Acconllnnly the next morniim Mop
pie and llappy Hrown started ont on
their In Ht shop-
ping tour before
O h r I b t m a s. As
they turned the
corner of the
main street they
came upon two
children, a boy
and a girl, poorly
clad, who stood
with their nosea
pressed against
the window of a
small ahop, where-
in were displayed
a few cheap dolla
and t o y a. They
were so engrossed
In their Inspection
of these artlclea
that they did not notice the man
and woman who stopped behind tlicm
and listened to their chtldlah prattle.
"There's a Nonh'a ar';," mild the
hoy. "The baby conld pln.v with (hut
a lot. There's anlnmls Inside, and if
she'd play with one rt a time It would
seem like new toys all the time."
"Yes, but there ain't no dolly In
there," said the irlrl. "She wnnts n
dolly. How much money vou got.
Hilly?"
Oaro'ully drawing his hands from
his pants pocket, the boy opened ids
tinners and slowly counted the Ow
pieces of change in his palm. "Thlrt.v-
two cents, Sissy. I haven't lost nnv
of It."
"Thirty-two cents! My. that's h lot
of money! A lot of money, Billy, and
It took u long time to earn It and stive
It. Itut—hut somehow It Isn't going to
buy much, Is It, Hilly?"
"No. hut thirty-two cents la, better
'ft
notice the
than nothing."
"Well, then, you could get the'^fonh's
ark; that's only twenty-flvo cents.
Then you'd still have money left—how
much, Billy?"
"Fifteen and ten, that's tweniy.flve,"
carefully separating a dime and Uiree
nickels from the rest of the little pile.
"See, Sissy, that leaves only seven
cents to get something for you."
"For me? Ho! Never mind me. I
don't want anything. I can dress the
dolly, you know, and play It's mine
when the baby's asleep. Maybe we
enn find something for mother. Oh,
Billy, If we could get one of those
green wreaths with the red berries—
wouldn't It be lovely!"
"Mother needs stockings more thau
anything else. Hcsldcs, the green
wreaths cost more than seven eenta,
apiece, I'm afraid. Come on; let's go
In and see what they Itnve got."
"Walt a min-
ute," said Happy
Hrown, putting
his hand on the
hoy's shoulder.
"Where do you
children live?"
The boy's hand
closed tightly on
the few plecea of
money.
"Hack on the
next street, near
the elevator. Why,
mister? Where are

"Never mind that. Come on, Hep

behind with the girl's hand in herg.
Their stay there was not long, but
was momentous for r,lily's mother nnd
her little brood. Happy Hrown had
made Billy wildly happy hy placing a
dollar hill In his hand ami another In
Sissy's, anil teiliiiK them to go on with
lh,,ir shopping. He had left
n yellow-hacked bill on the table un-
der a plate. As he and llepple turned
the corner in, pulled out a notebook
and noted down as he muttered to
himself: "<'onl, blankets, potatoes,
canned goods, apples-here, Hepple^
