"Did you have any money In the
bank?" he asked after a pause.
Every cent that own in the world!'
she answered, lifting her handkerchief
to her eyes and bursting into tears.
'I am sorry" The man spoke with
an embarrassment that seemed out of
harmony with his rough features. She
wiped her eyes and with little at
tempt at bravery said:
"Oh, know ought not to dotbis-and
Of course you do not understand. When
the doctors ordered papa out here. he
put $1,000 in that bank, and after-he
died-it was all had. Now it is gone,
and l, oh, am so helpless! And here
it is Christmas time" She wept afresh,
ard the man moved uneasily in his
seat, lifted his paper and turned the
leaves nervously.
In few minutes she dried her eyes
and leaned wearily against the back
of her seat. She had not slept for two
nights, and soon her eyes closed un-
consciously, and she sank heavily
against the straight, uncomfortable
side Of the car. With a sudden lurch
of the train she swayed to the right

little unconscious heap upon the strong
shoulder of her companion. He looked

heap and left 1t beneath her head. The

delicately shaped face against tie

thrown in childlike trustfulness above
the glistening masses Of golden hair.
Bending quickly over the sleeping
girl he fumbled few seconds with
the coat under her head. then drew
back and pulling his hat over his eyes
peered from under the wide brim into
| the darkness outside. Several shrill
whistles came from under the car

there was q muttered oath. AS the
car moved Off he ran wildly down the

/ The noise of the engine increased
and the girl opened her eyes. She
looked up into the face of the man
standing over her and started. Could
I he be the same? Was she dreaming
Surely her seat mate did not wear a
mustache, yet these seemed to be the
same piercing black eyes, the same
broad shoulders.
She stared stupidly and thought the
mustache must be vagary. Then her
eyes fell on the coat under her head
and she faltered:
'Thank you SO much for putting II

The man smiled knowingly. "Yes,

Above the altar twelve lamps are
banging, to represent the twelve apos-
ties. Three steps more lead down to
another chapel over the alleged stall in
which, according to Latin tradition.
the wooden manger was discovered.
On Christmas eve the pilgrims crowd
around the church awaiting the hour
of opening in order to get good seats
to witness, the grand ceremony Every
man. woman and child who can pos
sibly come is present. The nave being
devoid of any seats, the people sit or
kneel on the marble floor, making a
curious mass of red fezes and white
wells. In silent prayer they await the
hour of the service. Meanwhile the
strains of the Te Deum softly rise from
the great organ. ,ifsf; 5000 i1 fl
Presently procession of bishops and
archbishops. attired in their most gor-
geous robes, enters the church chant

monks and small boys dressed in scar

handsomest church decorations are
Kept LUZ luib yearly btLFlSc.
The deep. well trained voices Of the
choir join in singing beautiful anthems,
after which there is a great deal Of
chanting without much variation. Sew
eral times during the service the bish-
ops, one after another, absent them
selves to rcappear in different attire,
each of the robes being, If possible,
more gorgeous than the last.
At midnight there is a sudden lull
in the music and bells in the distance
ring the midnight chime. Then, as by
magic, curtain is drawn aside and
over the chancel gates q cradle ap-

worshipers and within the cradle an

I happen to be the detective in this

The girl sat staring up in the face OF
her new companion without opening
her lips. At last she burst into hys-
terical fit of laughing. Suddenly
checking herself she lifted the coat and
uttered a loud exclamation as little
package dropped cut Of the folds.
Slipping off the cover she picked up
roll of bills, and pinned carefully to
one of them was scrap of paper upon
which some words had been hurriedly
written with a lead pencil:
Please accept as a Christmas present

His face was hidden by the newspaper

vain struggle to read by the fast fad

disgust, she leaned forward and asked
timidly:

to see If there is any later news about
the Pochunk bank robbery"
He handed her the paper and watch
ed her curiously as she bent over it
and with eagerness read the first page.
"Did you find out what you wanted
to know?" he asked when she handed
the paper back to him.
"No, for there is no trace of the
thieves or the money yeti" she an
swered, with great deal of feeling.

II IN tie town of Bethlehem, six
miles south of Jerusalem,
was crowded with visitors at about
this time of the year, all coming to be
taxed in their native country. In a
cave, below the principal inn or
khan of the town, where the oxen
were usually kept, gentle Jewish
maid bent lovingly over her Babe. A
light from heaven illumined the rude
manger where He peacefully lay and
shed brilliant radiance over the scene.
Several hundred years later the
pious Empress Helena of Rome visited
Palestine and discovered this grotto in
Bethlehem, which had served as
humble shelter for the Christ Child.
She was convinced that this was the
very place which had been hallowed
by the nativity, and thereupon wished
to mark the spot for all time. She had
a magnificent church built over the
site, SO that Christians from generation
to generation might worship there.
The remains of that beautiful building
are still to be seen in the city of Beth.
