continued when order was restored.

too, would press her little nose against

been forbidden to go there because It
Was dangerous, but no one bad thought
f cautioning Baby Deb. So therv she
went and In her imperfect way bgged
hard for the guoee.
'Christmas eve came, and still t la-re
was uo goose. Baby Deb was puutb'd;
the others were gloomy. Still Baby
Deb would uot give up. It would be
low tide about 7 o'clock. She knew
that, for she bad asked. She would
make her last trial. She had hote
yei. but as the others kuew nothing
of her plans they bad absolutely no
hoe. To them It was certain that
there con Id be no Christmas goose ai
their house that year.
Seven o'clock came, and Baby Ieh
crept softly from the room and down
stairs. She opened tho great door Jusi
a little bit and slipped out Into the
darkness really did slip, for It was
very Icy on the rocks, and she sat
down very hard. However, she was
very chubby and did not mind It. She
crawled cautiously around to the big
rock, the keen wind nipping her round
cheeks and cltlug her with the frozen
drops of spray. She knelt down.
"Oh. please. diod Lord, send us a
dome! We wants a doose awful
Wou't you, please, dood Lord?"
Taud fell something right alongside
of lier.
"Oh. what's dat?" she exclaimed,
putting her hand out. "Why. It's a
doose!" she cried, with a scream of de
light, as her baud came In contact with
a soft. warm, feathery body.
She forgot to give n "thank you" for
the goose, but she was thankful, though
not so very much surprised. She really
had expected It.
It was a heavy load for Baby Deb.
but she was excited and did not no
tice it. She made her way Into the
lighthouse, and. step by step, patter,
palter, she weut upstairs and burst, all
breathless, luto the sitting room, cry
Ing exultantly "ICs tutnmed. It's turn
