That to impose taxes for any other purpose

Fifty monks before the altar knelt 70 say the

emn words they said,
al their thoughts were on the dainties for

Much they murmured 1t the Abbot for his

Roeed and cassocked, from the convent City
friars took their way
Downward through the holy stiffness Of the
blessed Christmas day;
Black against the drifted snow banks showed
the figures as they went
Mach they looked like birds of rspine on an
evil errand bent.
Birds of rescue, not of rspine. were the
blsck-robed brotherhood:
the prophets food.

strength they bore,

ROBBED and cassocked up the mountain,
through the dying light Of day
Climbed the fifty weary friars. Long aud
dreary was the way;
Al its end no Christmas dainties waited for
them in the Hall,
Bread and water formed their dinner. Of
their Christmas this was all.
But their Joy what heart can measure when
above the AbbOt's droDe
As he led their vesper service rang again
that clearer tone:

foot convulsively. then remained quiet,
with eyes half closed. Gradually ell
motion ceased. Shepleigh took one
little hand. oh, so gently, in his own,
then . quarter Of IN hour passed in
utter silence. Slowly the eyes closed
entirely, and but for short gasps, which
every moment grew lower, the little
form was motionless.
The clock struck twelve. There was
no sound now, only the little chest
rose and fell quietly. Then slowly the
dear eyes enclosed, the little white lips
parted, and the weak, uncertain little
voice began: "Now-I-lsy-me."
30 Lordr' moaned Shepleigh, but
at that moment Chrissy looked into his
face. smiled feebly and closed her eyes
again.
Another half-hour passed. and still
those mute men stood quietly watching
the child, who yet breathed.
A sound broke on the stiffness from
outside. Some one was coming in.
The door opened softly. and the doctor
entered and approached the bed.
He looked at the child, bent down
and listened, laid his hand on her fore
head, and felt her pulse. Then he said
under his breath few words every
man around the little couch heard dis
tinctly:
"A Merry Christmas to you, mates,
the child's a-goin' to bide right here,
after all.
Then be went IS softly a. he had
come.
Shepleigh's face worked. He laid
gently down the soft hand he had held
so long. Then, with tears streaming
down his face, he turned, looked direct
ly into the faces of his comrades, then
said, huskily:
81 say, mates, let's every man of us
return thanks and ask pardon"
Some knelt, others stood with heads
bowed low and arms folded, but at that
moment the men of Champion District
offered such q simple prayer of real
thankfulness and penitence, and up
through the storm and Sleet of the win
try night each humble petition sped
its unerring way to the listening ear of
Our Father i'm Heaven.
When another year came around
there was genuine Christmas tree at
the '.house" at Champion District
Other little children besides five-yeaI
old Chrissy were to reap the harvest Of
the wonderful tree of strange and de-
lightsome fruitage.
Next in importance to Chrissy's her
self was the minister's little girl, whose
simple home was close by and whose
dOllies was sure to take every CON-
plant Chrissy's dOllies had, and with
whom also every little Chrissy pleasure
or grief was sure to be divided.
Then the children of a few thrifty
women who, with their husbands, had
found their way to the district 10 help
cook, clean and improve the place gen.
orally, were expected to share the win
some spoils.
On Shepleigh's face was a smile of
peace, for not only to himself and his
mates had their last Christmas days
gift been unspeskably welcome and
blest, but, that glad morning, what
seemed Chrissy's little dying finger had
pointed to the Star of Bethlehem, and
the subdued hearts in the hush of a
dreaded but ayerted sorrow had turned
with childlike penitence TO the Christ
who came to the earth as a little child,
and who wants to save US all, every
one.-Inustrdted ChrsstiGn Weekly.
