A Christmas Heroine.
By Frances Cassedy McEJroy.
It was Christmas Eve and snowing
hard. From Grandma Graham’s
cheery. Are lighted sitting room you
could watch the white flakes ,whirl
this way and that way, in the outside
twilight Everything was ready for
Christmas Bay and the children;
plum pudding In the pantry and crul
lers in the sideboard, holly over the
picture* and mistletoe swung'to the
chandeliers. Queer packages had’,
been arriving for a week by mossen-1
ger boy and by post. 1
There was one odd-shaped bundle]
on the floor of grandma’s closet. Old
' Mnlvlny, the cook ,liad been there
‘ "pinching about," when old ’mlstus”-
was out of sight and she was nearly
certain that It was a doll buggy. In
fact' she could see the red parasol
sticking out.
Grandma lived an hpur’s ride from
her daughter's city home and she ex
pected the whole family for Christ
inas. But what should Bobby do |
but upset everybody’s plans and ,
choke up with croup just on the very' (
day, In theforenoon? Mamma said
that she could not think of taking (
her baby boy but In that storm with |
the croup and papa said that be (
would not think of leaving her with (
a sick child, alone and on Ghristmas ,
too. But grandmother must not be (
altogether disappointed so mamma (
put Ralph and Ethel on the train and
told them not to leave their seats till (
they reached grandma’s station. f
Grandma heard the new* by tele- ,
gram and was at the sitting room e
window looking for them up the ,
snowy road In the twilight She was „
beginning to get fldgety, as grand
mothers are apt to do when people (|
don't keep engagements to the min- c
ute, when her carriage wheeled Into t ,
view, and, yes, there was Ethel, and y
Ralph beside her—and somebody else (]
Grandma strained her eyes to see as
the carriage came whirling up to (I
the door In grand styie. Ralph and
Ethel half tumbled out without Q
waiting for the driver to open the 0
door land after them came a tiny, 0 .
shabby child with great black eyes b
and fluff/ fair hair. . g]
Grandma looked amused and not g
altogether pleased, but she was too
polite to - show what she felt. In- h
stead she held out her hand kindly g]
to the little stranger and said: "And
who Is thlsT” t)
Instantly two little eanest faces
were upturned and two eager tongues j
began to aMswer. But grandma said
"I cannot hear 1 both at once! Let us (]
get to the fire first and then you may ^
tell me."
Once In the warm sitting room, ^
cloaks and hats put away, the little ^
tongues began again. "She lives ^
back of our, house In the alley; we
O]
know her by talking through the ^
fence, and, grandma, she hasn’t apy

"And her papa was taken off drunk
from the depot f" Interrupted Ethel.
"And she hadn't any lira at home!"
cried Ralph. h
"And when mamma left us lu the 0
train we saw her standing out on the **
platform shivering, and we had some s
money to pay the train man in our ”
little chain pocketbooks and we rals- “
ed the window and asked her if she “
would not like to go to'our grandma’s
would’’—
“She lust lumped at It!” Interrupt
ed Ralph. L
"Should think she would!" thought f(
grandma to herself. w
- * All this time the little stranger’s K
bright, black eyes were glancing „
.about, seeming to find pleasure and w
satisfaction In everything in the
room. And at last she suddenly, an- Q|
nounced: "I like the placet I’m H
going to stay here!” a
Grandma Graham did not hear her. | fl
The old lady’s mind was full of some
thing else. "But, children," she
said, “suppose she finds nothing In ai
her stocking In the morning. She al
wasnt* looked for, you see.” h
Both children gave a gasp. “That's x
so!'* they said In horrified whispers. fj
”01<f Santa couldn't know she was
coming!"

done,” said Grandma, determined w
