The confident voice, the voice of a

Alice demurred.
But the boy, undisturbed by criti-

slowly and conscientiously, the two

audacity of it seemed to bring so
near, that it thrilled her, a night
when, for another Child's sake, the
skies had rung with a song that has
echoed always. Benny's fresh tones
disclosed, with careful conversational
emphasis, more and more facts about
angels, to him a shade less real, a
shade more holy than his mother.

An atheist would have got an i'm
preston, hearing him tell it, that the
boy had seen with his eyes and heard
with his ears what he related. There
was a silence as the sturdy tones end
ed and Benny's eyes gazed on into
the heart of the fire, as if they saw in
a vision the still eastern night, the
shepherds on the hills, the white fight
of angels.
