Christmas Eve came. Mr.. Bentley

the wind buffeted him as he mounted the
slope. The next day the mill must stand
idle. but on the following morning the
men should be notified of the reduction

firm, cruel line. He had looked out for
himself; others must do the same.
He reached the house. As he passed
through the hall the dining room door
stood open. He noted the vase Of scar
let carnations, ordered from the city, in
the center of the table. Upon a quaint
old sideboard was a basket Of oranges
and pale green grapes and plate of the
nuts over which Florence loved to linger

down before the fire. He was so en-

1t was nearly morning when the cure
came to the chateau to request an inter
view with the marquis. He told him that
Hugh Lamonte was at the village inn
and dying The marquis, astonished and
affected at this sudden announcement, in
the midst of his joy for the safety of
Rose, prepared Immediately to visit him.
and the physician, NJ. Merry, satisfied
that the most favorable change had TAX
en- place in his patients case, left her
IN the care of Mademoiselle Montauban
and the countess and accompanied the
marquis.
In a few moments the party arrived
at the auberge. Maurice met them with
a nominous countenance.
How is he-is there any changer" ask
ed the cure, anxiously.
None, monsieur" answered the man.
HE raves still; but he talks of some gull
ty deed to be atoned for-some secret to
be confessed. | can make nothing sat
lsfaetory, though, out of what he says,
he wanders so"
The three ascended to the chamber
above, where lay the dying man. The
marquis started as he beheld him, stretch
ed out upon the couch, with his wild. un-
shorn and emaciated countenance, and
coarse, rough garments, which he had
not suffered to be removed, presenting
spectacle so wretched. The kind-hearted
old man could scarcely refrain from she'd
ding tears as he gazed upon the wreck
of that one proud form.

exclaimed, advancing towards the couch.

the sick man, sternly; "who calls him

told how she had grown tired Of spend
ing her vacations at the school.
You know, grandpa, that il is dread
ful to have no-one Of your very own to
be glad with, and I've come to spend
Christmas with you"
The girl was so sure that her grand.
father was glad to see her that he could
not tell her she was unwelcome. An hour
later they sat at dinner. The old man
looked across to where the girls golden
head cleaned in the lamp.
She chatted gayly. When they rose
from the table she went with him to the
study. Sitting ON a stool, she told him of
her school life
Il am happy there, grandpa, but will
be glad when school is finished. Then |
can keep house for you. 1t has been so
kind in you to do without me SO | could
be educated"
He made no response. They parted
without the words being said that would
send Florence back to school. Mr. Bent
ley resolved to say them at breakfast the
next morning. There he found himself
confronted by that smiling face, and was
obliged to hold bis peace.
Florence stayed. Simpson, the maid,
and the man all delighted to serve her.
A few simple changes were made in the
dreary old house Mr.. Bentley chose
some new furniture He ordered that
good fires should be kept up and babe
Simpson see that the table was well
spread
Gilbert Bentley was powerless. Flor
ence would think the best Of him. She
would think that he loved her and was
glad to have her there. She would be-
lieye that he shared her own love for hu-
manity and her reyerent trust in God.
She went with him to the mill and
through the village. There her mistaken
idea of his character showed in a strong
light. Many of his workmen were living
in poverty. She knew he was doing all
he could for them, but was there not
some way she could help? What was he
going to do for the men and for the
churches of the town for Christmas?

THE PASSING YEAR.


Across the shadows Of the night
There come TO my expeetant ear
The twelve deep notes that tell the flight
VI yet another passing year.
Its limits reached, Its work is done,
Its record sealed and sent on high,
Unknown TO all and seen by none
Except Gods own allseeing eye.
An, me! those years, those vanished years,
In memory, but beyond recall,
How filed with foolish doubts and fears,
How stained with sin and blotted all
What can We ask Of thee but grace
To make these failures Of the past
The beacon lights by which to trace
Our way to thee, o Christ, at last!
Farewell, Old Yearl There have been days
OF grief and ill-so, too, Of good;
AND Tor them both we give God praise,
Though at the time misunderstood
dis wisdom measures all our needs;
lie knows the weakness Of our frame;
Ills love our highest thought exceeds;
lie calls US by his own dear name.
So pass the years IN solemn state
Beyond our ken; we count the sun;
Ihey come and go, we watch and wait
Until our own set time shall come.
God OF the years, from out whose hand,
With all our precious gifts, they come,
Give us the grace to understand,
And make them helps to lead us homel
Christian Work.

cent on all wages. One week-that will
be the twenty-ifth. Why, that will be
Christmas, and the men must have a
holiday, Christmasl As if that old super
stition made any difference with the
world to-dayw
The frown on his brow deepened. He
leaned back, staring from a window. He
could see the long, low buildings Of the
Bentley Lumber Company. In the back
ground was the leafess forest, The sun
was setting and the sky, above the tree
tops. was tinged with rosy glow.
Gilbert Bentley had spent ten years
In that numbering village. In that time
he had doubled his capital. Now, owing
to a general depression, his profits were
small To continue his business through
the winter would mean very little profit,
but doubtless the spring would bring
change. Well, he would not wait for
spring.
Money had always been Gilbert Bent
ley's god. He had begun life a poor boy
and had worked his way upward, un-
aided. His life had been too busy for
sentiment To be sure he had married.
His wife lived only a few years. There
was a child. Harold had grown up, high
spirited and proud. IN early manhood
be married against his fathers wishes.
Estrangement had followed Harold and
his wife died within a few months of
each other, leaving a little daughter.
Pride prompted Mr. Bentley to pay the
girls bills at a good school, but he never
saw her.
The door bell rang and there was the
sound of footsteps and voices in the hall.
The door Of the study was thrown open,
and sweet voice cried:
Grandpa, are you hereT
Before Mr.. Bentley could speak. Simp-
son, his old English housekeeper, enter
ed. In one hand she held aloft a lighted
lamp, thus showing Gilbert Bentley his
unexpected visitor. She was a slender
girl Of sixteen, a dimpled, blonde face
lighted by sunny blue eyes.
Why, don't you know me? am
Florence. and am glad-so glad-to see
your"
She was at his side, both arms round
his neck, and her lips uplifted for his
kiss As in a dream he listened as she

time would lose much of its beauty and
delight. The child's imagination, which
transforms commonplace things, the
child's receptivity, which does not stop
to question, but enjoys--these reflect
themselves upon our minds and bring US
for the moment into the childlike mood Of
happiness. Nor is the child's thought of
happiness simply one Of getting. Neither
the gift nor the surprise of the gift, dear
as these are to the childs heart, brings
as much pleasure as the planning and
the giving. The best Of Christmas is en-
joyed before ever Christmas comes. We
older ones need to be reminded every year
that love is more than elaboration at the
Christmas time, and that the value of the
gift is measured by the affection of the
giver; but unspoiled children know it and
act upon 1t, as if there could be no doubt
