"If brother Jim likes it, let him do It," be.had told-the family defiantly, "I'm going to some big city where a fellow has some chance to see life and make his for tune. I'm through with haying all day long In the scorching sun, milking cows and feeding hogs, and then hav ing to sit In the dark on the porch listening to nothing but frogs and katydids nntil yon have to go to bed 11 you want to get up In time to do It all over again next day. I'm through, I tell you 1" The family had tried to reason with Dan, but it was of no use. One morn ing they found him gone, leaving only the briefest note of good-by to his mother. And now the third Christmas since his going had come and the fam ily itself was going in to the big city to spend holidays with Julia, who had married and lived there. Ordinarily Julia and her husband, with little Bobble, came out to the farm visiting the old folks and brother Jim at Christmas, but this year Julia ha'd a new baby, scarce (our months old, and hadn't felt equal to the trip. So father and sweet-faced mother Morris—their hair already white and with the years' anxiety for their missing Dan reflected In wrin kled faces—packed tip all sorts of home-made eatables In baskets and bad sun-burned brother Jim take them for the first time to the big city. It was a bewildering adventure to those simple souls; each incident of the Journey and novel sight after ar rival was a never-to-be forgotten ex perience. Fred, Julia's brisk and hearty husband, welcomed them at the station and thrilled them with a ride out to their daughter's apart ment on tbe elevated railway. It was a Joyous reunion, but—as mother aald, with a sudden break in her voice— "it can't be as If my baby, our Dan, here with us too." "There, there, mother," aald father Morris, patting her quivering shoulder consolingly. "You mustn't think about Dan Just now. He'll return to Ss some day when he's become rich and fa mous..

You've got one parcel here marked wrong 1 It has Dan's name on It I" Mother Morris dabbed at her eyes with her handkerchief. "Please, don't laugh at me, chil dren," she said sadly, "It's my Dan's Christmas as much as it is that for any the rest of us, and I I wus hoping that maybe we'd find him here In the city now that we've come here ourselves." It was pathetically absurb, that barren little hope of tbe bereaved old mother, but none of them even let her see them smile at it. The afternoon before Christmas Julia persuaded, her husband to take little Bobble downtown so thai he could not surprise her trimming ihs tree. Brother Jim and the -old folks went along. Little Bobble naturally was most of all Interested in the toy depart ments and hardly could be made leave hold some of the playthings he most fancied. "Oh see, daddlel A horsle that rocks, with a mane and bridle and everything 1.... And oh, grandma! lookltl lookltl There's a real live Santa Claus talking to those other little boys and girls I" It waa Indeed. The big store had hired a rather shabby-looking young man that week, who for sls was sup posed to sit at the door of an Imita tion snow house and solemnly enconr age visiting youngsters to tell him their fondest wants in the line ot pres ents. Little Bobble was Impatiently waiting In line, holding fast with one chubby fist to his fattier*! hand, In no time. Mother and father Morris, and big brother Jim watched ami waited smilingly for them on the edge of the crowd. "Well, my little man, what Is your name?" asked the scarlet-coated and long whlte-whlskercd Snnta Claus In a tired, husky voice when Bobbie's turn finally came. "rjm Bobble Wallace, dear Mr. Santa Claus, and I live at fiOOl Byrne street," the boy chirruped at him, round-eyed and devoutly believing In the identity of Santa. "My mamma's name Is Julia Wallace and I've got a little baby slater no?v, too." The .long-whiskered Santa patted his head In perfunctory weariness. "And what do you most want me to ■ put In your stocking Ibis, Christmas : five. Bobble'/" he asked with a slde ! long glance at the tolerantly smiling i father. "We—ell," drawled Bobble uncer tainly, "there are lots and lota of things I want awful, awful much.

With a choking cry the white whiskered one stumbled to his FSot, nearly upsetting his little snow house and searching Bobble's wonder-round ed eyes in hungry disbelief.
