seemed to be bowing to them with

"Open it. daddy. Open it." "Why--why, what in the world-" "Open it, daddy_ Its for you. It`s

from us to you."

"Oh, please huny and open it.

daddy,"

And there it was. Seven shining

golf clubs. Lucy was saying. "Wc've been saving for a long time. Every time you gave us money I‘d try only tn use about half. And the children helped." .'

“I shovelled walks and I runnrd

errands," Junior screamed. proudly.

“I helped. too, dldn't I, mamma?

Dldn’t I? I put things away and and I-" Sisters little _up~turned face pleaded. _

Charlie just looked at them.

"Don‘t you like it, Daddy?" Junior shrieked terror-stricken,

"Of course. Oh, of -course." Charlie choked. Ile turned to

Lucy. "To think of you--of all of you, doing this for me.”

"It's the only thing I ever heard

you say you wanted," Lucy explain- cd practically. She turned the baby toward the tree. "Baby, . see the

pretty tree?" she inquired gently.”

Sister and Junior rushed lor the tissue-wrapped packages. Furlously they began to tear off ribbons and .ff~nl:<.

her fathers and mother's names. By the way mother, what's your maiden name? You never told me. Ol course, I‘ve heard Dad call you Bertha. but I don't know what your

"Never mind, Jean," said her mo-

ther nervously, “but what is Loulse's fatherb name?-and her mother-'s," she added. "Her fatl-ler's name is Tom Mar-

Mary Jonas."

Just then her mother slipped out

to the porch where Matthew Brown was cutting kindiing.

Jean was pulled by her mother's

actions, but seeing the blank sheet of pdper lying enticingly on the ta.- ble, she got a pencil and, forgetting everything else, began her letter. Presently she stopped writing and remarked to the Maltese cat, which was rubbing its head against Jeen‘s ankle.

“Mother didn't say I could xvrite

to her, but I gues if she had any objections. elm would have said so.”

By the time Jean- had finished

the letter, her parents had come into the kitchen.

“She wants me to send her m_v

picture." Jean told them. "Which one will I send? That one ol the three ol us?"

"Yes, I think that‘s the best one

of you," replied Mrs_ Brown.

Jean put the picture and lcticr

into the envelope and sealed it. 'I‘he'1'ollowing Monday morning, in high spirits, she gave it to the mail man.

About two weeks later Jean came

skipping home from the post-oiiice with s. fat letter in her hand.
