A Christmas Story.

BY Thyrza Buchanan. Aged II Years, Sill
yer Creek, Neb. Red Side.
Once upon a time, very, very long ago,
something happened.
II was longer ago than you can even
think. 1t happened on the same day as
Christmas.
Some wise men wero on a hill. They
were watching their sheep. 1t was night.
1t was very dark and still.
Suddenly they heard a voice. 1t came
from the sky.
Suddenly they saw a bright light. 1t
was all around them.
The voice said BE not afraid, be glad.
The Christ child Is born this day, 60 to
the city. You will find Him there in a
manger."
Then the wise men heard the beautiful
singing. in a moment the singing was
gone. The voice was gone. The bright
light was gone.
SO the wise men went to the city. They
found the Christ child lying on some hay
in the manger
They loved Him. He was so good and so
beautiful.
Ever since then we have kept this
ohild's birthday.
We call it Christmas.

Bonnie the poor fellow took heart to fly
and went across the room, landing on the
top of a picture. why, it's a real live
bird!' cried Santa Claus. Then everyone
became excited and MIR. Greyson had ia
quiet them by saying: BE very still, for
the little thing is frightened within an
inch of his life. He doubtless got in while
the window was open and found what he
was looking for-shelter from the terrible
night. All, you dear little sparrow" he
said, addressing Bonnie, I'm make a
house in the tree beside the gate for you
tomorrow. Till then you shall remain in
here"
And, sure enough, on the morrow Mr..
Greyson, with the assistance of Harry,
Jack and May, built a snug little house
and fastened It securely in a fork of the
tree, where winds could not blow 1t loose.
And inside the little house May placed soft
cotton and straw for Birdie to sleep in,
and under the tree on top the gate posts
crumbs were put In plenty for Bonnie, and
a deep bowl OF pure water was also placed
on one of the gate posts every day so that
Bonnie might drink and battle whenever he
desired to do so.
It was not for several hours on Christmas
day that Bonnie could be persuaded 10
enter his new and comfortable house in
the tree. for he was still frightened at the
big people who were about him. AS soon
as the house had been completed and fixed
in the tree Mrs. Greyson had opened the
windows In the parlor and allowed Bonnie
to make his escape. Once in the big, free
world outside. however Bonnie partly re-
covered himself and felt that no harm
could come to him now If he Just kept his
distance from the people. So he waited
on top OF a barn in the rear OF a neigh
boris house till the family had gone in
doors, then he slyly flew to the Greysons'
front gate and ate some OF the crumbs
from the gate post Then he sought the
tree beside the gate and on exploring the
rare branches, hunting no doubt for a
warm place, for the weather was still bit
terly cold, he found the house with the
open door. Into II he first put his head.
and, seeing that tho place contained no
enemy, into it he stepped. And, finding IL
so coy, he decided to remain, which he
did.
And all that winter did Bonnie stay in
the little house IN the tree and IL was
May Greyson who named him Bonnie, for
she declared he was the bonniest birdie
she had ever seen" and all the family
agreed with her. And not one day or night
did Bonnie feel the cold, and when other
sparrows CHANGED TO pay him visit
which was quite frequently-he had a de-
liEhtful parlor in which to entertain them
And. seeing these little visitors coming
there caused Mr.. Greyson and his sons to
build several more sparrow houses In the
tree beside the gate. and there were plenty
OF sparrows 10 take possession as soon as
the tree apartments were ready for them
Il wonder II Bonnie ever tells his friends
Of his Christmas eve?" asked May one
morning, as she and Jack were feeding the
birds.

Mr.. Greyson. well, let's have a peep at
the tree, mamma, All have had a hand at
the fixing except myself. And I've some
small trinkets to hang on a limb"
IF there's a limb left" laughed Mrs.
Greyson. And she drew the curtain aside
so that her husband might look at the
tree. While he was examining 1t he slipped
from his pocket several small boxes, which
he tied to one OF the less-burdened limbs.

speaking Of the tree.
Then the children Joined their parents
in the parior and pretty soon the young
guests arrived. Then all was merrymaking
and fun.
And after the curtain was drawn from
in front Of the tree the light shone fun
upon frightened little Bonnie. He sat in

making loads OF fun as he lifted the gifts
from the tree. But Bonnie could not enter
into the spirit of the occasion, for he felt
that every minute would be his last. So he
sat covering and shivering on the limb,
too much afraid Of what might happen TO
him should he fly away from It.
And pretty soon a pair OF bright eyes
rested on him. They were Santa's eyes.
and he thought Bonnie a stuffed or toy

later, II was only 8 o'clock and all the
town was in its gala Christmas eve attire.
But there beat one heavy little heart in

The heart that Ached from cold and loneli-

perehed and shlvering on the bare branch
II slender trea that stood bending in the
wind Just outside the gate OF very coy
home. In the home dwelt the Greysons, a
family consisting OF father. mother, two
IONS and one daughter, The childrens
aames were Harry, Jack and May. Harry
was "a years old. Jack was II and May 6
May was always called the baby OF the
family and her two big brothers were
forever doing nice things for her. She's

But that's another story. Let us to the
dilemma Of poor little Bonnie, as he sat
shivering near TO his death on the bare
limb OF the slender tree that waved and
tossed In the wind near to the front gate
Of the Greysons home. "I'h surely freeze

shadows OF night gathered rapidly about
him, And am so hungry oh, so hungry

Then tho warm. yellow light coming from
the parlor windows OF the Greyson house

nearer to the house that he might get A

And Difficulty was met many times face

A nickname that he would not likely

When grown into manhood he wed fair

Twas then poverty lurked at his door

Yet he won.

Nor was it as easy at nothing at all.
