Radley had been found dead IN the shadows
of the lower hall where he had fallen.
Nance's slavery was over.
A few months later she was crossing th /,

Christmas Charity.

GOOD will toward men, is the all per
vading sentiment of Christmastide.' 1t is
the time to bury unkind thoughts and petty
jealousies. 1t is the season for loving deeds
and kind remembrances, day of general
amnesty, a time to forgive and forget. and
with mantle of Christlike charity to
cover the foibles and frailties of our fell
lows
The sentiment of common brotherhood
should predominant. 1t is sentiment that
does not lessen the tender ties of kinship,
but broadens and ennobles its possessor.
The man who confines his Christmas chart
ties to his own family circle misses the
purest and hottest pleasures of the day.
The custom of giving Christmas presents
is said to have originated in the oriental
practice of bearing gifts on all pilgrimages
and visits. Thus the wise men of the east
laid gifts at the feet Of the infant Christ.
With us the custom has, or should have. a
higher and nobler significance.
The act of charity or the testimonial of
friendship and esteem should be entirely
spontaneous. To bestow gifts with the hope
of return or reward, or to propitiate friend
ship or interest, is to masquerade selfishness
in the guise of generosity.
The oriental idea of charity was recipro-
cal, to exchange benefits for favors expected.
Christ inaugurated nobler system, the
principle of brotherly love = Peace on
earth, good will toward men,"

1t was very pretty, the locket with the
sapphire lying on its bed of turquoise blue
velvet. One tear that fell heavily from her
eyes made an ephemeral diamond beside
the other stone.
''You are very good-very kind. Pll never
forget you. / couldn't forget you," she
said, and the effort to hide her tears made
her voice sound cold.
But Torrance seemed quite contented.
"Then we're friends | care very much
for what your life is going to be. care
very much, Nance / wish you'd leave the
stage. This is your first experience in the
chorus. You feel self reliant, strong; all
your impulses are toward the good. But
you are alone in the world, Nance, are you
notp"
She was almost awed by the wilderness
and sternness of his lips.
"All alone" she said. with a touch of
ecklessness.
"Then the self assurance in which you
wrap yourself may some day fail you. You
will be constantly misunderstood; you will
touch pitch, even though you shrink from
it. Nance, have lived; have been through
the mire. The wish to be strong, honor
able, true, is not enough. You are intelli-
gent, and there must be something else you
could do"
She made no answer. Every kind, unim-
passioned word he said seemed to place
them farther apart
They had reached her home by this time.
1t was small red brick house on the out
skirts of the French quarter. Nine. For
estier lived here in the basement with acat
and a bird. All the other rooms she rented
to single dodgers. Nance was one of them.
The dormer window facing snowcapped
spire and blinking like an eye in the white
rays lighted the small place she called
home,
The rest was like chilling dream to
Nance. Her one thought was to hide her
secret still and say goodby without a tear.
She heard Mark telling her where to write
in London il she was ever in any emer-
gency; she felt the grip of his strong hand;
she heard him say:
"Goodby, Nance dear little Nance,
goodby," and then she knew she was alone,
his Christmas gift in her hand, and that
measureless despair seemed suddenly to
seize her like palpable thing
Let her grow to be an old woman, and
she felt she could never know more in
tensely the meaning of lifes saddest truths
than she did, standing there, watching his
retreating figure down the moon drenched
street.
'Goodby, Nance-dear little Nance, good
by"
The words were a requiem.

CHAPTER IT

Christmas eve in tenement house. It
was far down in the city among the crook
ed, narrow streets of the older portion of
the town, near the wharves where once the
prosperous wives of Dutch burghers Cos
siped and knitted.
The day was bitterly cold, sunny, dusty.
Since morning clouds had trembled across
the suns face and New Workers looked for
snow.
just as it came futtering through the
dying light OF day from thickly overcast
sky, q young woman rushed from the tall.
sordidly mean dwelling house, her torn
cloak half shading the face of the babe on
her arm. On her cheek there was scarlet
bruise as from q blow, and her eyes held
such terror as comes to dumb animals in
stinctively seeming death.
She ran on, a pitiful wreck of young wo-
manhood, worn from poverty and the fear
full struggle for mere material sustenance,
embittered and hearthardened from Ill
treatment.
After long, breatbless walk she came to
Trinity church. Her strength seemed sud
denly to ooze from her fingers, and she sank
heavily against the ratings crushing the
child passionately to her heart, and laying
her fevsred lips against the wan, BLUSH
cheeks
"Hs will never hurt us again, Teddy dear
Il was the last time, the last" she NUT
tered, with half insane exultation. "It
went on long enough. didn't III Enough

never to be forgotten walk, blue and silver
with moonlight--just such a night, fresh
snow on, the streets, a hush and sparkle
everywhere.
She turned her face toward the river, and
a shivering sigh broke from her lips. The
moon seemed keeping pace with her. a
cruel leer on its round face.
II knowi' it seemed to say. "None OF
those passing you can read your heart-- but
can. ! will go with you; will light the
rivers hollows for you and show you the
deepest spot The secret is ours, Nance"
She lowered her head from the white hos
tility of the heavenly watcher, and Mark IS
imagined face rose before her, seeming to
mock her misery with its flashing strength
and beauty
From this bitter dream world she was
aroused by clamor of voices and the touch
of hand on her arm.
"You needn't play innercent. We seed
yer snatch the watchi'' she heard voice
say, and she became aware that she was
the center Of a crowd.
Her weak limbs tottered, and she could
only gasp;
Let me goi Let me gol took nothingl
Oh, what do you meanf" and surely there
never was anything more pitifully lovely
than her eyes, big with fear and appeal
, She saw a man dressed like gentleman
come hurriedly through the groups of chat
tering boys
Here she is, mister. She swiped the
ticker. Eff she amt got it on her, she trun
it away"
1T isn't truep Nance found voice to call
out in ringing tone. Don't have me ar
rested. 1t isn't true-oh, mol mop
What hand was that which suddenly
gripped hersS What face came close to her
changed, unhappy one' What voice spoke
her name again and again In accents of I'M
belief, of amaze, of sorrowful tenderness
and keen delight
'Nancel They lie when they call you a
thief Don't tremble, deari / believe you'll
know. I've been looking for you every
where for months Oh, child, why didn't
you let me know2 And the plying eyes
fingered on her ragged dress and the for
lorn child.
Surely this was heaveni How else could
Mark be standing there, his arms around
her, and the yearning In his voice, In his
eyes for which she had so often longedf He
loved her nowi Her woman's instinct told
her that he loved her-wretched, almost lost
though she was. But was 1t not too late
too later
Her bad sank heavily against him, and
she knew no more.

he drove her down to the tenemens house
near the bridge. There he found the neigh.

THE CHURCH ALTAR.
A Clergyman Tells How to Handsomely
Decorate IL.

A Clergyman Tells How to Handsomely
Decorate It.
Palms and other ported plants are usual
ly used in the Christmas decoration of the
church, but a much finer effect can be Sc
cured by grouping these at points away from
the altar and decorating that with vines or
evergreens. If holly is procurable, it can
be massed about the altar and arranged
along the chancel rail in a carelessly ar
tistic way and be made much more effect
i've than any potted plants, as the latter
always have more or less formal air about
them, in spite of all efforts to avoid it. If
you have tall palms, place them in the back
ground.
If evergreens and Towering plants are
used, do not combine them, but keep the
flowers to one side. The two do not har-
monize. One kills" the other, to make
use of the term which artists use to express
inharmonious combinations of colors. In
this case it is not so much clash of color
as it is of individuality. Red berries and
leaves require nothing in the shape Of flow
ers to bring out their beauty, but show to
the best advantage by themselves, or when
used with evergreens In wreathing the
chancel rails. fasten the sprays to rope or
cord with fine wire or string, and do not
attempt any regularity in size or shape of
festoons when you put the wreathing in
place. Aim to produce an unstudied effect.
A charming effect is produced by sprin-
king the leaves of evergreen with mucil-
age and sitting powdered mica over them.
This will glisten in the evening like frost.
If the supply of holly berries is limited,
crystallized grasses can be worked in effec-
lively. There are varieties of shrubs grow
iv,fy In, NIL xuhi Of
fruit which makes very satisfactory sub
stitute for the holly. Throw vines over the
altar, letting the ends of the branches trail
on the floor at sides and front.
Among the dark green foliage-which
should be washed before using, to bring out
its glossy beauty-fasten the berries gath
cred in the swamp and use grasses among
them if you choose Some of the berries
can be dipped in mucilage and busted with
mica and combined with the scarlet clus-
ters. The frosty white and glowing scarlet
harmonic well and contrast strongly and
heighten the effect of each other. The rich
green of the ivy will throw out the colors
most effectively.
The long branches are easy to arrange
satisfactorily. Simply throw them over
the altar, and they seem to almost arrange
themselves. A pure white cross can be
placed on the altar, with sprays of ivy
winding about it and trailing over it's arms.
If thought preferable, a cross or star made
entirely of berries, either in their natural
color or frosted, can be placed in front of
the altar, against background of ivy or
evergreens. In this case / would not use
clusters of berries at other points of the
altar decoration, but confine the effect to
the designs into which they are worked

Lorance"-there 1t was upon a piacardi
Her heart seemed fiuttering in her throat
as her eyes glanced down the lines that told
of his short visit to New York and how he
had volunteered to sing at the great con-
cert that flight to help swell relief fund
for the families of miners who had been
killed in terrible explosion.
He was herei She might see~him from
afar off She might hear him sing againi
The hot tears clouded her eyes, but her
heart grew determined. She paid for a
seattle poorest in the house-high up in
the gallery.
After getting some milk for Teddy and a
mouthful of food for herself, she returned
to the tbeater. She was penniless now. But
there was no fear of the future-there was
to be no future. How peaceful the thought
wasi
The theater filled slowly. for she was very
early, and it was late in the evening before
Mark appeared. He looked just the same.
Now that winter night did not seem so
long ago. 1t was but yesterday, and she
was No. IS in the chorus. Amid the APP
plause that greeted the singer poor Nancy's
sob was unheard:
20 God-to go back-to go back to that

Her hopeless eyes ala not leave Marks
face once, and the notes that rose throb-
bingly from his lips she drank in like nour-
ishment for her soul.
After his last song Nance rose unsteadi-
ly and made her way toward the stairs.
She wanted to hear no other voice. That
must be the music in her ears when she
looked on Deaths face.

One Australian Christma.. I.

A hot northerly wind, laden with sand
and dust, had been blowing with great force
for two days. The thermometer in the
warmest part of the afternoon touched up
to 100 in the shade, and even at night did
not fall below 100. The small birds, find
ing but little shade in the straight lcaved
gum trees, came in under the covering of the
wide verandas Of the huts. The snakes
were almost more dangerous at night than
they were in the day. In fact, 1t was in
tensely hot weather. The sun rose on the
Christmas morning without any appearance
of change.
The forenoon was spent in branding cat
tie in order that they might be released and
watered, as detention in such heat much
longer would probably cause some mortal
ity. In the meantime the dinner was I'm
progress. The lady of the establishment
had roasted the wild ducks and teal, pre-.
pared tile green peas potatoes there were
none-and boiled the plum pudding. At 8
o'clock we sat down in a long veranda to
do our duty, Notwithstanding the state Of
the weather, when we were not made cooler
by having. in default of other beverage, to
drink hos tea, which we slipped from large
basins. The pudding was great success
and was the more appreciated because the
whole Of the ingredients had been brought
900 miles In bullock wagons At . cost Of
600 . ton and had run many Eisks of being
stolen or lost on the road.
