"But it will be fine seeing you again, Lad,” she murmured, thinking of I her distant son. “Now. le‘ s see. Those star cookies you’re so fond of—" She glanced at the hurrying clock. Loud shrieks of laughter under I her window interrupted her i thoughts. Those new neighbor children again. If they were dirtying up her freshly swept wr Ik! She , strode grimly to the porch. There was a path in the snow from their yard, around hers, and back again i to their own. where all four of them I had apparently trudged, pushing a snow ball, across her walk in two , places. A tussel started suddenly, and they were all tumbling about in . the snow, shrieking at the top of their voices. Martha scolded shrilly at them, and they stood up, an abashed little line of stair steps. "The idea! On Christmas, too!" Martha chided. "Whatever is the matter with your ma, that she lets you make 1 such a racket?” "She’s sick,” answered the oldest girl. "Sick! Then all the more rea- ’ son why you should keep still. Shame on you.” The little group stood like statues. Martha tucked in the wisp of hair. "You children come in here and sit still while I work, and I’ll I I tell you a story,” she invited. "Mind you wipe your feet.” "I suppose it should be a Christ--1 mas story,” Martha began. "Do you know about the shepherds and the wise men?” “Y’es’m,” they chorused. "We go to Sunday school,” added the oldest girl. "Then,” Martha asked her, “shall I tell you about Santa Claus’.”’ Her face clouded a little. "Moth- ‘ er told us that,” she answered soberly. 1 "Oh.” said Martha. She dusted the flour from her hands •* 1 ‘ turned to baste the turkey. Four pairs of eager eyes watched her every move. The doorbell rang. "Laddie! Good heavens,” cried Martha, slipping off her apron, and rushed to the door. But instead it was a telegram: "AWFULLY SORRY DARLING BUT I JUST CAN’T GET AWAY STOP DO TRY TO HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS STOP GO ON A SPREE AND I LL FOOT THE BILL STOP EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO GET DOWN FOR NEW YEAR'S AND WILL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING THEN LOVE LADDIE.” Martha Goodwin read it twice. Then she smoothed the straying wisp of hair and went back to the ■ kitchen. "Well," the older girl '-as explaining, "it’s sort of like a chicken, I guess, only ever so much bigger.” The foug children looked up as Martha entered. "Why. what’s the matter, Mrs. Good vin?” "My son —I was expecting him—he isn’t coining.” "Gee,” came a sympathetic chorus. "And you'd fixed everything so nice and—and Christmassy.” "I’m not going to have it spoiled.” Martha decided. "Here,” ■ i ■ she said and Jraped the holly wreath over the youngest's arm. "You,” she said to the next one, “carry the potatoes, and you take the mince pie—careful, it’s hot—and you,” to the eldest, “take the vegetables. 1 think 1 can manage the turkey.” "But where are we going?” “Over to your house. Weren’t you about to miss out on Christmas dinner?” "Dinner first, then presents," she suggested, and when, having eaten all they could hold, they gathered about the holly, she found a crudely wrapped present for herself It was a picture scrapbook, somewhat smudged. Were those tears in Martha Goodwin's eyes? Surely not, for she was smiling. "Why, thank you,” she exclaimed. "Such a lovely surprise; My, she added. "I do wish Christmas came more than once a year.’ a W caieiu Newtpapcr liiuou. I
