And now slip hated tlipin. r IlPi Miss Heppslo Continued to Stars. r . Miss lleppsle Padgett wondered what to do. The sun ret red delilnd the nuked trees nnd east Ions purple shadows nn the snow of Christmas eve. It was too lute to got another turkey. The. irrny of pies und cukes, even tho (lressltij;, were waiting for the morrow, nnd it was the first time In the his tory of the proud old red brick house that Chi'Mmns time had been with out a turkey. The more Mis? lleppsle thought of it tho angrier she became. Then on the wide front porch she heard the commotion of ninny foot mops and, presently, tho thud of a timid knocker. Few visitors came to the I'adgotjt bouse, go. the parlor wa. tftirk und t lierny front door was bolted. Mlsa lleppsle opened It a trifle and, there, on her auotlcsa pirch, were a hnlf doren ranged children, frightened, cold, unlovely, but hit t lied in the chastening IIkIiI of the winter moon, nnd, carried ou the buck of one, ai Mltn lleppsle's ChrLMmas turkey. For a long, tense moment they looked ot each othpr, tlie woman, the children, the turkey, then, quavering ly, but with a strange uplifted pride, the biggest of the children blurted out: "Maw sent It back." Miss llepp sle continued to stare. There was nothing encouraging In the steady gaze of her n'es? but the boy went on : "Maw sent ivs out to swipe it but she (-hanged her mind. I guess. She said It wouldn't taste good nohow, on Christinas, uid we'd Just have hominy and turnips, audi apple sauce fer pud din', snme as always. She sent yer turkey buck Vau.-e. even If you didn't need It, reality, "twnsu't hers." Sudden ly the boy bijsn to cry. "Oee, It must lw grand," he sobbed, "to live In a big Hue house ICke this and have turkey Vv Clirlsmuw dinner." Then, ni If a great Joy had come to blm, he raised his Iwnd nnd smiled through bU, tears, "But we ain't goln' to steal no more. We ain't, not ever, 'cause m.iw, she said we wuzit't." The ntionl!ght that fell on his earnest face em.-'Vd tl' lines of hardness and left onJy a Ijnhy purity. I'nhles, surely, almost sill ef them were, huddled there together, strangely timid yet strangely Ktrong In the humbleness of their con fession. Across the nlalit a song rang oitt, rnrolers bearing Ills mes sage:. 'Tor whatsoever ye do unto one of he least of the?e " Suddenly Miss lleppsle saw her CbrlstiMis table, laden and she In self Ish solitude, , presiding nt the feast No lova had ever stirred her heart at fc CliriHttnm And then she suw her feast sj sin, with a group of happy faces- rot u:d it, Immersed in turkey and cake, mid nt the foot of the table, a mother who Raid, "We ain't goln' to steal no more." With a soft, choked cry, she opened her arms long empty, and Into their warmth she drew the tangle of huddhil. hungry, children. Across the nigtjt a song rang out, carolers tearing His mcfsage, "Cilery to God In the nightst, on earth peace, good will tovnrd men." ((c).
