They would just be mAiibl?, and hiTt a restful holiday without any of the worry of try In* to oatdo each other and their frlenda In the exchange of gifts. Their friends had consented ^not to glee them any presents, and as they had ao children. It would be easy to carry out their Intention of having Just an ordinary holiday. Christmas morning arrived and Mr. Brown looked at Mrs. Brown through blinking eyes. "Merry Christmas," he said; "Merry Christmas," echoed his wife. They were both startled. That was not the way to begin an ordinary holi day. They had begun It Just as they had begun every other Christmas. "But then," Mrs. Brown explained, "It wouldn't be right not to say It, would it, dear?" Mr. Brown quite agreed with her, and they went down to breakfast. At Mr. Brown's place were some packages. "What are these7" he asked, with pretended harshness. "Oh, dearie," said his wife, "yoi; won't be angry, will you? I just couldn't help giving you something. It wouldn't be Christmas without some surprises. And. as we weren't giving any presents, I thought It was a good opportunity to get you some things you have needed a long time. Mr. Brown tore open the packages, which to his great delight contained a velvet lounging robe, some Russian leather slippers and a box of his favorite cigars. "You dear!" he cried, and kissed his wife ardently. Then he drew from his pocket a small box which he handed her. Her eyes sparkled. "Por me?" she exclaimed. "For you," he said, and add*d, as she lifted from the box a beautiful necklace of pearls, "I thought since we weren't giving any presents this year, It was a good opportunity to buy you these pearls you have wanted so long." ' "You dear," said his wife, and kissed him Joyously. Just then the doorbell rang. A mes senger with flowers and candy was at the door. "I thought it wouldn't be Christmas without these," said Mr. Brown. "And you were right," agreed his wife. "You can't have Christmas without candy and flowers, and pres ents and surprises, which show how people really love you."?H. Lucius Cook. (?. ltS4, Western N?wipip*r Union.) PLAYING SAFE IN CHRISTMAS GIVING ANKER CHISHOLM refused ac commodation to persons who seemed the most successful mer chants in town, and to some of the wealthiest citizens. An account over checked by even a dollar received quick notice. It was as if Banker Chisholm had a finger on the pulse of the town, and whenever a pulse fal tered he withdrew. He was not run ning a hospital. So he became known as "Stony Face," "Frost," "Bloodless," and the like. Even the many solicitors of charity went to him without expec tation. Each Christmas mysterious turkeys were left at doors whose owners were not expecting to have any. Loads of wood and tons of coal appeared In the same way. Banker Chisholm i could have told something about them. |; Only one person in town really un derstood, and that was Andy Searles, an old seatmate at school. Andy was a failure, and indifferent about It, but he was a close-mouthed participant in his friend's secrets. One day the banker called him into his back room. "Here is a thousand dollars, Andy," he began, nodding at a roll on the j table. "I want you to slip it into your pocket and distribute it where you feel lt\wlll make the most Christmas." Vln your name this time, Bill. I do^'t like what they call you." (anker Chisholm reached for the m<?iey. Then 1 won't give anything," he Id. "You remember how my prede tesor, Mr. Wade, almost ruined hlm lelf and the bank by his reckless gen erosity and accommodation to unsafe borrowers. If I became known as an easy giver, I would be attacked by a horde of friend*, and?I'm afraid I*M too soft-hearted to play safe. The only way is to keep up my reputation of '8tony Face.' It is my salvation. I'm terry you?" [ "Oh. all right," Interrupted Andy gruffly. "Give me the money. IH dis tribute It where I see need, and want of a Merry Christmas."?Frank Her bert Sweet.
