"IxKik around, children, and tell me at'.at you wapt for Chrlsttnas," said Un cle Tom as a polite clerk met him at the door. Now. Jock, the Cunnlnor One. had al r. ady taken note of a Kreat *reen roll •vhtch reixised In the lower right-hand (M.ket of the Old Party's waistcoat, and he also knew that as long as that roll lasted Uncle Tom could not deny the children anything. Therefore he dropped ' strong hints and made loud asides re garding a railroad which went hy elee- I trtcity, u magic lantern, a bicycle, a print ing press and numerous other fine ami ] expensive tilings. When his uncle asked | him which he would rather have he re j plied artfully that they were till so lovely he couldn't hear lo give one up In favor | of another. Thu* Jack thought to humor , Ids uncle into buying h.m everything he I wanted. Now. M irjorle, on entering the place, had caught sight of the most beautiful | doll that ever came from Part*.

Then, besides, there was close at hand a small trunk tilled to overflow ing with ek'thes for her ladyship, and three dainty bonnets quite after the latest Parisian fashions. Marjorie stave a little gasp a she first belli Id this superb creature, and she walk ed up timidly and felt of the doll's real blonde hair slone In th*' latest sty e of hesutdrees and she patted that soft velvet coat anl all the time liitle Marjorie hummel softly to herself—lt was hardly more than o whisper—as she always did w lien she was newr to any one she loved. Now. Marjorie never dreamed of poe sesslng this do.!.' but when a woman tn swishing skirts and warm fur* came IWeetlly an*l asked the Polite t'erk what was the price of the doll, a sudden pang ahol down tbro.mh Marjorie's heart, and uneonsclouaiy the little Ungers closed In on the red coal ami held It fast “What a frightful price!" she henr.l the w*van say as she passed on. The little girl suddenly was aware that her uncle was wall hlng her. and so In her guileless way the tender hearted little thing tred to pretend l ia< he dtd not care for the doll and resolutely turning her back on the henu'r. she walked over to the conn ter Tull of smaller dol s. and picking up a florid cr.a'ure with a grinning fa-e she turned and smiled at her uncle is much as lo say. “I shal' be quite satisfied with a doll like thl." Bu when a moment later the Old Party turneJ to whlep* r *om thing to the Polite ferk Marjorie w"h the smaller doll trailing al her side for gotten. stole up and stood In front of the gorgeous one.
