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."
