beautiful scarlet and gold book on her knee, and her mother standing by
laughing at her amazed face. As to Miss Baby, she was crying as hard as
she could in her crib.

"Mother!" Jem cried out, "have you really come home so early as this,
and--and," rubbing her eyes in great amazement, "how did I come down?"

"Don't I look as if I was real?" said her mother, laughing and kissing
her. "And doesn't your present look real? I don't know how you came down,
I'm sure. Where have you been?"

Jem shook her head very mysteriously. She saw that her mother fancied she
had been asleep, but she herself knew better.

"I know you wouldn't believe it was true if I told you," she said;
"I have been BEHIND THE WHITE BRICK."
