative toil. A window-card In a large cafeteria, "Help Wanted," arrested bia attention. He strolled up to the fat proprietor, seated behind the cash register, and honored him by offering him a college man's services. "Any experience in the kitchen?" he was asked. In spite of tbs fact that th? 'total of George's kitchen experience .con sisted of a few evening's fudge-in. lng at Dorothy's, he said boldly, sure have." "Where?" This confused him a little. "Aw- | er-at a friend's last winter." "So you've been at Friend's cafe? Well, ni take you. A dollar and half a day and meals. Just go to the kitchen and get a white coat** George had bluffed and he waa go ing to make good the- bluff. He rushed around at a great spaed sand ing the soiled dishes to the kitchen. Accidently ha picked up half a piece j of lemon pie the owner of which had [ Just gone to the ice water faucet to | replenish her glass. "Wait minute with my pie, If you pleass." said the old maid victim of George's xeaL "No, I won't. take anything j back out ot the mess on your tray, j either., You go end get me another at j your expense." The hero ot many a football battle | here showed a yellow streak. He bought the pie for the injured guest. Probably due to his anger over "thal old hen" he next scattered the silver j all over the floor. Without ihp least thought of sanitation LA replaced it on the stand. Suddenly the boss told him to carry all the silver to the kitchen to have lt washed. Hera the angry Irish cook gave him a hot re ception, "Why didn't rou Just take lt to the kitchen and back. The guanta would have thought it was clean, hut BOW they kicked to the boas. Take a boy, he has no td va of desalineas," Christmas shoppers coming into tho ] cafeteria remitted George of his gift. One dollar-fifty was not much, but he would not ask dad for more under suy consideration. Finally ha decided on something that has boen the last re source of many a young man-a box] Df candy. A whole dr- with soiled dishes, half-consumed food, and scolding was two ot George's pels cama la during the afternoon. Like a malden sur prised* at ker dip ax the spring, George went uto hiding. The man ager happened to aaa him ducking Behind the counter, and asked him. what ailed him. 'Tat, don't let them, see me!" sold ?eorge. "Who? Are the police attar yef Btld the manager and grabbed him by the collar. This was too muck for George. H* howled over the aaaacgev and rushed loto the kitchen. Bu friends laughed and thought their part. The manager followed George. "Hm," he sneered. "Some of your friends from the swell side of the fence. Well. Archibald, you eau hide your pretty face In the kitchen after this. Just go and work the dish washer." George never had bien so mad in his life. He would have "busted the fathead's bean." but for Dorothy's sake he stayed. Besides he was no quitter, but worked like a hero at whatever work he bad set out to do. No Satan io the inferno could have felt more anger at the sinners he was immersing in the fiery pools than George did toward the innocent dishes of which he Immersed bucket after bucket in the patent dish-washer to the impatient shouts of the girls, "Shoot more dishes, Archibald!" Finally at six o'clock, tired and sweated, George le'r tho place. He felt Just a blt doubtful about hie chances; "What would she say?" When George was about to leave Dorothy at tho door of the Smyth mansion after the dance on Chriatraas night, ahe turned to him to say, "Of all my presents I liked your box cf candy best. It was the sweetest thing. And Donald says he saw you working for lt. You shouldn't go to so much trouble just for me, George." "Trouble, Dorothy? Don't mention it." And with somewhat of an effort "I Sure Have." be added, "I had lots of fun; besides, I was working for you." Dorothy's head sank Just a little lower. "Dorothy," said George, softly, j '?couldn't I work for you all my. life?" .George placed his hands op Doro thy's far; cap: and pressed back gen tly. Her head rosa slowly and their, lips met for .one long second. Then George fastened his fraternity pin on her gown, the emblem which the rules'permitted ?to be given only to ''nancees, and wives." - (Cupyrisht, Western Newspaper Union.)
