14 PEMETIC iiitrrarg ORPHANNS AT' CHRISTMAS It was a cold dreary ,day in December. The sky was full of black heavy clouds, which told of a visit coming from snow sprites. The wind blew sharply from the northeast and the pedestrians held their coats a little closer and hurried along the .street seeking shelter in homes and stores. Jack was hurrying along with no desti- nation in mind, because he had no place to call home. He went to the door of several houses but they looked cold and unfriendly. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he faced the sharp wind. He decided to go to a back door of some store and get shelter from the snow, which wa.s by now sifting slowly down upon the frozen brown earth. Billy, another poor fellow, was absently walking along a back alley. He was an orphan who had been left to shift for him- in the warm self. This was easy to do summer months when he could sleep un- der the stars at night and get food in the rich people's back yards. He wandered to a back door, but that also was cold and forlorn. It was the home where he had once lived. He went -to the same back porch that Jack was sitting on. The two little orphans sat and talked be- tween shivers. They told each other their history and decided to hang together. With Christmas only two days away they had nothing to which to look for- ward. They had very little to give each other for a Christmas present, but each went a different way, in search of some- thing for this purpose, with an agreement to meet at this back door at dusk. They would spend the night together. At dark they returned with nothing but a little food in their stomachs. The next day there was about a foot of snow on 'the ground. This was to help only one person, that being Santa Claus. They spent the day .searching for food. With empty stomachs they returned to the back porch to spend Christmas Eve. At midnight, Santa Claus, on his Way rto the home of a rich little girl, saw two lit- tle brown dogs sleeping in the cold. As he turned the light on them they awak- ened. He patted them for a second and then went on. After he had driven his team a mile, he stopped in front of a large, wealthy-looking house. He descended the chimney and found a note pinned on stockings. Two little girls wanted a dog. Poor Santa for a minute was discouragedg suddenly his jolly little face was lighted with smiles. He climbed the chimney and hurried to his sleigh. He would drive back and get those two cold little dogs. As he drew the robes over his feet he felt something warm against his gloved hand. He turned the light under the robe and saw the two little dogs sleeping warmly. Little did they know what they had done for themselves. Santa Claus took them under his coat and went inside. A little mat was placed under each stocking, and the dogs were placed on them. The next morning two little girls hugged two delighted w.arm dogs. One had a red bow on a new collar, and the other had a green bow on a new collar.
