Paula covered her eyes with her
hand, while the tether watched her
anxiously

begged. "Weil not starve, though It
will be a struggle for a while “
"Father." she said calmly. "I am
not taking It hard: I was only won
dering how much we could serspe to

I'm ashamed to admit It. but aa far as

It's a blow for you. but don't worry

Then when 1 had to take mother's
place, my hands were too full. All 1

party at Barham's tonight, hut I'd
rather stay here aad talk things over

"Pollle girl, you have no Idea bow

Mr. Mercer huskily. "I know you'd
rather not. but by all means go to
your party. It's most Important that
the true state of affaire le not aos

spend the evening across the street
slth Judge Rimma. When your moth
er was alive, the Judge and his wife
and she and I never failed to cele
brate Christmas eve together, and
they'd be hurt If I etayed away."
Paula kissed him absently and ran
upstairs to dress. Rhe was far from
underestimating the disaster, aad the
suddenness of It startled her.
"It's one thing to talk about oarm
log your living and another thing to
do It." aha told herself. "You are a
success so far because you are your
tether's daughter. It'll mean hard
work. 8(111. work overcomes heart
aches and teacbee one to forget!*'
She brushed the powder-puff across
her nose, and descended. At the door
of the library stood Mr. Mercer.
"I forgot to tell you. Paula, that T
round It necessary to put Dr Grant
!u possession of the tecta.'*
Paula turned away at mention of
(he young physician, and started tow
ards the door.
"Good night, dearie —have a jolly
time!" called her father.
Paula swept Into the welting auto
mobile and settling down for tbs long
drive Into the suburbs, rapidly evolved
numerous plans, meanwhile noting the
Christmas gayety on all sides. The
air rang with the excited chatter of
children returning from belated shop
ping or alght-seeiog tours, and min
gled with their merry voices were the
subdued conversations of their elders.
The sparkling snow, slelghbells.
bright lights and holiday decorations
struck a sympathetic note In her
heart. The huge motor purred softly,
sad as Faula reached up to arrange
(he rich red ribbons which held holly
wreaths against tha glass doors and
windows, her conscience smote her
because of her real gladness.
'Tin forgetting what It means to
boor father." the soliloquised. "It's
ao fun for a mao of hit age to start
sll over again."
A quick atop threw her on the floor,
end by the time ehe had regained her
feet and Jumped out to Investigate.
Ihs chsufteur was lifting a prostrate,
body from beneath the wheels. An I
ewsd crowd gathered swiftly. The!
chauffeur was exonerated from blame. I
is several men had seen the little
sewaboy run In front of the automo-1

street.
"That's Tim Brown he Uvea In!

volunteered another white-faced
newsy, stopping to pink np tha neat-1

'Til taka him home." announced 1
Paula brands. i
The sea of hard, strange faces un
nerved bar. and she felt sick and nau
seated, but she quietly held out her
arms for the poor ohild who lay groan
ing In tha chauffeur s gentle grasp.
A tall youug man stepped briskly
through the crowd, aad wade his way
to her side.
"Oh. Doctor Grant—l’m ao glad
you're hare!" exclaimed Pauls Im
pulsively.
"More terrified thau Injured." an
nounced the doctor after a hurried ex
amination. Then turning to Paula. “I

Assisting Faula luto the motor, b*
mads the child comfortable ou her lap
and slapped in with her.
‘Til report to you later. Peters." tie
called to the policeman, who Imtnodi
ately permitted them to drive away.
la a faw minutes they were at the
stricken home. A tired, resigned wo
man opened the door, and after the
doctor's tactful explanation, ehe mute
ly accepted this last blow which un
kind fete had seon fit to administer.
While Doctor Grant and the mother
worn working over th* boy. Paula's
qaiok eyes took In every detail of tho
bare home. Christmas for the many
little Browns promised to be scanty.
A kind neighbor had taken the other
children to her home, so Paula's pres
ence was unnecessary. She slipped
out of tbs house, gave tho chauffeur a
few Instructions and as he drove off
rapidly, ahe sought a nearby telephone
booth and after ten very satisfactory
minutes, was hack at the house Her
•phone calls were to certain toy deal
ers and caterers, and long before the
doctor was ruady to go. the chauffeur
had shyly drugend baskets and bun
dles of all sires and shapes Into the
we« kitchen
At last Dr. Orant waa ready lo
leave.
"May I ask for a lift. Paular* hs

to let you go so ter out of your way
whsn you are going to the Barhams."
"No. I'm going home. I've had
tnough for one night." anewsred Paula
with averted face.
Now that she remembered her own j
trouble, she felt a strange shyness j
with this man who was In the secret j
of their financial wreck. The silence
became awkward—eomehow there :
seemed nothing to say.
"Paula." began the doctor abruptly, j
•'I have heard of your misfortune, and |
now I feel free to ask you to be my
wife. I reullse—(dense don’t Interrupt
until I have finished —I realise thar
you will taks steps to support your
self at once, but I need you too much
to allow that."
Paula's heart leaped violently, but
tho elation wad brief. The sweetness
speedily turned to bitterest misery
“Why does this occur to you to
night of all nights? It would seem an
If you were doing this out of char

"No. Paula, out of esteem. I am
poor, but I have enough for two. You
certainly understand why I have not
spoken before: —a Paula Mercer could
hardly be expected to share a young
physician's precarious Income."
He appropriated her reluctant hand
"And so you allowed your pride to '

for the honor. Dr. Grant, but I have |

"Paula." pleaded the young man
miserably, "if you only knew the bat

"If I were you I’d engage a com pc .
