took place, a. model of the scara-

are many varieties Of this sacred

from harm and insure desirable

Ever since that first Christmas eve

kitchen and ct table. One night as he
was bringing in the boar's head for his
masters dinner he saw the star shin
Ing over Bethlehem. Immediately he
set down the huge platter and ex-
claimed.

ant. for a greater King than thou Is

Nay" answered Stephen; Il lack
neither meat nor drink, but the Child
that is born this night Is greater than

That Is as true" quoth Herod. smit-
ing the table with bis fist. ''as that this
roast cock on the platter shall crow be
fore u.s."
Hardly were the words out Of his
mouth when the cock stretched his
neck and crowed Justly. ''christus na

words were true Herod was 80 ang-'
