| Christmas Gift |

S> By EILEEN DRENNAN I
"Mamma, isn't papa coming boine
for Christmas this year?"
"No. dear; papa can't come home for
Christmas. We'll have to wait anoth
er year."
"Oh. mamma: that's what you said
last year, the year before and every
year! I don't believe he will ever
come."
The mother kissed her little girl and
turned awa.v to hide her tears. She
had but faint hope that iter husband
would return to her for a number of
years, and when he did he would be
broken in spirit if uot in health.
Evan Walker had been a bookkeeper
iu a bank. One day the cashier went
to the president and informed hlua
that a shortage of over $40,000 had
been discovered iu the funds. Asked
if he suspected any oue of a defalca
tion the cashier replied that he did
not. but he was going over t lie books
in which the shortage had been carried
with a view to discovering the cause.
Walker had done the bookkeeping
which covered the ease, but W alter
was above suspicion.
A week later Vail, the cashier. in
formed the president that he h:i«l had
an expert a<v«»untant at wott. • »ii the
books, had traced the del:iir:i>'> back
several years .iiul had learned just how
it had been coveted up. Since no oue
but Walker had had anything to do
with the work in iptestion it was Im
possible that any oue else could have
effected the embezzlement.
Walker was accused. There was a
long drawn out trial, at the end of which
half the jury belie veil him guilty and
the other half were in doubt. A com
promise was effected. 1 hey agreed to
tiud a verdict of guilty and refiommend
mercy. The judge reduced the sen
tence from the limit of twenty to ten
years.
Walker was innocent of the charge,
nud there was not sutiicient evidence
of his guilt to convict him. But there
was a weak spot in his case that he
had speculated in stocks and had lost
some money. On this evidence, to
gether with the fact that he had had
exclusive care of the bank's books, the
compromise verdict was reached.
When the husband and father was
removed to the penitentiary his chil
dren were told that ho was going on a
journey from which he would uot re
turn for a long while. This fabrica
tion their mother was obliged to keep
up. dreading the time when they would
grow to an age when it would be im
possible to keep"their father's disgrace
I from them longer.
I The Christmas season was the most
trying period of all for her. The chil
dren nlwajs reminded her that she had
promised them their father should be
I with them, and she had wearied of in
venting excuses for not fulfilling her
promise. On this occasion when her
child had reminded her of the promise
made the year before she gave up try
ing to frame an excuse.
A few days later Mrs. Walker took
up a newspaper, and iter eyes lit on an
announcement. Rushing from the room,
she ran to her children, folded them iu
her amis aud covered them with
kisses.
"What is it. mauuna?"
"Papa is coming home."
t "When?"
"1 dou't know."
"For Christmas?"
"Possibly. He may come ior uonst
mas. tbouirli he may not get here by
that time. Cut lie will come, and he
will not come broken iu spirit, but
holding his head high"—
"Why. mamma, what can yon
mean:"
"I forgot myself. I am so happy that
I don't know what I am saying. Oh,
my darlings, you don't know what a
good thins; has happened:"
Tile mother tore herself away from
her children, realizing that she had
said too much and dreading lest she
should say more. When she had read
again and again what she had seen in
the newspapers and given herself time
to regain something of her composure
—her sadness had disappeared—she re
turned to her children and. folding
the three of them iu her nruis. said:
"We know that papa is coming home,
though we don't know that he will
come for Christmas. Nevertheless we
must make our preparations. Each
one of us must have a gift for papa,
aud we must have a nice dinncntnd
holly and evergreen wreaths and every
thing that will give us a merry Christ
. , mas."
"But. mamma," said Georgje, "sup
pose papa doesn't come on time?"
A slight shadow passed over the
mother's face, but she overcame the
feeling that produced it.
"In that case, Georgie. we will defer
our Christmas till papa comes."
"And not have any Christmas at all
on Christmas." put in the youngest,
. "not hang up any stockings? What
| will Santa Claus think when he comes
and fiuds no stockings ready for him?"
"Well, sweetheart, we'll have to do
the best we can. We'll have two
Christmases—one on Christmas day,
the othe^vhen papa comes."
This dra not please the children, at
all. and they agreed that their mother
idnst write papa that he must be sure
I
to come by Christmas" without fail,
for if he did not Christmas would be
all spoiled.
j That same afternoon Mrs. Walker
appeared in the office of Hawkins &
i Spencer, attorneys, and was admitted
to Air. Spencer's private office.
"You hare seen a notice oh Vall's
arrest, Mr. Spencer?"
"1 have, and 1 congratulate you most
heartily."
"This will free my husband, I sup
pose?"
"Most assuredly."
"When ?"
"That 1 can't say. Vail has been ar
rested for embezzlement This in time
will undoubtedly prove that he and not
your husband was guilty of that other
stealing which he managed to fix on
your husband. If be can be induced to
confess to that we can get a pardon
from the governor."
Mrs. Walker looked disappointed.
"1 will see Vnll." continued the law
yer. "and learn what may be expected
from him. Since I defended your hus
band 1 may have some weight In the
matter by promising to use my Influ
ence in making Vall's sentence as light
as possible."
Mrs. Walker left him and the next
I day re<-eived a telephone message from
him that the cashier had confessed that
he was guilty of both deficiencies and
would so plead. He had carried the
losses in the accounts by going to the
bank iu the night and "doctoring" the
books.
It now rested with the governor of
the state to pardon Walker, which was
the only way his release could be ef
fected An application was at once
made to that effect, and the head of
the commonwealth promised to look
Into the matter. He consulted the
I state attorney, who also agreed to look
j into the matter. But the state attor
j uey had a great many cases to look
I into and -intrSf take them up in turn.
Meanwhile the Walker family were
making preparations for a Christmas
celebration to be finer than any Christ
mas they had ever spent. The gifts
for pnpn occasioned the most consid
eration. for there were few articles
that would please him. However, with
the mother's assistance the list was
completed, and every child had some
thing to offer the returned father.
But Christmas was drawing near,
and there were no signs of action on
the part of the governor in the matter
of the pardon. Mrs. Walker made fre
quent applications to Mr. Spencer, who
did what he could to hasten the mat
ter, but was unable to get any satis
faction as to the date the pardon would
be granted.
One day Spencer called on Mrs.
Walker to report progress. Georgie
was iu an adjoining room, unknown to
his mother, and heard Spencer tell her
mother that he had been to the state
capital and seen Governor Browu. who
hud told him that It would be impossi
ble that Walker should be released be
fore Christmas because there was not
time to remove the legal obstacles In
the way.
The overhearing of this statement
quite broke Georgie's heart. He was
naturally a reticent little chap and said
nothing to his brothers and sisters
about their father not being at home
for Christmas, but his little brain was
active. He had heard of children writ
ing letters for gifts. Why should he
not write to this Governor Browu to
let bis papa come home in time for
Christmas? So be sat down and wrote
as follows:
Dear Govncr Brown—We expect to
have a bully Crismas, but we cant unles
papa comes home to spend it with us. J
wish you wood give him to ni«i for a
j Crismas present. I would thank you ever
so mutch. Tours trooly,
GKORGE WALKER.
{ Georgie addressed his letter. "Gov
i eruor Browu, the Capital." which prac
| t lenity w as as good an address ns could
i have been used. Georgie didn't know
| where the capital was, but the post
oftice officials did, and they also knew
till alxvut Governor Brown. On the
morning of the governor's receipt of
the letter he telephoned the state at
torney for Information as to- Evan
Walker. The reply came that It could
not he taken •<> before "next week."
I "1 have a letter," replied ihe gover
i uor. "froui Walker's little boy. asking
\ me to lc! liL= father come home tor
Ch.istiiws, Tliis one gift 1 propose to
ii'iikc this year, and if you ever expect
another favor from me you'll have to
i remnA.i. -ill legal obstacles In the way
j of my doing so."
"Ail right, governor." was the reply.
"I'll attend 10 the matter immediately."
The state attorney got busy at once,
for politically he was nothing without
the governor, and in very quick time
he presented to the governor papers
that enabled him to issue a pardon to
Evan Walker which enabled the ward
en of the penitentiary to set him free.
On the afternoon of the day before
Christmas .Mrs. Walker was at the pen
itentiary to accompany her husband to
his borne. Walker's vindication, taken
with his freedom, was a cause of ex
qnisite relief and happiness both for
him and his wife. As for the children,
they only knew that after a long, long
absence they had their father with
them for Christmas.
The parents were received ..with
shouts of merriment by the children,
who climbed all over their father. The
first gift bestowed on thrit happy Christ
mas was a silver watch sent through
his mother to Georgie as his "other"
Christmas gift from the governor.
So passed the first really merry
Christmas the family had spent and
the first they had spent together in a
number of years. And it was the
dawn of a new era In their lives. So
great was the sympathy for Evan
Walker that he was restored to his
positlijn and advanced rapidly as some
atonement for the injustice that had
been done him. ; »
