"Why, she not down sick?" said I,
a sudden ache of sorrow smiting me.
"Yes," replied the boy, "she's been

to by way of explanation, "she didn't

I nodded silently, and he was gone.
The merry peals of laughter rang
up from the streets like mockery. The
jingling of bells, the clatter and con

flung up to me not one glad murmur
of delight; the faint and far-off blar

like over the drowsy ear of night, had
sounded sweeter to me had I stood

"Come, then," said I, buttoning my
coat closely at the throat, "I am
ready;" and a moment later we had
stepped into the frosty night. We
moved along in silence, the little fel
low half running, half sliding along
the frozen pavement in the lead; and
I noted, with a pleasurable thrill, that
he had donned the little fuzzy cap and
mittens, and from time to time was
flinging, as he ran. admiring glaaces
at his shadow on the snow.
Our way veered but a little from
the very center of the city, but led
mainly along through narrow streets
and alleyways, where the rear ends
of massive business blocks had dwin
dled down to Insignificant proportions
to leer grimly at us as we passed lit
tle grated windows and low, scowling
doors. Occasionally we passed a
clump of empty boxes, barrels, and
such' debris and merchandise as had
been crowded pell-mell from some to
ner storage by their newer and more
dignified companions; and now and
then we passed an empty bus, bulging
up in the darkness like a behemoth
of the olden times; or, Jutting from
still narrower passages, the sloping
ends of drays and carts innumerable.

was a row of gratings, evidently de

than as openings for light. There was
but one opening, an upright doorway,
half above ground, half below, with

to it. A light shone dimly from the
little window, and as the boy mo

woman, sitting on the edge of a low
bed, leered upon me, but with no
salutation. An old cook-stovd, propped
up with bricks, stood back against the
wall directly opposite, and through
the warped and broken doors ln front
sent out a dismal suggestion of the
fire that burned within. At the side
of this, prone upon the floor, lay the
wretched figure of a man, evidently
in the- deepest stage of drunkenness,
and thrown loosely over him was an
old tattered piece of carpet and a lit
tle checkered shawl.
There was no furniture to speak of;
one chair—and that was serving as a
stand—stood near the bed, a high
hump-shouldered bottle sitting on it, a
fruit-can full of water, and a little dim
and smoky lamp that glared sulkily.
"Jamesy, can't you git the man a
cheer er somepln'?" queried a thin
voice from the bed; at which the red
faced woman rose reluctantly with
the rather sulleta words; "He can sit
here, I reckon," while the boy looked
at me significantly and took up a po
sition near the "stand."

she spoke j a smile of perfect sweet
ness rested on the face, and the hand
within my own nestled In dovelike
peace.
The boy bent over the white face
from behind and whispered something
In her ear, trailing the little laughing
lips across her brow as he looked up.
"Not now, Jamesy; wait a while."
"Ah!" said I, shaking my head with
feigned merriment, "don't you two go
to plotting about me!"
"Oh, hello, no, cap?" exclaimed the
boy, assuringly- "1 was on'y jist a
tellin' sis to ast you if she mightn't
open that box now—honest! And you
jist ask her if you don't believe me—
I won't listen." And the little fellow
gave me a look of the most penetra
tive suggestiveness; and when a mo
ment later the glad words, "Christmas
gift! Jamesy," rang out quaveringly
in the thin voice, the little fellow
snatched the sack up, in a paroxysm
of delight, and before the girl had
time to lift the long dark lashes once
upon his merry face, he had emptied
its contents out tumultuously upon
the bed.
"You got it on to me, sis!" cried
the little fellow, dancing wildly round
the room; "got it on to me this time!

the shoes, stroked the cloak and dress,
and there was just the suspicion of a
sob in her throat as she fondled the

toward me. t
"Lean down, here," said the girl, a
great light ln her eyes and the other
slender hand sliding from beneath
the covering. "Here Is the box you

filled with great bewilderment.
And the eyes
were
"You see," she went on, the thin voice
falling in a fainter tone, "I knowed
that money ln the box—that is, the
I knowed them bills 'cause one
of 'em had a inkspot on it, and the
other ones had been pinned with it
they wasn't pinned together when you
sent 'em, but the holes was in where
they had been pinned, and they was
all pinned together when Jamesy had

The boy had by this time ap
preached the bed, and was gazing cu
riously upon the solemn little face.
"What'e the matter with you, Sis?"
he asked in wonderment; "ain't you

lifted to the grimy one till they were
