Mrs. Carson went her way. Mrs.
Harry sat with her chin in her hands,
her blue eyes gazing wistfully out over
the snow covered landscape. She was
very, very unhappy-yet her marriage
| with Harry Haddon had been genuine
love-match. Her reverie was interrupted
by the appearance of the postmaster 8
little son with letter.
s'From Harry" she cried, joyously.
A long, loving letter it was, yet an un-
satisfactory one.
s.You win have to spend your first married
Christmas without me, my Lily" wrote the
young husband. my father is SO much
worse that it seems quite impracticable to
leave him, and my mother declares she will
not stay alone in this foreign country, as
she calls It, without me. The doctor thinks
that q couple Of mouths In Georgia will be
of inestimabIe benefit to both Of them. But
my heart aches when I think Of you alone
| there. You had better 60 to your sister,
Mrs. Conynham, until return. Life at
Callikoon will be by far too rough for you."
Mrs. Harry had hardly persued these
words when there came loud knocking
at the door. 1t was Juliana Joyce,
wrapped in furs like an Esquimau.
'sIs it youi" cried Mrs. Harry, swal-
lowing down her grief until more
convenient season. ssCome in. Your
trunks"

Joyce. 'sI've come to say I amt comin'T

An OfIicial Animal Fight.

The following particulars Of an official
tiger and buffalo fight that took place at
Padang Panjang, in the residency of the
west coast of Sumatra, are given by the
Batavia Nieuwsbald. The Assistant
Resident of the district had determined
upon giving this performance to the peo-
pie, owing to the capture Of large
tigress in that neighborhood. The tigress
bad vainly been offered to the geological
gardens at Batavia and Amsterdam, and
by the time of the fight had lost much of
her fierceness. The people of the place
got together stout bamboos to fence
round the arena, circular piece OF
ground more than thirty feet broad, with
galleries for spectators, who were charged
admission fees.
A few weeks before the fight the AS
sistant Resident secured tiger, and the
people provided two stout buffaIoes to
measure themselves in the arena with it
and the tigress. On the day of battle
crowds thronged the arena, into which
the tigress stepped at about ten a. m. to
meet buffalo. The latter quietly held
its own against the tigress, which, re-
duced by her long imprisonment, showed
no inclination for further attack. To
stir them up both animals were pricked
now and then with bamboo darts. The
buffalo then got some spear thrusts, the
wounds being freely drenched with ex-
tract of chillies. The tigress was aroused
by the application of burning torches
and crackers, and, IN short, every effort
was made to give the oulookcrs their
moneys worth.
Despite all this neither buffalo nor
tigress would fight, SO that in the end
orders were given to kill the tigress.
After her corpse had been removed the
second buffalo was let into the arena, fol-
lowed by the tiger. This buffalo, aided
by Its comrade, attacked the tiger, which
soon had enough Of it, and sought safety
by clambeiing up the palisading until
several spear thrusts made it let 90. No
amount Of urging with pricks, thrusts.
and fire proved of any avail in arousing
the champions to battle until the pro-
longed torture Of the tiger was ended by
killing it with spears. Both corpses
were taken to the Assistant Resldent,
bnt the SKINS proved worthless from be.
ing scorched and pierced. The specta-
tors left disappointed at not seeing 4
fight which they had paid SO high to
see.

"Of course, Hannah. But the turkey

listen, che bells in the steepies
In jubilant gladness ring.
10 welcome the coming of Christmas
And the birthday of the King
Who was born in the lowly manager 9
Bethlehem long ago,
When the song Of the herald angels
Was sung to the world below.
Thou hast clad Thyself in raiment
OF spotless white, on earth,
Like bride on her marriage morning,
To celebrate Christ's birth.
Oh, were our lives as spotless,
Our hands unstained with sin.
And the latch of each heart were lifted
To let the Christ child in.
Bring OF thy pine and holly,
On earth, this Christmas day.
And wreathe in their green the altar
Whereon our gifts we lay;
Gifts Of most grateful homage
Laid low at the feet Of the King,
Who leans from His throne to listen
To the sound of our worshiping.
Bring to the dear Lords altar
The souls white flowers to-day,
Let the rose of thy love shed incense
Sweet as the breath of May;
Let the lily of faith eternal
Lift its cups of myrrh to Him
Whose love is tie star that leads US
Throuoh vave that ara dark or dim
Oh, earth send back to heaven
The grand and glorious strain
That startled the wondering shepherds
On far Judea's plain.
Glory to God in the highest
Sing it again and again
On earth be peace, on earth be peace,
Good will, good will to men.
