Sidney Bruce stood there, staring in
amazement.
"Aunt Cynthia!" he gasped.
Miss Cynthia turned, and all the
hardness of years melted from her
heart. "My own boy!" she murmured,
laying her hand on his arm, and gazing
into his face as if she could not gaze
enough.
"What does it mean?" the poor fell
low said, as he noticed the children run
forward and cling to her skirts.
She told him all, and he listened Won
deringly until she finished, when he
drew each small figure to his breast
and kissed them, with tears in his
eyes.
Let me go now to Edith, while you
get the children ready, and then we
shall go home. Don't refuse me, Sid
ney; know don't deserve your for
giveness, but I'm getting old and
need you all-every one Miss Cynthia
pleaded, TREMENDOUSLY.
Sidney pointed to the door of Edith's
room, and MISS Cynthla entered. what
the two women said will never be
known, but an hour later a carriage
drove up and the Bruce family entered
and were driven home.
Miss Cynthia never did things by
halves, and that Christmas was orc Of
joy, not only to her own family, but to
many others, for happiness opened the
way to all her treasures, and Miss
Cynthia opened her heart and hand
and gave lavishly to the poor.
The children found that Santa Claus
knew the way to Aunt Cynthia's, and
that was sufficient for them. They did
not think, as their elders did, of the
words, "a little child shall lead them"

Miss Cynthia's smile was so loving.
her best friend would scarcely have
recognized her.
SIS it, dear; will Santa Claus go to
your house?" she asked, gently.
'Not this year. Father says he can't
come every year to our house, cause
we mustn't be selfish. Some little chill
dren never had Santa Claus come"
said the boy, his eyes shining with
sympathy for the Santa Clausless chill
dren he spoke Of.
A great resolve was forming in Miss
Cynthia's heart. She would take these
children to their home, and then send
them such Christmas as they would
never forget. She could not do it for
Sidney's children, but here were two
little waits who could take their place.
Hastily she donned her hat and seal
skin coat, and taking a hand of each
wondering child, went out into the
night.
Nov, children, take me to your
home, and when have explained your
absence to your Mary, I'll hunt up SAM
ia Claus and send him around to your
house." she said, as they went down
the steps.
The boy pulled her along the snowy
street, talking so rapidly all the time
of what he wanted Santa Claus to
bring that Miss Cynthia did not notice
which way they were going until they
stopped before small house on
dark street. Around the side of the
cottage the trio went, and the boy
opened door noisily into poorly
furnished dining-room. At the sound,
young Irish girl rushed in and
clasped the truants in her arms.
"Oh, you naughty ones! Mary's
been so worried, and the poor mother

fully.

when the door behind her opened, and

A DAY FOR CHILDREN.
the Little Folks
Happy.

Christmas seems to be the one fes-
tival of the year which rightfully
belongs to the children-the time
when the Christ-child came
into the world, born in such lowly
place, that no child, however humble,
but should share in the joy of his
birth. If we have children in our
homes, says a writer in the Farm
and Fireside, let US invest the Christ
mas-time with all the beauty and
brightness that is possible. Teach
them the sweet old Christmas songs,
such as Holy Night" "Once in Royal
David's City," 20 Little Town of
Bethlehem" and "Joy to the World"
Tell them again the story of the
birth of the Christ. All children love
it, and it is ever new These talks
are made more interesting by looking
at pictures. Good copies of old
masterpieces illustrating the life of
Christ are very cheap now, and
should be in every home. Such
pictures as Corneggio's Nativity"
"The Worship of the Magi," "The
Madonna and Child" will make a last
ing impression on a child's mind.
AS Christmas commentaries Gods
greatest and best gift to the world.
ii is a sweet custom for friends to
give some gift to each other symbol
izing their love. In too many homes
the children are in danger of having
their own idea of Christmas one Of
getting something, instead of sharing
in the joy of giving. In this way
they lose the best part of the Christ
mas joy. Be sure to let even the
little ones have q share in the Christ
mas preparation; teach them that
the best part of every gift is the
love that goes with it, and to try to
make happy Christmas for as many
as they can. 1t would be a good
thing if all children would commit
to memory these lines, by Phoebe
Carey, and practice them;
Children whose lives are blest with love
untolG,
Whose gifts are greater than your arms
can hold.
Think of the child who stands
To-day with empty hands!
Go fill them up and you will also Ill
Their empty hearts, that be so cold and
still.
And brighten longing eyes
With grateful, glad surprise
May all who have at this blest season seeh
His precious little ores-the poor and weak.
In joyful. sweet accord,
Thus lending to the I4ordl

II was six years now since Sidney's
marriage, and Cynthia had not relent-
ed nor had Sidney asked aid, although
there were two little children, and
Edith wGs nearly blind with an attic
ton of the eyes.
Miss Cynthia's heart yearned for
those children, and whenever she
passed a group of neighborhood little
ones, her sharp eyes peared into each
small face trying to discern which
were the Bruce children, but she had
never felt sure of their identity. Her
heart was unusually tender on this
Christmas eve, and for the first time
she wondered if she had not been too
hard upon Sidney and Edith. She had
missed Edith's willing service many
times in the past few years, and there
had been no one to take her place in
Miss Cynthia's household. She
strained her eyes into the gathering
darkness to see Sidney pass on his
homeward way, but it was impossible
to distinguish him in the hurrying
throng. 1t was showing a little now,
and it was some time before Miss Gym
thia noticed two little figures going
along the sidewalk, hand in hand,
laughing and shouting with glee. The
fence in front of Miss Cynthia's yard
was an iron one with the bars set
some distance apart, and the children
paused and pressed their faces be-
tween the pickets, gazing into the
lighted house.
The room in which Miss Cynthia
stood was still in darkness, and she
could see them quite plainly but re-
NAMED herself unseen. The children
whispered together, then with hesitat-
ing steps came forward toward the
gate and opened itwith some difficulty.
Slowly they came up the walk to the
house and gave the bell tremendous
pull. Miss Cynthia went to the door
with a pleased sense of anticipation,

for it was seldom children came to the
solemn old house. When the heavy
door swung open, the children almost
fell into the hall, as they had been
leaning against it, wiping the snow
from their little shoes.
"What do you want, children?"
asked Miss Cynthia, assisting them to
regain their balance and closing the
door behind them.
They looked at each other timidly,
their eyes growing large and solemn.
The smaller, a little girl, put one fat
finger in her mouth and looked up at
Miss Cynthia searchingly.

"No, only in two rooms, mammals
and the sitting-room. We used to

boy, looking into Miss Cynthia's face,

"Just Mary; she washes the dishes

sharp blue eyes roved over the famil-

minded herself of hard facts that had
heretofore given her satisfaction; she
was the richest woman in Dalesburg,
her house was the largest and most

most fashionable and yet
She got up impatiently and, going

FASTENED past, carrying bundles of all
shapes and sizes, for it was Christmas
eve; the sight sent queer little thrills
over Miss Cynthia and great load
seemed to settle on her heart. She
had no one to buy gifts for, she told
herself, and no one cared enough for
the lonely old spinster to even give her
good wishes.
1t had not always been thus. She
recalled the many, many happy De-
cembers she had enjoyed when Sid
ney Bruce. her nephew and only living
relative, had lived in her house. She
had taken him to live with her when
he was a small boy, and her love for
him had grown into mild idolatry
by the time he had become a man.
Sidney returned her affection with all
the strength of his loving heart IN
til he wanted to marry Edith Blake.
Miss Cynthia had other plans for Sid
ney, and refused to even discuss Edith
with him, but Sidney was very much
in love and cared not farthing that
Edith was poor and a sort of upper
servant in his aunt's house. Edith was
a peace-loving girl who found the sit
uation almost more than she could
bear, for Miss Cynthia had taken her
when an orphan, six years before, and
had been like a mother to her ever
since. Edith loved Miss Cynthia dear
ly, but loved Sidney more, and one
December day she went away with
him and was married.
Miss Cynthia did not rave or storm:
she simply ignored the existence of
the youthful pair, and Sidney, reared
in luxury, had to go to work at any
thing he could find to do. He had
never even tried to support himself
and now he had Edith to love and cher.

corners of the house.

w the Christmas
story dear,
Ana yet once more we tell it; all eagerly

The years haste into centuries, the cen
turtles grow old,
Still never once too often is the blessed
story fold,
And never once too often do we talk of that
strange night
When humble shepherds witnessed the
angels southwark flight;
Never our thought grows weary tracing
the sacred way,
mat leads us to the manger where Mary s
baby lay,
For He whom wise men worshipe6
brought gift of peace for strife,
Brought joy for sorrows darkness, brought
hope and love and life.
Wherever watching mothers pray for their
babes to-day,
The precious lives are safer because OF One
Defenseless in the Manager two thousand
years ago;
Sweeter earth's babies slumber since that
dear head lay low,
Unframed beside the cattle, watched by
the angel throng,
WhlIe heavenly hosts were singing the
first glad Christmas song.
Wherever hearts grow weary, wherever
sin abides
Whatever be our anguish, whatever woe
betides,
The darkness would be deeper, pain harder
to be borne,
II Heaven had forgotten to send that
Christmas morn!
Once more, then, let US read it, the Christ

And yet once more repeat 1t that other
hearts may hear
The years haste into centuries, the CEN

YET once again hearts hunger to have the
story told.
Tell the dear little children about that

When watching shepherds witnessed the

Lead feet that long have wandered, into

That LEADS them to the manger where

For He whom wise men worshiped brought

And Christ was born from Heaven that
mortals might have life.
