Dicky's New Year
How He Caae to Attend the
tirowi Folks' Party.
DICKY sprawled ungracefully on
the floor, and at times be be
stowed a sly and naughty kick
upon the unresisting legs of a
chair that stood near blm. Ula first
Impulse was to feel sorry for doing
tbls, his second to look around and see
if any one had noticed this little out
burst of temper.
It may be that the Christmas festivi
ties of a few days before bsd been
too mucb for him; but, whatever it waa,
Dicky was certainly cross and Inclined
to weep easily.
However, neither bla mother nor his
Aunt Gertrude noticed bow be kicked
tbe chair nor the way be scowled upon
the world In general from under bis
tawny curls. They were absorbed In
tbelr preparations for entertaining tbe
guests of tbnt evening, and for once
Dicky was forgotten.
"If 1 was going to have a party and
4nvlte all tbe people In tbe world I'd
invite my own little boy, Dicky, too.
I wouldn't leave blm out," quotb Dicky
out of tbe silence.
"What's that?" asked bis mother
carelessly, absorbed In her own
thoughts. "No. no. Dicky; this la a par
ty for mother's and father's friends.
You wouldn't enjoy It"
"Ob, but I do want to come." persist
ed Dicky. "I've beard you all talking
about it, and I want to see tbe new
yesr come In the window."
"What Is tbe cblld talking abootf
asked his aunt
"Tbe new year, it's coming In tbe
window, and 1 beard mother tell bow
you were all going to open It to wel
come It In." replied Dicky, eomewbat
Impatient at his aunt for not under
standing so obvious a meaning.
"Nothing will come In at the win
dow, dear," said bis mother gently.
"It's Just s pretty custom. There will
not be anything for you to see. and
you will be mucb happier npstalrs in
your nice warm bed."
Dicky wept a little at tbe time, and
when tbe hour came for bed under tbe
stern eye of bis father be rebelllously
consented to be tucked In by bis nurse,
although not without further remon
strances. rinding them of no avail, be
sobbed bis woes Into his pillow, while
his father and mother went below to
receive tbelr guests.
By making a brave resistance to the
drowsiness tbnt was steeling upon blm
Dicky managed to keep awake until
the party bad assembled in the parlor
below. Then be crept out of bed and
bung over tbe banisters, eagerly trying
to catch sight of tbe brilliant people In j
tbe gathering. A man passed along
tbe hall. Dicky thought It might be
bis father and scampered back to lied
again as fast as bis little bare feet
would carry blm. And then without
more ado he soon fell asleep, "tbe
world forgetting, by (be world forgot."
Downstairs tbe hours passed merrily,
and tbe old year drew to a happy
close. First there were only fifteen
mlnntes of It left; then there were only
ten. Finally tbe old year bad but Ave
short periods, counting sixty seconds
each, to live. Tbe men sad women
gathered together showed nothing of
the solemnity that underlies tbe mer
riment of all sncb gatherings. Four
minutes, three minutes, two minutes—
ab! They turned from tbe windows
In surprise to see Dicky standing In
tbe doorwey.
He was not dreesed for tbe party,
and bis little nightgown sfforded scant
protection against the drafts of tbe
lower room. He was not expected at
tbe party, either, and tbe expression
on bis father's face suggested that be
was not even welcome there. These
considerations might have disturbed
an adult guest, but tbey mattered little
to Dk-ky.
He did not look or speek to any one
Ordinarily bis fstber*s sternness woald
hare sent blm wltb s headlong rush to
tbe protection of bis mother's arms.
Turning neither to tbe rigbt nor to tbe
left, be went to tbe window, end. si- |
(bough bis eyes were closed, bis little i
hands unlocked tbe cstcb tbst fsstened I
It end opened the great casements I
without s mistake or hesitation.
His mother, choking beck s cry. took !
a furred wrap and wenl to cover blm. (
His father looked, half In fright, st his
brother, who was standing near.
"Be careful not to wake him sudden
ly." ssid Dr. Tom. "lie's walking In
bis sleep T
He raised the child gently in bis ansa
and held blm In tbe full blase of tbe
greet 'hnn!ellrr. hot Dicky's closed
eyelids never quivered ss tbe llgbt
struck sgainst I lu-m.
When IM* opened his eyas be was
amased to find himself at tbe party
after all. surrounded hy men slid wo
men. wis, all ssid clieerfully. "A hap
py New Year to you, Dicky, dear!"
He was too drowsy to lie frightened,
but ss bis fstber carried bin back to
bed the child heard tbe great bells of
tbe city 'ailing out to blm:
"A hsppy New Tear, Dicky, dear,
sad many of them!"
