At length, after what seemed a very tong waiting, some one was coining. He stood up and looked eagerly to­ ward the doorway. The portiere was thrust aside, and In walked Teddy™-. 'Teddy, who, in Fletcher’s opinion, was the worst pill in the whole box as far as staying power and keen observa­ tion were concerned. "Hello, Teddy," he said, not very cordially. 4,1 thought you had gone to .spend Christmas with your grandma." "I didn't go." said Teddy; . "Do you expect a visit from Santa Claus tonight?" “Oh. I s’pose so." wearily. "I’d just like to sop him. though,1’’ His manner grew more animated. "Why, what would you do?" "I’d tell him what I think of him." "And what is that?” "Oh, that i tbiuk he’s a fraud1. Pre­ tending he comes in a sleigh when the ground ha? been bare for a month! And reindeers too! Who dock be think Is going to believe that?

And yet I must say it, for i may never have another chance.” She was looking a t him. Iter startled eyes dark and luminous ia the star­ light. “Perhaps you do not need to say it,” she said gently, “Do you mean that you understand without my telling you?” he asked eagerly, "Yes," she answered very low.
