JCTOR Fordney came out of
the big department
i deposited an armful of
packages in his runabout,
and then started to pay
last visit on his daily round.
It was the afternoon before Christ
mas, but the young physician's heart
was not filled with the proverbial hol-
fiday cheer. Good will he had toward
all men-—-but not toward all women.
One little spot of resentment lurked
in his thoughts of June Leigh.
She haa accepted his tender devo
tion with downcast eyes and an en-
trancing air of demureness and timid-
ity combined. Then, suddenly, she
had been transformed imto the most
bewildering of coquettes, openly flirt
ing with a man the doctor detested
At speed-limit rate, he drove his
machine into the poorest of the poor
precincts of the éity and stopped be-
fore a forlorn-looking little house. He
knocked and then opened the door. A
pale, anxious-eyed woman came for-
ward. He held up a cautioning finger
and smiled as he deposited his load
of toys in a corner.

lis was putting the last touches.
“That is fine!” he exclaimed.
“The young lady came back with a
doll for Lou, and when [ told her what
you had done, she stayed and fixed It
for me. She was here all the after
stringing cranberries and pop-
corn, and making candy bags.”
“I'll slip behind the tree, now, and
you bring the little girl out. She won't
be afrald of me, will she?”
“Oh, no: she loves Santa Claus!™
The doctor was more than repaid
for his efforts by the cry of delight
that issued from Lou when her mother
brought her from the bedroom and
propped her up in pillows in an old
rocking chair
