A. A Tree Which
™ V Bore Good Fruit
OTIIO a. sr. JVC A.
(Copyrtwht, 1904. by Otho B.
A MOST wonderful and gorgeous
Christmas tree stood In the
window of the great iitore of
Warden & Joyce. All day a
.constantly changing throng of small
admirers exclaimed at Ita magnltlcenco
registered extravagant wishes be
fore It.
Children richly clad and full of Joy
ous anticipations, children In comfort
less rags, who knew Christmas only by
tbe sight of the happiness of others,
stood side by side and gased with long
ing *t tho bewildering urroy of
costly gifts and brilliant decorations.
A small girl of twetrs or fourteen,
wltb face unnaturally old and sbnrp,
unsmiling eyes, critically examined tho
tree In silence. Up and down, from
aide to side, her keen ga*e wandered.
"I bet It's empty at tbe back," she
Anally muttered.
Poor child! Her brief experience had
already taught her the unreality and
falsity of many glittering things. She
stepped quickly Into the vestibule where
she eoukl see that part of the tree away
from the window. A sudden Joy Unshed
Into her face.
"It's true—that tree is true," sh»s
whispered eagerly. "The back Is as
good as th? front."
She ! .I'd >in instant and then
raise! licr clasped hands beseechingly.
"God." s!i<> cried, "send me a tree for
Tommy!"
ller intense longing made her voice
sharply imperative, and the first word
struck harshly on the ear of a richly
dressed young lady who was passing
close to her.
"You mustn't swear, child!" she ex
claimed hurriedly.
"I wasn't swearing," the girl an
swered calmly, without resentment. "1
was praying for a tree for Tommy."
An elegant carriage waited at the
curb, and as the young lady stepped to
MISS STANHOPE GAVE ONE I.OOK AT THE
TALL MAN.
the sidewalk tho footman threw open
the door. She stood for an Instant, us
if thinking, and then, turning quickly,
she went back into the vestibule, where
the child was still standing.
"Will you come with me a minute?
Out of the crowd," she added hastily
as the girl faced her with surprised
eyes and an unchtldllke. repelling look
on her thin face.
"Will you step into the carriage"?
Pleuse do. I want you to tell me
something, and It is so very cokl"—
The girl seated herself on the luxu
rious cushions, ihe young lady fol
lowed, and the Inwardly disgusted
footman closed the door.
"Will you tell me your name and
where you live?" the lady questioned
gently.
The child regarded her earnestly.
"Depends on who you are and what
you want. You ain't a charity worker
! nor a slum visitor?"
The young lady smiled understand-
Ingly.
"My name Is Margaret Stanhope, and
I live on Commonwealth avenue. You
—you spoke of Tommy."
The girl's face softened.
"Yes; he's my brother. My name is
Maggie Taylor, and I live on Hurnham
street," adding with a return of her
former manner, "hut it ain't a slum
street, and I don't want no eliarlty."
JHISS Stanhope smiled radiantly.
"Rut 1 do, Maggie. lam so glad our
names are tho same, i need Just what
you do not—charity. Tell me some
thing alwut Tommy." She lingered
lovingly over the name. "Why did you
pray for a tree for him?"
"Ilecause he's sick. He's only twelve,
•nd he works In an office, and his boss
In away, and Tommy took sick after
he'd gone. Tommy feels sure that If
he was here he'd xend his wages to
him just the same, for bw'a a good boss
and awfully kind to everybody, but the
other man his pard tier U different."
"Maggie," said Miss Stanhope ear
nestly, "1 wish you'd help me to have
! a happy Christmas I am all alone In
! the world, without any one to eare for
UK', and I want to do something for
aouie one— for some one nauii-d Tom

The girl drew a long hr .itli.
"it ain't •harltyV »ho asked doubt
fully
t "Sot to you nor to Tommy," answer
gd Miss Stanhope joyously, "but It will
be to me."
—For Tommy's sake," murmured the
girl assentlngly.
"For Tom's sake," echoed Miss Stan
hope tenderly.

more disgusted when he was directed i
to make another round of the stores,
and his bearing wan absolutely frigid
when he was required to carry a most
unbecoming load of bundles up tbe
stairs to the little home on Hurnbam
street. That the Indignity of a good
sized tree was laid upou him also re
quired th«j concentration of all his
thoughts upou tbe generous wages
Mis* Stanhope ptild to enable him t'j
enduro the preseut situation.
"| keep house for father and Tom
injr," whispered Maggie, leading the
%uy. "Tommy's In the kitchen. I left
Mm there In the big chair 'cause it's
warmer. We'll take all these things in
here"-opening tbe door of a neat sit
ting room—"and when we get the tree
fixed I'll push him in In the chair."
Surely never before was a tree so
quickly made to blossom and bring
forth fruit, and It was a "true" tree,
with gifts on every side.
Maggie surveyed it with Joyful pride,
her thin face losing its careworn look
and becoming almost childlike with
the liusli of happy excitement.
"Miss Stanhope," she whispered posi
tlvel.v, "prayers are answered—l know j
it now."
«\hva.vs, in the way he thinks best,'
answei'Cfl Miss Stanhope earnestly,
adding in her heart, "Lord, I believe—
help thou mine unbelief!"
"I'll bring Tommy in now," Mag
gie said, and went softly out to tin
kitchen.
She returned almost immediately.
"His boss is there!" she exclaimed
excitedly. "lie got buck yesterday.
Ain't he awfully good to come so soon
to see Tommy? Tommy looks better
already! The boss 'll push him In."
They both turned toward the tlooi
as it was opened, and a big armchair
with the sick boy iu it was pushed
carefully over the threshold.
Miss Stanhope gave one look at the
tall man behind the chair and started
forward.
"This is Tommy's boss," began Mag
gie, mindful of her duties as hostess,
but the greeting of her two guests quite
disconcerted her, for Tommy's boss
caught the aristocratic Miss Stanhope
in a close embrace, while Miss Stan
hope cried penitently, "Oh, Tom, Tom,
I have been so sorry, and I have want
ed you so!"
The Orljrln of Snnta Claim.
Santa Clans is of German origin.
This is true if only because that is the
German name for St. Nicholas. That
ho is an old man is because in the an
cient pagan feasts in celebration of
the decay of the old year and the birth
of the new an old man played the prin
cipal part. Among the Greeks and Ro
mans it.was Saturn, the father of all
the gods, and among the Norsemen it
was Thor, who was long bearded and
white haired. That the saint is St.
Nicholas Is due to the fact that that
venerable personage's feast day was
celebrated at about that period. St.
Nicholas was a bishop of Myra, who
flourished early iu the fourth century.
He is the patron saint of children and
schoolboys, and hence it was natural
that he should be a part of a celebra
tion when the children received gifts
and when they were allowed to be
"heard as well as seen."—New York

A characteristic sight which precedes
a Roman Christmas is the so called
cottlo, or sale of fish by auction, which
Is held at San Teodoro, near the forum,
In the small hours of the morning, and
every year attracts large crowds of
buyers and sightseers. It is a sight
worth seeing, the vast circular market
literally packed with row upon row of
baskets, in which the scaly fry are
carefully arranged, the light glancing
off their many colored scales In a
thousand prismatic reflections, while
the owner of each stall shouts at the
top of his voice and the merry crowd
goes round laughing and bargaining
and trying to cheapen the flsh, for at
Christmastide It often reaches fabulous
prices, and one is reminded of the ex
travagance of the ancient Romans, one
of whom is said to have paid 20,000
sesterces for n single gray mullet.—
