Isn't it your self that is a good enough friend to him ter make up for all the rest? WThat more does he want than what you have, planned? Nothing but a tree, and may be we can fix him up with one; who knows?” “I could git a tree, but there’d be nothin’ to put on it,” said Patsey. “Never mind, Patsey,” replied Mrs. Brown mysteriously; “yon find the tree, and I will see what wo can find to put on it.” She was thinking of a pair of bright red mittens she wa3 herself knitting for the express purpose of keeping Pete's hands warm when he went out. And visions of scalloped cakes she meant to liave baked for the little chap and the bag of candy she had made up her mind to buy him passed before her, only now she seemed to see them on a tree in stead of being laid under his pillow, as she had intended. “Hooray fur ye, Mrs. Brown,” shouted Patsey. “Yer a brick, an’ no mean rough one either, but a nice, smooth Filadelfy brick, what they uses to build fine houses with, that’s what ye are! I'll find a tree; trust me for that.” And the delighted boy when to his bed, di- watch and chain, bought on the street swung from the tip end of a third branch, and altogetbc-r the small tree was a startling sight, or would be to some chil dren used to the graceful, wax candle trimmed ones of grand parlors. When the little fellow woko early Christmas morning he made a dive for the knobby stocking which hung by his bed. Then there was a cry of delight as he held it up in true orthodox fashion by the toe, and the peanuts tumbled out over the oranges and the candy over the peanuts. “Oh! oh! Patsey, is they all fur me? be called out. This waked somo of the other boys, and they, with Patsey, rolled out of bed and began to dress, because papers must be sold Christmas morning as well as any other timo. “Course they is, Pete,” answered Pat sey. “Ain't that yer stockin’, an' didn't ye hang it up to see what ud be in it in the mornin'? Go Tong wid ye now; I don’t want none o’ yer goodies,’ as Pete held ont a handful. Then the delighted little fellow began to offer the other boy3 some, and this 60 touched them that they vented their feelings by various characteristic re- marks: “Pitch inter 'em yerself, Pete.” “You're a goose to give away what was give to you.” “I don’t eat candy before breakfus. ’cause it don’t agree with me constitoo- shun.” “You’re a jolly chap, Pete, that's what you are/1 , fur Pete an’ his stackin, •Jiey were given with against thardtes make a noise in MLU*, out ev« one overlooks such demonstrations M Christmas, and so did Mrs. Brown.

Both lxiys were wild with every word, for a child's utterance in delight, but as it was nearly noon when singing is always very distinct, and the the tree was biire, they begged a place voice that sung to them was so soft and to put the treasures in, and started out, musical that it seemed to float all arcund Pete with his red mittens on proud hands, to the “restyurant.” the room. This is what they heard: “Patsey, do you know where the city Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

In the city of Davlil, “Didn't ye hear 'bout it las’ night, In the city of David, A Saviour, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Patsey, when the angel were singin'?" There were other features—humorous, “That were a girl, Pete; but she did beautiful and bright, but none took such look like a angel, sure ’nciigh. I don't hold on little Pete as this. He dreamed remember the city of David, though.” Pete trudged on with a sigh. He was used to having bis questions remain un answered. After a g<xxl dinner the boys started hfii'k to the home, but as they neared the piacn group of Patsey's chums came up and asked him to join them in some fun they had planned. The home was a block or so away, and Pete said he could go the rest of the way alone, so Patsey left him and went with the boys. The little fellow trotted on, looking so happy in spite of his worn clothes aud cheap, clumsy shoes that many whom he met smiled at him. A fragment of that beautiful song again sounded in his ear?, The city of David! He would find it himself, Pete thought, and though it was but a step further to the home be turned and went up another street, resolved to ask a po liceman. None appeared, and he walked THE CHRISTMAS TREE. on and on. thinking that perhaps the city he sought was next to his own qty, of the golden haired singer that night. 1 when other little ones were having ' “vis- and if he could only get outside of that ions of sugar plums.” and Santa Claus, great [dace he could find what he sought. and a big dinner.
