Sadie's Cbriitma Temptation A

the big policeman, gruf

with a start and saw the
face of an officer of the
law looking down at her
from the top of his blue coat and brass
buttons. lie seemed very red and very
angry. Without a word she turned
round and started on her way down
Fifth avenue.
It was the day before Christmas and
the streets were crowded with shoppers
buying Christmas dinners and presents
for their friends and families. Some of
these ladies sat very stiffly and haugh
tily in carriages behind prancing horses,
which stepped so high that Sadie won

protruded the heads and legs of turkeys,

or dolls, or boxes of candy and other
things for Christmas Day. But Sadie
felt sadder and sadder as she gazed upon
this throDg of happy people, for she
lived alone with her mother in a tiny
room at the top of a tenement-house,
and there was to be nothing but dry
bread and tea for Christmas Day on
account of their poverty.
She seemed curiously out of place
among all these well-dressed people on
this fashionable street, and that was why
the policeman made h( r move away and
not loiter upon the pavement. Rich peo
ple who are buying presents do not like
to be reminded of the presence of the
poor. Sadie thought of her mother and
felt the tears" spring to her eyes, so that
the horses and the carriages and the peo
ple seemed to dance up and down.
Slowly she made her way down town
toward the tenement where she lived,
wishing with all her heart that she
could bring home something to her sick
mother.
A carriage was proceeding along the
street so slowly that Sadie was able to
keep abreast with it. Inside sat a beau
tiful little girl and an old lady, with a
pleasant face, and from the way in
which she smiled and nodded to the girl
from time to time Sadie felt sure that
they were related and that they were
wondering what they should buy for
Christmas Day. At length the carriage
stopped before x a large store, whose
windows were filled with a choice dis
play of goods, and the lady got outr
leaving the little girl alone in the
carriage.
"Annie, be sure and look after my
shawl," she said as she descended to the
curb. She took it from her shoulders
and placed it upon the seat of the car
riage next to the little girl ; but at that
moment Annie happened to be looking
out of the other side of the carriage at
the monkey of an organ-grinder and she
did not hear her. Just as the old lady
entered the store a gust of wind caught
the shawl and lifted it upon the frame of
the carriage in such a way that it hung
over the edge, and a corner of it blew
for a moment against Sadie's face.
It was the warmest, softest shawl that
Sadie had ever seen. It was in color a
soft gray, and it had long friDges on the

top
and bottom. Then a terrible
temptation came to her. It would be
the easiest thing in the world to lift this
from the carriage door and run away
before the little girl, who was still
watching the antics of the monkey,,
could look around. Sadie could slip it
round her neck and disappear in a twink
ling among the crowds of people, who,
hurrying along, laughing and jesting,
did not stop for a moment to consider
the doings of the little girl in the street.
And then, too, she thought of the cold
room in which she and her mother lived
and of the bitter nights when the janitor
let the fire go out in the furnace and
the cold crept in and even froze the
water in the pitchers. How they two
had shivered there under r.riAir thin
blankets, which were half made of cot
ton, hearing the wind raging round the
house and seeing the whirling, snow
heaping up little pyramids outside the
shaking windows. With this warm
shawl, which surely the old ladv would
never miss, her mother might never need
to sutler from the cold again.
But then Sadie remembered the words
which her mother had often said to her :
"It is no disgrace to be poor. Sadie, so
long as you are willing to work. I can
endure to see you poor, but if you were
