Fisher’s 10c |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 (©, 1921, Western N»w*po.»*» Dnten.)
