"You begin it, you know" And Tony,
who acted in the double capacity Of bust
ness manager and choir master, gave the
note, and Kathie began.
In the handsomely furnished library of
the house before which the children stood
an old man was sitting alone before a
great open fire. He knew that it was
Christmas eve, but the fact did not seem
to make him particularly happy, for his
face was drawn and haggard, as though
he were being tormented by his own
thoughts. Some one had wished him q
"merry Christmas" that evening, and the
old man laughed bitterly.
MERRY Christmas, he half muttered.
"When have seen a Christmas that was
anything but a torment SINCE And his
mind went back to Christmas eve just
ten years ago. All, those were merry
Christmases in the old years when Kath-
crime was a child with long golden hair!
What was it that she sang every time be-
fore she explored the mysterious stock
ing' Oh, yes, he remembered it we'll
clark, the herald angels singl"
Was he dreaming, or was it really his dar
ling's voice that broke the stiffness of the
winter night? He listened intently. Faint
ly the air of the old anthem came to him.
Then, as his ear grew accustomed to the
voice, he caught each word distinctly,
"'Glory to the newborn King" The
sound came from the street, and the old
man rose from his armchair and walked
noiselessly to the window. Hiding him.
self among the heavy folds of the hang
ings, he gazed eagerly out into the snowy
avenue.
Two tots Of children were standing d.
rectly in front of the house. One, the
smaller of the two, girl with bright
ourls, as he saw by the friendly light of
