wheelmen had contemplated some very

wind last afternoon discouraged them

looked very pretty from distance,
and the display under the circustances

Christmas in the country forty years
ago was a different affair from what
T. is now. 1 never think OF Christmas
in those days without thinking of a
lovely winter day, bright with sun
shine, and snow everywhere; large
drifts. through which the horses fOun-
dered as they drew the stout sled, on
which was the wagon-bed filed with
hay. and covered with blankets and
buffalo-robes, where We cuddled down.

Christmas at grandpa's. We could
hardly wait till the horses stopped, so
eager we're We to wish grandpa q mer-

to a present instead OF US; but kiss

for the occasion, were given US. Our
aunts. uncles and cousins came next

and there, suspended by a stout string
from the ceiling, was a great turkey

snow. She had gone to sleep there, in
spite of the cold, in a painful attitude
Of utter WEAKNESS, with her poor lit
tie head and shoulder propped in an
angle of The icy stone.
One of her old shoes had fallen from
the foot which hung over and lay in the
snow.
Lucien de Hem felt mechanically for
his vest pocket, and was suddenly re-
minded that a moment before he had
not even found a forgotten franc, nor
a pourboire for the valet.
However, stirred by an instructive
pity, he approached the little girl, and
would perhaps have carried her in his
arms to give her a night shelter, had
he not seen something shining in the
old shoe as it lay in the snow.
He bent over. 1t was a gold louis.
Some charitable person, a woman,
doubtless. in passing by this Christ
mas eve had seen the shoe in front
OF the sleeping child, and had remem-
bered the touching legend. This gen
erous aims had been given so that the
little one might believe in the gifts of
the holy child, and in spite of her dis
tress retain some hope in the goodness
of Providence.
A louisi 1t meant many days of
plenty for the beggar. and Lucien was
about to waken and tell her so, when
he heard a voice in his ear, drawing,
thick voice. mumbling:
Here are two days since have been
out of the club. You can cut of my
fist if II does not come out when the
clock strikes midnight"
Then the young man of %. coming

hysterical, monstrous desire. Assuring
himself with one glance that the street
was deserted he swiftly stopped, adj
vanced a trembling hand, and stole the
louis from the old shoe With a wild
rush he reached the club again, cleared
the stairs in one impetuous rush. flung

With a turn of his hand he showed

Red won.
He left y louis on the same color.
Again it appeared. Three times he put
up the doubled stakes with the same
luck. There was now a great heap or
gold and bank notes in front of him,
and he began frantically TO SOW them
broadcast over the table. Every COM
hination favored him. The little ivory
ball jumping about the divisions of the
roulette seemed TO be magnetized by
the gamblers gaze, and obeyed il. In

From every spire on Christmas eve.
The Christmas bells ring clearly out
Their message Of good will and peace.
With many a call and silver shout
For faithful hearts. the angels song
Still echoes in the frosty air,
And by the altar low they bow
In alteration and in prayer.
A thousand blessed mem ries throns
The stars are holy signs TO them,
And from the eyes OF every child
Looks forth the Babe OF Bethlehem.
But there are Others. not like these,
Whose brows ara sad. whose hopes
are crossed.
To whom the season brings no cheer.
And LIES most gracious charm is
lost.
To whom that story. old and sweet.
Is but fable at the best:
The Christmas music mocks their ears,
And life has naught Of joy or rest.
Oh, for an angels voice TO pierce
The clouds OF grief that Ger them
rise.
The mists OF doubt and unbelief
That veil the blue of Christmas skies.
That they. at last. may see the light
Which shines from Bethlehem and
unfolds
For Christ the treasures OF their hearts
Richer than spicery or gold.
Hope OF the ages. draw Thou near.
TIL all the earth shall own Thy sway.
And when Thou reign'st in every heart,
Il viii indeed be Christmas day.

players in the bold glare of the three
great green shades. He heard the soft
friction of the gold on the felt and
realized his loss, his ruin; but he re-
membered that at home, in a bureau
drawer, there were two army pistols
which had been bravely used by his
father, General De Hem, in the attack
of Zaatcha Then utterly worn out. he
slept profoundly.
He awoke with parched throat and
glancing at the clock saw that he had
barely slept half hour.
An imperative need to breathe the
night air came over him. The hands
marked quarter to midnight, and, on
rising and stretching his arms, Lucien
recollected that it was Christmas eve,
and by an ironical freak of memory he
saw himself little child again putting
his shoes in front of the chimney at
bedtime.
Just then old Dronski, the Pole,
fixture of the place. in threadbare,
braided livery, came up to Lucien and
mouthed a few words in his dirty
beard.
Lend me five francs, Monsieur. Here
are two days since l have been out of
the club and II has not turned up once.
Laugh at me if you will, but
you may cut of my fist if II does not
come out in a few minutes, when the
clock strikes midnight"
Lucien de Hem shrugged his Shout
ders; he had not even the wherewithal
in his pocket to pay the tax known by
the house habitues as The Poles
Pence"
He passed into the hall, put on his
hat, his coat, then descended the stairs
with the haste of a fevered person.
During the four hours he had been in
doors heavy snow had fallen and the
street, a central one. walled in by high
houses. was all white. Multitudes of
Geld stars shone in the blue-bl purg-
ed sky.
The ruined man walked rapidly, re-
volving desperate thoughts in his mind. |
and was more than ever drawn TO the
pistol box in his dressing case drawer. !
Suddenly he stopped. He was con-
fronted by heart-breaking scene.
On stone bench, placed according
to the old-time custom beside the
door of a palace, little
girl of 6 or Z. barely covered by rag
Sed black frock, was sitting in the
