Mrs. Penrose had been a pretty girl, with small, somewhat irregular features and a eat little figure. Mre. Penrose,after thirty year of married life'was an immensely toutwoman, red-faced and somewhat short f breath; all the beauty of fresh com- plexion and bright eyes gone; all iiregu- ntrities of features brought out and render- ed prominent by their puffiness! and Various hard lines about the mouth and a scowl on the Iow forehead that made here not the face _ to which the wretched look instinctively for .e lelp. _Mrs. Penrose's ample person seas en- eloped in a fleneel wrapper of forbidding spect. -Mrs. Penrose's head was surmouiat- d by a huge cap, in which as much valen- iennes nd needlework as possible was Wasted in making her look ugly. Mrs. Pen - rose's feet were in slippers and jeweled eye - lanes in hand; she was nodding over the ible. Mrs. Penrose was going to bed. - " Give'and it shall be given to you," she read aloud, sleepily. . 1 "Then I ought to have something I hand - ore than a poor girl's yearly earnings-- me," murmured she by way of comment - and looked arouull the room. It was a handsoune morn, that of Mrs. enrose. Pictures—each one worth far I ned the walls three deep; the carpet was a Axminster; thoee ugly little cups and ncers in the cabinet by the mantel cost as uch as would have fed and clothed a small mily for six months; huge India vases t wered on the mantel • a. long mirror fllashed back the light from its gleaming epthe and the very Bible from which she ✓ ad was a superb English folio, with rare e gravings, and upheld by a curiously c rved reading stend of dark wood. But I was not at the room or its furnishings— t fough she prided herself on having the I ems of their cost at her tongue's end, as • any an unlucky listener could testify— t at Mrs.Penrose looked with such serene a. d virtuous exultation. It was the prea- ts—ranged on every side, loading the'ta- le es and \. piled up. in cabinets.

' " Ouf 1" puffed Santa Claus, as he pulled ne sharply at Mrs. Penroee's chimney. now, in the name of plum-puddiug, am I t carry that load ?" "That's the horses' lookout," quoth Jack F ost, blowing his nose. " Besides, isn't it y ur business 7" . " Can't a goblin grumble a little,if it is ?" st oveled Senn' Claus. " And, moreover, 0 ni cool friend, though you may be posted u as to icebergs, and rather a sharp one in y ur way, you ve a thing or two to learn y t.; and one is, that wicked gifts weigh as h avy as lead—heavy as the hearte of the p or to whom she hesn't sent thern. These, a e gifts to the rich. Look at these laces f r Mrs. Plumdoodle. Why, her drawers w n't hold what she has new. Laces, in - d ed 1 better have sent a turkey to that p oawidow in the alley near her house and a flannel petticoat to her old mother. Whoa! P &neer 1. See, the very horses know better. Now, if it had been a load three times ta high, of wood and flannels and tux - k ye and books for those who haven't t em, and toys for poor bahee aud—Well, a ything to gladden the wretched—you a ouid have seen how they would have g ne. Light as the crust on a Christmas p8." - " Boreas 1" muttered Jack : " I'll fix her. I' 1 give her a Chriatmas present. She shall h ve one of my dreams.' And without so m eh as a parting nod he plumped clown the el imney. "Cool, that," said Santa Claus to him- aelf as he tucked in the buffaloes; but t en that's his way. "Get up, Nixen !" a d he dashed off to Mrs. Plumdoodle's. Meanwhile, Mrs,Pertrose began to shiver. rake0sthe fires and drew her wrapper c ser arund her and put on a shawl; but e only grew colder; and when she tried to ri.g the bill, she found tcr her horror, that e couldn't stir. And then the fire, and e pictures, and the gleaming mirror, and o ti chine, and all the other items of that le 11 of costs of which Mrs. Penrose was so p oud, began to ' move off, no—it was she t at Was moving—upright and motionlees,- a if he was frozen in her arm-chair— t rough the cold, dark night, side by side ith an odd looking old man, buttoned -up the chin with an icicle on the top of a ry red nose and a cold blue eye that,every time it glanced towa/ds her, sent chills even to her toes. Pretty predicament that for a woman in ra Penrose's exalted station; and apart i orn the propriety, dreadfully uncomfort- k le. The odd little man had such a dile. reeable way id looking at her over his 11 se—it made her feel exactly as if she Was a roe poor guilt -stricken wretch, trembling h fere justice, instead of Mrs. P.P. Penrose, 40 leader of her set and the model of the vIrtues. She wanted to ask him if he knew R ho she was and what he wanted, but her tongue like her limbs, refused obedience. But the little man must 'have divined her thoughts, for he answered sharply: "Yes, ma'am. You're Mrs. Penrose and I'm Jack Frost, and as to what I mean, look and see for yourself." Mrs. Penrose was close by a little third - story window in one of those curious streets that have grown dingy and musty, and crowded end noisy, and yet have not alto- gether given themselves over te squalor and filth, but seem always to be saying: "1 was once 011 a street of pretensions and I will be genteel to the last" , And so it was with the roomthat the little window lighted. There was the same mournful and wan gentility. The thread- bare carpet had been a Brussels 'the stiff furniture was that in which our -wealthy forefathers delighted, and the face of the middle;aged woman who ayes pritting the lace on that elaborate handkerchief spoke most unmistakably of better days. A little clock on the chimney piece Ntruck twelve The woman shivered—for the fire was out —held up the handkerchief' wearily and sighed. "There's two hours more of work on that gimcrack, you see ma'am," said Jack Frost, addressing himself to Mrs. .Penrose. "It is as cold in there as it is out here and she don't dare kindle any more fire, for she bas only a few cents left. "She is hungry, too, for she has lived on bread and tea for a week. But she can't stop even to catch 'a moment's sleep She is making that for the wealthy Mra. Pen- rose, who intends, it for a Christmas gift and if it is not home by morning she will lose that lady's custom. Hark 1 what is that she is saying ?" They that give to the rich shall surely come to Want,' I wonder if that will ever happen to Mrs. Penrose? 1 wonder if she will ever feel this deadly oold—this merci- less craving ; I was at her house to -day and they allowed me ier'i-• room', where she was taking breakfast. I almost hoped she would offer me some, for I fancied that she might read the hunger in my eyes if she looked at me. But she only ehowed me the gifte she had ready to send away—$1,000 worth, she said. I thought how rich $5 of it would have made me, and my heart leaped up when she said: 'Here is your Christmas. Now, mind you don't prove ungrateful.' It was only a handkerchief, however—an old silk hand- kerchief. It would do, she said, to tie aronnd my neck; but I took it to the pawn- broker's and he gave me a shilling for it." ,'The good-for-nothing hussy 1" thought Mrs. Penrose—for she couldn't speak it— "my handkerchief to the pawnbroker's. That handkerchief that I've had for the last ten years in a pawnbroker's !" " What desecration 1 what black ingrati- tude ! eh, Mrs. Penrose?" echoed Jack with a grin. "You gave an old cravat to a starving woman and 'she pawned it 1 Out on ouch a world ! You are too good for it, Mrs. Penrose !" and he puffed a wintry blast in her face that made her shrink further down in her flannel wrapper. "Come on, ma'atll. Such an example makes me sidle of th human race." And the chair floated osi il' it,, stopped at a handsome house looming up grandly in the dim night. e" MrsrPlamdoodle's Santa Cla,us has just ben here,' said Jack, " Let us lope that she will prove grateful." A d before Mrs. Penrose could think Jack popped down the chimney, and her ohair after him, into info Mrs. Plumdoodle's boudoir. "Bless my soul 1 what svill Mrs. Plum - doodle say ! It will be all over town before noon to -morrow that I tame down her chim- ney in a flannel wrapper," thought Mrs. Penrose ; but she saw presently,that both_ she and her strange companion were quite invisible to Mrs. Plumdoodle, who was ex- amining the set of point d'Alencon left by Santa Claus with anything but a delighted fece. "The old humbug," she said, throwing them down with a jerk, " I suppose she thinks I won't know her old lace—as if I hadn't enough already 1 Let me see. The first time I saw her wear that was full ten years ago. at the Starbucks party. She had it on the waist of that orange -colored moire that she was such a fright in, and it's been on her cape and her sleeves till I'm sick of the sight of it. I suppose she got LaFleu to make it up and thought I wouldn't know it and would ..send something back. But she non't get a. thing from me. Or, stay— yes, that.will be paying her off in her own coin. I ivill send her that old daub that has been lying in the attic BO long and tell her that I send her a rate specimen of an- tique art, knowiug her fondness for that school. Ha ! ha 1 ha 1" 1 "More ingratitude 1" sneered Jack, "You are an unfortunate weman, Mrs. Penrose! I see you are Badly misappreciated," and with a whoop and a somersault he went up the chimney,followed by the chair and Mrs. Penrose, who was livid with indignation. By this time the morning had commenced to dawn, -gray and cold, and the *retched streets, over which they now took their way to show signs of life. Mrs. Penrose turned up her nose. , ' Disgusting, isn't it ?" grinned Jack. " If people will insist on being poor and wretehed they might at least keep it out of sight, eh, Mrs. Penrose ? No iv,look there 1" and he pointed downwards as the chair stopped. It was in the midst of one of the most wretched of the many wretched streets in the mighty metropolis. Gutters reeking with filth ; houses seeming to totter on their foundations ! little dens of shops, whose wretchedness was only exceeded by that of their occupant, and, worse than all, crowding out from cellars, stumbling down steps, running out of alleys, hurrying, as if in obedience to some call that she could lint hear, hundreds of children—ragged, uncombed, wild-eyed, with naked, bleeding feet—shivering as they drew their scanty rags about them—and all looking at her re- proachfully, menacingly. " You spent a thousand dollars on Christ- mas gifts,' said Jack, "but none of.,'",- these were warmed, or fe , or clothed." — And host, Ek.nd the child en pointed to their then went up a long' ail from the pitiful bleeding feet and ohowed her their thin coverings. And then swarmed out women more wild and ragged than - the children, scolding, reeling, swearing—some of them —but all looking at her and calling fiercely for bread, fire, clothing, light. . "You squandered a thousand dollars on the rich,-' screamed one. s" Give me some- thing? I have a babe and I cannot nurse it. I am dying of hunger." "Food !' yelled another, " My children and I have tasted nothing since yesterday morning."

"Cursed is she who gives to ti4ie who want for nothing," exclaimed a third, " while she forgets the poor 1" and then went up another long wail. And the men thronged, out—gaunt, savage, threatening, hurling up wild cries and curses toward her. "How ungrateful is this world," sneered Jack. " Were you among those hounds, they would have your heart's blood." He touched the chair as he spoke, and, to Mrs. Penrose's horror, it began te descend. She struggled, she writhed, she tried to scream; but a hand of iron held ber fast.

Felicia, come here and help me off with my wrapper. Tuck up the bed clothes and rut down that gas.; There, that will do." - And Mrs. Penrose went to _sleep again. But when she rose in the morning she atill remembered her dream, and it was not un- til she had sought out some of the poor, and made Christmas indeed a blessing that her terrible ride with Jack Frost faded from her mind.
