And there it was. Seven shining
golf clubs. Lucy was saying. "Wc've
been saving for a long time. Every
time you gave us money I‘d try only
tn use about half. And the children
helped." .'
“I shovelled walks and I runnrd
errands," Junior screamed. proudly.
“I helped. too, dldn't I, mamma?
Dldn’t I? I put things away and
and I-" Sisters little _up~turned
face pleaded. _
Charlie just looked at them.
"Don‘t you like it, Daddy?" Junior
shrieked terror-stricken,
"Of course. Oh, of -course."
Charlie choked. Ile turned to
Lucy. "To think of you--of all of
you, doing this for me.”
"It's the only thing I ever heard
you say you wanted," Lucy explain-
cd practically. She turned the baby
toward the tree. "Baby, . see the
pretty tree?" she inquired gently.”
Sister and Junior rushed lor the
tissue-wrapped packages. Furlously
they began to tear off ribbons and

her fathers and mother's names.
By the way mother, what's your
maiden name? You never told me.

"Never mind, Jean," said her mo-
ther nervously, “but what is
Loulse's fatherb name?-and her
mother-'s," she added.
"Her fatl-ler's name is Tom Mar-
shall"-here Mrs. Brown gave a lit-
tle start-"und her mother was
Mary Jonas."
Just then her mother slipped out
to the porch where Matthew Brown
was cutting kindiing.
Jean was pulled by her mother's
actions, but seeing the blank sheet
of pdper lying enticingly on the ta.-
ble, she got a pencil and, forgetting
everything else, began her letter.
Presently she stopped writing and
remarked to the Maltese cat, which
was rubbing its head against Jeen‘s
ankle.
“Mother didn't say I could xvrite
to her, but I gues if she had any
objections. elm would have said so.”
By the time Jean- had finished
the letter, her parents had come
into the kitchen.
“She wants me to send her m_v
picture." Jean told them. "Which
one will I send? That one ol the
three ol us?"
"Yes, I think that‘s the best one
of you," replied Mrs_ Brown.
Jean put the picture and lcticr
into the envelope and sealed it.

high spirits, she gave it to the mail

skipping home from the post-oiiice
