been trying to get up his courage to talk to his richest and stingiest mem- Der about starting the new church building, and, with the aid of the Christmas angels, the minister se- cured a promise that the rich man would bear half the expense of the new building and think about the new organ.
 That night the man sat alone after the house was still. If he had had keener sense of hearing he would have heard the Christmas angels singing song of thanksgiving near him, but he only heard his own soul speaking in the night: "John Kings ley, there has been a mistake. You have been thought selfish and cold toward God and man. But you are fond of folks and of doing good with your money-the real John, I mean. The old, lonely, selfish man is dead, John. I am going, with Gods help, to make myself present of noble, generous soul!"

Her hus- band died year ago, and she finds she cannot stand sewing in shop to support them. so she has come to her girl hood home to see what she can do here. sew her yesterday, and wormed out of her that she was liv- ing in two rooms and hadn't gotten anything to do."

 "So you will help his poor daugh- ter," spoke up Jessie. "Thank you;and Nancy said she'd admire to get din- her for her preacher and his folks onct."
 "Nancy is the best church mem Der in the family. But what more do you want for Christmas? Do you think I have a Fortunatus purse 9"
 "No; but big heart lengthens any pocketbook; so I guess you might give me five dollars to get presents for these five children. Jake said he could find me a little tree out in the woods, and we'll be all right. l suppose you'll get Nancy a dress; l saw warm pretty brown one downtown yesterday. And Jake?"
 q always give Nancy a dollar, but Jake doesn't earn more than his wages"
 ''He has sick mother; but you know that, of course, you dear old fellow. You look sick yourself, and Pm going to bed and let you rest" said Jessie, dropping a kiss on the bald spot on her uncle's head.
 q can stand it once," he groaned when he was alone, but before the week was out he began to feel the ''more blessedness," and surprised himself by going around whistling like a boy and handing out nickels to school children, winding up with giving each of his bank employees check Christmas eve. Not satisfied, he sent oranges to the Sunday school tree and to his sister Mary ten dol lars.
 He smiled with real pleasure when he saw the five heavy baskets Jake was to take around Christmas eve. He hung around living over boy hood memories, while Nancy stuffed the big turkey and Jessie made

 Jessie went right on as if he had been enthusiastic.
 It Is a thank offering year, you know, and We must do more than usual. The children have been mak- ing scrap books and fixing up old toys for months, and I've knit nit tens at night, and mamma earned hve dollars for the poor"

 "Nancy attends to the dinners her self" answered Uncle John, little stifiIy.
 "Oh, can I help her and order what 1 want at the grocery? I suppose Tn town llhe this there gre many who look to you for their Christmas turkey" said Jessie, brightly.

 You haven't asked for anything for yourself, chick" he said to his 1 niece.
 Tears came to the young girls eyes. Ut is enough to have such a kind, generous uncle," she answered. And. uncle. l don't believe people understand how noble-hearted you are"
 Evidently not, for that evening the banker had overheard one of his clerks say, This is the first time we have gotten what we did not slave for. Is he going crazy?" and Nancy had remarked to Jake, in tones over heard in the next room: "He won't be long with us. Folks often change in nature fore they're struck with death."
 In the morning Uncle John found a pair of mittens at his plate from Nancy and several pretty but useful things, the handiwork of his niece. Nancy was radiant over the new wool dress and Jake grinning over a two-dollar bill, while Jessie danced with joy over pretty gold pin set in pearls, having few ornaments dear to a girls heart.
 The dinner was a great success and the little widow and her children thought they were in paradise. The third minister's wife forgot her wor- ries and let Jessie fill her children with cake and candy almost beyond the rescuing power of any remedy. After dinner the banker called Nancy aside and asked if the widow and her children could stay until she could find work, if extra help were hired and Nancy, overshadowed by Christmas angels, consented.

 Glad to see you, Fuss. You look as your ma did at your age. It was kind of you to give up city holidays and come into a country village in the dead of winter.''
 ''Oh, I came to visit ou, and you are not dead nor cold," laughed Jes- sic, merrily.
 A thrill of new life went through the old bachelors heart. Then his sister had not let her children know what selfish old fellow he was.
 The large Kingsley family had scattered east and west. all except sfthe eldest, John. When the town took in the old homestead he was able to start a bank in the villa ge. The more he enlarged in his worldly possessions the more contracted be- came his heart. He lived in the old brick homestead alone, except for the presence of a faithful old do- mestic and the hired man. He did not often visit his relatives or ask them to visit him, but Mary was a minister's wife and her husband had lately been sent to one of the small churches in the large city near, and the sister determined to try to win the lonely man back to himself.
 "I am aIraid you will find this dark house very still," said the uncle.

 Nancy is a Tartar; you had bet ter keep out of her kitchen" warned the uncle. "I do not dare give too many orders" But Jessie went in and conquered at once She always expected the very best of everyone, and in hunting for the rose side of every nature she, some way, got around the thorns without bringing them to the surface.
 Uncle John could hardly believe he was in his own house when he saw it all open, warm and light, with flowers in tn windows, and Nancy looking kind instead of naughty and severe. He heard such merry peals of laughter from the kitchen he ven- tured into those sacred precincts to help pop corn and crack hickory nuts. Man is domestic animal, and the odor of frying doughnuts and the sight of the raisins being stoned and eggs growing into snow white foam, bring up pleasant sensations.
 JesGie had pleasant way Of going to meet her uncle, and t quickened his old heart to see le bright face under the red cap coming, his way. After supper she brought his slip pers and put the table near the glow ing grate, for she insisted that there was nothing poetical in heat coming out of the flo :. and then would sit down and talk. One evening she said:
 "I hope you haven't made all of your Christmas plans. It would be such fun to help you make out your list"
 My what?" asked the uncle. in surprise.
