You don't know how wonderful it is to get into this warmth and find you all!" Tony burst into an animated description of the orphanage tree. The party went on into enjoyment and hilarity. There was a marvelous dinner, and afterward came the great hour of the tree, with every one quite speechless with laughter, surprise and gratitude. The excitement had reached Its height when a maid came to Mrs.

Bly, who turned to Tony. Doctor Vanderwall?" "Oh," Tony said, pleased and puzzled. "Where'd you put him, Mamie?" "In the library." "Oh. You'll go up, Tony? Yes, and then do bring him down, we'll find something for him on the tree." Tony went upstairs, stretched both hands to the squarely built who rose from the shadows of library. "Joe, how nice! Merry Christmas! take off that coat.

How'd you know I was here?" telephoned the office. Say, sit down a minute. I just had a cable." said abruptly. His fair moon face was very serious. Her color changed; her eyes were riveted on his face.

"What is it?" she asked quickly. "Mrs. Patterson?" "No. Ruth." "Ruth?" whispered Tony. The quiet room softly lighted in the winter evening and the drowsing fire and the decorous backs of the handsome books seemed to reel, to settle again in their places.

Joe frowned, spoke slowly as 11 he felt a little embarrassed by her emotion, a little sorry for her. "She was hurt in the street. She never regained "Ruth!" Tony whispered again with a dry mouth. For a long minute she looked at Joe. "Dead?" she asked.

I didn't want you to see it in the paper tomorrow." Tony looked away and Joe looked at her. The gracious lines of the long young body were set off by the green velvet gown; the deep lace collar and cuffs, the flushed cheeks and rumpled dark hair and serious blue eyes made her look like beautiful child. "It makes me- feel she said, speaking as if her throat were sore. "I suppose gO, Tony." "You're awfully kind about it, Joe," the girl said suddenly. She laid her hand on his, but her eyes were -absent and her thoughts far away.

"Ruth!" she said in strange whisper. "Dead! Oh, Joe, I'm sorry!" Presentliy he was gone and in an unreal way she was mingling with the Christmas, party again; and then it was time to go home, sticky, tired, warm and still laughing and talking.
