A LITTLE RUNAWAY

F COURSE! there
was enow newly
fallen — What
would Christmas
be without that?
And sleigh-bells
all a tlnkie and
cheery greetings
and gladsome
Bmlles on every
hand and there
were clear twink-
ling stars 'now
above the house-
tops looking down
from a deep blue
sky ahd of course
it was nothing but hustle and hustle
in most places and all the necessary
hullabaloo that makes Christmas the
adorable holiday that it Is — but — and
here is where my story comes in -On
a quiet street Where the better
Class of houses stood a trifle await
from the shopping district and the
Street car lines a little face 'was
pressed against the window-pane and
two large tears stole down over a
straight little nose Other little girls
were joyfully looking forward to this
happy season but Elizabeth Rockerby
felt sadly at a loss and out of place
as she stood in her black Velvet and
lace in her grandmother’s huge draw-ihg-room
She bad overheard the par-lor-maid
and the Upper hoUse-njaid
In a whispered conversation
"The poor darlint" Nora the house-
maid had said "The- poor darlintl
And is it Christmas the little one’s
after havin'? Never a bit of it! Don’t
ye believe it! Oh the poor lamb!

TbInk''of Cook’s-Ruby rigged out
like that!” said Ellen ‘ Do you think
she’d stand it for a' minute? Not ou
your life She’d be down under the
table pulling the cat’s tail and she’d
be teasing her mother for goodies
when she got tired of that! But this
pale-faced lftlle she’s passed from one
Calculating relative to another till
she haSht got h speck of zzlp left
In her Do you know what Ruby’d
do? She’d run away!” and Ellen-
laughed outright at the thought
It was here that Elizabeth had slip-
ped into the window recess her pulses
throbbing ' "
If Cook’S little girl Could run away
why shouldn’t she?
Elizabeth had npt known It could
he so cold When one got out Into the
night but the stars had a friendly
twinkle and the shop-windows looked
so pretty with their tinsel drapinga
hnd red paper bells tfiat she almost
forgot the cold as she went eagerly
from one gay collection of toys to an-
other an felt the companionship of
children as she rubbed shoulders with
ragged newsboys and pinched-faced
little girls Who gazed quite as eagerly
as she at the Christmas dolls hold-
ing outstretched arms to the passers-
by ' ’
"Are they— are they to sell?” she
hsked timidly ot a little girl who
held her baby sister by the hand and
stamped her feet to keep them warm
- “Sakes alive yes!” said the other
In astonishment "Ain’t that one wltli
the black 'curls too cute for any-
thing!” she added gazing at It with
wistful eyes
I “Could we go la and — and buy It?”
asked Eluabth earnestly
“ ’Course wh could if We bad the
1 tainety-eight cents”
! “Come on then!” said Elizabeth
! and grasping her incredulous compan-
I ton by the hand she plunged into the
j store “The doll with the black
'Curls!” she stammered “Itoy I buy
1 It for this little girl?”
"’Sure” said the salesman
Elizabeth fished a dollar bill out of
her little chain purse and watched
curiously as the
Child lifted the
doll tenderly in her
arms and walked
out forgetting in
her delight to say
“thank you” and the
baby siBter toddled
after
Out ih the street
again Elizabeth saw
two small boys with
their faces glued to
the window of the
beat shop Where
sticks of candy lay
In fascinating rows
and chocolates and
heaped in pyramids
fudge and moiasses-cahdy In between
She stopped and without any hes-
itation this time gaVe them each a
Cent
Her chain purse was empty now
her exhilarating occupation gone and
she Btood a forlorn little figure in hef
ermine and velvet on the corner ot
the crowded street
She had remained thus for some lit-
tle time when she beard a qutek step
behind her ahd she was quickly grasp-
ed by strong but kindly hands and
swung on to the steps
"So-ho!" said a big mas who had
come up the street "ft's Mistress
Elizabeth Itockerby! What are you up
to Betsy ia-ne?”
- ‘'Cousin Dob!” gasped Elizabeth
'“'Tes ’Cousin Bob' and now ‘cry
Vour trail’ little sister!”
“I — 1 ran away” f altered Elizabeth-
''''"Well come along in and I’ll intro-
duce you to tlie cousins” said Cousin
Bob cheerfully and then I’ll 'phone
’em up and 'tell them that It’s out
turn to trnve you”
And Elizabeth struggled her finger
happiiy into her big cousin's hands as
be scepped forward a new life
