for they had been az certain OF her
death as she of theirs. Precious indeed
are these gifts which fate, stern and un,
relenting at times, seems to snatch
from the dead to reward the love of the
living. Never since angels sang at
bethlehem had Christmas seemed glad
der to any human soul, than was this
memorable Christmas eve to the beauti
full Armenian maiden. After the storm

nate of their happy home. Under the
starry flag which, thank God, tolerates
no religious persecution they live, in
security. doing their duty as Christian
citizens, loving their adopted land with
passionate oriental fervor, and contrib:
uting as they can toward the necdssof
those still suffering in the beloved lome
country. They are loyal to the core,
but hope the land of their adoption may
do something to stay the hate which
crimsoned tie land of their birth. God
grant that their hope be not in vain.
A simple story the annals of lives
touched with sorrows deeper than those
most Of us in these happier lands have
known. Remembering our mercies at
Christmas time, let us not forget the
Eriefs which have burdened and or

What wonder that real tears welled up
from tortured hearts, and that they
sparkled in pretty Zillah's mournful
eyes? Good will to men these exiles

were to recite at this gathering of their
compatriots the story of their adven-

refugees, but the stories had a tragic
interest ever new. while they recounted

with the Doctor.
When Sister Mary began it she in
tended it to be lamp mat, and the re-
ceiver was to be my Cousin Sarah.
Sister Mary is rather touchy about
some things, but never knew anything
to affect her SO severely as the mere
mention of that lamp mat does now.
In fact, l studiously refrain from all
mention of it unless particularly wish
to rifle her.
Cousin Sarah and Sister Mary are
about the same age. shall not men
ton Sister Mary's age, as she is still
unmarried (having broken with the
doctor that Christmas), but l think
am allowed to state that Cousin Sarah
was As last August, for, since she is mar
ried, she is not so particular about con-
cealing her years.
OF course Sister Mary would never
have attempted making a lamp mat
.(for she had never crocheted one be-
fore) if Cousin Sarah had not bought
the Dresden lamp, so blame the whole
trouble on the Dresden lamp.
The lamp mat began all right, with
little round fat center. Sister Mary
got that finely. But as the size in

'"Then is there anything very peculiar,
the thermometer being near zero, in

"Whv, dear, the peculiar fact would

Every well, then, will you explain

TWO CHRISTMAS EYES
An Armenian Maiden's Escana and
It's Happy Sequel

Christmas amid the mountains of
Armenia. The scene of orr e,o,.,,
is little oriental village, in 1sec.
nestled amid the rugged cliffs at the
head OF a smiling valley. The site of
the hamlet was ravine running up the
mountain side into a rocky pass. as
though the great valley opening beyond
had been whitfield to a narrow noint
thet it might penetrate the hills. Great
precipices yawned on either side. and
towering cliffs which seemed to have
grown gray with age. even as the snow
on the higher peaks of the mountains
seemed the hoary locks of those
ancients, which there had for centuries
watched over the old world. Near bv

don't know what was wrong with It,
for l am not an expert in that line, but
before the lamp mat was complete Sis
ter Mary decided to call it a bag of some
sort or other. and put ribbons on it for
handles and a tassel on the bottom.
You see. when lamp mat makes up its
mind to be a pudding bag you just
have to let it have it's own way.
So, as said, she put long ribbons on
it, pink ones, and some bows, and
took it over and gave it to the bald
headed doctor, with her compliments
and a merry Christmas"
She was engaged to him then.
That was all right, but what do you
think that doctor did? Why. he sat
right down and wrote her a note thank.
ing her for her kindness in sending him
such a TASTY and comfortable night
cap" and assuring her that it would
bring him pleasant dreams. Yes. sir!
And | don't wonder Sister Mary got
mad and broke the engagement.
But you can bet she hasn't tried to
make any lamp mats since.

her heart bled under the stabs of pierre
ing grief. Brave and noble girl! How
many like her, pieces of driftwood from
the wrecks wrought by Turkish cruelty
and fanaticism, have been stranded
upon our kindlier shores. Zillah turned
in prayer toward the God of her IN

cannot heal broken heart; it can but
console and slightly assuage such grief
as hers.
