He had ' listened to the story every Christmas morning as far back as be could re member; but today it seemed differ ent! "And suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of the heavenly host," continued the minister. Ted's eyes grew wide with wonder. It was more wonderful, more beauti ful than any fuiry story be had ever read. "And, lo, the star went before them, and led them to where the young ihlld lay," "And they brought him gifts, golo. and frankincense, end myrrh." Ah, those kings were rich ; they could afford to bring him gifts. He pitied the shepherds. They brought no gifts ; they muit have been poor , like him: Then he looked tip quickly: "And we, too, may bring Him gifts; the poor, as well as the aged," con cluded the minister. Ted's breath came quickly and his eyes shone with excitement. He was a little child, und he was poor, and be wanted to give the Christ Child a gift The people were trooping out of th church now, iu merry groups.

Santa Claus had paid a visit to his home for : the first time, although he had hung Ins fnded, little stocking under the mantel every Christmas eve. It was so nice to have a Christmas gift of his own; Ted thought lovingly of the new top and quickened Uis steps.

It was the strangest and most aggravating thing! Shr sl k herself free of these fan cies at'd lied up a hook. New Year's eve proiu.sed to p-;s very guietly for her. Some of the girls In the store were sitting up . . . but for some in explicable reason she had declined their friendly invitations to Join them. It would he so noisy, so tiresome and then the trip home afterwards, not to mention work next day. No, she was happier In her tiny, stuffed up room. Hooks were good company. He had said so. and she was nightly discovering the truth for herself That very day he had sauntered up to the counter where she was clerk. and bought a pair of gloves ladies' gloves. He had told her, smiling a little, that they were to be a New Year's gift. "Maybe she won t like them," he added "I hardly know just what to select." J,arcia timidly offered to help, if he could give her any general idea of the lady's taste. "Why, she's a dainty person." he smiled : gain, "not so very big, not so very small. She'd want something good, I fancy, but not too, well " he seemed to he searching for the exact qualification, "not too conspicuous or . . . strange!" That was the best he could do. and they laughed together. After careful consultation, gloves of a fine, heavy leather were bought and paid for They were gloves that any one would be hnppy to wear on the street ; there was a well-made and quiet distinction about them which produced a soft sigh of wlstfulness from Marcln. But she was entirely unconscious of It. At this point In her reflections there came a knock at her door. "Telephone, Miss Dunn," announced the landlady. There was something particularly knowing and kindly In her voice. Marcla flew downstairs. She hardly knew what she expected, but her heart was behaving so outrageously that she could hardly gasp a feeble "Hello!" Into the transmitter. "Is that you. Miss PunnT' asked a delightfully masculine voice. "Yes," quavered Marcla. "I just called up," continued the voice, "I Just called up, er " there was a break of what seemed slight embarrassment, then came strongly, "What's the use of beating about the bush? I called up to ask If I could run over to see you this evening? I'd like to persuade you to go on a mild little party with me. I tried to ask you today while I was buying those gloves, but I lost my nerve." Marcla was able to produce faint sounds which appeared to en the voice at the other end. ninine "Your landlady knows me. because 1 used to ei'ine to see a man who lived there, so she can vouch for my character.
