A CHRISTMAS LEGEND.
CHAPTER l.

1t was Christmas eve, in the oldon
DAYS: the wind was signing round the
bic house on the northeast coast of
England; the snow fell thcNy and
sadly; it was a hard, bitter winters
night.
Time had been when the wind would
only have heightened the genial glow
of the Mandy hearth, AMI given a
kecnel relish to the Beverlie festivities.
But Mandy Hall had changed from the
grand old house where every traveller
was welcome, into poyerty-stricken
place. which people ayoi ,cd with sor-
rowful shakugs OF the head. Hugh
Beyerle. the owner had gradually
come down from his high estate, and
at the time we introduce him he was
poor as the lord Of manor could pos
sibly be.
Four persons sat round the fire in
the great diniag-room Of Manly Hall
on this long past Christmas eve of
our story: sat in the uncertain light of
two quaint oil lamps that stood upon a
ponderuus oaken bench. The light
played upon the group in a lusirous
glimmcr throwing mp the picturesque
figures in sharp relief against the heavy
shadows that hung about the dark
stone walls.
