TWO CHRISTMAS EYES.
An Armenian Maid ems Escape and
It's Happy Sequel

Christmas amid the mountains of
Armenia. The scene of our story
is a little oriental village, in 1S9-,
nestled amid the rugged cliffs at the
head OF q smiling valley. The site of
the hamlet was a ravine running up the
mountain side into a rocky pass, as
though the great valley opening beyond
had been whitfield to n narrow point
tho 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 by
