Wo returned to onrrplny, wlshlng'to

No one spoke of our secret, but the
suppressed excitement In the nlr made

feared for the little ones too.
In the morning the little onen came

wero very, very good nnajaevor spoko
of them again he would bring them
back on Chrlstmnu eve. Satisfied, they
began to play In tho usual way. Wo
played, too, hoping to forget, but could
not. When the little ones took their nft
cmoon nap, wo started for the garret
to tako one peep, but wero bidden to
stay downstairs. Wo longed for n sight
of our treasures. Ono glimpse would
mnko us happy, wo felt suro, but wo
could not get It nud hung nbout, uneasy
and hard to please. Wc asked ques
tions nbout Santa Claus nnd what ho
would bring, hoping to learn which
toys would bo our own. but wo went
nnswerea evasively nnh told to wait
until Christmas. When night came,
mother sent us early to bed, Judging
from our notion wo were sick. We tried
to bleep, but could not, thoughts of tho
treasures over our bends kceplug us
nwake. Wo got together nnd wills
pered, longing for n sight of tho new
toys, nnd, knowing thnt nil were safely
asleep, quietly too'; tio night cnudlo
and crawled up Hie garret stairs to the
cupboard, Again the sight 111 led us
with longing. Again the dnrlug pirate,
aloft In hlu cbnir ship, took down one
nfter tho other, nud In the delight of
their possession wq lost 'ourselves nnd
played and played until tho crowing
of tho cock warned us to our beds.
Next morning wo slept long, and
mother iigaln feared somo sickness.
Wo could not cat breakfast; wo wero
foverlsh and excited. We Jumped at
any unusual noise. Wo had no hca,rt
to play nud were glad when again sho
scut us early to bed. .,
Itach night we played In tho garret
nnd ench day longed for nlght'to come,
yet dreading to be tound out. Ono day
when a neighbor commented on tho

and generally loit to tho llttlo ones.
JJach day we looked more mlsernble
anil becamo paler and thinner and less
Inclined to eat. Tenrs came easily to
our eyes, nnd In those times llfo was
full of misery.
On Christmas eve wc were silent
nud llHtlesH. We tried hard to bo lively,
and full of expectation for the coming"
day, but did not deceive mother, wbo
rent us early to bed, giving us an extra
strong dose of tho bitter medicine. We

how we felt. She mado us dress, fear
ful of cold and wondered that wo did
not beg to go down In our gowns and

Wo entered the pnrlor. There nbout
tho tree lay the toys, ours at last,
but no longer desired by uh. It was nn

ment on her face, mother tried to mnko
us sco their beauties. Onco moro wo
tried to be happy, once more wo made
an effort to overcount tho Influence of
our misdeeds. Then n keener realiza
tion of our sins en mo over us. Somo

plended, begging to know whnt was
wrong, but wo could uot tell; we could
not break her heart with our wicked

to look nt tho gifts which Santa Clnus
bad brought, but the tears camo faster

Mother understood. Tho tears stream

lu her firms. Father snld nothing, but,
crossing tho room, looked out of tho
window. Wc sobbed nnd sobbed until
wo could Bob no longer. Then wo dried
our tenrs, and mother put nwny the
toys, for we did not want them. Wo
resumed our pirate llfo with meek nnd
chastened spirit, 111 befitting tho fero
cious deeds we did, for tho pirates had
learned a lesson. Never again would
they capture a enrgo stored by Santa

TQW'Sf BEAUTIFYING
VALUE OF OHADE TREES TO A COMMUNITY.
Tim rtcmornl of III I.noklnar Tencc
Urcntly Imurovrn tho Appearance
of a Toitii flomo Itemark Aliont
Street MKlitlnff.
Without trees no town can bo beauti
ful. In summer their shade Is refresh
, Ing, whllo tho dreariness of winter la
rendered leys dcsolnto by their pres
ence. And trees have a direct vnltio
I too. A tree shaded avenue lit n much
more dcslrablo place of residence than
one which lacks tho adornment
Property Is moro valuable on thlu
street, aud landlords demand nnd re
ceive u higher rate of rent Tho houses
aro moro pretentious, tho lawns nro
green nnd smoothly shnven, nud beds
of ilowers and bunches of shrubbery
bear witness to tho friendly rivalry
among tho dwellers to excel In tho
beautiful. A comparatively small out
lay will do much to beautify n town.
Onco planted and properly guarded
from destruction, trees require llttlo
care nnd In a few years will limply rec
ompense for trouble and money ex
p tided.
Tho custom of maintaining III looking
fencea in front of residences Is a fool
Mi one. ItemovG them and note what
n difference. Tho street has a much
broader appearance, the bouses appear
to have more room, and, whnt Is worth
considering, tin Item Is taken from tho
cx;m.!im's of the householders. Laws
arc not necefMiry to do nwny with tho
f nets. Once the movement Is stnrtcd,
they will qulfkly disappear. The pen
tilths provided lu the town ordinance
for stray nnlmnls is amply Hulllclcnt to
protect lawn nnd shrubbery from their
deprivation.
Of course, In certain localities fences
have their ufces and are well nigh In
dispensable. I'or Instance, on tho
farm they nre necessary to keep
hones, cows, pigs nud other stock
from (iitcting tho Ileitis which the
husbandman has planted with grain
ami vegetables or to exclude them
from prematurely enjoying tbo hnrvest
of grass lu meadow nud upland which
Is destined for their winter sustenance.
No such conditions prevail In the town,
however, nnd lu tho Intcrcst-of beauty
the fences thouM be relegated to the
domain to which they belong.
There is no use or reason for n fence
in the streets of a town. In days of
yore, when cowb nnd pigs wandered at
will through the highways and by
wnys, they were necessary only be
cau.c the ordinances respecting cattle
in tho town were not enforced. But
times have changed and people no
longer tolerate the mnn wbo permits
his domestic animals to gain n liveli
hood at tho expense of his neighbors'
lawns nnd gardens.
A subject of great Importance to the
people of a community Is the lighting
of streets nt night The benefits arc
many nud far outweigh any questlou
of cost or economy. How many Occi
dents that have caused loss of life und
limb are due to InsufflclcnUy lighted
or wholly dnrk streets! How many
Crimea have been committed under
cover of darkness thnt would never
have been perpetrated bad there been
light to reveal the robber or assassin
to his Intended victim! The develop
ment of electricity has made It possi
ble to light our streets nt night nt a
small expense. No costly plant Is re
quired nnd the outlay for labor to put
up the wires Is nominal.
The personal snfety nnd convenience
of every citizen demand that tho
Etrccts shall bo so Illuminated that ho
may leave his home after dark with
out danger of breaking his limbs or
having his bend smashed by somo en
terprlalng footpnd.
GOOD ARCHITECTURE.
TXic rntnro Erection of Pablla rtallil
Inics nnd Itcalilcncea.
A town cannot bo rebuilt, but Is It
not posslblo to foster such an Intelli
gent Interest In good architecture that
every now puntlc edtnee, factory, storo
or dwelling erected In tbo futuro shall
be as good ns can bo built for the
money?
It cannot bo too strenuously Insisted
now thnt beauty Is uot a matter of dol
lars nnd cents, but of mental quality,

which Juliet must climb by a ladder
nnd other shams and absurdities of tho
romantic minded architect Nor does
tho business block requite elaborate
ornamentation to bo beautiful If only
its proportions nro good, its color rich
and its windows well set
Whnt Is dono caunot nt onco bo un
done, but if tho future Is looked out
for tho town will gradually grow Into
u new beauty, and whenever ono of
tho old buildings yields to the en
croachments of time Its placo will bo
taken by another more worthy of tho
twentieth century.
