"Geo! Old Worms Is sending mo some

ho soliloquized, milking n run for tho

the mountain holly on the walls and
built n cheerful big lire In the lire
plnco In tho studio when the door burst
open, letting In n dash of snow, lu the
midst of which stood a slender youth
In n furry overcoat and cap, with huge
goggles over his eyes.
"Well, can't you come In and shut

with n start of recognition, "Claude

ing I bo action to tho word, bo gavo
vent to n prolonged whistle.
Tho artist grew red nnd whlto by
turns as ho recognized tho boy. It
was tho alxteen-yeor-old brother of
Aldyco!
"Hal Haunters!" be cried. "Where
did you drop from)"
"Prom the snow clouds," answered
tho youth, bugging the surprised urtlst.
"This Is some luck, all right. Ilndltig
shelter, and Just think of Its being your
mountain retreat. Aldyco Is out there
In the car. Tho machine broko down
Just below your cabin."
"Aldyce in tho car out in this storm!"
cried Claude, buttoning up bis coat nnd
rushing to tho door.
"Yes. Wo were on our way to I ra
zler'o, up Rear canyon," nal shouted
hta explanation as be clung to bis com
panion's arm through tho snowy gale.
"Tho Fraelers are giving an old fash
ioned Christmas evo party nt their
ranch houso. You know Aldyco nnd
Doll Fraeler were great pals at school,
so Aldyco was bound to go to tho par
ty. I waH sure I knew tho road there,
but this boow came on bo suddenly I
was n little confused where tho roads
fork. Aldyco Insisted this was tho right
way, so wo came up tho wrong can-
yon."
Tho artist paid scant heed to young
Bannler'a explanation. As they sturdily
breasted tho keen, snow burdened wind
toward tbe crippled car he was think.
Ing what a strnngo prank fato hod
Played on him. Ho hod wanted to bury
himself In his mountain cabin, sixty
flvo miles nwny from Aldyce, and hero
sho wns, snowbound nt his door.
Tho wrecked nutomobllo In tho snow
tempest looked llko a red rock half
burled In raging wbltecaps near n
stormy shore. In tbo back seat sat a
girl veiled nnd clad In rich furs.
"Aldyce!" exclaimed Claudo, opening
tho door wldo enough to admit bis
bQ"Vo nro uninvited guests," laughod
tho girl, giving hlui one of her small
gloved bands. The girl was the more
rational of tin! twp, tbo young artist
being too confused to offer tfio cus
tomary courtesies of host.
"Come, Clnude, why don't you nslc us
In? I'm getting cold," sho reminded
him. "Perhaps you wnnt mo to freeze
stiff and stark out hero so you can hnvo

titled 'Frozen In it Motorcar,'" sho
laughed lightly.

Tho next second be was hurrying ber
away to tbe cabin.
"Help, help!" sho caiica in raocic ter
ror. "Hal, bring tuo sun coses, une
mountain brigand Is enrrylug off your
fclster."
ninuilo Extrum deposited his guest In
a great easy chair In front of tbo blaz
ing pluo log on tbo tlreploco. Then ho
helped her remove her wraps. Present
ly sho sat back qulto nt her ease, her
handsomely shod feet on nn Improvised
footstool, while her face glowed lu tho
dancing llrellgbt.
"What are you cooking, Claude, that
smells so tarnation good?" demanded
Hal. sullllug robustly as bo found n
plnco for tho suit coses lu an unoccu
pled corner of tho studio.
"Not u Christmas turkey, you young
gastronomer," answered Claude, his
soniberness leaving blm under the
merry mood of his two unexpected
guests. "It's beans-pure, unadulter
ated beans." hondded. with a tragic nlr.
This Is n regular beau soup even
ing," observed Aldyce. "I'm sure I
shall enjoy It."
I wnnt tbo largest bowl In your
china collection." ordered Hal, assist
ing tho artist to sift flour for tbo bis
cuits. "Nnturo lias etuUnved mo with
a big sized attachment for benn soup."
"The pot Is full," eald Claude, lifting
tho lid to glvo the boy n peep, "but If
you ndvUo nu extension wo might
bring the wash boiler Into service."
It was n merry meal to w Ulch they
sat down as tbo early dusk of Christ
miis evo began to creep into tho rustic
studio. Hal declared the' bean soup
was nectar, nnd Aldyco herself pluned
.. i.. ainnvna nnd made delicious cof-
fee,. Put tbo. reacUoacamo ta Claude
at tho close of tTio feast. Ho suddenly
pushed back his chair from tbo tablet
and snt moodily staring Into tbo crum
bling embers on the hearth.
Aldyco regarded tho young man's
clouded countenauco for n short time
lu silence, u mysterious twlnklo In her
dnrk eyes. Then sho nroso uud wnlked
over to the window.
"Hnl," sho cnlled to her brothor,
who showed symptoms of dozing In his
chnlr, "tho enow tins nlmost stopped.
I wnut you to go out nnd sco If the
enr Is still properly covered."
With a yawn tho young fellow obey
ed, whistling merrily ns ho trudged
down tbo cauyou.
Quickly Aldyco opened ber milt enso,
took out n long euvelopo nnd laid It
before tbo nrtlst.
"A Chrlstmns gift for you," sho snld
simply, the mysterious sinllo now lurk
ing ut tho comers of her mouth. "Open
It, Clnude."
Ho obeyed nnd n crisp check for
$3,000 dropped Into his hand. Then he
rend tho nccompnnylng noto:

LAWUKNCK.
"Aldyce, how dfd you learn I was
horoV ho nsked, moving toward her.
"Lawronco told me. I was lu the
studio when Mr. Stevens bought your
picture on exhibition there. Ho was
so hnppy for you bo let out your so
cret that you wero coming hero to bury
yourself for tbo holidays," Hho replied.
"Then I plnuued"
She hesitated, blushed, looking ni
hlui with laughing eyes,
"Doll Krnzler'a party," ho finished
boldly.
"How daro you Instnuato that I fab
ricated that as nn excuse to bring you
tho good uows of your fortune?" sho
tuuuted him, assuming a touo of In
jury. Ho sprnug townrd her. With n llttlo
cry of felgued fright she eluded blm,
but stopped uuder the hnuglng lamp,
where n daugllng spray of mistletoe
touched her hair. Then bo kissed her.

Tissue paper, excelsior or finely cut
paper will provo the best material to

THE" DOLL DOCTOR.
He's Almost as Busy at Dear Old
Santa Claus.
Doha have ever so many things hap
pen to them. Sometimes llttlo brothers
break off their heads and sometimes
their "mothers" lot tbein fall nnd
break an arm. a leg or u nose. Then
their hair comes off, and n bnldhended
dollle certnlnly Is not benutlful. Alto
gether dolls hovo more accidents and
discuses than really truly people.
And that Is where tho doll doctor
comes In. Did you never hear of the
doll doctor? Well, ho is n very nice
man who fixes up nil tbo broken dollies
and nuilies them as good as new
If you should over visit tho doll doc
tor you would find blm with all sorts
of battered, mnlmed nnd dNnblod dolli
around blm. i-omo with eyes gouged
out. some with legs or arms gone, some
with broken lingers nnd cithers with
onlv naliit scratched from their faces.

busy as santa umu.
