liow We Bought ilur

Christmas Presents

By ELLERY NYLE

[Copyrigltt, 1904, by C. B. Etherlngton.]

OHN and I were married and

went to housekeeping just after

Christmas. Juoéin didu't earn very big wag then, und, nl-

though our needs were not as many as they are now, still they were needs and had to be paid for, so we decided to begin in n small way.

We rented only one room, but in Chl-

cago the rent for one room was as much ns for it Whole house in thc lit- tle country village where I came front. How we did enjoy furnishing that room! It was 'n large room, and one corner of it, where my cupboard and my oil stove were, I cut-tained oi! for the kitchen, and there was plenty of space left for the folding bed and the few clutirs which we had.

Our wttlia looked bitre. I had only

one picture, a branch of lllncs, and they looked so natural you could al- most smell them.

"We must buy some plctures,” said

John.

“Not just yet," said I. “Wait s lit-

tle. We cnn’t get everything at once." And the next dny when John came home trorn his work he stopped in _tba door in surprise and delight. I bac' tacked here and there on the wnli cius ters of bright colored autumn lenvet which I had gathered and pressed tht full before.

“Don’t you think now we can wnii

till next year for pictures, Juhn'1"»l asked.

"Why, it’s ten times prettier that

pictures, Susie," he exclaimed as ht caught me in his arms.

“And it cost only 5 cunts for tht

tucks,” said I.

It is surprising how little can please

us when we have but little. I do be lieve we enjoyed those bright leaves better than $15 worth of pictures.

Well, we got along swlmmingly. By

thinking n little before we bought we rnnde John’s wages cover everything. We agreed together that we would noi buy n single article tlll we had the money to pay for it. _Sometimes we had to go without things we wanted for sevcrttl weeks. but waiting for them made them worth nll the more.

After John had gone to his work and

my home tasks were all done I would sit nt my sewing nlono and keep think-4 ing. I kept thinking nhend quita s way, ns inr nhcttd ns next Cltrlatlnns. John and I had never had ti Christmas together. There were some things that I wanted to get, und wouldn’t it make a merry Christmas if I coufd get thcm then? How could I manage it? And I kept on thinking about it duy after day.

John was in the habit of getting up

early and going to market for me while I got brcitkfnst, and he would often bring home twice ns much as I knew what to do with.

"Why, John, we can’t eat all thntl

Why did you get so much?" I would say.

“0h, ittlooked so good it mnde me

hungryi Yes, we can ent it ali. l‘m

as hungry ns a bear."

Ons evening I told John that if he

would give me $3.50 a week I would furnish the table with that and do the

mnrketlug myself.

"Why, it costs us more than that

now, Susie! Three dollars and a half is only enough for one peraon‘s board!"

exclaimed John.

"Well, we are one, sren’t we, John!"

"Yes, but we have two mouths."

"Weil, I’ll agree to till them both

with $8.50." "

"'I‘hen here it is,” said John. "and

yon may begin tomorrow morning," and he _handed me out $8.50,‘but he looked lncredulous. I spent 25 cents out of it the next

day and less than that the day follow-¢

and at the and of the week I had

oft.

doaa it hold

handed

sometimes less, and on one or two oc- (-nsifmg I spent more than the $3.50 when we had company, but nearly cv- erv wool; I managed to keep some ot' itband put it in the savings bunk. Wt had enough to cnt too. Did I httve ev erythilig I wuutctl? Of course I diiln’t Tltcre was »mttuy tt nicc thing that l liked that I dltiu‘t get, but you know you cttn’t eat your cnkc and have it too. 'We huvc to tlcny ottt'.~:c|v0s in or der to ttccotnplislt our curls in nnytltluu und I was none the worse oil` for tioiuy without.

Onc evening ns John lighted his cigar

und ltcgutt to rettil his pnpct' I said:

“.Ioltu, we’vc bcctt ieu1'ni\tg_)1ow ti.

live better sittcc \vo`vc known one-i other, ttud I‘ve been \votttioritt_; if-if l dzlroil to nsk-wlt_\‘ you sntokc':"

“liecitttse I’m tt fool. Strain." bl\l\'i€t

out .Iohu and tltrcw his cigar into thi grate. I wits frigltttructl ut what I lmu douc, and John wont on:

“I know sntokiug is no ctt1‘tltl,\' bon?"

fit to me. I know it mnlaés me disgust

. 1;,

_,-‘s» ._ __ ,»

"amonnsn fn A soon, snsm,” ing to you. Don't deny it. I‘ve seen you wipe your mouth on the sly utter I’ve kissed you." I slipped my hand into his. "John,"

snitl I, “you have one cigar left in your pocket. Give that to me. Promise me that this cignr' shall be the tirat ouc you smoke, and when you want to tunokc nnti cnn’t do without any longer cotne to me, and you slmli have it.” "‘I’li do it,” said John, und he banded me the cigar, with glistening eyes. "Susie, you cnu snva a man ft any- thing cnn." And we clasped hands on it and senicd it still closer than that.

I have that cigar yet, and six years

have passed. _ '

We tnlked it over further, and I pro-

posed that John should hund me the amount he had been in the habit of spending for cigars each day aa long its he could go without, and he agreed to do it. I did not toll him what I wanted to do with itl So every day he gave me 10 cents,

and I put it snrredly away, and when- ever it amounted to a dollar I put it In the sttvlngs bank. . ' Well, the months went by till Ds-‘ centlmr, and tho Saturday before Christmas I wt-ut to the hunk and Irew out my nnmll dc-posltsul had kept two sccov.nts~the cigar fund and i the table fund, I called them. The cigar fund wus just $20.40, und my tn- ble fund was $21.32. Could I believe my own eyes! It fairly made pie dill). Over |60 to spend for Ohrlatmni Till! was what had been drsantiilt lbiillf 001'

_,_l

I Joint uevcr como? At last I heard his istep. How his foot drugged! What ' could bc the untttcr? q “Do you know next Monday is

Tltriztttttus?" nsicotl John gloomliy. “I do!" I replied in so jubilant n soicc that hc turned und looked nt me. “Susic, I wish I were rlch."' “\\'h_v, Joint, t1rcn't we comfortable, ind isn't it better to cnjoy what we

lutve not?"

John still looked gloomily into tho smite. “Brown stopped me tonight to :how me a Cltristmus present he has bought for his wife, tt bcnutlful gold tvtttt-h Ile luis been saving up monev

. » 5 »

tlltristnuts prcscitt if ituybotly docs, but sec how much I have to buy one with," and ltc ltittct-ly tossorl his scant purse ittto tny litp, “not quite $1.50,"

“But, Joint!" and I laughed in his

fttcc. I coultlu’t hold buck any longer. I threw tnysoli' into his nrtus and rltowed him both my hands full of enoucy. “’i‘ltls, John, is what you dill not smoke, and this is what we dltl :tot ent. We are rich, John! We don't wwe n cent. We have tt month's rcnt .tml coal paid for in advance, und wc have tite whole of $50.72 to spend for Cltristmtts!" ` John looked nt the money, then at tue. He couldn't speak for n minute; then he said, "Susie, you’re it brick!"

“I think for the coming year I would

"Tltut will make $25 more saved," I

laughedu Then I asked, "John, are -you sorry you gave up smoking last winter?" John drew me close to him aa he sa-

swered, "Susie, you have made this Christmas _worth a thousand times more tg me than a years smoking."

“Not I, John. I couldn't have dons

it if you hadn't quit smoking." t “And I couldn’t have quit smoking ii I hndn‘t had you."
