"Maybe he be sick," said the broth* sr, sa he dusted carefully the array of fruit arranged with such a holiday air In the narrow window of his shop. "He come If he not Bick. You walt. Banty man no forget" But Rosie In spite of her brother's sncouraging wcrda became very imps* dent Finally she started in search of he kind friend, who was none other than the Banty of her street Not the real Santy of Christmas ere, but a man abo Just pretended he was the ssme [r- -Mal friend of holly and cheer and wore a cloak and hat of red. faced with (ur, and carried inatoad of a long whip o urge tired reindeer, a sign which ?ld of a wonderful toyshop Just iround the corner. A week before Pietro had seen from Hs little shop windows thia aame San :y man atagger and fall. Then both he ind Rosie had helped the stranger into the fruit shop, where food and sympa thy had been generously giren. Now, Lt was the day before Christmas and he ?tranger who each day had stopped kt Pietro's little shop had failed to ippesr. "Maybe-ho np the t'reet some wherea," the brother had called to Roale. "When you seo heem, tell beem, tomorrow we look tor him to eat with aa. Yes?" Rosie nodded and went on down, the long avenue. There was a gentle snow railing, jost enough to add to the street the touch of Christmas. But nowhore ?ould Rosie see the kind Santy man ot tier street *'ho had told her such won lerful tales of toys, fairies sud ot the real country of deep billa and red ann iete. Suddenly she thought of something, a something so different that lt made her heart go thumpty-thump. Sba would go to the wonderful toyshop, lust around the corner and see for her leif, if her friend was there. But not a tired, hurried clerk of th? ihop hod time to answer Rosie's ques tions. Finally she approached a tail (ray-haired man standing in the center )f the long aiple. She felt certain he ?vould know something about the San* y of her ?treaty . . ? I "Please, do yon know our Santy nan?" "Who?" asked the man, "The Santy man, who were a red :oat, csp and carried a sign?" "No, I don't. What is lt you want to )uy. little girl?" "I don't \ ant to buy nothln*. Pm ust lookin' for the Santy man of my itreet Ho-" Then Rosie could say to more. The lumps would stick in 1er throat, no matter how hard she. iwallowed. Just what might have happened ls lard to say. If a lady standing near isdn't heard what Rosie said and van ted to help her. She knew exactly vhat to do. An hour later, after seeing Pietro at ila little shop. Rosie rode away with he lady, who was very beautiful, by he way, in her big automobile, to the ?ospltal, where the poor Santy had >een taken tho night before. It was a- wondering, curious little toslo, who followed her friend down he long, cool hall to the ward where he sick Santy man hy. Timidly sha calked to the man's beside. He saw ter. He held out his hand. Rose rrabbed it and held it close and fast a her own little hands. "Oh-I'm so glad you're found. Ma nd Pietro ?ova you se muon. I never rould have found you If the beautiful ?dy hadn't--" But Rosie didn't finish the sentence, sr Santy hadn't heard a word she was eying. He was staring with Veep; trange eyes at the lady, who had rawn nearer the sick man's bed. "Sis," he whispered "Bob," she answered. There Rosie eat with' ihinlng eyes nd a little heart thumping* and lis ooed to the .wonderful story of her anty man and the lady. Santy was phe other than tbs isdy's brother, hom she hadn't seen since the day. ears and years ago, ha ran away to sa. And the lady? Sha ?as the beau iful fairy of tho toy shop. "And did ron knnw ?tl the Wfnt Sha wned Hf " "Year "Why didn't yon go ?ad see bert** j "Because I waa too poor, sick and rood." Now, of course, like all stories where lirias and Santy hold forth, every ody waa glad and lived happy ever rterward. It waa* wonderful day for! osie and Pietro. And up and down Rosie's street too,' 1?re was gladness; for the good nowa' ad spresd to tba ehilircn, Rosie and ie sparrows told, that tba Santy maa; t their street had toned a sister.
