III common. 1t has a long double line
OF Corinthian pillars similar to those
which are found in the Mosque of
omar on the site of the ancient temple
III Jerusalem. The faded mosaic ON the
wall ana the rough ceiling of beams
from the cedars of Lebanon are the
only treasures remaining in this cdifice
which was once blazing with gold and
silver. This ancient building adioins
the one now in use and is only divided
from 1t by small door.
Here are the usual affairs and images
which are found in the Latin church
all over the orient, and in the Greek
portion are the curious pictures which
the Greeks revere in the place of
images. \ spiral staircase of fourteen
steps leads from this church down to
the holy crypt, a grotto twenty feet un-
der the great choir.
This holy crypt forms the chapel of
the manger and is a subterranean
vault excavated out of the limestone
rock of which the hill of Bethlehem
Is composed. On its walls are old
silken tapestries. Many of the silver
lamps hanging here were donations
from kings, and are always kept alight.

Did you have any money in the
bank" he asked after Il pause.
Every cent that own in the world
she answered, lifting her handkerchief
to her eyes and bursting into tears.
II am sorry" The man spoke with
an cmbarra Ssment that seemed out Of
harmony with his rough features. She
wiped her eyes and with Il little at
tempt at bravery said:
"Oh. | know | ought not to dothis-aud
# course you do not understand. When
the doctors ordered papa out here, he
put S.. 900 in that bank, and after-he
died-it was all had. Now it is gone,
and |, oh, | am 50 helpless. And here
it is Christmas time" She wept afreSh
and the man moved uneaSily in his
seat, lifted his paper and turned the
leaves nervously.
In few minutes she dried her eyes
and leaned YEARLY 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 sudden lurch
of the train she swayed to the right,
then back again. and finally fell in n
little unconscious heap upon the strong
shoulder - her companion. He looked
heIplessly. hesitatingly. at her Il mo.
ment. then. quietly moving in his seat.

heap and left it beneath her head. The
light from above family outlined her
dclcatoly shaped face against the
black coat. her small white hand was
thrown in childlike truStfulneSs above
the glistenin@ masses Of golden hair,
Bending quickly over the sleeping
girl he fumbled a 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 ear
window. Il lantern flashed up and
there was muttered oath. As the
car moved off he ran wildly down the .
aisle.
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 .
he he 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 stupidity and thought he
mustache must be a vagary. Then her
eyes fell on the coat under her head
and she faltered:
Thank you so much for putting il
there. hope you haven't come to
your station"
The man smiled knowingly. YES,
miss. he has passed his station. but
for some reason he left his coat be-

Above the altar twelve lamps are
banging, to represent the twelve apos'

another chapel over the alleged stall i'll
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
curious mass of red fezes and white
wells In silent prayer they await the
hour of the service. Meanwhile the
strains of the lie Deum softly rise from
the great organ.
Presently procession of bishops ana
archbishops, attired in their most gor-
geous robes. enters the church chant
ing. They are followed by priests and
monks and small boys dressed in scar
let. who constitute the choir. Inc
handsomest church decorations are
kept for this yearly service.

choir join in singing beautiful anthems
after which there is Il great deal OF

The detective gave "A long drawn out
whistle when he read the note.
He is bad fellow, but he might be
worse" he commented with a crest
fallen sort of smile. Don't you feel a
little proud of the way you handled
the most notorious outlaw in the
state?'
But the girl did not trust herself to
answer. She had turned her face to
the window and in the little prayer of
thanksgiving she sent out across the
wide, wild darkness for her recovered
fortune there was plea for the man
who had given it back to her.

took a seat beside the girl at the Win

stole a glance at her new companion.
His face was hidden by the newspaper

vain struggle to read by the fast fad
ing light. When he threw it down in
disgust. she leaned forward and asked
timidly:
