THE TOE OF IMVY'S STOCKING.
It wqs vory cold, it was Bnowing
liard, and U waB Cbristmas Eve. A9
Davy brought in an armful of flrowood
and put it iu thc comer of the kltchen,
ho said aloud: " Ilow wlllSauti Clau3
pet about to nigtit?"
"Sauta Cluus! ha, ha, ha, lia! '
laugbcd his brollitr Gilbert, who sat
with bis chalr lillcd back against the
wall and wiih his bands iu bis pockets.
" If Sauta Claus visitcd auybody, do
you suppose bc'd como hert?" be
askcd.
"Of couibo bc would," said Davy,
stoutly. Davy was a stuidy liltlo fel
low, with chccks as ruddy aa a winter
apple and brown eyes ebiuing witb
bealth and spirils. " 1 know bo'd be
surc to kcep.eomething for rae; cuougb
to put intbo toe of my etocking at any
rate," bc addcd.
" Perhaps he'll put in tbat rcd cow
tbat you'vo wantcd to buy for uiother
for a long lime," snecred Gilbert.
"Idou'tkuow what ho will put in,
bul if it was cver so little, it ruigbt belp
to buy the cow; tsven a nickcl would do
to bcgiu with, you know," said Davy,
stoutly.
Gi.bert laugbcd and called hiui " a
Btupid," to tbink it worth wbila to be
gin to buy a cow by saving a nickcl.
As for hitnself, ho bad half a dollar, and
be meant to spend itin having a ijood
timo iu the vil age on Christtuas Day.
IJut Davy didn't ruiud his brolbcr's
rldiculo, for he was used to it. After
hu had caten his eupper, with a good
appetite, of baked potutoes with a 1 Ule
boI', he talkcd with his ruother ab ut
tho tinie wben tbey would have a fiue
cow and have plenty of milk and but
ter. Then things wou'.d thcn go mucb
betler in their little home, which waa so
poor now. His mother smil:d hopc
fully when sbe remembered tbat it was
Davy who had cultivated tho potaloes
so carefully, tbat the crop was of tho
very best kincl, and tbat tbey had plenly
in the cellar now to last all winter.
He askedhis mother for his very best
gray woolen stocking9, and hung tbem
up by the wide QlMashioned chimney
beforo he went to bed. "Good-night,
momkins," ho Baid, cheerily," it's very
early to go to bed, but one must give
Santa Claus a chance, you know."
It was a long lime beforo he could go
to sleep, and after a while he thought
he hcard Santa Claus calling: "Now
Dasher, now Danccr, now Pranccr,
now Vixen. On Comet, on Cupid, on
Dunder and Blitzen! " and the ecamper
ing of boofs of tho eight tiny reindeer
over the roof. Then heburied his hcad
cloeer in the pillow and wsnt to sleep.
It was very early when he awoke the
next morning. So early tbat the stars
were shininc in the clear skies, and the
new-fallen snow lay light as down over
evorv branch and twie of the creat elm
tree into which he looked from his win-
dow.
But ho did not spend mucb timo at
the window, both because be was so
cold and because he was anxious to sco
what was in his stockinff.
He pulled on hia clothes hastily and
hurried into tho kitchen. There ho
found it very dark, but he knew his
way to tho chimney, whero ho felt
about for his stocking, which he Eoqn
found, and oh ioyl It was full to tho
very top.
He quickly raked tho ashes from tho
buricd coals and tbrcw on tbem Bome
pino cones, wbich at onco lcapcd into a
bright blaze.
Now ho would seo what was in his
stocking. It was not heavy, but it wbb
very full. First ho pulled out a picco
of crumpled brown paper.
"1 couldn't expect. to flud anything
but a bit of crumpled paper at tho very
top," he thought.

Davy Mtl not repiy ai once, ior oy
this time he had pullcd out a dozJ,n
piccts of paper, and he was rcally dis-
appointed. I am afraid there wcro
tcars both in his voice and in his cscs
when ho flnally stammertd out:
"I I gucsa there rcaly is somc-
thing iu tho toe."
He pulleu out a packagc as uo epoKe,
which was ticd up wilh many stnngs
and wranpcd in papor after paper.
When ho had taken off tho last wrap-
piug, he camo to a lit'le box, and, open
itiK it. hc found just a Bpritr of bright,
thining rcd holly bcrrics wi'h their
green l.-avcs.
It was eucu a aisappoinuntni, mai
even uubert old not laugn. "roor
Dave," he said, " S.tnta Claus might
have saved himsclf the troublo."
Uut his mother, who had como into
the kitchen now, kissed thc liitl tellow,
and 'old him hc should have somc eggs
to scll at thc grcathouse, andsho would
t iu the sprig of holly iu his coat, so
ihat thcy would know he was kcepiug
Christmas.
' It is very prelty holiy anyway,
momkins," he said, looking at itthrough
his tcars.
The more ho looked at it the prct-
ticr it seemcd, until when hc was on
his way tothe grcathouao with a basket
of cggs he thought ho had never seeu
anjtbiug half so bcautiful aa the shin-
ing rcd berries at nis outtou-acij.
When ho rcachcd tho governor's
bou1 and showed tho eggs to tho cook
in the kitchen she boughfthemat once.
Sbe looked at the holly at his button-
holc and said it was very prelty, the
prcttiest she had cver seeu. Then sho
whiopcred somelhing to the butler,

Davy was still wanuing hia haudsby
ihe kitchen Urc, anu tolu nim uiat tuo
govcrnors laay wauteu lo see nim.
" Wants to see mcl" exclaimeu Uavy,
very mucb astonishcd.
The butler asaured him that there
was no mi8tako,aod Davy, full of won-
der, followed him up atairs into the
dining room.
He never uail Deen in sucn a Deauu
ful place befcrc, but it was not the flne
room but tho governor's lady tbat at
tractcd his attention, she waa so pretty
and smiled down upon him so pleas-
antly
Sbe asked him where he got the
beautiful hol y, and when he told her
Sauta Claus had brougbt it, she seemed
verv mucb pleaseu.
" Would you sel. it, then?" sho
asked. Davy said yes, " because I want
to buy a rcd cow for my mother and
that will begin it."
"bo it will," sam tbe lady, givinc
him a dolnr, " and here's a colden or
ange for you, too," she added, picking
out a large ono from a dish ot Iruit.
When Davy thanked her, he started
for home, very much pleased with tho
money and tbe orange. " I wonder
what Gill would Bay now?" ho said to
himself , triumphantly.
He had only gono a little way when he
met a baker brincing some (JhristmaB
puddlng on a tray to sell at the gov
crnors houso. Ho was Binging as ho
came along, and walking so carelessly
that Davy saw him tlip on a pieco of
ice and ran forward to catch tho tray
before it fell.
Bul as bo did bo be dropped his basket
and the golden orange rolled over the
8B0W.
"Ah, ha!"said the baker, " what a
Ono orange! I'll give you a ChristmaB

lle ran laster tban cver anrr icaving
tho baker, and would li ivo bcrn at
homo soon, if ho bad notovcrtakcn two
Bailors who wcro quarrcling.
As eoon ns thcy Baw Davy, tboy
stopptd wrangling bctwern theuiselvis
to ask him what hc had in his baakct.
" It is a ChristnidS pudding that Vm
carrying home for dlnncr," answcred
Davy.
" It's tho very IblnK wo want, lom,"
said one of Iho Bailors.
1 So it is rcpllcd his companiou, and
then withoutrnoro words thcy snatchcd
tho basket from Davy'ti hand and ran
off, Icaving the boy crjiug bitterly.
Wlnl" ho was still Bobbuii' and wip-
ing awav his teara with his coat sletvo,
he heard a quecr, crcakiua; voice ex
claim:
"What'a the mattcr? It's awful
dark, what's tho mattei?''
He looked about him, but could see
nobody. It was very straogc, for Iho
world was so white and so stil t vciy
wherc, that any moving thlnc could
have becn seen for a lonc diatancc.
" It's awful dark 1" Tbis limc Davj'
thouyht that tho voice came from an
old pea jackot that ono of tho eailors
liBd tbrowu away as bc ran.
But what wa3 it? He waa a little
afraid m ho went near it curiously.
"Oh, dcarmel Oh, dear mcl Oh,
dear mel What's the matter?" Baid
the voico.
13 y this timo Day was used to it, and
Btooping over the juckcl carefully to un
tie thc string with which it was fast
ened, the talkiug still goiug on. As he
opcucd it, a beau iful icd aud green
parrot ilew out and perehed itstlf on his
aboulder. Davy was hardly more dc
lightcd thau frighlened. When tho bird
flew out it laugbcd violeutly, but in a
few momenta it bcgan to shiver and
cry witb tbe cold.
" II-oo h-oo," cried tho parrot, climb
ing down from Davy's shoulder and
puiting his head ineide bis coat.
" You'd better go in the basket and
be covcred up," said Davy, who felt
quite at home with his prize by this
time, and bad arransed tne eauor's
jacket in his basket. Tho parrot made
no objections, but jusi as Uavy nad nim
aaftly stowed away, ho poked his head
out to exclaim, " Pretly little boy,"
and then seltled down muttering, " aw
ful darkl awful dark!"
Davy had been too busy with thb
parrot to notico that some ono was ap
proacbing; but when he laoked up now
he noticed that Silas, tho Buperintend
ent of tbe governor's farm, was cljse
by. He was driving a llne red cow,
and was hurrying homo to be in timo
for his Chrislmas dinner.
" Merry Christmas, Davy, havo you
got a turkey in your basket?" he cried
out.
Davy ran up to him, and opening tho
jacket, said eagerly:
"But see what I havo got, Mr. Su
perintendent." " Whew, what a beautyl The gov
ernor's ltdy would give a hundred dol
lars for that."
"Who are you, who aro you?"
screamed the parrot, nestling closer in
tbe basket.
" Polly want a crackcr Polly want
Bome coffeo?" asked the Buperintend
ent, insinuatingly.
" Polly want a cracker Polly want
some coffeo," roplied the bird doubt
fully. Davy had been thinking tho matter
over, and told thc supcrintendent tho
whole storv. asking him if ho would
givo him tho red cow in exchango for
the parrot.
The 8unerintondent, who remem
bered how tho governor's lady had
grioved about her parrot that had died
a fow days bcfore, felt suro sho would
givo him more thau tho price of bis
cow for it. So he took tho bird and
cave Davy the cow, and told him that
he would tako the riBk of tho sailora re
turnlns.
Hc would havo beon no cnd of
fun," said Davy regretfully, as ho
handed over the basket: " but after all,
it was a red cow that I wantod for
mother."
When ho stoppod beforo tho door a
fow minutcs later and sbouted, " Ilero
sho is, mother, bero sho IbI" his mother
could bardiy beucvo her oycs.
"isn'c buo a boautv. momkinsY
Davy exclaimcd.
" 1 should think bo: such a beautyl 1
never saw so fino a cow," his mother
answered. " But Davy ?' she added
doubttully
But Davy insiBted upon putting the
cow in the stable, whilo he told his
story. His mother kept wiping tho
happy tears from her eyoB while ho
talked, and when ho had flnished, bIio
could only exclaim, botween hor laugh-
ter and ner sods," weu, i novori "
When Gilbert came that night, with
a black cye and torn clothcB from his
day iu tho vilhgo.ho found Davy milk
inc tho cow under tho shcd.
" AVhero did you got her?" ho asked
in astonishment.
