|E WAS SIT
TING alone
In Ills fash
ionable club.
It was quite
deserted. It had
been for some days
now. Everyone seemed to have ether
things to do than to come to the club.
They had talked, a number of them,
the lust time nmny had been there, of
the busy days ahead, shopping, wrap
ping up Christmas parcels, helping
their wives or their daughters or their
grandchildren In the gay plans for
Christmas.
Only he had no plans to make. He
gave his employees, and a number of
others wlUi whom he came In contact,
money at Christ
mas time. That
fulfilled his
Christmas de
mands.
Other years he
hadn’t felt It so
much ns this year.
Tills year the
Ponellnoss seemed
lonelier than ever
before. Ills soli
tary condition sud-
dended him.
Well, he would
go back to his
suite. He would
leave the club.
Perhaps among
his own books, his
own tilings he
would not feel so
lonely. He would not dine at the club;
he would have some cheese nnd crack
ers and coffee at home. His excellent
valet could always prepare a little
supper for him. *
Outside of the club hla chauffeur and
car were waiting.
He got In nnd sat down on the soft,
luxuriously upholstered cushions, and
the chauffeur closed the door, shutting
out the clear, cold Christmas time air
and the noise of the streets—the noise
of muny voices of many people going
shopping, with the higher voices of
children rising every once In awhile
above the din.
His soul seemed to ache. He was
alone. Rich, comfortable, luxurious,
alone! No one wurited him, needed
him,- cared for him. He had every
thing which money could buy; he had
enough money to buy everything he
wanted.
No, not everything! He wanted love
and affection, he wanted to be a part
of all this going on outside the luxu
rious confinement of his car and that
he couldn’t buy. Mix with the crowds?
Yes, he could do that, hut not as one
of them. Only ns a lonely man who
had a fat bunk account which didn’t
help In the slightest.
And yet couldn’t It help? Suddenly
he had an inspiration. He called
through the speaking tube to his
chauffeur. "I think," he said, “I will
get out here nnd walk the rest of the .
way home.”
The chauffeur was surprised, but he
was too well-trained to show surprise.
lie got out before a large store
where in the window was a decorated
Christmas tree. lie went Inside the
store. No longer did he feel so lonely.
He, too, had a put-pose In mind. He
was a part of all of this now.
Tinsel, candles, red colored paper,
ribbons, small toys, decorations, oh,
how much he bought. His arms were
filled with bundles
Just as were the
arms of others. It
was such fun to
carry bundles, too.
He had never
known before the
Joy of overcrowd
ed arms.
Home he went,
carrying hla be-
loved purchases
with him. And
then he summoned
the Janitor to his
lonely suite, which
now seemed -filled
with the Christ
mas cheer. _ He
talked It ull 'over
with him, the plans
tor the tree, for
Ills own Sunta Claus suit.
He had given the Janitor money be-
fore, of course. This time he would
take part In the Christmas of the chil
dren’of the Janitor.
Christmas morning came. Nevei
had he arisen so eurly on a Christmas
morning. Dressing himself carefully,
he went downstairs. He had worked
until late the night before, decorating
the tree, but he was not tired.
Suddenly there was a cry. a cry ol
joy such as he had never henrd.
“Why, there's Santa Claus 1
dear Santa Claus.”
The Janitor’s children had always
been afraid of him, lint not so oT Santa
Claus! He undid his pack, he took
gifts off the tree, and the childrer
climbed over him, kissed him, hugged
him, loved him. , With what a splendid
gustA they loved him!
And the children begged Santa Claui
to stay for dinner. Curious thing foi
him to be doing! But he stayed, and
for the first time, almost since he ha<
been a child himself, he had a Christ
mas. a real Christmas, a Christmni
filled with love which had drive* tin
loneliness out I
