Katbryu was considered a very dev. r girl at boarding school and by all tier legion friends at borne. She could paint strange birds that a naturalist would have been at a loss to classify nd flowers unknown to the science of botany, do fancy sewing and marvelous mbroldery and write charming verse, though, alas, tbe editors were surprls tturiv obtuse to the latter factl Be sides which she was able to talk vol ubly in Krench and could rattle off tome lively two steps and schottlsches ca tbe plano-if she bad possessed such an Instrument But uone of these accomplishments were exchangeable for coin of the realm in tbe little country village on tbe outskirts of which they lived, and as tbey had only Tom's meager salary as a grocer's clerk to fall back on, It soon came to pass that shabby gar meats and tbe plulnest of plain fare were the order of tbe day, In their iousehold. Kathryn's Augers Itched to help her brother bear the burden f support She longed to add ber mite to tbe family Income, but as yet had tot struck ber "niche." She did not know quite enough to teach, and there was no vacancy In either of the two village dry goods stores. On this Christmas eve there was less than a dollar In the house, and be sides herself, ber ifOther and Tom, they bad received notice that seven guests would be with them for tbe Cbrlstmns holiday-distant relatives, who had standing Invitations to "come tip to our bouse for Christmas some time," and who by a coincidence bad chosen tbe same date to accept the in vitation. There was Aunt Mattle and ber twin boys, Cousin Wilbur and his oew wife, Aunt Sue and Uncle niram -quite a tableful at any time, and cer tainly an enormous crowd to be provid ed with Christmas dainties with a fund cf less than a dollar constant effort and constant failure to be of use to herself or those she loved. "Oh, Tom!" she moaned, burying her face in bis coatsleeve and trying to smother ber sobs. "I wtsb I could do somethlng-anythlng to help you.

BY AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION SHEN Bobby wrote to Santa Claus, Inviting him to call, Bob's mother said that Santa would If Bobby only would be good, Which is the way that mothers should Reply to urchins small Who write a note to Santa Claus, Expecting him to call. When Santa Claus got Bobby's note, He chuckled quite a lot; .. . . c Down at his typewriter he sat And wrote an answer, saying that He'd love to call and have a chat, He'd be there on the dot; For somehow Bobby's little note Had hit his tender spot. I know not why a typewriter Was put to such a use. To answer thus a social note Would get 'most anybody's goat. For rank, bad form it has my vote ; 'Twas socially obtuse ; But Santa is a busy man And that was his excuse. On Christmas Santa Claus dmied in, Down through the chimney flue. He told such tales of land and sea That Bobby often murmured "Gee! '' And Bobby's sister laughed in glee I'm sure that you would, too; And if you'd write to Santa Claus, Perhaps he'd call on you. "MONEY I" snn KiOLAIMKD. you know, must he endured." "Mother's a brick!" exclaimed impul sive Tom. "And I move thnt we ten der ber a vote of thanks for her little Cbrlstmns ppeech." Whereupon he Rave ber a reusing kiss and a bear hug and went out into tbe yard and down Into tbe cellnr after the Bqimsb When be came up from tbe depths of the darksome cellnr to where Kathryn stood expectantly walling, he dropped 'Imply on to nn upturned box near by and fanned himself weakly with bis old bnt. He opened his mouth twice b n vuln and apparently desperate at tempt to speak and then subsided into silence. "Tom Wronuet" demanded his Bis ter, giving him an impatient sbnke. "drop your nmisen.se and speak. Wbats be matter?" "It's-ifs gone!" gasped Tom, quite 8 tf "it" had been a diamond neck ace Instead of a warty and pleblan egetablt.
