| The Heart of the | Christmas Child | By HELEN IRWIN I

MIE Great Mun was iu u frightful humor. The clerks tiptoed In und out of the private office, und Miss Elgin gathered up iter pencils und erasers und fled. James had cupped the climax of a series of disasters by telephoning that tlie nmchine was out of commission. The Great Man must take the trol- , ley home. The trolley home on a night like this, when

even standing room would be at u premium. He bunged up the receiver, and bellowed at the office boy to get Miss Elgin. When she stood mts-kly before him lie issued his orders abruptly. ‘‘Write up those letters,” he suid, “file those things, udd up these reports; straighten out here. There ure some telephone calls that I haven’t time so you can lock up. I must be off, that Infernal trolley will make me late us it is.” Then he struggled into his fur coat and started, lest the souffle be a trifle overdone, and Miss Elgin dropped her tired hands in despair at the burden he had slid on to her shoulders. It meant work for her till eight or nine, and this was Christmas eve. At tile corner where he took up his stand for a car a newsboy accosted him. "Paper, mister?” “No,” he said shortly. The little fellow persisted. “Paper, mister?” Tile Great Man looked down with a sharp retort.on his lips, and the face .of the child arrested hi* attention, it was so v, hite and pinched; and the eyes staring out of It so big and earnest. He took out a quarter, and because a car was coming, waved aside the change. In spite of his hurry, llie boy’s thanks struck strangely on his ear. “Ytfii’se got the heart of the Christmas Child all right, mister." The heart of the Christmas Child, for a measly quarter, one of many thousands he could spare! The bitter irony of it brought a smile to his lips; a smile that twisted ids face into a strange shape. Alec met him at tlie door, and removed his coat. Dinner was served W 6 LSjgffiy l|X- -sl O - ' Tn itSßp ®"f . S? —. && He Took'Out a Quarter. and he sat down to it alone. His wife was dead, and since Alice ran away two years ago with a poor clerk and lie had pronounced the sentence of exile upon her, lie had lived alone with his servants. % They ministered to bis comfort skillfully now as ever, but somehow things were not right. He thought of a poor family group in the trolley, and pictured their Christmas evening meal; imagined what joy the smallest thing on his table would give them — He drew his eyes impatiently away; and then he thought of the clerks’ Christinas gifts, cut right in two. liepictured the faces of the neediest ones, when they opened the flaps of tlie tiny envelopes he had guiltily sealed. Around and around the room seemed tp echoe: “Yon’se got the heart of the Christ-, mas Child all right, mister,” and he laughed aloud. He pushed back his chair impatiently at. 1 went into the library. ‘Great Scott! what is the matter vith me?” he saiJ; “my liver must be out of order.” ' n He took up a cigar and a mugitzine, but he could not read. From across the shadows of the library hl? daughter’s eyes sought his, staring from out tin- canvas. She was the only one Io- had left, and she was cast rigorously aside. The face of the Great Man worked suddenly in pain, and his head fell forward on his arias. And then —soft arms were about his neck, and lips pressed to his cheek. | ‘■Father," said a voice, “look up and say I may come. Alec let me in; I’ve been waiting in the hall —” She broke off. The sound of music came faintly into the room. With arms about him, she drew him to the window and flung up the stash. ‘The ‘Little Orphans’Christmas Carol.'" she whispered, and the room was filled with melody. Tears streamed down the Great cheeks; he drew her head to his shoulder. “Alice,” he whispered Itrokenly, “you must come and make me a better man.” And suddenly about them hovered the spirit of that great heart of the Christmas Childi
