THE SENIOR {MAGNET 25 A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE Elizabeth Vensel Bobby walked slowly along the street tugging at a strap to the other end of which was tied a species of dog commonly known as cur. As Bobbie approached a group of boys and girls, the dog slunk along stealthily with his ears held down tight, for he had suffered much at the hands of the older boys. “We’re going to have turkey an’ cake an’ oh, everything for Christmas dinner,'' said one little girl. “Huh! that’s nuthin’, so are we and my dad got me a bran’ new sled,” answered up a boy proudly. “I.o, Bob, what are you going to get for Christmas?” “Oh, I don't suppose I’ll get anything. Aunt doesn’t believe in giving presents,” said Bobbie dolefully. “Why don’tcha’ write to old Santa and tell him to bring your aunt a kinder voice Bobbie?” said one little girl. “Bobbie—e! Bobbie! come here this minute and get me some coal,” called a shrill voice. “Yer going to ketch it now Bob.” “Naw', she’s always cross,” replied Bob. “Well, do what 1 told you then.” That night when all was quiet in Bobbie’s house, a little boy crept quietly down stairs and lit a light, lie looked at Jack and said, “You know, old sport, I believe I’ll write to Santa. He sat down on the floor beside the dog and after a long time he finally read this to him: “Dere Santa: “Will you pleese bring me 1 sled, 1 pr. skates, 1 dog collar and pleese dere Santa make Auntie kinder to me. Bobbie. “I’ve been a good boy.” Bobbie slipped upstairs again and stuck the letter, as he thought, in his pocket, but it really went on the floor. The next day as Bobie’s aunt was cleaning his room, she found the letter. “Poor little fellow', I may be a little cross to him. I must try and be kinder.” The night before Christmas, Bobbie had to go to bed early, and he wondered why. The next morning as Bobbie reached the foot of the stairs, he heard his aunt’s voice call to him from the parlor. “Merry Christmas Bobbie: come here a minute.” Bobbie w-ent into the parlor and there; w’onder of wonders! was a beautiful Christmas tree and everything he had asked for. But best of all, auntie gathered him up in her arms and showered his face with kisses. Later Bobbie confided to his friends, “You know 1 wrote a letter to Santa but I lost it. He musta’ knowed tho’ what 1 wanted for I got everything and lots more.”
