An ’Unasked'for
Gift
By MARY GRAHAM BONNBR
HERE was once a very, very
old rag doll who lived in
a iiursery. She was so old
that she had seen all the
children grow up—the boy
who wore trousers now.
the girl wiio had her hair
dune in braids, the middle-
sized child who had so
often left the rag doll out in the gar
den at night. There was only the baby
left—bless his pinli toes!
But the rag doll was very, very oUl,
and one beautiful Christmas time she
begun to show her age.
Her hair had been combed so much
that it -liad come out dreudfully, an(i
her nose, from a great deal of kissing,
was entirely gone. Her pretty pinU
cheeks had i)een washed away wlien
the boy tried to teach her to swim In
tiie hath tub, and
all her clothes
were very untidy
indeed.
The baby never
noticc<l all these

toys did; they all
made the most un
kind reniniks to
the rag doll the
(lay before Christ
mas.
“Look at your
dirty face,” said
the large I'rench
(ioll. “You'll be
’ ut in the attic to
night. T hat’ s
where tue oM dolls go." “Look at your j
'iress,” said the .iuniping jack. "It is i
h!1 torn. I wouldn't walk across tlie |
nursery floor with you.” i
“I H<1 you ever si“> such Ihin hair?” j

She was nerv

culls to nuike and no shopping to do
('xcei)t to the coiner store.
She tiidn’t care about going to a
smart hotel for tea in the uflernoon.
*Nou- and again she liked to have a
“l.'lte” in a pastry shop.
Louis was a nnisiclan. He was one
oi' the most popular of dance conduc-
t(»rs. Me made money from royalties
on his popular st>ngs—a great deal of
uior.ey. She had been often told that

"The L'reneh doll tr.ust go up to the 1 Louis hadn':

“There is a more beautiful new be.st

“Why, the jack-in-the-box lias for
gotten how to jimip."
You >e<- the jat k-In-the-box had l»ee-.i
r.o excited about the rag doll’s dress
that he had broken his spring.
"The jack-in-the-liox must go up to
:he attic, ioo,” said the rhristnuis An
gel.
Th.en she went over to the hobhy-
l.orse.
"Poor, old hobby-horse I” .«he said.
•Your leg is very btsdly broken. I will
‘ake y*iu up to the attic until you
•an be mended.”
“There." tlie Christmas Angel said
at hist, “the nursery is all tidy, and
ready for new toys—but, d(‘ar me.
what's this? Why, it is the little rag
doll
“Oil, please, do 1 have to go to the ;
attic, too?" said the rag doll, “it’s '
very cold there, and I know the best |
doll will have tlu; chn'iney corner for j
liersolf—and 1 don't want the mice to
gnav.- niy toes |
“Why, j'ou dear old thing!” said the '
Christmas Angel. “You're the same !
rag doll that I used to play with when 1
I was little. You go to the attic? Why, j
1 just guess not! We couldn’t get along ,
without you in the nursery. You do
need a little mending, but 1 am going
to se\v you, and then' you shall sit on
the very tiptop or the Christmas tree.”
The Christmas Angel lighted one of
the (’hristnui.^ candles so that she
. !inid see to sew. Then she took the
rag doll in her lap and opened her
.vorkbag and set to worl^.

She was .-ibout to tell him how op

sides with plenty of cotton so she
could sit uji. Then she sewed her toes
and put new little
white stockings
and black shoes
on iier feet. She
took a piece of

and covered tl'.e
rag doll's dirty

they had almost suffocated her. liow
much happier she would be to have
to .save money, rather than try to
spend it for Louis’ sake, to make him
feei she enjoyed it.
“Wifey,” he said finally, “they want
me to tour Europe. It’s a great chance.
There’s big money in it, and the boy.s
all want to go with me. Do you sup
pose, wifey, I know you’re awful sen-
.sick, and a poor traveler.” His
face looked v.’orried. “But do you

me so 'much—iind they know 1

that they’re going to pay your ex

She gave a look at the beloved x-ed
plush furniture. Would there never
be any rest from prosperity? Her fate
was sealed.
“I guess I could stand it, Louis,”
she said bravely. But in her heart
there was hopelessness. Money. I‘3u-
