THE CHEERFUL
WAX CANDLE.
By ALICE LE BARON. I
Copyright, 1909, by American Preai Asso
ciation. j
NCE upon a time two little can-
dies lay side by side In a big
box. Both were pure white.
Said one: "1 wonder what
will become of us.' Do you think we
could be ruenut for a Christmas tree?"
For you must know that to be put on
a Christmas tree is the best possible
thing that can happen to a candle.
"Of course not," said the other, who
was cross. "If we are meant for a
ChrlBtmas tree it will be for some
shabby little children-see If it isn't."
"Jf we are," suld the first, "I'll shine
my very brightest, for the eyes of even
poor children with only few pleasures
In prospect are enough to rival little
caudles on Christmas eve."
''If we are." grumbled the second,
am not sure that I wilt allow myself
to be lighted at all."
Christmas eve drew nearer and near
er. Sure enough, the two little can
dles, with many others of blue and
pluk nnd yellow and red, were bought
for a Christmas tree.
On the day before Christmas, while
It still was daylight, some young girls
came to arrange the presents and make
the tree ready for the evening.
"Ob, what a lot of pretty little can
dles!" said oue of them. "They are
such lovely colors all except those
two white ones. We will put those
out of sight, because the red and plak
ones are prettier."
"Didn't I tell you what would hap
pen?" said the cross little candle lu a
whisper.
"Yes, but wait" replied the other.
"Just shine your brightest all the
time."
"I won't," snapped the cross one.
When evening came, ranged all
round the tree were happy boys and

girls. Soon every bough on tbe great
tree blossomed with little lights. Some
of tbe flumes were falut, but mauy
were bright When tbe little white
caudles were lighted the cross one
Just sputtered a minute and then
went out The other shoue so brightly
that a gentleman standing near said:
"Oh, what a brilliant candle! But
Is almost out of sight among the green
branches. We ought to put it where
It can be seen better."
"Put .It on the very tiptop," said a
little lady.
And that Is where they did put It
on tbe very tiptop of tbe tree, where
It nodded and gleamed In answer to
the smiling faces around It
