He has martyrs crown, and he had
all the traits of Il martyr He was truth
and simplicity personitied, and unselfish to

until, after he was shot at, we insisted
upon his having bodyguard do not

to the sounds, and Dolan vhistled for

But Martha found the invalid sitting
up in bed, crimson with excitement, and
trembling violently.
"Martha, who are these men ?" she
cried. "What is this story the children
are telling about Santa Claus, and papa
coming home? Martha, tell me quick.
Ralph Ralph !"
He was there, holding her fast in his
arms, his kisses falling on her lips, and
her hair. JOY does not kill, and the rap
ture only made her peacefully happy in
the strong embrace she had never hoped
to feel again. The children soon learned
to love the bearded stranger, but Ellie
from the first showed strong partiality
for Toms blue eyes and blonde whis-
kers.
For ten years he was her Santa Claus
and dear friend, and then one Christmas
eve when chimes were ringing from the
church bells, Ralph and Ella Wentz
gavetheirblue-eyed daughter to brighten
the home of her patient, faithful lover,
Tom Bayley, who declared his love dated
from the hour when they selected wax
dolls and tea sets on the Christmas eve
when Ralph found his wife.
