L WTNAI( IOoprrtset, 1O, by American Prean Anse- edatloa l T was Christmas murnIng autl very, very cold. Beery few minutes a b trainman world come the I �� car, watching carefully u dial fated tberwotneter and stopping to turn strews of the beating apparatus in persistent attempts to keep the pointing huger at 70 degrees Despite the discomfort of close air, wttlttt was Door too warm at bast, the passengers in the Dain worn Joyous faces and didn't seem to consider the uumeroua packages and bundles an an- noyance. From a wayslde station, wtilcb look- ed as If it had never been nrigbbor to any house where human beings lived, a poor little girl entered and dropped Into a seat where an overcoat told that its owner was probably in taw smoking car. The child did nut notice obits, and in her ignorance of navel 1t would have made uo difference It she had. She might have Steen eight or ten years old, b1IT that air of sett reliance Was ben which poverty's child often ae- quire', very young. yet there was noth- fug& forward or "bold" in her appear- ann'e. Her dries was of tbe scantiest - a title cotton gown. bare. y concealing the lack of suitable underwear; a little worn shoulder .bawl and a battered straw hat. When the conductor appeared the Laud which presented ber half fare ticket was red with cold. but the small person lifted t0 him a wonderfully Crank face and confidtngty Informed him that sbe was going to grandma's for Christmas and that the package she clutched in her other stand contain- ed cookies for grandma. The conductor stalled down at ber. A pitying smile 1t was. as he thought of Ms own well fed. well clothed chil- dren, with whom he expected to eat a tate Christmas dinner when his run was over. The smile lingered on his face as he passed to tbe next seat and saw that Its occupants haat beard. Two women sat in the seat, tetras - gets to each other and aa dike ss two persons made oc the same general principles could be. One was tall, dig- u1ded. young, wrapped in costly fess. everything shalt her showing the per- son erson who never lacked coney or leisure; the other, .toot, pity, elekely, comfort- able --a kindly and well to do woman The two had traveled trance and miles Ade by We wtth not a wood passed between them. Now both sat with eyes Rind on the forlorn bit of tlsmaanity in taunt of them. Suddenly the yoomger woman opened her tnvettng bag and took from It a soft gray shawl. It was at least two yards tons mad tall as wide. Folding It together, she touched the little wall, saying m ■ low tone, `Stand up, my dear." The child obey- ed wonderingly, and this woman in the Costly furs planed the folded *bawl around the small shoulders, crossed it In trent and, bringing the ends to the back, punned tbem securely. `Tt L yours to keep." she whispered -- -a Christman present" Then. turn- ing to the woman at her side. ate said apologetically. "I really did Dot Deed 1t myself." Thaw was a blink of tears in her eyes. "Weft, Dow." the older woman ex- claimed In admiration, "yon Just set me to thinkin" I'tD really ashamed that I didn't think of dothg something myself. Ilene, I've got two pairs of mtttens for my grandsT-tint about bar else -in my hand tag, and he can't wear oat more than one pair this win- ter. Resides, I can knit another. It's nothing at all to knit mittens." She was busily nndrawing the etrtnge of as enormous silk bag, but ber glasses were blurred. and hes fingers were clumsy with baste. "What's your name. little girl? Ka- tie! Well, hold oat your hands, Katie. My! Aren't they a good at! There's an- other Chrhttmaa present to keep. And here's a frosted cake, Just eat ft right now, Katie. Your grandma won't need 1t, with 1 those yotf i got to your bundle." The child again obeyed. She did not slay, ''Tbank you." Poseribly etre did not know bow bot she seemed to glow all over, and her eyes returned thanks even If her timid llpe did not ''m proud to know yon, my dear." the rally poly, comfortable woman said now to the young lady, for she had been saying to herself all the while: "You're the right sort. i can see that' And I alio proud to snow yon." the other responded, almost shyly offering her hand, which was quickly buried in a hag, warm gtaep. "We all lona; to be of service at Chrtstmas time, you know." At that instant the man of the over- coat aaantered to to resume his neat Ile gave n low whletlo• of eurprlee ■t the happy little traveler next the win- dow. tndow. glanced at the two women and comprehended tbe situation. His right hand made a quick dive Into hie trou- sers pocket as If to get nem.. money. In Another instant he withdrew it and reached up to the rack overhead and lifted down a large peeper trundle. Tak- ing the bundle across the stele to an empty gent, be opened It and took out a smaller package from among many others. Untying this package, he brought to light a Pales barred doll dfesai utast-afyle and resplen- dent espko-dent In a Targe picture! hat. This he placed in the little glrl'e arena staying.
