Hardly had the Christmas horns
blown their first greetings of the day
when Midnight saw two figures COM
ing down the street from different di.
rections. One was Cameron, walking
slowly along the main thoroughfare,
and the other was Miss Willoughby.
Merry Chrismus!" called Midnight,
even before the young lawyer had
reached the stand. "Ah hopes you is

of the stand, taking great pains not to

to avoid her.

Half unconsciously the two young
persons reached for the bough, then
hesitated

Miss Willoughby.

Cameron. Perhaps you will find the

"Ah'll give 1t T. Miss Willoughby IF

! The girl glanced at Cameron, and In
another moment the young couple
were walking away from the stand
carrying the bunch of mistletoe be-

leaned against his stand and COM
mented:
"Ah guess Ah'll take dis otha piece

Bethlenem of the wonder which was
happening in their town that night.
Suppose some gentle woman had

pie act of hospitality, her name
would have been written high, high
among the names of earths happiest
folk. Blessed is she," we should
have cried, ito whose home the
Christmas joy first camel" But the
women of the Judean town did not
know to throw wide their doors and
bring in the worlds gratitude and
love, says the Youths Companion. So
the Child was laid in a manger, and
oblivion holds the names of all the
women in Bethlehem who slept that
night beneath the wings of wondering
angels. Had they but known
Year by year. for 10 centuries the
story of the night at Bethlehem has
been told and retold To-day no house

lage or on distant prairie can plead
the ignorance in which Bethlehem
then lay. II the door is shut on
the Christ-child today, 1t is not from
lack Of knowledge, but from churlish-
ness or indifference.

"Abide with us!"
Barred out alike from cottage and
palace and inn in Palestine, the Hope
of the World renews his appeal each
Christmas-tide to our modern Chris

first Christmas, the heart is softened
