CALISTA'S CHRISTMAS
How a Girl Was Changed Fr0ITI*^The
Selfishness to Charity
By CLARISSA MACKlE.
(Copyright, 1909, by American Ptess
ciatlon.j 4
For twelve long years^Callsta
had fought against, ttiset jjrlm
which had removed her It/
within the space of a short
month and left her hofele8
eyed In the midst of an emp% hou
even now echoing wltte happy'
stilled forever.
She was a frail little wo
a bruised heart which she bid to
a cold exterior, defiant blue eyes a'tidf
a bitter tongue. All the softness^Sf.
her youth had congealed. She was
estranged from happiness.
Twelve times since that awful y^ar
had Calista hung the stockings before,
'the fireplace to, the, Mttteg,, .room
mother's warm woolen hose, father%
large sock, Bobby's two stockings
(gaping expectantly), little Ann's white*
ones and. last of all, her own, limp
black one.
And twelve titnes had Calistri'^ftljetl
them with shining eyes and swe^fin^
heart. Then when Christmas morning
dawned and she awoke to the bitter
ness that awaited her In the silent
house and in the sight of the row of
bulging stockings hanging before the
smoldering fire she would By down to
the sitting room ancf tear them from
the shelf and empty each one of Its
burden.
The bureau' drawers In the" sinnt
roofed bedrooms were filled with the
little treasures Calista had bought for
her loved ones.
Again It was Christmas eve. and
Calista had come home from shopping.
Her arms were full of parcels, and the
mow flakes .powdered the dark .hair,
that framed her small pale face
paler than usual, for the young minis
ter bad met her at the corner and
walked home with her.
At the gate he bad timidly reilevod
himself of a burden that troubled him.
He had' remonstrated with Calista
Thorp because of her selfishness.
Her cheeks burned as she remember
ed bow his spectacles had reflected
"HEBBY CHBXSX1IAB, MIBB CALISTA!"
the moonlight ^until they seemed like
luminous supernatural eyes reading
her soul.
He bad ventured only a few words,
and his concluding sentence still rang
in her ears:
"Surely there is room In your heart
for others outside your loved ones
who have gone! God grant you a hap
py Christmas, Miss Calista!"
He was very young and very poor
and very much in earnest, and be had
a young wife and family at home
awaiting him. yet he had found time
to concern himself over Calista Thorp,
the most skeptical member of bis
flock.
For the first time a light broke in. on
Calista's brain. For the first time
she saw herself in her true character.
She saw that in giving herself up to
those who were goue she was hiding
her talent in a uapkln.
It was not those loved ones she was
benefiting it was the living she was
denying. What right bad she to keep
all for the dead, who could use nothing
she would give them?
Was she not ip giving It to. them
hoarding it for herself? .All of a «iid
den a realization of, her true position
•rushed upon her with resistless force.
And' "how long had she shot herself
In this world of her.own peliteb tnak-
tog? Twelve years.
A shame came In fiffer hea^t that Bhe
had ali iQils ^vhlle takeQ po iiitere&^in
a single living being' at Christmas
time.
There were the children among her
Wlatlves, the children of her friends,
bnt, above all, the chifdren of th« poor.
When she thought xA^be many little
ones whom even a penny toy would
delight she was sejzed witb a desire
on this Christmas to i^Jpe out the
stain.,.
The parcels tattled to the floorr^the
pipe which her fathei* woftld nevef
smoke, the soft wools which ber tHotb
fingers would never knit, the toys
with which Bobby might not play the
morntog, #hen Chrlstniiaa
,\Viis stirring Arouud, iier bouse. Two
great baskets were tilled with' gifts
from the overflowing drawers In'the
closed chambers, and Calista's best
cloak and bat lay on the sofa.
ijoorhouw was three miles away
on the highroad, and a snowplow had
levelt'tl a broad trai'U to the very door.
Galis.ta. olttd in her best, put on her
Mtershoes and started forth, a basket
Sftjltbfer. hotjd.
ie was (juite pale' and tired when
[e turned Jiitb ilje high white gate
^advance^ up ih|j|ath, bordered on
jfiltLsIde vi'lthigli^m^e^ar trees.

_anai
Ijkirid.Jii the s|ite.^'
in the
long dining hall wfi^nX'allsta rang the
ben, and when th^door opened the
bluff, brown eyed doctor himself stood
bjefore her.
^^lt rry Christmas Mlss'Oallsta! So
yoH?are pla.vtuftRa'nta Claus this morn
1 am glud of that, because some
ofvjny old people are feeling very blue
today."
He relieved her of the baskets and
led the way into the cheery warmth
Of his comfortable office, where Calis
ta sat down before the glowing stove
and thawed out her frosty fingers.
When she spoke her eyes were fasten
,ed on the red coals, and the words
came hesitatingly,
"I've kept Christmas alone—for
twelve years. Somehow I didn't care
about seeing anybody. 1 Just wanted
to try to bring back things as they
used to be—before"—
Dr. Keyes wiped his glasses and re
placed tbeiu on his fine nose. Had be
not stood side by side with little Ca
lista' Thorp and fought hopelessly the
battle of life and death—and lost
And had not Calista turned on him
like a little wild animal and con
deiuued him because he bad failed?
She had avoided speaking to him
afterward, and this was the tirst time
they had met. aud she was talking to
bill) now as it she bittl forgotten that
be had Inst the grim battle for her
loved ones.
V-T
"before my folks died," weut on
Calista steadily. "But it can't be done!
The luiuisii'r talked to me about It.
and 1 got to thinking last night tuay
b« the best way to live over happy
times Is to give thera to somebody
else that never bad any, so I've
brought all the presents I've given
mother and father and the children
ever siuce-then— and 1 want the folks
here to have them."
Two tears rolled down her cheeks
from Calista's overcharged heart, and
others followed and fell into the glass
of grape jui -e which Dr. Keyes held
at ber lips, aud perhaps it was that or
the large warm nand which rested on
'her shoulder that revived the. tittle
woman to.renewed strength.
"You need never be without a famj
ly. Miss Calista," said the doctor at
last-in a husky voice. "1 have a fami
ly here—forty people—old and youn^,
and little children. The.v need help
and encouragement and comfort. Some
may have another chance in the world
If they receive a word of womanly
sympathy in season. Will you be my
right hand here V"
"I'd like to." sobbed Calista thank
fully. f.
Together they distributed the con
tents of the two baskets, and Calista
found her tongue saying soft pleas
antries a|id her* cold face responding
warmly to grateful smiles.
She saw ber mother's kindly look
and her father's approving nod in the
faces of many of these indigent, old
people, and the delight of Bobby and
little Ann were repeated tenfold by
the orpbaned poor children of the doc
tor's household.
"Too have been an angel in disguise
to them this Christmas day," said the
doctor as he. carried Calista,home in
his sleigh that evening, for Calista had
stayed to the dinner of pork tenderloin
and apple sauce, with vegetables and
many dainties contributed bjy the good
overseer from his own scanty pocket.
Calista Thorp's house was empty no,
longer. There was always room for
some broken soul from the poorhouse
—some one who drooped in the at
mosphere which conld never be lnsep-'
arable from the institution and who
needed comfort and encouragement be
fore taking up the burden of life and
attaining Independence in the end.
The following Christmas Calista was
welcomed as an old friend by the in
mates of the poorhouse.
At ber bidding each one had hung
his or her stocking on a line stretched
before the dormitory doors, and that
evening Calista and Di4. Keyes had
filled them all.
Calista's blue eyes were shining with
happiness as the doctor drove her
home nnder the Christmas stars.
"W6 remembered every one," she
said contentedly, leaning back among
the soft robes.
"Every .one?' he repealed doubt-
folly.
"Wbyj who have we forgotten?"
"Mfc" be ««id gravely.

your heart. I, too. waut a gift."
There was a bushed silence then un
til Calista found courage to ask shyly
"What shall 4 give—to you—my best
friend?"
"Give me a' place in your heart,'
Calista. I must be there also. We will"
work together. Surely you have room?
in your heart for m$ too!"
He leaned over and looked in her
eyes, where joy shone serene.
She gave her band into his with sim
ple faith.
"There is room in my heart for yon,
Henry—room for the memory of my
dear ones, room for the whole world.",
