but in your brave little soul you try to
hide your disappointment that it may
not grieve mamma. No, darling, l

you this time, as he has done every
other Christmas since your birth, and
1t breaks my heart to think you must
be SO neglected.
Don't you mind it bit, mamma,

you used to, it will please me more

The mother drew the little one to her
bosom and kissed her fondly, and she
started when deep sigh, which Midget
tried in vain to repress, escaped from the
baby's breast Her face wore look
of desperate resolution as she released
her loved one and said:
Midget, darling, you will hang up
your little stockings tonight, as you
have always done, and good Santa
Claus may come here when he visits
the few children in this dreary town.
l somehow feel that he will do so, and
when you go to bed tonight you must
ask God in your prayers to tell the
good children's friend where you are.
He may find you, darling, but if he
does not you must not grieve too
greatly over. it. Mamma is going out
for little while, and you must stay

warm until she gets back. will 60

If the thin muslin wall which sep
arated her room from the adjoining
one had vanished Mrs. Maynard would
have seen sitting near it great big,
rough miner, with tears sparkling like
diamonds in his honest eyes. She did
not know that, as she left her room,
big John" Rogers, as he was known,
quietly arose and followed her from
the house and waded after her through

He saw her enter the post office, and
few minutes later come forth again
with look of distress and disappoint-

to look about her, and he Noticed that
they were full of tears, but, when just
across the street, they encountered
three gilded balls, her face frightened
and she seemed about to start toward
them. Then cloud of pain swept
over her features and she stood with
bowed head, as if irresolute. She
stood thus for several moments, then
her lips compressed, and, rapidly cross
ing the street, she entered the pawn
brokers' shop.
"Big John" read the story at glance.
Some cherished keepsake was going,
in order that her baby daughter might
not miss the expected visit from Santa
Claus-and how dear that keepsake
must be, for what an effort it required

conversation which he had heard be-

THE ChILDREN'S DAY.
Regardless of Past Troubles Make Chris
mas q HaDDy One for Them

Regardless of Past Troubles Make Christ.
mas q Happy One for Them.
Whatever may be our circumstances,
let US endeavor 20 make this Christmas
day as merry and joyful ito ourselves
and those around sus as possible. If
absent ones are thought of let them
be remembered with gladness. If re-
verses and sorrows have come with the
year just ending let us bury them on
Christmas eve. To the discouraged
let us be healthful and life-giving
stimulant, ever mindful of the power
of sunny and buoyant example. Let
us make our crosses seem .as light as
possible to those who love, us. Let
frowns be buried in smiles just for a
day-the merr;est, happiest day of all
the year. Try the panacea of laugh
ter upon the sick-better than all the
medicines ever invented. Wherever
there exists sorrow let us try, even if
we can do ever SO little, to wipe it
away for the day. If ingratitude has
come to us let us believe that there
must exist cause of which we know
not. If the spirit of unforgiveness has
come to any of us let the Christmas
joy soften our hearts. In mercy think
of our enemies, never forgetful Of the
fact that life is too short to harbor ill
feelings. No matter what we have
borne during the year, or what we
feel we may be called upon to
bear during the year to come,
let us be, merry on this an
0f he fol 90
that Christ who will mend every
wrong, who will set all things right,
though His ways are not our ways and
His blessings are slow in their coming.
And whatever may be our own trials
let us not for a moment show them to
the children of our homes. Christmas
is their day. If it, be not for us it is
cruel to take it from them. Before
them. at least, let us carry the smile;
let us be young again if but for a day.
youth in the games and
romps we can all give to. the little
hearts which came from our hearts.
And in the innocent pleasures of child
hood, perhaps, we shall forget the
world, and the hard side of our lives.
Then, perchance, will the lesson come
home to us that whatever. our trials,
whatever our crosses. we are kings
apd queens Of happiness in the pos
session of home and children. For
wherever, true love exists and reigns
there will always be happiness. The
happiest hearts are never far off from
a home filed with the love of good
wife and the merry laughter Of chill
dren. And may those two greatest
elements off life be found in every
home into which these words shall
penetrate, carrying with them the
merriest and gladaest of Christmas
greetings from q heart which, if it
could, would bring joy to every being
in the universe. Ladies' Home Jour

With the ring in his purse, the ring
placed on the woman's finger when at
the altar she took the name of the dear
one whom she mourned, John started
on a tour of the saloons and gambling
houses of the camp. Quietly he told
woman in distress?" That was
enough for the generous warm-heart-
ed miners congregated in the various
places, and the canvas bag John car
ried grew more and more corpulent in
proportions as he went his rounds.
Gold, silver and greenbacks came into
the fund from willing hands, and when
at nine that night the tour was COM
pleted, the bag seemed almost BURST
ing with it's load of treasure. Return
ing to the hotel with few compan-
ions the miner had a consultation with
the landlord, which concluded with the
latter saying, bluntly:
eyes, take knife an slit the or
merry thing. I kin have piece sewed
over the hole"
During the early hours of the night
men moved softly about the hotel Of
fee whispering mysteriously, or sat
near the stove discussing some matter
in low tones. The landlords wife had
gone to the lady's room, ostensibly
for a womanly chat, but really ON a
mission at Johns request, and when,
an hour later, she silently glided into
the Office score of rough miners sur
rounded her. ,r.........
'She is just going to bed" the wom-
an said. The poor creature is tired
and all worn out, and induced hsr to
take small dose Of laudanum She
will sleep like a top. The little girl is
sleeping soundly, and assisted the
mother to place the few cheap pres
ents she had purchased in the little
stockings hanging on the back Of a
chair near the bed. The woman took
hers off just before l came away, and
they are lying on her shoes near the
foot of the bed"
Along after midnight, had not Mrs.
Maynard been securely. locked in :,the
arms of opiate-induced sleep, some
very mysterious transactions would
have met her eyes. She would have
seen honest old Johns bewhiskered
face at the opening thus made, his
head cautiously enter, and his keen
eyes peer around in the dim light
which came through the window from

The mother reached for the stock

and it flashed across her mind that
they were freighted with money, she
held her breath in astonishment. She
poured the treasure out on the bec-

wedding-ring, with a note attached.
Opening the paper, she -ead:

man with the whiskers. Wasn't it

| The big fellow attempted to run
into the street, but the landlord
caught him and pulled him back. He
blushed like schoolgirl as he faced
the wondering woman, and blurted
out:

But he had escaped from the door
and ran blushing down the street.

hold quite long conversation with
