to Nan and the baby-which as yet he
hardly realized as his own-he had
taken time to go to his lodging house
for Mans note, and he read the words
it contained with eyes suspiciously
dim.
How gayly his heart beat as he
tramped across the bridget! How happy
he felt! Christmas was glorious
time! He didn't wonder people en-
joyed it!
And this time when he reached the
cottage it was all aglow with light and
warmth, and Nan met him at the door
and exclaimed over the number of his
bundles, and laughed because he had
bought the baby a drum and n toy
engine.
'tBut we can save them for him."
she added; "and just come out into
the kitchen, Jerry"
Jerry followed her, wondering what
he was to see, and gave little gasp of
surprise when he found nice supper
spread upon the table and delicious
aroma from coffee pot filling the
room.
"I've learned to cook, Jerry. Mrs.
Bosley says I can't be beaten at it, )"
sail Nan, laughing, though her eyes
were full of tears.
Jerry's lips quivered, and he swal-
lowed lump in his throat. Then he
put his arms around his little wife and
drew her close to his happy heart.
''This is Christmas, sure enough,
Man," he whispered, huskily. Indie
pendent.

Recriminations and

to white heat. Recriminations and
reproaches followed, and the quarrel
had ended in his leaving the little
house which he had bought on their
marriage, vowing never to enter it
again until Nan apologized.
The next day he had sent mes
senger for his clothes, half hoping the
apology would come instead. But it
hadn't. He had felt angry OF himself
for searching oil the pockets for
note, only to be disappointed; and he
had sworn to make Nan sick of her
"blasted PRIDE"
He had left his place in Hinckle's
store in Bridge City, where he had
been employed since boyhood, and
had gone to L., to take place in
the iron works. And not word had
ever come from Nan.
A bitter loneliness filled his heart
as lie entered his cheerless room with
its carpetless floor and curtainless
window. The fire in the rusty little
stove had gone out, and the cheap
kerosene lamp on the wooden mantel
gave only sickly light.
Heyser shivered and flung out OF
the room, muttering something be-
tween his teeth. 1t was too early to
go to bed, and he had lived SO entire
ly to himself during the past year
that he had no friends in the tenement
house upon whom he could drop in
for IN hours talk. What was he to
do with himself? Walk up and down
Main street, he supposed, and see peo-
ple stare at him because he had no
bundles.
AS he went downstairs he heard the
Payne children laughing, and through
q door that stood little ajar saw them
hanging up their stockings.
Heyser's heart swelled with self
pity, and he tugged at the muller
about his throat as if it were choking
him as he went stamping down the
bare, dark stairway. In all this

AT CHRISTMAS TIDE.

30 biithe this hour. when once n=can
The Star glows steadfast in the sky;
So hope attuned, when human pain
Grows less, for faith that help is nigh;
So hallowed, when the angel train
With song and harp are passing by.
Once more, between the midnight's gloom
And the pale rose OF breaking dawn,
Heavens matchless lilies wake and bloom,
And far athwart the east are drawn
The pencilled sunbeams which Hume
All pathways men must journey on.
Again the Sages and the Soers
Bend low before little child;
And DER the long and stormful years,
The desert spaces vast and wild,
The strife, the turmoil, and the tears,
He looks, and smiles, the undefiled.
'Tis Christmas tide! At Mary's knee
The shepherds an ] the princes meet!
Love-bound in dear humility,
To clasp the Infant Saviour's feet.
The Star is bright ore land and sea;
The Gloria song Is full and sweet
