When .Mr. ami Mrs. Luthei Elwood
agreed to separate thc.v let'i everything
pertuiulng to their sepaiati.ni iu 1'runic
Ehvood. the tins baud's blot tier, who
was a lawyer. This meant not only
that he was to procure the divorce
ment. but to arrange for the care or
the children, and he was given cart©
blanche to take any measure in the
premises he might see tit.
Frank placed all the blame for the
j trouble on bis brother, who had been
I somewhat gay during his bachelor
| hood and was not lucliued to give up
Uis attentions to other women after his
marriage. His wife was very rigid as
to the actions of her husband and
made him feel that he was too circum
scribed Frank endeavored to con
vince his brother that the home was
of far more importance than the pleas
ure to be derived from attentions to
any woman who would so far demean
herself as to accept them from another
woman's husband, and he had better
! accede to his wife's wishes and con
fine himself to her. Hut Luther de
clared that his attentions to other wo
men were harmless and lie did not
propose to be dictated to by a jealous
j woman.
Whereupon the lawyer laid down the
following plan for the couple's guid
ance: Both should leave the home and
reside elsewhere. The children were
to be left where they were under the
care of a woman to be provided for
the purpose. The father and mother
would be permitted to visit their off
spring once a month, the father on the
1st, the mother on the 15th. The law
yer agreed to procure the divorce as
soon as possible.
This plan was objected to by both
parties, whereupon Trunk Eltvood de
clared that he would have nothing to
do with the matter. But it was essen
tial that the care of the children be
provided for while the divorce pro
eeediugs were pending, and. since the
couple could find no one else on whom
they could agree to manage the affair,
they finally gave in and left it iu
Frank's bauds
In June Frank El wood informed his
brother and his sister-in-law that their
legal separation would be completed
in st\ months On the 20th of Decern
ber he notified them that the decree
would be granted early in Juuuary.
and he desired them to call at his of
the on the 2"d of December for the
purpose of making certain transfers of
property that had been agreed upon
ont of court. On the i'ld lie Informed
them that the papers would not be
ready for signature till after otUce
hour* the next day tJe therefore up
(pointed tLe meeting to take place at
their home ::t 5 p ni sharp
"Tusnorrcw evening"' exclaimed Lu
ther KIwoimI -Why. that's Christmas
eve."
"<Jooii gracious"' exclaimed Edith
Ehvood "The awful uiau. to briug us
• together at our old home for such >i
I purpose on Christmas eve!"
The attorney was called to the tele
I phone by both parties foi the purpose
of protesting against the place of meet
I tng. and both were answered that the
heating apparatus in the building
J where Frank had his office was out of
commission, that no other place was
I available, that a winter storm which
was raging rendered it necessary that
I some warm place should be selected
| and that the place provided would be
both warm and comfortable. This end
|ed the argument, and both the husband
I and wife gave a reluctant assent.
At a quarter to 5 Mrs. El wood ran
| -.ip the steps of what had been her
i home, rang the bell nud was admitted
i by a maid who had been iu iier employ
ever since ber marriage.
"Christine," she said, "1 bavi» an ap
I polutment here at 5 and have come
I ahead of time in order to see the chil
j dren."
I "Yes'm. I'll tell Mrs. Albright."
j The lady went into the living room
and stood before a fire blazing brightly
j on the hearth. The maid went upstairs
j and returned with a message from the
woman who bad the care of the chll
I dren that she had no orders from Mr.
Inr day.
[ Til is was. Indeed, a disappointment
The mother wiped away a tear, then
began pacing back and forth before
the fire till there was a ring at the
doorbell and her husband was ushered
Into the room. He bowed deferential
ly. but tiie wife did uot return his sa
lute. He took a seat by the fire, and
she sat down as far from him as pos
sible. Neither spoke till the clock >
Struck 5. when the husband remarked:
"Frank said we were to be punctual.
He is going to be late himself."
"He should be ashamed to bring us
together here, of all places, on Christ
mas eve."
"Perhaps tie did It tor tuy benefit
Being a bachelor, he doubtless under
stands thai a dub is no place for a
man at ChrlMuias time."
"One would suppose that this home.
Into which you brought me a happy
bride, would i>e tlie last place you
would wish to come on Christmas eve.
especially since you broke the prom
ises you then made."
"1 didn't break any promisee. It
was simply your Inordinate jealonsy
that rendered life unbearable. Tills
separation has been all your tault
"Not at all: it has been yours. But
we have uot met for recrimiuatiou.
"You are right. For my part. I am
content to await Frank's coning and
then have the wbole affair over with
forever."
"Yes, forever."
He drew a newspaper from his pock
et and began to read. She took up a
book. Several uiinutes ol silence pass
ed, when the uiaid appeared and said:
"Please, ma'am. Mrs. Albright has
Just had a telephone from Mr. Frank
to say that he can't come for halt an
hour. He says that to pass the time
you may both see the children, if you
"like."
"I'll go to them at once," said Edith.
"Mr. Frank said that they were to
be brought in here."
There was no need for further dis
cussion. for a racket was heard od the
landing above, and four youngsters,
the oldest a boy of eleven, the young
est a girl of four, came tumbling
dowustairs with shouts and whoops,
and. rushing Into the room, the boys
jumped into their mother's arms, the
girls into their father's.
| "Oh. mamma! We're so glad you've
come back for Christmas!" *
! "Oh. papa! We're so glad you've
come back for Christmas!"
"Aud we're so glad you're uot going
away any more too."
"Who told you that?" asked the fa
1 ther.
"Uncle Frank!"
By this time the children, In order
that they might caress both parents at
once, had drawn them so near together
that father, mother, boys and girls
were mingled in a single group.
"What have you gpt for me for
Christmas, mamma?"
"What have you got for me for
Christmas, papa?"
"1 want a hobbyhorse!"
"I want a drum!"
"I want a doll with a wax head and
light, curly hair and eyes that close
wheu she goes to sleep!"
These few requests do not express
the din thai greeted the parents. They
are merely given to enable the reader
to form some Idea of that din.
The father and tnothei gave each
other a meaning look.
"Fditb." said I lie former, "this Vs
Frank's doing He has doubtless sur
mised that I have learned that women
who don't care a snap of their fingers
for me are a mighty poor substitute
for this."
"And you're going to stay with us
for Christmas always? Say yes, man)
ma. Say yes. papa "
There was a ring at the doorbell.
A pained expression returned to the
faces of the husband and the wife.
Frank was coming with the papers
they were to sign. When he came In
tie stood at the doorway looking Into
.the room at the scene before him
Father and mother were in the center,
the children crowding around them.
"Frank, you rascal." said Luther,
"this is your doing."
"Weil. If it Is I never did a better
Job."
"It all came true. Uncle Frank,
didn't Itr
"What came true, dear?" asked the
mother.
"Why, t'ucie Frank told us that if
we could wait till Christmas be prom
ised that we should have yoa both
home again to stay ever so long."
"Uncle Frank is right, sweetheart"
said the father. "Our being away from
you so long is all papa's fault and be
won't ever do so any more. He prom
lses his little boys aud girls that"
This statement was received with a
clapping of hands and a shower of i
,_i nana An/ih s>ltllrl ettMiaorllno
"Where are yen going. Dncle Frank?"
called one of lln> children, seeing that
Frank El wood was making for the
door.
"I'm going to spend a bachelor's
Christmas all alone hy myself. If I
had such a home as this you had bet
ter believe I wouldn't do anything to
pull It down over my bend and over
the heads of a good woman and a lot
of Innocent children."
"Right yon are. Frank. But you're
not going to spend your Christmas
alone. You're going to spend It right
here in the home you've saved from a
permanent wreck."
The mother said nothing. She dared
not trust her voice to speak. She went
to Frank, put her arms around bis
neck and kissed him, while one of the
girls took Ills hat away from him. and
the youngest boy. seizing his cane, ca
pered around the room using It for a
horse.
Christine entered and announced din
ner.
"Dinner!" exclaimed Elwood. "1
thought we were brought here for an
other purpose than dinner Can it be
true that we are all to dine together
in our own home on Christmas eve
with our own children?"
"And f.'ncle Frank," pot in one of
the boys
"Did you provide the dinner. Frank?"
asked Mrs Elwood "I thought von
were rather given to providing essen
tials of another kind " —
"I had nothing to do with providing
this dinner, but I will admit I ordered
one for tomorrow "
That was the end of the troubles for
the Elwood family The Christmas
they spent united was made tin- more
delightful In contrast with the Christ
mas before, at which they were sepa
rated and tlielt sudden and unexpect
ed coining together
Btit the central figure of that Christ
mas celebration. I lie mighty hero, was
Cncle Frank, who really seemed to en
Joy it nil >i.s much as if the family t>e
longed to him. He is married now and
has children of his own. but he denies
that any Christmas in Ids own home
has bee^n happier than the one he spent
at 'li>- reunion of his brother's family.
