Once it had been the cabin of his old schooner, Skim- ner; now it was the only home Cap- tain Jimmy and his cat Vixen had. In the summer time he sold fish and clams and lobsters to the summer cot- tagers, but in the winter he had hard work to keep the little cabin warm and find food for himself and Vixen. It was the day before Christmas, and the beach was rough with ice. "Snow! said Captain Jimmy, as he left his little house and went up to- ward the village. His pipe was be tween his teeth, but he was not smok- ing--he was out of tobacco. He smiled sadly because he knew that he would have a lonely Christ- mas. He had no wife or children, and he was very much alone. The poor are often forgotten. By the time Captain Jimmy had bought some flour and salt pork and a little coffee it was dark and snowing fast. So when he heard the sound of children crying he stopped in surprise, "Hullo!" shouted Captain Jimmy, and the crying stopped at once. In | another minute he almost tumbled over two little children who were running along the beach path. "Heave. ho!" called Captain Jimmy, | and he put out a long arm and gath- | ered the little ones close to him. "What are you doing here?" he shout- ed, for the wind was screaming now. They tried to explain, but Captain Jimmy couldn't dnderstand a word they said, they cried so much, and at last, half dragging, half carrying them, he hurried them into the warm little cabin where he lived. When the kerosene lamp was lighted | the two children stopped crying and smiled at Captain Jimmy. "Are you Thanta Claus?" one lisped, and the other little girl, who looked exactly like her, giggled and clung to Captain Jimmy's big hand. "I love oo, Misther 'hanta Claus," she whispered. - "Bless your sweet hearts," cried Cap- | | tain Jimmy, his eyes full-of tears, "I | | guess I'll have to be Santa Claus to | night! I can never get you home to | night in this howling blizzard!" The two little girls smiled brightly | and took off their red cloaks and knit- | ted caps and leggings and rubbers. "We're lost," said one of the twins, and she told a long story of how they had gone to walk with nurse, who had suddenly run away and left them in the woods. ernoon." "What are your names? Where do you live?' asked Captain Jimmy as he pushed them up to the table before two Me | people hurried through the snow and | Jimmy, with his empty pipe between "We hollered, but she | wouldn't come back," said Linnie sad- | ly.

By and by after the twins had said their prayers and were sound asleep on Captain Jimmy's bed while Vixen pur- | red at their feet, Captain Jimmy walk- ed the fioor and whistled a tune. "I reckon that Santa Claus could never get down my little stove pipe?' he chuckled, "so I'll just have to fll those two little stockings myself?!'
