The Little Marcy. "I'he Tittle Marey !"" Jobn Burden smiled 4s he said'it to himself. Geraldine Marcy succumbing to the eraze and buying Christmas presents | He had supposed her al- most us immune to such frailities as Miimself, but there was no question that she had succumbed. Abrahams' great store had ens gulfed Burden, drawn him in and tossed him about among the bewilder. ng aisles with thousands of others like a chip in a whirlpool. He had come in search of his particular brand of drawing pencil. Presently he found himself drifting past the handker- chief counter, where the current of eager women shoppers fairly boiled. There he had seen the familiar little tailor-made figure, and his heart gave a throb of recognition. He had pass- ed close to her aad almost brushed ber shoulder as he struggled to free himself - from the entanglement of women. She had just completed her purchase. It was a heart-shaped box of handkerchiefs, the cover decorated with sprigs of holly. The clerk was banding her a card for the address--a Christmas card which would inevitably be recognized as coming from the store of the canny Abrahams, since one corner had been cut off. Burden worked his way to the exit and out into the crisp winter air, just fading into dusk. "The Little Marcy 1" he repeated again. Ife could not redoncile the Christmas frivoling with her daily air a dinner among Sg aithiing, cherry aetor-folk, that ma®®vup, with the exception of Miss Marcy and Himself, their boarding- house circle. She would sit there like a weary princess, 'engrossed in her own thoughts, the pifuant little face mask- ed by indifference, Occasionally the childish blckerings or equally childish display of vanity of the mummer-folk' brought a flicker of 'mischevous mirth to her eyés.. When Burden surprised | ! that Took "he. wondered whether he really understood the girl after all. Burden loitered in the street for a time before going home to dinner. They were crowded with eager holiday crowds. There was snow under foot, and an occasional flake was floating down. He had never seen so many smiling foces in the city before. He found himself smiling, too, and feeling vaguely excited, though he expe neither to buy nor to receive presents, * . » * any Every one was in high spirits at dinner, 'The actorfol had . been through a matinee and were soon to hurry back for the 'evening perform- ance, bat they babbled constantly of the Christmas tyee which was to be set up in the dining-room, "after the Even Miss Marcy had a light in her indifferent eyes, and a delicate color in her cheeks. Durden realized with a start that when she looked, like that she was pretty. He did not, feel in the mood to go out, so he retired to his room with a book. But in half an hour the land- lady came knocking. She -demanded hig help to set up the tree, decorate it, and arrange the various presents. "We'll surprise them poor things she said, with more kindness than grammar; "they'll be all tired out when they come in, and it's quite a task to dress a tree.' So they set up the tree, decora it with candles and gewgaws : gnd started to arrange the packages. Th sight of a familiar one attracted his attention. It was a light heart-shap- ed box, decorated with sprigs of holly, The card on it--a card with one core ner lopped ofi--bore these words : "To Miss Geraldine © Marcy, with best wishes for a merry Christmas." Burden excused himself abruptly. Donning hat and coat he went out in- to the street. So she had to buy her No friends to send her trinkets, no joyous look- ing forward to the holiday season ! In the glow of pity for her loneliness he quite forgot that he was similarly situated, and that there would be no present on the tree: for him. 'He came to a resolution swiftly. It was to buy 'the litle Marcy" every- like that, scemed incongruous for Miss even, of handkerchiefs, and all its purchase] implied--yea "the little Marcy" would down determined to stay until " fonesomeness after all. : 3 4 FRG BAI i THE DAILY aR FRIDAY.

When her mame was called again, a few minutes later, only Burden noted the start of surprise. When the great box of flowers were placed in her arms by the courtly Bill, 'there was a little clatver of applause. The ac tors, kcen of perception where senti ment is concerned, saw something out of the ordinary in the glance of misty brilliancy she turned swiitly on Burden. As for that young man his heart bumped suffocalingly for a se cond of two, How did she = know 50 quickly snd so surely i was he who remembered her ?° How pretty she was! They encountered each other in the hall when it was all over, and went up the stairs together. With an ab- surd sense of elation Durden was carrying another copy of tne book he had bought for Miss Marcy. It had been a wonderful evening--and that was not the least wonderful feature #f" it~that she should not only have kuown and loved the book, but guessed unerringly that he knew and loved it, too. \ At the first landing she paused and faced him, opposite her own door.
